What I love about Infinity Tours: 
• Tour coordinator with the group 24/7 who is friendly and fun
• Activities personalized and appropriate for our group
• Willing to work with our budget
• Transparent about fees
• Flexible and ready to resolve problems on site 

We had a fabulous 9 days enjoying and exploring Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy

2024 Cantorum Chamber Choir Tour

we had a great time. Some of the accommodations were not adequate for our needs. Since we had two wheelchairs, we couldn’t use some of the scheduled accommodations and other arrangements had to be made. If I were to do that trip again I would spend more time in a fewer places. I did not enjoy packing up every three days and moving.. So we saw many wonderful things and had really good experiences, I could have enjoyed a slower pace.

Stong Family Heritage Tour

We had an absolute wonderful time, such a wonderful group to travel with. We were on the go pretty much the entire time. Very fun food stops (a little expensive though). 

Riverton Drama - Best of Broadway!

I had an amazing time. Every detail was planned so well. The accommodations were all fantastic. Transportation was flawless. Food was amazing. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. I would love to travel with this company again!

This is the second trip I've taken with Infinity, and I can truly say both experiences were magical. The planning was fantastic. We sang in the most amazing places and had such wonderful activities and options. I loved every minute of it. Thank you Jenn, Mike and Greta for all of your hard work to make things go smoothly! 

This trip was so well organized that I never had to ask any questions about our itinerary or additional activities. Jen was always available and played well with others! She was fun.

We had the best choir tour to Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. It was definitely a whirlwind but we enjoyed everything! Our tour hosts were amazing and they really did a great job planning and executing the itinerary. We sang in so many amazing churches in Europe and saw some fantastic sites. We wish we could do it all over again! Thanks infinity!

We had a great time, saw a lot and had quality time with the family. Busy but awesome. Agent did a great job with the amount of people traveling and the accommodations of other travelers.

The air bnbs did not have enough bedrooms (we needed at least 8, only 7 at both places). The second apartment in Copenhagen, there was not an elevator, which wheelchair accessible was specifically indicated and the stairs were way too steep. Also on the second apartment, even if it had worked out between the two flats, there were still not enough bedrooms. 

Personally, my flights coming back I think that could’ve been handled a little bit better. It was extremely stressful and I thought for sure we were going to miss our connecting flight because this a very large airport and having to going through customs there was added stress at least 150-200 passengers before us (more time would have been better- we had less than 2 hours to get through everything and ran to our flight). It would’ve been nice to fly back with the rest of my family.

Overall, a wonderful trip and great suggestions by the travel agent. We had a wonderful time.. 

My daughter had a really interesting, good and fun time. She really enjoyed every minute of this trip. Thank you so much 👍👍👍🥰

My son had so much fun.  time when by so fast  he enjoy every day every stop 

We had a great time. The check-in for the flights was a bit slow, but the hotel and busses between airport and hotel were great. Clin is amazing source of knowledge for all things New York and Broadway, and he made sure we all had a fantastic time.  


We had a wonderful trip to Anaheim! I felt like it was very planned out and we were always on schedule. Everyone was very friendly, including the bus drivers! It was just overall great trip thank you!

Jordan Performing Arts Parents

It was great! Amanda was organized and patient and extremely helpful. The trip went very well!

Mountain Ridge Band Huntington Beach, CA

Disappointing, frustrating and unpleasant. Only two tour guides for our group of about 250 people, It was chaotic and disorganized. Chaperones had to figure everything out on their own, and multiple times we were forced to wait long periods of time in uncomfortable situations and outside in cold, rainy weather. There was an extreme lack of preparation,, planning, organization and extremely poor or no communication, Timing was not planned for travel to and from destinations within New York City, there was no guidance for use of public transportation, and multiple people were either late or missed out on activities that they were looking forward to. 

Madison Junior High Orchestra

The kids loved the trip so much. Lots of walking, but we were up for that. 

Our son had a great experience and was safe while in New York City even though there were only 2 tour guides for the student group of >100,

Heather and Bryant were incredible guides. I can't imagine going on a trip like this without them!

