It was a once in a lifetime experience getting to visit Washington DC with all of my friends.

Honestly, winning a big award for the first time after facing obstacles feels almost unreal—like everything you pushed through suddenly clicks into place at once. There’s a rush of pride, but it’s deeper than that; it’s relief, validation, and a quiet realization that all the doubt, setbacks, and hard days actually meant something. In that moment, you’re not just celebrating the win—you’re remembering every time it almost didn’t happen, which makes it hit even harder. It feels earned, not given, and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

The companionship created between chaperones and guides was unmistakably magical. I really love Jason and our bus driver, John. They were both absolutely amazing for our trip in DC. Although our guide wasn't as kind in New York, it was still such a magical moment. I wouldn't have changed any of it, maybe a little more sleep and down time for the chaperones but other than that it was absolutely magical. Thank you

It was very organized and all the experiences were fantastic!

It was extremely clear and organized during the trip making it easy for a large group to manage! Going through Disney land was easy as well as renting instruments and preforming!

Great experience, be prepared for extensive walking but well worth the trip !

The trip was AWESOME!! But we could have been informed if we wanted to travel to NEW YORK CITY as well.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. When Lufthansa went on strike, instead of being proactive and securing alternate arrangements, WorldStrides waited until the day of departure to inform us that the flights were canceled.

After several hours, we were told the kids had been rebooked—but split into three separate groups with only one chaperone per group. When they arrived at the airport around noon, two of the three groups were told they weren’t actually on any flights. Apparently, the rebooking was never properly completed in the system.

The students have now been stuck at the airport for nine hours, waiting for either a flight or a hotel, with no clear communication or plan from WorldStrides. This level of disorganization and lack of accountability is completely unacceptable

I had a great time exploring NYC with students and my colleague, and they cherished the opportunity to perform in such a distinctive location.

Our tour guide Adam was the best! He was very informative and great at getting the students involved.

The kids were safe & they had so much fun and learned so much !

When people from diverse backgrounds can meet together for a purpose and all the different places we visited!!

Nice bus and guide

I got to be with all of my closest friends and make new ones during the trip! I loved seeing Spamalot in the Pantages Theater. The building was just so beautiful and it was so much fun watching the show. Also, during the awards ceremony I did not expect to receive the Heistro award! I am so blessed to be able to be recognized for my love for music and singing! It was just so genuinely incredible.

We toured with another school so our group of 25 became 57. Timelines were kept so our tour went smoothly. Lots of walking and we had a very fast paced guide. We loved our guide and bus driver. Our hotel hospitality ladies were awesome. Things went smoothly and we really enjoyed our time there.

Great trip. I hope to go on another WorldStrides trip soon!

It was nice not having to plan anything. I loved getting to know the other parents and kids. We had an amazing experience. Thank you!

My experience was great thanks to the supportive people in my group and i loved getting to know them.

The trip was amazing and we all had fun in universal studios!
