Everything about our senior trip was fantastic. The staff at Four Winds were very helpful in securing a safe, affordable, and fun-filled trip for our seniors. Four Winds communicated any and all aspects during the entirety. From initial trip proposals to our final destination, Fourwinds was supportive, helpful, and informative.  

The driver of our bus was very helpful and the bus itself was immaculate. Four Winds booked our group at a hotel near our Hershey Park visit, which allowed for more time at the park. The hotel staff and security staff we all attentive and made the work less stressful …

I am writing to express my sincere thanks for your professionalism, accessibility and willingness
to problem-solve. As you know, we were scheduled to participate in our biannual music trip in
May of 2020. Little did we know that we would be dealing with a pandemic when we began our
planning! There is no question that we have been through challenging and unprecedented
times as a result. But, through it all, I have found Four Winds to be always accessible and hard
working to find a solution that is best for all concerned! It is clear to me that Four Wind’s …

The seventh grade trip to Philadelphia was a wonderful experience for all of our students. While at the Franklin Institute, the students were able to tour the museum and visit those sites that interested them the most, sites that provided them with opportunities for hands-on learning. At the Constitution Center, students viewed the dramatic presentation of "Freedom Rising", which chronicled our move toward independence and the creation of our form of government under the United States Constitution. The final stops for the students were a walk down the street to view The Liberty Bell, a world-wide symbol of freedom, a …

- LaTasha Solomon, Spingarn Senior High School, Washington D.C, April 2009

The seniors that went on the Boston had such a great trip. The timing of the bus was perfect. Kevin was a personable and safe driver. We left the school on time and made it to the first Boston drop off on schedule. The ride was quick that to the availability of a DVD player on the bus. Wandering around Quincy market was just what they wanted. Did you also arrange for the perfect weather? The dinner cruise was far better than I expected. The Spirit of Boston was a beautiful ship and the meal was to die for. Sometimes …

- Martha Thomson & Kathy VanOrman, Mount Everett Regional School, Massachusetts, Senior Trip, June 2009

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for providing a remarkable experience for the Wantagh High School Band on our tour of Madrid and Segovia, Spain. The day tours of Toledo, Madrid and Segovia were breathtaking. Each and every meal was excellent, and we appreciated the choice of Spanish and American foods in the hotels and restaurants. The hotel Ayre Colon was magnificent, luxurious, and modern, as well as impeccably clean. Our tour guides were wonderfully warm, compassionate, interesting, friendly people, and experts on the history of the land and the people. The Wantagh students …

- Mindy Dragovich, Wantagh High School Band, Spain Tour, March 2010

The trip was fantastic: Mark was wonderful; the accommodations in Stratford were beautiful; food was plentiful and tasteful; the plays were excellent and the 'extras' were so much fun. Riding bicycles in the park, learning everything about Shakespeare, cruising on the Thames, visiting important sites: they all worked! Succinctly put - the trip worked wonderfully and showed the true hand of a professional in all its details. Thank you.

- Joe Greenwald, Champlain Valley High School, England Tour, July 2011

Four Winds Tours has helped Bishop Brady High School organize our Habitat trip for the last five years. We have been to Louisiana, Miami, and for the past four years have taken 48 students and 8 chaperones to Almost Heaven in Franklin West Virginia. The group works together building community by building a community. Four Winds is wonderful to work with. When I talk to Amina or Shonda I don't have to worry and the trip will be great. Working for Habitat for Humanity is so rewarding. Four Winds Tours helps make the planning easy.

- Susan Seagroves, Bishop Brady High School, New Hampshire, February 2013

I recently took my high school orchestra to New York City on a trip planned by Four Winds Tours and Travel.  I cannot say enough good things about the high quality of our itinerary, the care taken to make sure we had everything we needed, and the dedication of the Four Winds staff to ensure that our trip was one to remember.  The trip was a huge success.  Thanks Four Winds for helping us make memories that will last a lifetime!!!

I cannot thank you enough for the professional, yet personal, touch that you have put on our choral trips these past 12 years. I still remember how it all started...

I want to thank you for working with me to arrange a great trip for our seniors. Everything went smoothly, and a wonderful time was had by all. Even rearranging activities due to inclement weather was taken care of easily. Our bus driver was fantastic, too -very personable and accommodating.

