Green Light Group Tours Reviews

Since I started using Greenlight Group Tours, I've been extremely impressed! Not only are they easy to work with, they take the time to get to know you, your students and your family. They meticulously research and find the best prices, hotels, attractions, transportation and still give you exceptional personal service. The trips I've taken with GLGT have been safe, cost-effective and extremely memorable. Corey, Apryl and Emily treat you like rock stars. I can't say enough good things about Greenlight Group Tours and their crew...they are simply amazing! Do yourself a huge favor: get to know these guys and let them plan a trip for you...it'll be the best experience you've ever had!

We just had our first out-of-state choir trip with Green Light, and couldn't have been happier! Our trip to New Orleans was well organized, and included many fun events. They were also extremely willing to work with the financial constraints that some of my students deal with. I was so impressed!

As a 17 year customer/choir director, the phrase that always comes to mind is "above and beyond". Our choir has been traveling with GLGT even before they were GLGT! I've called directors Apryl and Corey at 6:00 am with questions and chatted at 11:00 pm at night. They always followup to make sure our group is satisfied AND WE ALWAYS ARE. I've heard horror stories about other companies and am always grateful we've remained faithful to Green Light.
In light of everything that's going on, the entire GLGT team is working tirelessly to make sure their customers are satisfied. The world is upside down right now, but GLGT remains true to who they are: a family-owned and operated business, providing the highest quality customer service, planning and execution of student-travel. There is no comparison.
I can't wait for next year's trip with Green Light!

In the middle of the pandemic, when my son s spring trip with his high school s band was cancelled due to travel restrictions and the safety of the children, you would assume that the company would refund those who paid with the cancellation of the trip. However, of course, Greenlight Tours showed their truly self interested motives when they decided to keep an entire months payment worth because they were at the mercy of the vendors . If this were due to something that my son or I could ve prevented, I would understand the lack of full refund, but in the midst of something like the pandemic? This is the best time to steal a fifth of the money I ve paid? When I tried to contact the company, it took hours of talking to person after person who gave me the same robotic answer. This is unprofessional and incredibly insensitive to the shared crisis we all face when money is something that many people can t afford to lose a vast sum of. I m incredibly disappointed in the conduct of this company and will see it to the end that these issues that I m facing are resolved, and hope nobody even comes close to potentially being in this situation.

Green Light always does a good job at making sure EVERYTHING is in order for the trip. They always make sure that I will not have to make ANY decisions during the trip so that I can just enjoy the time with my students. I would definitely recommend Green Light for your school organization's trip.

Do NOT hesitate to use Green Light! This is a smaller company that will take care of your travelers needs. They care about each family and work very hard to create trips with lots of memories. They are extremely flexible and will work with you to get to any destination you choose. This company hires EXCELLENT Group Leaders that are far better than the bigger companies. Here are a few examples of what Green Light has done during a tour...

Last year we had a sick student. She threw up everywhere in NY, including the Subway. Claims she wanted NY to get her DNA. In minutes, we had a Uber and were taken to the hotel to rest. No money needed, no connections or cabs, a comfortable Uber, directly to the hotel.

Two years ago, we sat on the tarmac for 4 hours only to have our flight cancelled at 2 AM. I was panicked as we had 64 kids. Called Green Light and they gave me a credit card number for hotel rooms, dinner and breakfast. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Go with Green Light. You will not be disappointed.

Green Light is the best group travel company in the business. The staff and leadership are always informed, happy, and organized. Their customer service is superior to anything I have experienced in15 years of travelling with groups. They have taken my groups from Texas to places as far as New York and Hawaii and the experience was incredible. Every aspect is planned in detail that I can actually enjoy traveling with large groups (200+) of students and chaperones. As a band director I can spend my time teaching and preparing for rehearsals knowing that Green Light has every detail covered regarding our travel. I will not contact anyone else. I feel like they ve found a secret to the group travel business that no one else knows. Corey and Apryl, the owners, have become celebrities to our parents and students. If you want a first class experience, Green Light is the company to choose.

We have traveled with Green Light to New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington DC. They are, without a doubt, the best tour company I have ever worked with. Their entire staff is professional, prompt, and (most importantly) 100% focussed on customer satisfaction. Small problems can always come up when dealing with group travel, but the Green Light team takes care of EVERYTHING so I can focus on my students. I will never use another tour company!

They helped plan a tour in NYC with 120 choir students and parents. It was awesome!!! The kids had a great time. We did so much!! So the schedule was a little hectic, but it was so much fun! They did a great job of taking care of us every step of the way.

I have used Green Light to plan and organize our band trips for a decade. They continue to deliver a quality package for my students at a reasonable rate. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always flexible. The trips are safe, lots of fun and a staff member is always there to guide you. When choosing a travel company, look no further than Green Light Group Tours!

I had heard about Green Light Tours (GLT) through a colleague who had used them for her high school choir's spring trip and had nothing but great things to say about the company. My friend was absolutely correct! WOW! Did GLT deliver! We recently took our choir and chaperones to New York City and made incredible memories there! We did it all--two Broadway shows, Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, two wonderful performances in two beautiful cathedrals, One World Observatory, Broadway clinic and Q & A with the Lion King cast, shopping in Times Square and 5th Ave, lunch in Little Italy, and much more! Hotel was very nice, safe, and in the heart of Manhattan near everything! Excellent restaurants with delicious meals freshly made for us! Working with Emily in planning our five-day trip was easy and a pleasure! Our tour guides, Erik & Dallas, were OUTSTANDING! They were personable, friendly, professional, highly knowledgeable, positive, and made sure that every aspect of our trip was what we wanted it to be!! Immediately, our group connected with them and they felt like family by the end our trip! Finally, I asked my students and chaperones if they felt they had received their money's worth...all 66 that attended this NY trip answered with a resounding, YES!! Truly, not one complaint!! That says a lot for this wonderful company--Green Light Tours!! No doubt, I look forward to working with them again for our other choir trips!!! BRAVO GTL!!!

