My sons have been on a few school trips, and this was their favorite. It was well organized. Appleseed was able to to be flexible and easily make reasonable schedule changes for the weather. My son had a great time! The hotel was nice. The price was reasonable. The guides gave the right amount of educational info without boring the kids. I would definitely travel with Appleseed again.