I signed up to be a chaperone on this trip, and even though it was a great trip, the tour guide and company lacked on multiple fronts.
With such a large group (200+)and only having 2 tour leaders was completely unacceptable, this left chaperones to fend for themselves and their group. When we were in groups, communication was lacking-we had no idea of changes in the schedule until the very last minute, then felt rushed to group up and many times people were left behind in busy areas making them find their own way. 
The Hotel was in no way capable to accommodate a group of our size, 25 floors with 2 elevators that could only fit 8 people- hotel breakfast that the students were not allowed to actually go down to eat- but was delivered and some rooms were missed, that caused added stress to everyone. Food Group orders were often shorted, and some people did not get to eat a meal that was included in the tour. 
My daughter and I traveled before the group and therefore did not pay for the airline ticket provided but felt the food stipend and travel cost (shuttle etc) that were added to the all-inclusive price should have been given for those travel days- we missed out on 3 meals that I feel was still part of the all-inclusive tour. 
NYC was beautiful, fun and exciting but unfortunately the tour company did not plan accordingly for our group size, location and overall organization to help make it run smoothly.


I was amazed at all the planning that happened to make this trip possible with so many youth and adults. There were many details worked out to get the instruments where they needed to be, to get meals to us, and to communicate where we are going and when. We were able to see so many great places in a few days. Thanks for all your efforts! It was a wonderful trip!

This whole trip was just amazing. Sara did such a great job putting everything together. One of the best parts was that if there was an issue with the trip, I did not have to worry about it. Sara took care of everything. Now we did not really have any big issues, but I think that is just because the planning was so well done. The students I took had a blast and were able to bring so many valuable memories and lessons back. As a teacher, it was so nice to go on a trip and have someone else in charge of all the details like room, food, activities, and transportation. This allowed me to just focus on my students and help them with their photography. Every part of our trip was handled professionally. I would have no problem sending my child on a trip with Infinity. They made sure everyone was safe and that the students were taken care of. I will never tour without Infinity again. I can just not say enough about how well the trip was put together and run.  

Rigby Photography Trip to Alaska

The food at La Melo's was good and it was nice to sit down and enjoy a meal without rushing.  I also liked that we had a group reservation at the Met which allowed us a secure space to leave our coats and umbrellas.  The flight out of La Guardia was really smooth and nice.  It was also good to have all the metro cards and physical Broadway tickets before we left Utah.  That saved a lot of time getting on the subway the first time.  The Broadway Up Close Workshops were incredible and the staff and presenters for that organization were so good at their jobs!

The accommodation was not in a safe area at all.  There were homeless individuals doing drug deals just outside our hotel.  The hotel did not have security at the front like many hotels in NYC.  There was an incident where a homeless individual came in to the lobby and was berating our students for not giving him money.  The chaperones had to physical create a barrier until the hotel staff could get more help to have him removed.  The hotel had a hard time accommodating the amount of visitors at one time.  They only had two elevators for more than 30 floors of rooms which created some issues with baggage.  More time at the 9/11 Museum is required.  2 1/2 hours is not enough time to see all that the museum has to offer especially for teenagers who were not alive when it occurred.

I know that a lot of extra work went into planning this trip after Infinity Tours sent the itinerary because of the logistics of getting 60 people around New York.  I am not quite sure if it was because of the size of our group or the fact that faculty has planned and executed 10+ trips to NYC without an outside company, but this trip did seem to be more stressful and more rushed than trips in the past.  We did have sufficient free time, but when we had events, they were booked closely together and with limited time to travel to those destinations it felt overwhelming and rushed. 






Lehi HS Drama NYC Trip

Amazing trip.. Sara was an amazing tour guide and we had everything taken care of. Couldn't have been a better trip. 
Thanks!!!!

We had a great time.  Our accommodations were nice and experiences interesting.  Thanks

Lyceum Philharmonic Orchestra to New York City

Thank you to the infinity tours. The trip was well planned and fun. They thought of everything! We ate too well and played hard. The Syracuse High School teachers and staff were amazing!!!! Five stars! 

Syracuse Performing Arts Parents - March 2024

Great organization and communication. All went smoothly. Perfect and full itinerary, lots of options. Payment schedule was very reasonable and response to questions prompt. Lovely, stress free trip! 

It was so fun!! I really admire and appriciate the trip leaders for helping and dealing with all those teenager!

LONE PEAK MDT

This was a great trip! I was amazed at how organized it was even though we had a huge group. The logistics of putting our tour together must have been quite the challenge, but it all seemed to go pretty well. If there were any bumps along the way, the tour guides were readily available and very quickly solved any problems. Thanks for a fun and stress-free experience!

