Our guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and remained flexible to give us the best possible experience!! Our driver was wonderful. The Westin hotel did not provide maid service! That was NOT pleasant! If we had known, we could have brought some Clorox wipes at least! A whole week with no cleaning and no notice of no cleaning was terrible. I’ve stayed in camp facilities before, but we knew what we were getting. To be staying at a Westin with no cleaning was unexpected and aggravating! The meals were ok. Some were better than others.

Mr. Jenkins was amazing. Of course having a connection to the school helped, but he gave life lessons as well as history lessons—which is missing in a lot of society. The trip was great and seamless from our end.

We had a very nice time in Paris. Top of the list was the wonderful tour guide Jean Luc. He could not have been more caring and knowledgeable. Just a joy to be around. Also the variety of the things we did was wonderful. I would have preferred to spend more money though to have higher end food and to spend less time on the subway.

Our guide Jean Luc was knowledgeable and interesting. Our hotel was nice. The beds comfortable. Their breakfasts were fantastic. The hotel staff accommodating. The opportunity to see many sites. Great experience!

The guide was very knowledgeable and the sites in Paris were terrific. I did not think, however, it was a trip for people our age. Riding the subway and long waits, as well as walks, were a strain for many of us. I don't know why advance tickets could not have been purchased for the Eiffel Tower instead of waiting in line for an hour and a half. We spent three days and many hours in a bus going in the same direction. It might have been better to visit Giverny, Honfleur, Deauville, and the D-Day museum in one multi-day swing.

Was a great trip with my friends. I wish we could visit the Airspace museum and an Art gallery, but it was not on the list

The destinations were really meaningful and fun. The International Spy Museum by far has to be my favorite. I could spend a whole day there.

Our recent school trip to New York City with WorldStrides was an unforgettable experience, especially for our creative arts group with a passion for musical theatre! The focus on performing arts made it feel incredibly tailored to our interests, and WorldStrides’ organization and professionalism exceeded all expectations. The highlight of the trip was, of course, Broadway! We had the chance to see three Broadway shows, each unique and inspiring, along with one off-Broadway performance that gave us a glimpse into NYC’s vibrant theater scene beyond the main stage. Being immersed in professional productions helped deepen our appreciation for theatre and sparked our own creativity. Our tour guide, Kesha, was phenomenal—friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He took us on an in-depth tour of Manhattan, making sure we saw all the essential sights. We visited the Museum of Modern Art, took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and marveled at the city from the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Plaza. Kesha also led us through iconic locations like Radio City Music Hall, SoHo, and 5th Avenue, sharing fun facts and stories about each spot. His energy and dedication ensured everyone felt engaged and excited. Working with WorldStrides was a pleasure from start to finish. Their team was professional and thorough in all communications, making planning easy and stress-free. They handled everything, allowing us to focus on enjoying the trip and making memories. I highly recommend WorldStrides for any school looking to organize a memorable, educational trip. Their expertise and attention to detail made our New York City experience a true success.

This trip was amazing! I loved every single part of it except for our tour guide named buck. He was quite rude to people and our teacher and really not enjoyable to be around. My teacher who has been on this trip 6 times now with world strides said that usually the tour guides are amazing, but just not Buck. But all in all- trip and world strides 10/10 - Buck 0/10

He had a great time. I heard a lot of great things. It is very tiring going overnight but understood that it a cost saving.

The trip was a great blend of soccer experiences and sightseeing/cultural experiences. Our guide was phenomenal and the bus drivers that assisted our group with transportation were all wonderful. It was a special and memorable trip.

We were so fortunate to have a knowledgeable and engaging guide as well as a bus driver that we could feel comfortable with. They were both extremely flexible, making any changes that were necessary. They made our time in DC very enjoyable.
