Great trip
Great trip, loved the evening walks to dinner & back. Hotels good! Need to warn attendees to be prepared to walk all day, especially uphill. Students & adults need to prep if they are not daily walkers.

Went on the Coast to Coast Costa Rica tour. Absolutely the best trip ever. Our tour manager Herson was totally amazing. Learned a lot and enjoyed the cultural experience.
ACIS delivered excellence in all fields of our trip to Ireland, Wales and Scotland, from beginning to end.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first Tour group experience. Having been a very experienced independent traveler, I didn't think I would like being in the control of others but the itinerary was far more extensive than anything I would have put together myself. Our tour leader, James, was simply outstanding. He was so very knowledgeable, had great "classroom management" skills and enjoyed giving life to the sights with his theatrical skills. The hotels ranged from adequate to wonderful but all were exceptionally well located for walking tours. The food was as good as can be expected for serving 40 people at the same time. Logistics were totally and competently handled. I could not recommend the trip highly enough!
Loves the itinerary- jam packed with cool and educational information
Great trip! Expertly arranged and Raquel was a phenomenal guide!!!
I have been on many educational tours and have had wonderful experiences however the tour with ACIS far exceeded every other tour by far! The itinerary was perfect and allowed us time to truly experience the culture at a comfortable pace and never left us a dull moment. Exploring in Tortuguero and witnessing a sea turtle lay eggs on a protected beach at night is something I will treasure for life...zip lining with my students...horeseback riding...these are memories that were all made possible by ACIS. Everyone from Jessica who helped create the itinerary to Marco who was THE best guide I've ever experienced (who- by the way- went ABOVE and BEYOND! This is a man who loves his job and adores Costa Rica and the love really spills over into those lucky enough to have him as a guide!!) were super kind and professional. On a scale of 1-10 I give ACIS a 12!! Thank you for a truly memorable experience for my students and myself :)
Our tour of France was excellent! We had an amazing opportunity to see and do so many things throughout the entire country. Having the local guides in some of our stops was also a great way to get more in depth and personal cultural experience as well. Definitely recommend ACIS tours and would take one again in a heartbeat.
ACIS is an amazing company that delivers everything they promise. Great tour guide and amazing customer services before, during and after the trip.
Lucy Ryan was the most amazing guide! She treated us like family and made sure our trip was unforgettable! There is NOTHING I would change about our trip
Shelia as the tour coordinator did an outstanding job and conducted an excellent trip. Ben as the tour guide was also outstanding.
Our school recently piloted the Young Women's Leadership tour to Italy for ACIS. I have traveled several times with ACIS in the past, and have always been impressed with their customer service, tour guides, hotels, restaurants, and the educational/cultural emphasis of their tours. The YWL tour of Italy combined all of the above with an outstanding array of leadership workshops and presentations focused on the female perspective in Italy. We heard from diverse groups on a wide range of topics. My colleague and I, as well as our students, were awed and inspired by the women who met with us. We were equally touched and appreciative of the commitment and interest of the ACIS staff in the focus of this trip, and at every level of the organization's leadership.
I have traveled with ACIS four times in the past. Every single time, they exceed my expectations!!! ACIS has adapted very well to the changing climate of global travel and the hesitation that many teachers have. I was overwhelmed that you took great strides to make our stay extremely pleasant and safe! The new cultural additions to the trip, such as painting at Cezanne's home, was priceless! Our tour guide, Marie-Helene, was like one of the family and made our trip memorable. She was efficient and kind. Never once did I worry or regret choosing to travel with ACIS.
We had a really good time! Ian was awesome!!
This is my family's third trip with ACIS. Your organization is well informed from beginning to end. Thank you for allowing my son's the opportunity to travel safely abroad.
I worked with Heidi Pettit; from the beginning she was patient, professional and helpful to me and parents. All activities, transportations and accommodations were superb. After years since I left ACIS, I was happy to be back with the company again.
ACIS provided an amazing experience as I went on a trip with my school to the wonderful country of Costa Rica, where I was able to participate in many activities such as Zip-lining and in depth tours of the culture. I would highly recommend using ACIS for any group trips you wish to take in the future.
We traveled to London, Paris and Barcelona with a school group. We had one member who was post surgery and needed to switch to a wc as the walking was too much. Our guide took great care of her in all three cities. Then another person got sick and she got a doctor to come to the hotel and get them taken care of. The extra things, like the art walk in Paris and the food experience and biking in Barcelona, were amazing. I have done these trips before. Sonia was the best. ACIS creates a comprehensive package that allows the participants to get the most out of their travel experience.
