One bus broke down, one bus had no AC. Josh was an awesome tour guide!

One of the buses broke down the other didn’t have ac. They got lost and then had to stop off at a mall and were there for almost four hours. It took almost 15 hours to arrive at our destination. We left at 630am and arrived at 10pm missing the enter first day. The bathrooms on the bus weren’t not cleaned the entire four days and were absolutely unsanitary by the trip home The day of departure they decided to add on the places that were missed the first days causing a two hour delay in arriving home. Made several stops that were almost an hour each time. Our original arrival time should have been 10/1030 we did not arrive back to school until 345 am. We left DC around 2:30 pm again causing a 14 hour return ride on a bus that smelled from a bathroom that was filthy and unusable due to the fact it was not once cleaned the entire trip The tour guide Josh was great but overall a disappointment due to all the delays and poor condition of the buses. The bus was old outdated and uncomfortable which showed considering they were not reliable in providing safe conditions for travel

The trips quality were all good and really decent hotels were also added too. The food we got around the place was awesome and the experience was overall great!

This was a fabulous trip! Our guide, Mike, was so knowledgeable and bonded with the students and parents. Our bus driver, Ricky, also made connections with the students and they were so sad when Rickey had to say goodbye to us in New York. We were able to go to so many memorials, monuments, museums, and sites on this trip. Many memories were made to last a lifetime.

The major issue was our flight home. We changed airlines with a very short window, which means our luggage had to be picked up at baggage, check and rechecked with a new airline that was very stressful. Most of the meals were very good. One exception Café pesto was the worst meal ever we had to pre-select it so it was already done which means it was cold. It was ice cold like it had been in a refrigerator for two weeks. Our guide was great! Nox was very knowledgeable and he was very accommodating to all of our special needs and we had a lot of special needs.

Our tour guide Nate did a fantastic job with logistics, knowing the right age level and timing of when to tell us about each stop. We were able to see so many sites and more. Before we went in to a museum he would tell us what not to bring so security was a fast line and told us what not to miss which is important if you haven’t been to that museum or monument. Best trip to DC ever and my 8th grader had the best time.

Our tour guide, Nate, was absolutely amazing. And our bus driver, Robin, was equally wonderful. Both made our trip such an incredible experience! Nate did a great job of helping to create an incredible itinerary for our trip - making adjustments as needed that helped us get the most out of our trip. He was wonderful with our kids and made this trip so fun. Robin did a wonderful job working with Nate to get us to all of our destinations and took great care of our kiddos and got us everywhere safely. This was an amazing trip that far exceeded my expectations!!!! I loved every second of this trip and am so grateful to Nate and Robin for all of their hard work helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.

The main tour guide was excellent. He did a good job at making a couple of custom changes for our group. I am a tall person and you should be able to request flight seating arrangements/upgrades in advance (comfort +, first class, aisle, window, etc.) rather than hoping there will be space by the time you get your flight information. IBIS hotel was awful; they lied to us, treated us very poorly, and the room was not clean and had flies. Overall it was a well planned trip.

Guides were awesome! Everything was well organized. Can't believe how much we were able to see in just 3 days.

My son was on a recent trip, and my daughter and I had a the chance to go two years ago. It was so incredibly organized and the guides were so knowledgable! I wish they had a tour for adults!

My son absolutely loved this trip, the only reason he didn't rate 5 stars is because he had some sickness that wasted 1 day of it but otherwise he loved it!! I could used a breakdown of what all the money I spent was used for especially since I had to send additional money with him so that was little confusing but I'm so glad he got to experience it!!!

All's well that ends well! We had a weather related travel snafu, but World Strides took care of everything. I would recommend their services!

The bus driver Miguel and tour guide Mike were amazing. The trip itself was also amazing and we were able to see so much. The hotels and restaurant choices were just ok.

Lynsey did an amazing job keeping things moving and sharing interesting facts. She did a great job connecting with the students and worked well with our team to achieve a great result.

Having middle schoolers sitting by themselves in the middle of two people they don’t know on each of their four flights isn’t ideal at all!! Other than this issue my daughter had a fun trip.

What a fabulous experience! First class service. It was an informative and action packed week. Josh our guide was beyond amazing! There was no question he could not answer. He was enthusiastic and fun.

I really liked how Worldstrides covered much ground in giving students a tour through life of old America and through cool experiences that some wouldn't get in other places. The only thing I didn't really feel happy about was the amount of walking without breaks on the first day or two. It was also hard to take good pictures because we were almost always constantly moving quickly to get to the next destination. Other than that, I think it was a great and fun learning trip for kids and our guide was very nice and fun, thank you to him!
