“Our experience with The ARTS Festivals and Travel was nothing less than true professionalism. Their prices are very competitive and customer service was never an issue. Scott and company made sure we had all the necessary arrangements taken care of well before we hit the road. Consider traveling with The ARTS FT for a hassle free memorable experience.”

“Your company provided and experience that was head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever had, including companies I worked with while at PSJA. All of the details were taken care of and the itinerary was so incredibly full. It was amazing that we were able to do all of the events we did. The kids were super happy. I really believe in customer loyalty. If a company is meeting all of my needs, I don’t need to shop around. I look forward to planning all my future trips with your company. And by the way, the bus company was stellar. We had a different driver on the way back home and both drivers were extremely professional and pleasant. Our first driver had a great personality and added an extra twist of fun to the trip. We will be requesting that company and driver next year.”

“As a mariachi director participant of this year’s Arts International Festival, I learned that it was not only a motivational experience but a learning one as well. It was a rather interesting experience. The hosts were extremely helpful and organized. The schedule was on-time. Furthermore, the sound system used was of good quality and projected all around their well equipped auditorium. The judging rubric used was fair in all aspects. Overall, the experience was great and I am looking forward for the 2015 Arts International Festival.”

“The overall experience was unmatched. As being the only Director, it was great knowing that all the details were being taken care of. Whenever I had a question, all I had to do was send a short email or make a quick phone call and the ARTS Festivals and Travel was there to help get my questions answered. I did not have to worry about anything once I reach my destinations. All I did was tell them who I was and what group I was bringing and everything was ready once I arrived. The bus company was great and our driver was very punctual with the timing from activity to activity. The school in which we performed was a great venue and the Director along with his students were helpful in informing us of what we needed to do and where we needed to be. My students had a great time at each activity and gained exceptional experience through the ARTS Festivals and Travel. There is no doubt in mind that this will be the company I go to for my festival and travel needs.”
