“We just wrapped up an incredible weeklong trip to New York with Note-Able, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the initial launch to the consistent communication throughout the year as payments were collected, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The thoughtful send-off, warm airport welcome, and top-tier guides added a personal touch that made all the difference. Excellent value, outstanding service, and truly wonderful people—Note-Able exceeded our expectations at every turn. I highly recommend them!”

“We had a great time in New York. From the minute the Note-Able Travel met us at the airport until they dropped us back off to fly home, we had an amazing experience. Our tour guide, Gary, was exceptional. The students and adults enjoyed his knowledge and expertise regarding New York.”
“The Clark Choir has a great time on this trip! Everything was well thought out, and it ran so smoothly. Our tour guide in NYC, Gary, was great with the students and was very knowledgeable. Ariel helped a lot with logistics while we were in NYC. I would definitely recommend this company; everything was great!”
“We had a great experience! One of the most organized and smoothest trip I have ever taken my group on! They were extremely helpful every step of the way. Quick to respond and did everything they could to ensure every aspect of the trip was planned out. No stress trip! Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful experience with Note-Able. Their staff was friendly, helpful, prompt and easy to work with. It is no easy task moving over one hundred band kids from A to B but I appreciate how the Note-able team was only one call away to answer our questions. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness they displayed by holding a surprise birthday celebration for our students who were celebrating their birthdays away from family during the trip. I personally know that both birthday kids were very touched and thankful for Note-able’s generosity. Looking forward to hopefully using them again if we take another band trip in the future!”
“Thank you, Note-Able Travel Experiences, for an exceptional trip! Our band had an amazing time in Orlando. Everything was everything well-planned and organized. I especially appreciate the assistance we were given when inclement weather threatened our return. Note-Able Travel was at the ready to provide contingency plans and ensured our travelers got home safely. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“This trip was masterfully planned! It was evident that a lot of thought and care went into every nook and cranny of this trip. Our trip agent, Jessica, was with us at every turn. Taking 50 people to Florida would usually prove to be a daunting task, but with the Noteable Travel team, the entire experience was a breeze and absolutely stress free. I can’t believe how EASY everything was! We will absolutely be traveling with Noteable forever!”
“The customer service, accommodations, and clear communication with the staff and parents is exceptional. Our 2024 NYC trip with nearly 100 guests was simply a breeze to coordinate. We will be a returning customer!”
“Our trip was fantastic. It was very organized and our tour guides treated our students and adults like family. A big shout out to Gary, Jerry and Ariel. They were outstanding at guiding us around the city. Jerry helped as at the airport. Gary was the lead guide most of the time and his passion and knowledge of New York City really excited all of us as we visited each important site. Ariel assisted us on the streets getting us through crowded areas all together. Again, we had a very good experience!”
“We had a great time on the trip! Everything was ready and easy. It made the trip run smoothly and efficiently without hiccups along the way.”
“We had four schools on this trip! We went to Dallas, TX, and every step of the way was covered! Hands down the best travel company!”
“This was my third time to visit NYC with my students and it was, without a doubt, the best experience yet! The students and parents had a wonderful time! Thank you for a wonderful experience!”
“Our High School Band just completed their 5-day trip to Florida (Disney & Universal Studios) over Spring Break! The company was very easy to communicate with and work with! It was my first time flying with a group, and they helped make the trip go as smoothly as possible! I highly recommend them!

“We had an amazing time! From the moment we arrived at the airport to depart until we arrived at the airport to come back, there was a representative there every step of the way. They made traveling with a group very easy! We will definitely be using them again!”

“The Kloepfer Family Foundation Scholars had a wonderful time in San Antonio, TX. Note-Able travel staff were excellent host and treated our kids with great enthusiasm at the airport. Note-Able staff also took care of every detail of the trip and worked well with myself and other chaperons. I would recommend using Note-Able for your traveling experience and looking forward to using them again in the future.”

“Just wrapped up a GREAT Disney trip with the Hays Band in Orlando! All of this made possible due to Robert Rubio and his team of experts with Note-Able Travel Experiences. Wonderful hospitality, organization, fantastic hotel accommodations and super friendly staff!! Can not say enough positives about our experience through this team. If you haven’t done so yet, choose Note-Able for your next travel experience!!”.
“Overall, the trip went very smoothly and despite the crazy heat at Six Flags, from what I could tell, everyone had a great time! We sincerely appreciate everyone at Note-Able Travel, and especially [the staff] there in Dallas to help make this a fun experience for our awesome students and staff.
Thank you for having everything ready and organized, and for answering all our questions, and explaining things so patiently and clearly… I believe our experience with Note-Able Travel has been a positive one, and I would personally recommend Note-Able travel to others.”
“Just returned from a 3 night trip down to Corpus. All involved had a great time. We had some bus trouble on the way down and Note-able made sure the kids were fed and comfortable the whole time. Can’t express how grateful we are that they went above and beyond to make what could have been a stressful situation easy and comfortable. Highly recommend this awesome company. Thanks for all your work to make our trip memorable!”

“Our trip to Orlando was an extremely positive experience. The staff at Note-Able travel is professional, kind, and helpful in the most critical moments of group travel. They make the experience of travel seamless and worry-free. I cannot wait for our next trip!
“I have nothing but positive things to say about our Fine Arts trip with NoteAble travel. From the beginning to the end they were helpful and did all they could to make our trip the best it could be. Our flight was delayed at the beginning of our trip and we were going to miss our connecting flight but Robert Rubio worked his magic and had the plane held for us so we could make the connection. The charter bus transportation was on time, comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this company for your group travel needs.”
“Note-Able Travel took excellent care of us during our trip. Our department trip to Disney World and Universal Studios went as smooth as I could’ve hoped for! This company thinks about everything and ensures the safety of every traveler. There was an issue with two park tickets during one of our theme park days and Note-Able went above and beyond to fix the situation (which wasn’t their fault to begin with) and to also give the students affected an additional park perk for their trouble. It is obvious that Note-Able Travel always keeps their clients in mind. I am extremely thankful for the experiences and memories that Note-Able Travel gave my students. I always recommend this company first when friends ask about travel companies to work with for their student trips.”
“Note-Able provided a very seamless and safe trip for our program. From taking 160 people through the airport in less than an hour to making all the plans solid before we left, the company is professional and consistent. Communication was outstanding and very organized as well. Highly recommended!!”

“I highly recommend Note-able Travels for large bookings for their service minded mentality and capabilities as a travel agency. We recently took our high school fine arts department of over 150 kids on a trip to Orlando, FL for performances and masterclasses at Disney. This trip was a great opportunity for our students to travel and represent our school outside of the State of Texas. Note-able Travels was well prepared for managing our group of more than 150 students and faculty in many stressful situations. Their representatives were eager to assist us improve our travel experience for all students, chaperones, and faculty. This trip went smoothly thanks to the diligence and communication from our travel representatives.”

“As a University Band Director for almost 30 years, we don’t often do trips involving a tour company. Most college ensembles have the opportunity to travel a little more often than most public schools, and this is often financially covered by university entities. It is a luxury that I do not take for granted. When we decided to book an optional trip that about 1/4 of our ensemble would cover their own financial obligations, our goal was for them to have a great experience not only on the trip, but in the months leading up to it while working with the touring partner we chose. I have utilized a tour company probably 4 times over my time in higher education… Read More
