Appleseed Expeditions

"The trip to the Florida Keys was a great experience for our students. Our guide, Leah, did an awesome job. She was always working behind the scenes to make the trip a wonderful experience. Thanks again for all you did"

"If I could give a company a million stars, it would be Appleseed! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Joe Moore and his company made our Grand Canyon trip. In April, I brought a group of students from outside of Philadelphia that needed extra time and attention for various reasons. Joe did not hesitate to do everything in his power to make everything perfect, roll with the punches, and have the most spectacular time. We had parents tell us that the trip TRANSFORMED their children. We had students that have never been on a plane or away from their families before. Joe encouraged our students to move out of their comfort zones and to find their "sweet spot" in life, by helping others, and having confidence in themselves. The activites, the drives, the views, the food, the company...everything was AMAZING. Everyone learned SO much, on so many levels. Educationally and emotionally, we hit the lottery! There is a lot of wanderlust going around now!! We are already are scheduled for our next trip with them, to Costa Rica! A million stars."

"Appleseed Expeditions and Joe Moore have failed to refund me over $2,000. It has been over a year of the planned trip canceled by the State School Board due to COVID 19 and about a year since Joe Moore has stopped responding to my emails, written letters and phone calls. This is a TERRIBLE business and I am not the only parent still waiting for a refund. DO NOT PLACE MONEY IN THE HANDS OF THIS COMPANY! When will I hear a response about my refund? When will I have my refund? When will this company resolve this long overdue issue?"

"Think twice before reserving through this company! My 8th graders School was planning a trip to Crystal river and have been doing fundraisers throughout the year for their trip to Crystal River. Due to the COVID virus which is out of our control they had to cancel. The company will only give a 70 percent refund. I have no clue why they are keeping the 30 percent in these times. I have had 2 trips I had to cancel one to Utah and one to France which have been refunded. Our kids did not buy plane tickets and all companies are refunding money do to the virus. We also took the extra step and bought their insurance. I’m not sure what exactly that covered. I will never ever go with this company again and will do all in my power to get it bad reviews! My son raised all but $100 of the $900 amount so it seems your stealing from a kid! Nice."

"My son's 8th grade class trip has cancelled due to COVID-19. Our school has been very patient for a response regarding a refund from Appleseed Expeditions, and they have finally replied stating they will issue a 70% refund. They are not issuing 100% due to having already done preliminary work and paid deposits to vendors (which you would think would be refunded based on the circumstances). I understand travel and tour companies are facing big financial distress based on all the cancellations, but to withhold money from 8th grade student families reflects poor business practice, in my opinion. Not only are the students disappointed in missing their trip and graduation from middle school, now the families have to dispute this inadequate refund. Our school will not use this company in the future, and I recommend others look for other options when planning school trips."
