    The motel they chose to bring us to

    This was, without exaggeration, one of the most poorly run trips I've ever experienced. WorldStrides took something that should've been exciting and managed to make it frustrating, exhausting, and honestly a huge disappointment. From the start, it felt completely disorganized. The schedule was constantly changing, plans got shuffled around with little to no explanation, and we were left standing around way too often with no idea what was happening. It didn't feel like anyone was actually in control. Communication was terrible. Questions either went unanswered or got vague responses that didn't help at all. It felt like we were expected to just deal with whatever was happening, even when things clearly weren't going right. The accommodations were a major letdown--crowded, not very clean, and nowhere close to what was promised. Meals were rushed and low quality, and there wasn't nearly enough time to relax or even enjoy anything. It felt like everything was done as cheaply and quickly as possible. What made it worse was the constant stress. Instead of having fun or learning anything meaningful, it felt like we were just dealing with problem after problem. For something that costs this much, the lack of organization and care is honestly shocking. Overall, it felt like a complete waste of time and money. I wouldn't recommend WorldStrides to anyone unless they're okay with a disorganized and frustrating experience.

    More concerned about making a profit than taking care of their employees. You are pressured to work long hours to meet their demands.

    I would recommend schools consider another company. Please do your research…read more My child suffered a concussion right before the class trip to D.C. I did not pay for the trip insurance and did not expect a full refund. However, since I had medical records from the doctor and I notified them before the group departed, I expected I could at least get a flight credit, one way or round trip. The trip cost several thousand dollars. They would not budge. Zero credits--Zero help--Zero customer service. Keep this in mind. They pocketed all of it.

They poorly planned a "Smoky Mountains" trip for our middle schoolers and were unprepared to meet the flight delays/cancellations that resulted when our kids were forced to connect in Dallas. Kids, parents and teachers had no support from Grand Classroom staff and the "emergency" number was operated by a husband/wife team who were unable and unwilling to help find a solution to get our kids to safety. Kids were forced to sleep on the airport floor and there was no backup plan to get them fed or provide safe or adequate accommodations during the travel delays. Do not use this company! If your school or program is contracted with them for your school-based trip, you should definitely reconsider sending your child.

    Very sorry for the experience of the previous reviewer. I have not gone to this location personally…read morebut was in contact with the associate, Steve. I recently purchased a membership and did not apply the promotion at that time correctly. He was able to escalate the issue to upper management (about a 1-2 week process) and he remembered to give me a callback. I have since then promptly received my refund. Other associates I have spoken to were not nearly as helpful as Steve (if this were a general review of AAA, I would give them 2-stars). That said, I do not know if I got lucky with my situation or if this quality of service is consistent. Either way, I can vouch for and wholeheartedly recommend working with Steve because of his polite and positive demeanor. Thank you.

She even called the restaurant to make sure it would be open on January 1 and sent me an email about that. She was very knowledgeable about the many alternative routes and I ended up with a route that is clearly the best for my particular starting point and destination. I hope she will be there again the next time I want to plan a trip. Jim C.

    Girls trip -we did the Crozet tour and went to King , Hazy Mtn, Veritas and Flying fox wineries…read more We enjoyed the first 3 stop especially the Stunning view at Hazy but had a hard time choosing the 4th stop as we felt that none of the choices were great. We had an hour at each stop which was ok but would have liked a little more time. Probably would have been better to have more time at the first 3 and eliminate the 4th one. We did the 151 tour previously and the choices were better imo but the drive to get there was longer. they do not assist with reservations at the wineries so you are on your own with that and there is no estimated time frame provided as to when you may be at each stop so making a reservation is pretty difficult. Wineries super busy in the fall so reservations are helpful but not necessary. Bus was super bumpy and curvy winding roads so if you are prone to car sickness you may wish to reconsider. Other than that we had a good time. Snacks (chips) and water provided. No live music at any of the wineries which was suprising.

    We had a great time with Cville Hop on Tours! It was so nice that they picked us up at our hotel…read morefor round trip service. The wineries were about a 30 min drive from the downtown area so I'm thankful we had a DD! You get to plan your own itinerary.
