Tip of the Month
Consider a Voice Amplifier
Some of the biggest feedback we recieve is that the tour leader was hard to hear when outside at different sites. Consider a voice amplifier. This will help your guests to hear you better and preserve your voice. There are many economical rechargeable options! |

Amber Dusenberry reviewed Scholastica Travel Inc. — 5 star
This was my first year going on the Washington DC trip with our 8th graders and there is not enough praise I can give Scholastica with how great the trip was. Everything was so perfect. Our tours guides were very knowledgable and I cannot wait to continue to work with them on trips to come!
Lauren Parsons reviewed Scholastica Travel Inc. — 5 star
This was the perfect 8th grade trip! We went to Gettysburg on Day 1, and we went to Hershey Park to make our own candy bars and Shanksville to see the Flight 93 Memorial on Day 2. It was a very busy and fun-filled 2 days for our kids and chaperones! Tammy was our travel agent, and she was extremely helpful every step of the way! Lyn was our tour guide, and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Everything about this trip was absolute perfection! We will most definitely use Scholastica for our next school trip! THANK YOU for everything!♥️
