I just want you to know that we had a wonderful time on our trip. Everything that your company provided was exceptional. We, the kids and the adults, loved Vincent. He was such a positive, optimistic young man and he truly made our experience memorable. The activities were well planned, interesting and most of all, just plain fun! The meals and restaurants were varied and delicious. The adults really appreciated the security guard at night and it made our life much easier. The coach was comfortable and we really enjoyed our time with our driver, Michel. Everything was top notch. I will definitely suggest your company to other teachers who are planning a trip toQuebec.
Also, it was easy to prepare for the trip with all of you online aid. I appreciated that as well.
So, to sum up, IT WAS AWESOME - WATATATOW!!!!!
Merci bien pour tous!

“I wouldn’t travel with any other company. Jumpstreet makes traveling and learning fun for students and teachers alike. Looking back, our trip participants say that the Quebec trip was the best part of their middle school experience.”
Shaun Liebskind, LebanonMS, CT (2008)
“We had the most positive experience imaginable. All aspects of the trip were top notch. I felt that all of the activities were steeped in la culture Quebecoise and they were amusant”.

“This was a trip that will never be forgotten by our students. It was truly wonderful—a great cultural experience!”
Marisue Shulling & Ambrosia Bertenshaw, teacher, ME (2008)
“The selection of activities on the itinerary is a great combination of educational and entertaining. The kids are well entertained and are learning without even realizing it. The trip is rich in language, culture, history and the most beautiful architecture most have ever seen. If that wasn’t enough it is all delivered by a highly qualified team of professionals, ranging from the people who helped organize the trip before hand to the people who guided us through it.”

“Jumpstreet puts so much into a tour - the kids actually thank me at the end of each day for all of the fun they've had. And they're learning at the same time - using French, trying new food, finding out that winter is something to embrace instead of to fear, learning to find their own way around. It's wonderful, as a teacher, to see your students grab on to something and go with it - that's why we do this, isn't it?”

“Jumpstreet has done it again. We just returned from a 4-day Quebec Carnival trip that was the best I have ever taken in my 33 years of teaching. They know how to put together a trip that kids will love. There is always a mix of culture, physical activity, activities that are pure fun and free time. When I used to put together trips myself that’s what I tried to blend. But know Jumpstreet does it all for me. And their guides are the best-young, hip, very knowledgeable and fun!”
Deborah Roberts, teacher, MA (2008)
“Teachers who want a real, very authentic New York Latino experience would love this trip. Spanish was often incorporated by the tour leader and the teachers. Everything felt authentic, not just for tourists. Kids got to see parts of NY they usually don’t see – El Barrio and the Bronx – and realize that those parts are OK, too, that people live there, and that they can walk around and be comfortable. I highly recommend the trip and, of course, Jumpstreet! The feedback I have gotten back from parents and students has also been really wonderful. It was a unique experience for everyone. Thank you!”

“Juggling 2 itineraries in one trip and combining 2 groups was certainly a feat but Jumpstreet certainly rose to the occasion!”

“What would life be without my annual Jumpstreet?!? Sometimes I forget that Jumpstreet is running many tours in many cities at the same time---the personalized service makes me feel like I am their only tour! I would never dream of travelling with anyone else! I look forward to this trip every year!”
Jennie Lynn Weir Cook, teacher, NH (2008)
“Jumpstreet is the best tour company in the business, no exception. I look forward to their European destinations, as does the administration. We all have absolute confidence in the Jumpstreet people!”

"A little crazy flying back into the routine of teaching all day and grad school last night!
It was absolutely superlative, the best. Flawless from start to finish. I have a 10 page final paper in French-African sociolinguistics to write, and then I’ll write up everything in expansive effusive detail. But the basics: Alvin Whitfield very professional, kind, accommodating. Elisabeth is bubbly adorable with the wisdom and maturity and responsibility of a middle-aged matron! The program was perfect and with such attention to cultural authenticity. I had students ranging from 13 to 18, and every student was engaged and happy in every activity. This is the first trip ever during which I could relax and get a full night’s sleep (thank you, security people). We’re already beginning to plan for next year.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!"

“No one could do the fabulous activities that we did, eat the fantastic food that we ate, travel and stay in the most wonderful places like we did at the price that we paid!!! Traveling with a tour company like Jumpstreet is the best way to travel!(…) Jumpstreet is the best! Don’t try to see Canada any other way!!!! Let Jumpstreet take care of the work for you so that you and your students can just learn and enjoy!”

“Trip of a lifetime and a pleasant cap to end Jr. High Years”

“The students came back so excited by this trip. Some said that it was the best trip that they had ever been on. […]It was just amazing. And they were thrilled that they were able to use their French. […] Jumpstreet is an amazing tour company. You are a class act. You take care of every detail. You treat us well and make us feel valued. This is my second trip with you, and I never feel that I am dealing with an impersonal tour company, but rather trusted friends who truly want us to enjoy their corner of the world. “

“We were very impressed that Jumpstreet was able to completely revamp our itinerary in a matter of hours due to our one day delay in departure. Jumpstreet has always said that safety is their first priority and they proved it. (…) Having recently completed Jumpstreet’s Grand Slam (four successful trips), Stonepark continues to be extremely satisfied with the service and product offered by Jumpstreet. They make planning a trip with them effortless as their planner did most of the work for us. Of course, when needed, Jumpstreet HQ were there to help. Our guides, Antoni and Pam, were engaging, entertaining, and caring, always ensuring our expectations were met. Our activities were once in a lifetime opportunities for students and will never be forgotten.
Sean Flanagan, teacher, PE (2008)
“What a fabulous company to work with from start to finish. Great activities, smooth delivery, kids had a blast (& adults could sleep well with the added bonus of night time security guard). In the 4 trips I’ve made with Jumpstreet, I haven’t a single complaint. It just gets better."

“It is wonderful how Jumpstreet can be reached by e-mail or phone whenever a question came up. This is my first time using a tour company and I really appreciate the amount of time Aaron spent with me organizing the itinerary to fit our group’s needs. They loved the experience and the chance to challenge themselves and get outside their comfort zone by trying new things!”

“This is my third trip and every time, it has been a trip of a lifetime. Many of my students and parents have referred to this trip as “a life changing experience”

I loved the trip to Quebec City I just went on! It was the most amazing trips I've ever had!! Our tour leader was Antoni (aka-Sancho) He made everything soo much fun. It wouldn't have been that much fun without him. If you talk to him anytime soon, tell him that us Lance kids back in Wiscondin miss him and love him soo much! I had a great time in Qubec and I want to go back another time, hopefully soon! Thank you Jumpstreet for being amazing, and for having such a great tour guide! Merci beaucoup!
