    I know that there has been discussion on this board about the best NYC tours. I cannot seem to find it. I am looking for some information on the best tours for high school groups. 

    Thanks in advance!

    I used School Tours of America this past spring and was impressed with their overwhelming attention to detail while maintaining flexibility to adapt to my groups specific needs. Feel free to contact me for specifics and contact info at STA.

    I use EF Tours America.  They are really good at what they do.  They are reasonable when it comes to price and offer some really good packages.  You should give the a call.  They are really friendly and will work with you.  We are going to New York this coming summer with them again.

    I dislike EF Tours. I had a very bad experience with them. I have heard that for European trips they are fine.

    I use Travel Passports. http://www.bucketlisttrips.citymax.com/index.html

    I am using them for our Spring Break trip to NYC and they were able to get Hamilton tickets!

    Travel Passports are great, I've used them a couple of times..  I used Worldstrides last year for ours and they were easy to work with as well.   I'm working with Dragaud Sojourns and setting up a tour right now for summer of 2018.

    Hi!

    This will be the first year I am taking my theatre group to NYC and I'm going through Educational Performance Tours. I don't have much insight yet, but so far the process has been pretty streamlined. Check it out for yourself!
