Hummingbird Student Tours is well known internationally. I have been working with Billerica Memorial High School and other local high schools for many decades, and have had the privilege of hosting foreign exchange student groups as well as chaperoning student trips abroad to France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. What I value most about Hummingbird is that their staff truly listen and remain open-minded to what I want for my students, not just what they have to offer. With the diversity and creativity of their itineraries, you are bound to find a program that fits your vision.
Above all, in today’s world of AI, automated answering systems, and too often no response at all, it is incredibly reassuring to know that when you travel with Hummingbird—whether domestically or internationally—you will always reach a knowledgeable person, day or night, whose only goal is the success of your trip..

The Coakley Middle School's experience with Hummingbird tours has been exceptional. They have met our travel program and our families needs each year. They make adjustments so our trip fits our needs. The trips have been fantastic! The staff is excellent both on the ground and at home. We look forward to expanding the number of trips we are doing with Hummingbird this year!