Salem Hills Performing Arts

Over all it was a great experience.  One thing that was hard was feeling completely rushed! Running to everything.  Never sitting down to eat.  Just getting fast food cause lines are so long everywhere.  I’d suggest more time for meals…. I know it’s trying to fit everything in.  
Maybe New Yorks too big! We needed another day.  Also something that might have helped the wheel chair people,  A mapped out plan. Of all the bus schedules before hand.  
It was so fun and an awesome experience to hear the kids at the multiple places to sing! That was the best! 

Cedar Valley HS Choir Tour Additional Broadway Shows

We had a lot of neat experiences on this trip and made memories that we will never forget. Seeing the opera was an experience that I would never had had if it weren't for this trip, I wasn't sure at first that I wanted to go because I do not love the opera but it was cool to go and now I can say that I have seen the opera. The Summit ONE experience was incredible and one that I didn't even know about until this trip, we loved it. I am grateful for everything we saw and did on this trip. And with myself and my daughter having celiac disease, finding food proved to be a bit challenging. It was frustrating when we only had 15-30 minutes to find food and since we can't have street food, we were lucky to find what we did. But the restaurants that the group ate at offered delicious gluten free food. 

Things that would be nice to change for future trips: Making sure that people have sufficient time to find food, or providing a list of restaurants in the area you will be in for the day so they don't have to waste time searching, like in our case, it would have been nice to know what our options were for gluten free, especially since we really didn't have enough time to search up gluten free restaurants. We got lucky a few times and were able to find places to eat, but it was stressful not knowing if we would even find anything. And most of the places we went to didn't even know what gluten free was. Also, the trip was exhausting, it would have been nice to have more down time to recover. I felt like most of our down or "free" time that was on the schedule was taken up by many of the activities we did. A better balance of activities and down time would be great and I was disappointed that we only got to be in Central Park for a couple hours, most of which was spent at a performance, so we didn't really get to experience Central Park.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this trip. Reflecting back at all the cool things we did has been really fun. 

While our team did very well on this trip, our travel accommodations were extremely poor and frankly NOT SAFE for the minor girls in our group. 

Flights were terrible with 7 hour travel time because of layovers. Direct flights would have saved 4 hours.

Coach/bus scheduled to pick up at Ontario airport, did not arrive on time. Our flight was slightly late, the team coach called the transportation company to find out where our bus was… it came over an hour late. 

The Residence Inn where we were booked was extremely unsafe! It was basically a homeless shelter with outside buildings. We arrived quite late the first night and hotel keys and rooms were not ready. One room waited over an hour (until 1:30am) for their key. Our minor high school students had to be walked to and from their rooms every time we left the hotel. Our girls never felt safe in this hotel! Other “residents” roamed the hotel grounds at ALL hours. We called security on several individuals. Guests rooms smelled of smoke and marijuana although they were designated non-smoking. There was an EVGO car charger in the parking lot. It was filled with cars lined up for charging night and day. We felt very unsafe walking our minor girls past those cars, but had to repeatedly because back door to hotel lobby was ALWAYS locked, no key entry working. The roof of the main building was covered with plastic sheets , possible to prevent leaking. We witnessed guests being checked into free rooms - for sheltering. Hotel management REFUSED to allow use of breakfast room for our group dinners which was ridiculous considering the amount of rooms we had booked. OVERALL THIS HOTEL WAS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD! 

Our coach/bus for the final morning was also an hour late, or just not on the schedule, driver that finally came didn’t know our itinerary for that day. She thought we were going directly to the airport.  Her late arrival caused us to get stuck in traffic and loose precious touring time. 

I was extremely dissatisfied with Infinity Tours. I would never recommend them for student travel bookings.

Hillcrest Drill Parents

A great way to see the whole city. Fast moving and full of excitement.  This was such a great time!

We had a great time. They worked hard to accommodate so many high schoolers and adults. Thank you

At first it was a little stressful but as the trip went on I had a lot of fun. I don't know if I'd go back but for what it was it was very good. Thank you for a good time.

The set up and communication with the agent was fine. The bus for travel was good. Nice drivers. One bus was an hour late for pick up in the early am. Not fun to get up early and wait. 

The Marriott Residence Inn Ontario Convention was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. (I’ve stayed in Marriotts all over the world)  Filthy, terrible smell,  broken windows, broken locks, disgusting breakfast. There were homeless people and scary druggies walking around. We escorted our young teenage girls everywhere because we were afraid for their safety. 
The ONLY positive was walkability to the Convention Center. 

McKenna is a fun and accommodating guide. The kids loved her! The tour was a great success! 