I am especially thankful that you were willing to work with me to create a second trip after all the …

- Eleanor Thomas & Carolyn Delaney, Thousand Island Central School, New York, May 2013

We could not have chosen a better partner for our school, 2014, music trip to New Orleans. The level of personalized service was the best we ever had for a trip. Each Fourwinds representative who took part in our trip planning was kind, attentive, informed, and accommodating. We knew that immediate assistance was never more than a phone call away. Fourwinds was most helpful with building a perfect itinerary for us to reach our trip goals. Their experience and expert knowledge helped to make our travel as smooth and efficient as possible. We will be returning to New Orleans this …

I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and the entire staff at Four Winds. Our trip yesterday was a huge success. We had a great time, and our students really enjoyed the experience. The entire day ran like clockwork, and that's a testament to your company's thorough planning. Our driver, Andre Waterman, was prompt and provided helpful guidance on loading and unloading in the city. We actually pulled into the school parking lot at 6:30 pm on the dot. 

While the entire day was great, (the folks at Hard Rock Cafe were impressively efficient, and the …

They all had such wonderful things to say about the entire process. :)

Four Winds Tours organized an excursion for my 21 high school students in Belgium. The tour was flawless! We were met promptly by tour guides and bus drivers everyday and the tour was organized exactly as I requested. We got to see the major sights of Brussels, Belgium, get a walking tour of the city, and the highlight of our trip was the tour of the chocolate factory. My students will forever have a wonderful memory of this trip. Our hotel was right in the center of the city and everything, including the restaurants where we ate, were within walking …

- Anya Rochester, Bristol Central High School, Trip to Brussels, Belgium, April 2015

I found Four Winds Tours by just doing a simple google search of educational tours in Nova Scotia. They were efficient and made sure to tailor every aspect of the tour to my specific needs. As a historian of the African American experience, I was taking my students on a trip that learned about the Black Loyalists in Nova Scotia. But after talking with Veena and Max at Four Winds, my trip became so much more.  They scheduled a trip to the Black Cultural Center and Africville. It was also important that the food reflected our trip.  And so included …

I have been Director of Bands at Passaic Valley for 10 years and for 8 of those years I have worked with Four Winds Tours and Travels. We have truly built a great relationship that has improved year after year. They are extremely professional yet are very easy to talk to and work with.

Over the past years we have traveled with them to music performances in places such as Washington DC, Virginia Beach, Boston, Toronta and Orlando. In the past we …

My students and their parents could not stop telling me what a wonderful trip it was and what a wonderful time they had!

My students' parents also made it a point to tell me that whenever they reached out to your company, they felt as if the responses were very timely and effective. They were very impressed …

- Madame (Catherine) Pullion, Mt Laurel Hartford School, Canada, August 2017

I loved working with Harmeet in planning our trip to NYC! She was helpful, positive, responsive, and friendly. Harmeet worked thoughtfully with me to help craft an experience that matched our needs and was flexible as new or unanticipated needs arose. The materials provided to me helped me lead the trip with clarity once we were in the city. I so appreciated that Harmeet was available throughout the whole trip by phone and text to help us navigate issues as they arose.

We recently travelled to New Mexico, and had a flawless trip, with excellent accommodations. This trip marked the 13th in the long list of trips booked with Four Winds since 1995. There's a reason why we only travel with Four Winds. If there is an unexpected problem, they are waiting at the ready to solve it. Every aspect of the tour is top shelf and cutting-edge. We are proud to be part of the Four Winds family and would never bid a trip with any other company!

- Mindy Dragovich, Director of Bands, Wantagh High School, Wantagh High School, March 2018

Our school's trip to NYC with our Performing and Visual Arts Academy students was nothing less than the trip of their lives.

Highly recommend!

- Mrs. Sarah Lorek, Director of Choirs, Chopticon High School, NYC, March 2018

We just got back from our trip to Virginia and it was absolutely perfect. FourWinds planned a wonderful trip for us and everything that was planned went smoothly.

I will definitely be using FourWinds for any trip we take in the future.

- James Thomas, Fine Arts Department Chair PK-12, Scituate Public Schools, Walt Disney World,, April 2018

Our Music and Art departments just recently completed a combined trip to Montreal. What an amazing experience for all involved. Four Winds was very flexible, creative and very knowledgeable in preparing our trip. We had a very large number of people that needed to be coordinated around the city at the same time and it was executed perfectly. From the hotel choice and location, to the restaurants and eating experiences, to the local attractions and landmarks that were suggested for us to go were perfect. In depth workshops were arranged for us through the University of McGill and they were …

The trip was AWESOME! First, I’d like to say that our bus driver was the BEST. She moved around that city like a pro and got us everywhere we needed to be on schedule. Every event went off without a hitch and the kids loved it. The hotel was good, not too far from the city, reasonable rooms and the fridges were a big help. Our favorite tour was Madison Square Garden with Wall Street coming in a close second. Our favorite meal was La Mela (both food and service were outstanding). This is the best field trip we’ve taken. …
