Why Choose WorldStrides ?

Your Child's Safety & Well-Being

• 24/7 Emergency Support We operate a 24/7 emergency contact line to assist our groups and their families with any issues that may come up. And with 70 operation centres across six continents and representatives in every country we travel to, we’re ready to be there in person when needed.
• Comprehensive Coverage. We offer you a travel insurance plan through TuGo that offers a cash refund, not just credit for a future trip like many other companies provide. If you're based in Ontario, you can also benefit from TICO's Compensation Fund.
• Expert Tour Directors. Every WorldStrides tour is led by an trained, professional WorldStrides Tour Director who lives and works in the destinations our programs visit. They’re fluent in the local languages and customs and watch out for the group. Our operations team maintains regular contact with them to provide up-to-date information on local conditions.

• Fundraising Pages. Every student gets their own fundraising page on WorldStrides.ca. With an average donation of $100, students can easily raise significant funds for their tour.

An Unforgettable Experience

• Experiential Learning. Our hands-on, exploratory approach to learning sparks new passions by encouraging real student engagement. We've built our entire philosophy around one core belief: the best lessons happen outside the classroom.
• Cultural Immersion. At WorldStrides, students don't just visit new cultures; they are an active participant in them. Whether it’s learning classic French culinary techniques in a cooking class in Paris, getting your hands dirty making a charcoal drawing in Italy, or painting a school in Costa Rica, our itineraries go behind the landmarks and uncover the rich subtleties of each destination's long and storied history.
• Fully Inclusive Tours. All WorldStrides tours are fully inclusive, meaning we provide everything you need for a remarkable trip: flights, hotels, meals, transportation, entrance fees to attractions, guided sightseeing tours and more. We believe travellers should be able to experience everything they came to expect, without being faced with additional costs.