American Fork Choir to San Francisco, CA

We had a great time! Travel went smoothly and the hosts were responsive to questions and issues. I didn't love our accommodations and we had issues with ammenities (access to bathrooms and showers, no hot water, etc). We also had issues with the tour issued Till cards. Better communication about the purpose of the funds distributed (and less pushing of a company and their app) would have better served us for this trip. Overall a great experience, would go again (but definitely would pay extra for better accommodations).

Overall pretty good! One director forgot to book an event so the entire group had to plan something off the top of our head. 

It was a good trip, however we had little time between venues.  So it was hard to find time to eat and enjoy the culture.  The dorms that youth stayed in had opposite genders using the same facilities.  This made them uncomfortable as bathrooms are stalls and not in the room.  Also one event was in a bad part of New York and had no crowd which discouraged the kids. Other than that it was a great trip with over 200 people in a city that is vastly different than what we are used to.   Given the group size I would go through them again, just a few things that needed to be adjusted.   Great Job!!!!

There were a lot of great activities and events planned for the kids.  We are beyond grateful for these experiences, but the trip was over scheduled and wore all of the adults and most of the kids out.  With being on such a tight schedule, there was no allowance for the possibility of things not going according to plan.  And boy, there was a LOT that didn't go according to plan.  We understand things come up that are not in your control, but the lack of contingency planning and leadership put a huge damper on our experience. When the hotel did not have rooms ready on time, there was NO reason that chaperones should have been given rooms ahead of any children.  We had kids get their rooms 10 minutes before we were supposed to leave for Wicked when they were told they would have an hour and a half to two hours to rest and get ready.  When the pizza was over 40 minutes late, we had to grab a slice and run to the theater then get lost in the subway due to lack of leadership (this was the first day we were in the city and not yet familiar with the subway system). My group missed the first 20 minutes of the play and were starving by the time we got back to the hotel where they were given cold 3 hr old pizza (not worth the $20 allowance they should have had). Things did seem to run a little smoother once the chaperones were familiarized with the subway system and again, the experiences planned for the kids were phenomenal. (Broadway workshops, Broadway Shows, The Summit Experience, Choral performances in cathedrals, the Met, Central Park, 9/11 memorial etc..)
A review and purging of some unreliable vendors should seriously be considered before planning your next tour. Also, there should be some way to transfer any remaining Till card balance back to the students, especially when they did not have an opportunity to use the cards due to aforementioned unreliable vendors (ie bus transportation to the airport)

It was amazing!!! They did so wonderful!!

Overall, the trip went well, and we enjoyed ourselves. The Till cards seemed to be a big issue, but with a simple enough solution. 

Some of the down time needs better planning. The free time some places felt far too rushed, especially for students that needed extra time due to a medical need.

More time should have been spent on Alcatraz to better enjoy it. There was not enough time to get up the hills, see things without rushing, get through all of the tour, and back down to meet at the correct time. 

At the Peir there was not enough time to eat and take some time to relax and enjoy the time for the students.  Food in some of the places took time to make then eat and still be able to do things. It wasn't so bad, but at the time that was the best place to shop and some students didn't have the time. 

39 Steps was great, but the students were also so exhausted from the go, go, go that many fell asleep during the performance which is poor theater etiquette on our part as a school. 

Grace Cathedral and Chinatown were more of an issue. The time to work with Chanticleer was great for the students, but it didn't need to be as long and on top of their regular rehearsal too. They get bored, start to struggle with attention, and more. Risk to their voices getting tired could be a factor.  

Chinatown was poorly planned especially for the students with health needs. The walk there and back was more than 10 minutes and the steep incline was not taken into consideration. There was not enough time to eat lunch, get there, shop/explore, and then get back on time. It had already been a full day by that point and that just added to it. More down time should have been given then. 

Overall the trip was great, but just a few small things could have been better.
Mckenna was AMAZING!! 

Fun and educational trip! Meika went above and beyond to make sure our kids had a wonderful experience. She took care of difficult food allergies and restrictions and quickly changed the scheduled when needed to accommodate weather and shortened clinics.  Highly recommend the travel agency, but especially Meika! 

Clearfield HS Band Participants

We had a great time. The excursions planned were fun for everyone. The late night party cruise was an absolute blast! Our tour guide, McKenna, was EXCEPTIONAL! There was an issue with one of my daughter's meals not being GF, and McKenna went above and beyond to get her something to eat! She was always super kind and helpful!