I have used Green Light Group Tours since the 2005-06 school year and will never consider using anyone else. The sales people are friendly and professional, and they seem to think of everything before you have time to ask! I find that their advertised prices are less than most other companies, and all of our trips have been all-inclusive. They always have incredible staff to meet you at your location and make sure that everything runs smoothly! Give them a chance!!! You will not be disappointed!

We have used Green Light Group Tours for our group travel with the Midland High School Band for the past 7 years. You will never find a better group travel company. Green Light offers the best service at the best price. If you have ever had a group tour guide, you know that the personality of that person can make or break a trip. The Green Light people understand that and they hand pick their tour guides with that very thought in mind. Green Light Group Tours has many years of experience with a variety of groups to every destination imaginable. They will make sure your trip is safe and fun for everyone involved.

We have used Green Light Tours to travel to Carnegie Hall in New York (2012) and Orchestra Hall and the St Patrick's Day Parade in Chicago (2016). Both of these trips were AMAZING experiences for our kids!! The trips were well organized, activities were fun and educational, performance venues were world class, and the tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and able to solve any problem we encountered along the way. They have my business for life!

I have used Green Light Tours for years and their service is "the best". As a choir director I want to be able to enjoy our trips along with the students and not have to worry about the behind-the-scenes details. Their attention to planning and follow through is great. They are easy to work with and very good about taking care of any last minute changes or emergencies that I might have with my groups. Thank you Green Light!

Green Light is the best student travel company and would highly recommend them for your school/organization trips. Their professionalism and attention to detail are second to none!

You can not ask for anyone better to organize your trip than Helen and her team at Green Light Group Tours. Our youth ministry has used Green Light Tours this year and it was delightful despite the pandemic.

Our guide Jennifer was friendly, entertaining, and a great storyteller. We were very impressed with her knowledge and appreciated how courteous she was to the group by always making sure we were comfortable.

We look forward to many more trips with Green Light in the future.

I have been working with Corey and Apryl at Green Light Tours for 7 years. Every time I have taken a group on tour, the Green Light people have been amazing. I have traveled with other companies, and there is NO comparison! From the time you call and book your trip, the Green Light team takes care of you. They always have the best coaches and the best hotels for my bands. All of the excursions are planned well in advance and they are custom made for your group. I have never worked with better tour guides then the guides that are employed by Green Light. If you are looking for a travel company for your band, school, or student group, don't hesitate to call Green Light!

Get it right, call Green Light!

Fantastic company ran by incredible people! This is the only way to do group travel!!!

We took 65+ people on a trip flying to Indianapolis and this was my first time working with Green Light Group Tours and it was nothing but AMAZING! The expertise and customer service was top notch! Every question was answered and the planning detail was beyond what was expected. We will definitely be working with this company again in the future! If you have a large group and want help traveling, I highly recommend using Green Light Group Tours!

We used Green Light Tours for our school trip to Washington DC. From the beginning to very end, the company and all the people we worked with were amazing. They offered great advice, answered all our questions and heard our concerns while planning the trip. They checked in daily to make sure there was nothing more we needed. When it was time for the trip, we were all so prepared thanks to the wonderful people we worked with planning. Our trip was great and there was absolutely no confusion on what we were doing or chaos. The company had every detailed planned for us and even had back ups just in case. Our tour group manager, Lexie, was beyond amazing. She was with us every step during our trip and did a great job keeping the flow on every event. Her friendly personality and hard work really showed to our group. We will be using Green Light Tours for every trip we plan for our school from now on!! We all highly recommend this company and the amazing people that work there! Thank you all for an unforgettable experience. - Kelly and group

Best group tours, plan an itinerary right for your group and they seek out off the beaten path ideas. Staff is there for you to make your trip the best trip ever. Groups of 25 or more, competitive pricing, value for your $$

We took our band kids to Orlando 3 years ago, and L.A. this last year, and both trips were amazing. The value you get is incredible. Trip setup and planning is a breeze, travel arrangements are straight-forward, and the customer service is amazing. If you have never done a trip you are in a for a treat, because they will walk you through every possible question and step in the process. Once you are at your destination the accommodations are nice, the trip guide is available 100% of the time, and everyone had a blast the entire time. Having the guide waiting for you when you arrive is amazing. They are local, so they know the traffic patterns, where to park, what to do if anyone gets sick, losses stuff, etc. We had a kid lose a wallet on a ride at Disneyland, and she and her husband helped get it back and deliver it to us even when we were on the other side of Los Angeles. The teachers don't have to be in charge of every single detail during the trip, so we could actually relax and have fun and not worry about every detail the whole time. We are so happy with the entire process and experiences we will never use another company in the future. I cannot recommend them enough!

I have been working with this company for over 10 years. They are professional, accommodating, and just plain good people. You can't go wrong. They customize everything to your needs and budget, and make sure you are well cared for!
