Sandy Wolfinger - Grass Lake Middle School
“ I have been traveling with Travel Adventures for 8 years. They taught me everything I needed to know to bring me up to speed and continued to answer questions before I even knew I needed an answer. I really can't imagine traveling with anyone else. As we all do, I get offers several times a year to "beat the price" of my current company, but I just can't imagine replacing the services I receive. ”

Dawn Stark - Everett High School
“ After having taken several student groups on trips arranged by Travel Adventures, I wouldn't do it another way. It allows the sponsor and chaperons to enjoy the students and the experiences. We adults don't spend all of our time worrying about the details, like paying the tabs and ensuring that attractions that we visited were ready for us. We were also able to get a good night sleep, knowing that there was night time security monitoring the rooms. ”

Our trip was highly valuable from an education perspective, and the kids had a great time too.

Travel Adventures gets an A+ in my grade book, and we will be utilizing their services again. ”
Caren Cates - North Harris

Ann Staunton - Job Link
“ Travel Adventures provided 'top-notch' service for our students. They were extremely professional throughout, responding to our trip needs before and during the trip.

Most of my students said they would turn around and go again the next day because they enjoyed themselves so much! I can't wait to book again for next year! Thanks Travel Adventures for a wonderful trip! ”
Jan Alderton - Bridgeport Spaulding Schools
“ If anyone is hesitant about planning an overnight trip for their students, Travel Adventures will erase any fears you have.

“ We had a wonderful trip to the Cincinnati area this year. Taking fifth graders on charter buses is always an experience and the Freedom Center/Aquarium are perfect places for historical info and hands-on learning. Travel Adventures did a wonderful job of tailoring our trip for our needs and supporting us through every detail of the trip. It is also vital to book in advance to ensure you get the dates you want for your trip. The best part about it is that they get everything organized so I can teach. Wonderful! ”
Debbie Truba - Job Link Career Center
“ We would like to thank TA for planning and organizing our college tour. We had an awesome time and really enjoyed the attractions that we visited. Our TC, Bob Keast, was very nice, resourceful and accommodating. The bus driver made sure we were very comfortable with the temperature and bathroom stops. It was nice to know that we were in good hands and being well taken care of in such a special way. Therefore, The JobLink Career Center would highly recommend your services to additional educational programs and facilities and we look forward to working with you in the near future. ”

This years trip was so perfect that I might accuse them of arranging the weather! ”

Kate McElliott - The Holly Theatre
“ This was our second trip with Travel Adventures. Both of our trips were amazing experiences for our kids. I feel comfortable signing up kids as young as elementary aged through to our High School students with Travel Adventures, because I know they will really take care of us! I know that both of our experiences... first the Junior Theater Festival and now the National Performing Arts Festival... created memories that our kids-- and our chaperons and directors... will NEVER forget! They also provided tremendous opportunities for our kids that are planning on going into the performing arts that they could not have gotten, I can safely say, ANYWHERE else! ”
Alyssa Passey - Thomas A. Edison High School

Tracy Carroll - Hoover Middle School
“ Travel Adventures has provided us with excellent service over the past five years. The students this year could not stop telling the adults on the trip how awesome this trip was and how cool every place we went was. Chicago has been a great place to take our 8th grade students and they are still talking about the trip when they are seniors! ”
Luann Stuible - Waverly Middle School
“ Taking into consideration the multitude of teaching experiences I have embraced throughout the past 34 years, student travel is the best possible avenue to make those personal connections with my students that open their hearts and minds to education. Real-life, hands-on experiences help to create the connections that deepen and strengthen student learning – both academically and personally. Travel Adventures is definitely the most thorough and conscientious travel company I have encountered and I will continue to plan student travel with this company in the future. ”

Garbriela Bernatowicz - Wyoming Park High School
“ I would absolutely recommend this trip [Fiesta Latina] to any teacher looking to enrich their Spanish class curriculum. The trip is very well planned out from beginning to end and it includes a variety of cultural experiences that you cannot possibly bring in the classroom. The tour director and nighttime security guard bring absolute peace of mind in knowing that every detail is taken care of so that teachers themselves can enjoy the trip as much as the students do! ”
Lee Morrison - New World School of The Arts
“ I highly recommend Travel Adventures. Throughout the process, Travel Adventures was flexible in planning, open to new thoughts/ideas, and professional in all dealings.
