I really liked having a structured tour. That allowed us to get in as possible while leaving room for free time to explore. This was a multi-city tour, so having a packed schedule was what we needed. Our Tour Guide was also wonderful and would adjust the schedule if we had new spots/sights we wanted to see. The only downside was that some of the pre-scheduled food did not work for the picky eaters. Not a problem for me though! I also loved having local tour guides join us at each new city to give us the local perspective and history!

From trip set up with our Account Manager and their team to the actual on-trip experience with our Course Leaders, WorldStrides is world-class in every way.

Not enough time to explore the sites. Leader was nice, just told us too many details that we didn't understand. We wanted to see more but she held us back and then only have a few minutes at the site. Good was ok but at malls there weren't a lot of choices that were open and the lines were long. We only had 15 min. to eat by the time we got our food.

Claire was an excellent guide who was able to deal with various glitches easily (like my difficulty in going up and down the Métro stairs). She was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and just plain fun to be with. When we toured the Mother House of the Daughters of Charity, for which I was the guide, she kept us on schedule and listened to what I had to say as well. It’s obvious that she is always willing to learn more in order to improve her guide abilities. That’s the sign of a genuine professional. If we take this trip again next school year, I hope that Claire is our guide again.

Would not recommend. The provided hotel was forty minutes to an hour away from tourist attractions. Transportation was via metro instead of a tour bus, terrible experience. The tour guide was rude and spent most of her time yelling at minors.

The bus driver named Trey was an exceptional part to the trip, he was fun because of how much life he brought to the bus, and also the monuments that I went to were amazing.

Our guide was amazing! He made the trip. We got to see everything we wanted to. He made things as easy for us as possible.

Hotel OSC was awesome. Itinerary was fluid. Andrew Berman, our substitute CL, was the best I've ever had.

The hotel was comfortable and convenient. Our bus driver Tyrone did an amazing job getting us around the area and the kids adored him. Suzie was an amazing tour guide, her knowledge of the city and the history was invaluable. Nancy was indispensable as our on-site coordinator. Her help in the middle of the night when a student had a health issue was truly appreciated by the chaperones and myself. The only difficulty was with Southwest Airlines, in the future if it is possible I would prefer not to use them. Since that was Southwest and not World Strides, I have no real complaints about World Strides. Lori and Amanda answered all my questions going into the trip and were so helpful and friendly throughout the process. JT did a great job communicating with me when we landed and as left. At no point did I feel like I could not contact World Strides nor did I feel like I would not receive help for any issue that could arise.

It was so fun, me and my friends were having the best time, and all the places we went were so beautiful, and every corner we went, I was amazed by all the sites to see, thank you so much for the amazing experience!!

Kept us busy! There was a lot to do in very little time so it was good because it kept us busy and got to see a lot of things across the Washington, D.C area.

I cannot believe how much we squeezed in! This was incredible and I learned more than my kid and she was yearning for more! The benefit outweighed the cost. Looking forward to more trips for the school!

My son had an awesome time It was a lot to learn and take in but it was worth the time and money I spent. I wish I would’ve been able to do something like this when i was his age.

Our trip to Philly was short but we packed in a lot of history! Everything was taken care of & was so easy, which takes off a lot of stress when touring a new place. Tour guides found us & led us to our bus & we started adventuring. We had the nicest & informative bus driver & tour guides with us, they really are the best. After fun filled Philly, we headed to NYC & everything was perfect! The hotel was great, all the food we had was delicious, & we got to concentrate on all the great sights to see! Wonderful job worldstrides, & thank you for the amazing time, we so enjoyed our time with you!

My son and I had such a great time. We were able to see so much of Washington DC! We have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you.

Our bus driver, Dan was great. He was confident in his ability to get us to Washington DC safely and in a timely manner. Our guide, Abe was very knowledgeable and engaging with the staff and students. His songs were great.

Our group had an incredible trip. We were able to see everything, do everything, and stay everywhere we wanted all within a reasonable price.

This was a great trip to DC I loved it so did the rest of the class

Everything was ready to go as soon as we arrived! Frank was fantastic as were the guides in our buses! Getting around was seamless and everyone was very helpful.

My daughter had a great time on this trip and could not stop talking about all the cool facts that she had learned. I would definitely recommend for any student or adult to go on this trip.
