“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!”

“Fantastic trip!!! Robert Rubio and his staff took care of our 200+ person Middle School group from start to finish. They ensured all the vendors and venues were lined up and ready for our arrival and communicated clearly throughout the planning process so everyone knew what to expect…    Read More

“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 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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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
