Teacher FAM Tour In Boston, June 2025

We had a wonderful tour with Wolfe Adventures. Taunya and her team are knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. Their enthusiasm and love for the Boston area made the trip fun and interesting. I’ve used a different tour company and was satisfied, but Wolfe tailored our tour to meet our ideas and needs as we travel with students. From the moment they picked us up from the airport, we were expertly taken care of. As a high school history teacher, I was introduced to a “menu” of possibilities that will not simply entertain but assist students to gain greater insights about how and why our country developed in the way it has. I can’t wait to do it again.

Student Tour In Boston, May 2025

I think the first thing that should be said is that this trip is amazing and very impactful in many different ways. I am all for this trip and all for students experiencing a small portion of what life is like in another city as well as seeing in person what they have been learning about all year. As for our tour guides and bus driver… not enough words can describe the genuine care and whole heartiness the Wolfe team showed. Professionals in their line of work and upstanding human beings outside of work. Nothing but love for this team and the trust of getting to different sites safely, as well as going above and beyond for students, was undoubtedly another reason as to why this trip is so amazing. Love this trip and everyone that was involved. Blessed and honored to have been apart of it!

Students In DC, June 2024

Wolfe Adventures & Tours is a fantastic tour company. After traveling with other tour operators for for 13 years  we utilized Wolfe this travel season. From a preplanning and planning perspective, Wolfe Adventures & Tours provided timely, personal, and exceptionally high quality service. We were able to completely customize our tour and make minor and major changes as needed. Taunya, Erin, and the staff were extremely responsive and we never waited more than 24 hours for a response. Often times, our responses would come within minutes.

On tour, our Tour Directors were knowledgeable, vibrant, and professional. Our students were left with lasting memories and a thirst to visit this city and others to uncover the history and beauty of each location. We were so satisfied with Wolfe Adventures and Tours that we began preplanning next years trips while still on tour this year! We have developed a respectful and passionate partnership with Wolfe Adventures and Tours and we hope to travel with them for years to come!

If you are searching for a student travel company, take the time to connect with Taunya and Wolfe Adventures and Tours. You will be glad you did!
