I believe Student Adventures dedicated itself to the “details”. Excellent Tour Consultant, excellent on-board Tour Directors, and top-notch Tour Guides. Security at hotels for students – top-notch. This company is responsive to your needs at all levels of service which is why I picked them over the many companies available. I feel you should get what you pay for.

Communication with billing and the Tour Consultant was outstanding as was responsiveness with concerns. Trip App was awesome! We appreciate “fixing” the misunderstanding with the group photo. We will be using Student Adventures for next year’s Chicago Trip!
