"I used Guardian Travel this last school year because my former agency wasn't keeping up with technology or my needs. The owner reached out to me on Facebook and told me all about Guardian so I took a leap of faith knowing that there were many other companies out there but this one, because it was created by music directors like myself, made me feel like they would truly understand my/my group's needs. They were incredibly professional and reliable through the entire process, always returning calls/emails, and answering any questions I had. They were honest and transparent the entire time.
The trip itself was fantastic and we had an awesome tour guide, Eric, who made things go smoothly and effortlessly. Most of the time I felt like I was on vacation and didn't need to worry about anything, other than my group's performances. There were a couple of hiccups on the trip that Guardian could not have prevented but Eric handled seamlessly.
For all of my future trips, I plan to use Guardian Travel. I've been traveling with groups for over 18 years and this company was my favorite to work with by far. I highly recommend Guardian Travel to any group, and definitely performing groups!" Melissa Cunnington, Choral Director, McLoughlin High School, Milton-Freewater OR.
