Reviews
Rebecca X reviewed Scholastica Travel Inc. — 5 star
Scholastica is such a wonderful family-owned, company which I'd highly recommend for any group or school considering traveling with them! I've worked with them for over 6 years and everyone I've encountered has been very competent and also very kind. Their trips are organized and smooth. I also like the feeling of supporting a small business as opposed to going with one of the big guys. You won't find a more genuine group of people that are also as well-informed as these folks anywhere!
