Iceland
The trip had us at a hotel that was not located near anything that students could do...students were back at the hotel by 5 p.m. with NOTHING to do for the rest of the evening. The hotel for the first 3 nights was in the middle of nowhere. 4 out of 5 dinner meals were at the hotel...where students would have preferred to have experienced more of a "taste" of Iceland as various restaurants. We could have had a direct flight of 6 hours, instead we spent 14 hours at the airport just to travel from Chicago to New York and from New York to Iceland and the same in reverse. Checking luggage, collecting luggage, security lines..customs, collecting luggage, rechecking luggage,...all very unnecessary and frustrating giving that you have to keep track of students. It appears to me that ACIS did what ever it could to save money on this trip. Attention to details and making it an "exceptional educational journey --not ordinary tours" as they advertise...and their promise "...pushing the experience from 'good enough' to exceptional is what we do everyday." fell very, very short for this trip. I am left feeling very disappointed and sorry for the students who paid so much money for a "sub-par" trip.
