The trip was well planned with strong communication leading up and throughout the travel time. My student had fun, learned more about being independent, and had all needs met while away. Came back happy and tired!

The bus broke down multiple times. The girls bus the toilet didn’t work. We were very rushed. The air broke on the boys bus multiple times.

Thank you for writing your review Talon, sorry about the bus breaking down on us. We will continue to work with our partners in the bus industry to do what we can to prevent future break downs. Also sorry you felt rushed on the trip, we try to balance attention spans of middle school students with quality time at each location. We will continue to work on finding just the right balance.

Recently we traveled with Glen on a whirlwind tour of various historical sites out east. It was all fabulously organized with all the details covered. I felt 100% comfortable with our bus driver. How stress free to not have to drive in some of these highly congested cities. Everything we wanted was included. So, one warning to the wise, plan at least one night midweek to arrive back to the hotel early. You'll be glad for the extra rest

Glen did an amazing job directing our group while we traveled. He has an upbeat atritude and listened to any concerns that we had. The trip itself was so interesting... my 8, 15, and 17 year old kids never had a complaint. If we travel again, we will be giving Glen a call!
