Testimonials
Here's what some customers think of
"I have traveled with Tour-Rific of Texas since 2000. In that time I have taken three Orlando trips with them and several other smaller in-state trips. These ladies are extremely detail oriented, and will give you exactly what you are asking for. They advised me to do the Blue Man Group performance, but we opted not to do it. Now I wish I had.
Words of wisdom: They really know what they're doing! Heed their advice! They always give me great hotels and do a great schedule.
I dont know of any director that has left Tour-Rific to go with another company. They work very hard to earn your business and especially keep your repeat business. I will never travel with another company. I was looking for a tour company and they were recommended to me by many colleagues. Their client list is extremely impressive. I would unconditionally recommend working with these ladies. You will not be unhappy. Their professionalism is second to none."

"The trip to Florida was awesome! On behalf of the staff and students of the Gladewater Bear Band, thank you for making our trip a huge success. It's so refreshing to employ a travel company that specializes in the needs of student groups.
Each detail of our trip was planned to perfection and executed without a flaw. While in Florida, I had the opportunity to speak with people who have been doing business with TOUR-RIFIC over the years, and they too, speak of you and your company with great affection.
Thank you for taking the extra time to cater a trip to our specific needs. I'm so delighted to find, in this day and age, travel consultants who are sincere about making the customer happy.
Please know that you have earned my respect and the right to be my preferred travel consultant. I look forward to continuing our relationship in the years to come."

"When I began teaching at Memorial -- one of the first calls I received was from Sandi Kerth. The mission of her phone call was to assure me that her work was of high quality and that I would always be satisfied. Well -- she undersold herself.
As I choose a destination for my orchestra to travel each year -- I immediately call
On many occasions -- I have called Sandi to tell her of our chosen destination and immediately -- she was able to tell me the great attractions of the area, the ins and outs -- the details only an experienced person could know. During the trips -- I realize the number of things that would have been overlooked had the

"It has been my pleasure to use your travel services since I first became a head high school choir director. You walked me through my first out of state trip, when we went to California. You even went along with us to "show me the ropes" and let me see first hand that traveling out of state can be user friendly! Since then we have traveled to New York, Washington D.C. and this year to California.
Your attention to detail, punctuality with information, quickness to return phone calls and patience to clarify any monetary issues is exceptional. In addition, you are always willing to work with us within a price range that we are able to afford.
Lodging is always more than acceptable, restaurants are by in large very suitable for our large numbers, and air transportation and buses are always the finest available. When requested, you are helpful in arranging our schedules to accommodate singing at various cathedrals, including St. Patrick's in New York, St. Matthews in Washington D.C. and most recently the Crystal Cathedral.
When we have stayed in state or needed any help in securing bus transportation or even a camp or resort for a choir trip your group is also very helpful.
I have told many fellow choir directors about your services and am always happy to hear that they too are impressed with your service and go back to you time and again. After all, it is from another choir director that I learned about you."

When we go out of state, it's nice to know that buses will pick us up on time, and we have quality lodging. Thank you for the quality of what you do."
