WorldStrides - World Strides Cost increase
I recently enrolled my daughter in a D.C. Trip taking place in June 2016. 3 weeks after having the trip fully paid for I receive a notice that "Due to students dropping out of the trip there will an additional fee of $159 to compensate for lack of participation". I have already paid nearly $600 for this 4 day trip. This is really begining to become a scam!
I have never reviewed a product but a company that is endorsed by a school system then delivers this kind of performance needs discussed.
Do Not become involved with World Strides.
Reason of review: Pricing issue.
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered.
WorldStrides Cons: Advertise a price, When paid in full they add additional fee.
Location: Pulaski County, Kentucky

I was too charged this fee. We are a small school.
World Strides knew in June 2016 that we were a class of 11. NO one dropped out, so not sure how the fee came about...even if it is in the terms and conditions.
Agree that this whole company is a scam. The folks commenting on this post are likely World Strides representatives trying to make the OP look dumb.
Also note all of the sites in DC are free. There is no cost to visit most of the places WorldStrides sends the kids to. These people are a joke, a poorly run company, that overcharge for their tours.
If you listen at the meeting prior to signing up, the represenative clearly states that this is possible but unlikely.
It also states it in the information you are SUPPOSED TO READ and sign at the beginning of enrollment. ;)
