See What People Are Saying

“It has been my privilege to use Group Travel Network as the exclusive travel coordinator for my band for over 10 years. I can say, without doubt or hesitation, that GTN is, by far, the best travel company for student groups currently in existence. I have often said that I wouldn’t take my band across the street without GTN and that’s not far from the truth!”

Jody Dunn, Director | Crestview High School

“What wonderful trip we had to NYC! Our group of 51 never missed a beat because of Group Travel Network and our wonderful guide, Tim. It was truly a theatre trip to remember! If you are looking for a travel company who really cares about the details, Group Travel Network is for you!”

Kimberly Staples, Buford City Schools

“This was my first time using a company to plan our band trip. It was so easy working with Justin and Group Travel Network. We had to make several changes along the way, but they were accommodating changes and worked everything out for us. I would highly recommend using Group Travel Network.”

Roger Simpson, Irmo HS Band - SC
