Awful Boston guide, Bus driver didn’t know left from right
The guide in Boston made statements of facts in history that were completely wrong, she made multiple statements over 2.5 days like this to a group of Histroy students and history teachers. She and the bus driver had absolutely horrid sense of direction getting lost multiple times costing us hours of additional bus time in 2.5 days. We missed out on attractions on our itinerary because of the extra bis time and when we did get to 2 different stops those were not prepared for our group to arrive so we missed out on what we were supposed to see. We wasted half a day in Boston because the itinerary didn’t schedule things correctly (I.e. Plymouth Rock and John Adams house on seperate days even though we were staying north of Boston), meals at restaurants were not ready for us or when we arrived and multiple meals were not correct to accommodate some kids needs. Those kids missed out on the meal all together because it couldn’t be done in time to eat with the rest of the group, singling out those kids. The bus driver got lost again from Philly to Washington DC, turning a 2:45 drive into a 4 hr drive, because he didn’t review his directions to ensure he could drive on all the roads with his bus. Circling around Baltimore, unprofessional and careless. He did the same thing in Washington DC, arguing which way he could go except this guide ensured that he was incorrect and could travel the route we needed to go to Mt Vernon, passing by a police officer with no issue. Had our guide in DC push for this route then we would have only had 1.5 hr at MT Vernon instead of the 3HRS we had. Our DC guide was very good, our Philly guide was good, our Boston guide was awful. Our hotel floors were to have guards to ensure safety of our traveling kids, one hotel did not and we had such a problem there that police were dispatched and a report filed. Overall this trip was bad enough that I wouldn’t trust a world strides coordinated trip again.
