Every detail of our trip is planned out well in advance of our tour. The tour guides know the area and not only make sure students are safe and well cared for, but educate them along the way. The Student Adventures Team is amazing. The thing I am most amazed with is their ability to manage the unexpected such that nobody even knows that something isn’t going as initially planned. I will never consider a different student travel company

My child went to D.C. for a school trip. I felt nervous at first letting her go without me but with the security Student Adventures provides and a detailed itinerary I felt more comfortable.

According to my 8th grader who just returned from DC his trip was excellent, besides the food! He complimented the bus drivers, tour guides, itinerary and hotel. I appreciated the user friendly ap and excellent communication. I asked him if he felt the experience was worth the money we spent, he replied “absolutely, probably worth more actually…” I would definitely trust and recommend Student Adventures with my child on future trips.

What a wonderful tour company to work with. They are organized and will have your trip planned out from A-Z. I also like how flexible they are when plans need to change. We got assigned Brady as our tour guide. Would recommend him 10 out of 10.
