tour guide was awesome according to my daughter. every place they visited was worth talking about. she loved everything about DC.

"I was disappointed with our recent trip…"

I was disappointed with our recent trip to Quebec's Winter Carnival. The bus ride was good, but that was organized by a contractor and thus not a reflection of WorldStrides itself. Overall, our tour guide Jerome was pleasant enough, but not knowledgeable about the city of Quebec. The tour was extremely poorly managed, with inappropriate wait times or activities for the students. In particular, the dog sledding activity involved a 5 minute lap on a sled followed by cheap hot chocolate and the kids sitting around for over an hour before leaving for Winter Carnival (totally inappropriate). The tour guide then dumped the kids off on a side street in the pitch dark and did not organize a meet-up place following the "parade," thus leaving the kids - many of them freshmen in H.S. and leaving the country for the first time - to find their way back to the hotel by themselves in the dark (again, inappropriate). The meals were repetitive and uninspired, focusing largely on greasy meats, eggs and potatoes and not offering much variety for kids who like to eat on the healthy side. Winter Carnival itself did not have much in the way of activities for the kids. The hotel was nice, but being so far away from Old Quebec, kids spent a ridiculous amount of time on the bus trying to get from one venue to another. You need to better organize this trip to maximize experience for the students and allow for more interfacing of real Quebequois people.

"I learned a lot and saw a lot."

I learned a lot and saw a lot. I had fun with my friends and also felt safe. I would recommend going to DC with World Strides.

"The bus was nice"

The bus was nice, hotel was nice and overall food good. Didn’t like Yard House food- other than that - it was great! Only downside was when it was pouring down rain- I would’ve been fine to change plans

"Tour guide (buck) was amazing and very…"

Tour guide (buck) was amazing and very knowledgeable. Bus driver (Tony) was very good.
Food options were limited, food quality was terrible at some places. some food choices weren’t open or did not have the options listed. Some of our girls really had trouble finding anything to eat.

"Great Experience"

My daughter had a great experience with WorldStrides on a recent trip to Washington DC. From the moment they got off the plane, their days were FILLED with non-stop tours, museums, and visits to so many different places. She said that the food/restaurants were really good, too.

She says that her tour guide, Buck, was the best tour guide ever. She will truly never forget him and her trip to Washington DC.

"Tour guide and bus driver were great"

Tour guide and bus driver were great. Hotels were nice and accommodating. Other than giving us rooms WITH balconies when our specific request was for rooms WITHOUT balconies.

The food offered during the “included meals” was not appetizing, impressive, or healthy. There was too much “free time” every day and there weren’t any activities planned on our last full day of the trip.

"I think that it was fun but the places…"

I think that it was fun but the places ee visited were a loteo bit boring but over all it was fun

"Well organized group experience"

Locations were amazing. Food choices could have been a little better and included in the package price.
