An excellent student travel choice where everything is included: No money exchanged while on tour, no surprise fees. Excellent accommodations close to where you want to be not 10, 15 minutes away from points of interest. Excellent regional foods and superb guides. Yes you could pay less but in travel, you get what you pay for!! No other choice for me.
The best in the business! After 25 years of working with this company, they keep getting better. Their love for kids, understanding of educators, and partnering with parents are the best. Engaging kids and educators in travel is thier forte.
I’ve traveled in the past with other companies but the service and education that my students received thru ACIS was far superior. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, great communicator and very organized. The activities, hotels and food were first class. I would highly recommend them and it’s worth the extra money
I am always pleased with my trips, most hotels and food. Tour managers are off the charts. When I come home I am always satisfied and ready to travel again
Our trip to England and France was absolutely incredible. We took 28 high school girls on the trip - and they loved it! ACIS is the best educational travel company - from the itinerary that they set forth to the highly knowledgeable tour managers that stay with us the entire length of the trip to the hotel accommodations - everything is always perfect. This was our 2nd trip in as many years - and I can't wait to take another group next year!
Our school has been using ACIS for several years and has been happily satisfied every step of the way. We are already planning for 2020! This is my 4th trip abroad with them and I have had the most pleasant communications with every representative from start to finish. This year we went to Italy, and had a relatively glitch free experience. Our Tour Manager, Cheira, was incredibly well prepared with art reproductions, handouts and other items of interest that pertained to each site we visited. We had a very ambitious list of sites to see and she managed to get us to all of them on time. She was kind and patient with the students and her talks were interesting and informative. The only problem we experienced were the enormous crowds - everywhere, but particularly in Rome due to the Easter, Passover and Liberation Day holidays. Parts of the coliseum were closed off, St. Peter's Basilica was swamped and despite having tickets, we couldn't get through the security in time for the Papal General Audience. As always, our flights and hotel accommodations were excellent - good breakfasts and central locations to many sights and terrific local guides; most of the dinners were pretty good, although we did have a couple of casualties in that regard. All in all, a great experience combining learning objectives with plenty of free time for the teens to explore at their own pace and enjoy the gelato!
We recently used ACIS for the Via Aurelia trip through Spain, France and Italy. The level of service and support that we received was outstanding on every level, be it before, during or after the trip. Our tour guide was extremely organized, proactive, informed and professional. Having hotels located in the city centers really enhanced the trip as well. I highly recommend ACIS and will definitely be using them again!
ACIS was a fabulous company for our recent school trip to Greece and Italy. Every detail was thought out and covered, from flights to hotels to food. Our tour manager was AMAZING - we wanted to take him home with us when the trip was over! The communication from ACIS was excellent when it came to those changes and delays that inevitably happen in an international trip - they took care of everything efficiently. We are already planning another trip with ACIS!
