jsb111's Full Review: WorldStrides
My daughter's Northern California middle school has a tradition of sending their 8th grade class to Washington DC every spring. It is a great tradition, but seems pricey through WorldStrides. The flights that were booked--Red-eye flights with mid-flight stopovers, the rooms that they stayed in--4 to room, and Food that they eat--FastFood BurgerKing & Macdonalds, seem to me to indicate a either a hefty markup for WorldStrides or poor price negotiation for the flights and lodging. For student groups of 100 or more, I think there is an opportunity to do better.
