About Gradcity

GradCity is dedicated to helping high school students celebrate youth through travel. Anyone can offer a flight and hotel, but unlike a travel agent, GradCity offers a program that plans out your trip itinerary from beginning to end. We want you to experience your destination, do things you have never done, and get the ultimate Spring Break or Graduation trip.

No Supervision My husband and I have spent a week at a resort which hosts Gradcity students. I was absolutely mortified with the lack of supervision! As a parent, you want to be able to trust that your child (no matter what age) is safe and taken care of. This is not what we witnessed with these Gradcity students. The students were completely left to their own devices. The supervisors were either huddled in a group socializing amongst themselves, completely absent, or passively sitting by. The students would blare their music and yell at all hours of the night, cut in front of you at the buffet and bar, have sex in the hallways and leave their condoms lying around, leave their drinks everywhere (we even found several when snorkeling at the beach), drink themselves into unconsciousness, and interrupt the hotel shows. I expect teenagers to make questionable decisions, but I also expect their supervisors to watch out for them.

Gradcity Horrible!!! We booked with a recent trip to the Bahamas. We paid our trip in full and one month before the trip we were notified that we owed $230. When I called I got a very rude representative who told me it was because we only had 3 boys in the room. This was not our choice, the boys were all friends so we decided not to select roommates they were assigned rooms by Gradcity. Everyone else got 4 person rooms at no extra charge. The kicker is that when the boys arrived the "three person" room was a queen bed and a cheap cot! They paid collectively $690 extra for a cot to sleep on for 5 days. And by the way, the assurance we got at the initial meeting that Gradcity would be there if we had any problems was a joke as well. it took me 2 days to contact a Gradcity rep. (no one EVER even picked up the phone). When I finally contacted someone he told me he had no control over what the hotel did but would look into it. He NEVER called me back. I called several times afterwards and never could get in touch with anyone. I wonder what I would have done if there had been an emergency and I couldn't get in touch with someone at Gradcity?!!! These are the same people who said they would keep a close watch over our kids and be there for anything we needed! Needless to say, I am disputing the charges and I strongly urge anyone to think twice before booking with this group.

Cancun, Mexico I had the time of my life on my senior spring break and going with gradcity made it even better. One thing I liked most about going with gradcity is that I had access and a ride to great clubs in the city that people who didn't go through gradcity did not have.

Simply the Best Simply the Best! Unbelieveable experience! Everything from transportation, check in and the coordinated events went without a hitch. Can't say enough good things about the comfort level we had knowing that Debbie Birecki and the staff had everything under control. I would highly recommend Grad City to anyone who wants the perfect senior trip! Thanks for all the hard work that you made look easy!!!! AAA+++
