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 has long provided a fantastic travel experience for us. We always enjoy the rigorous schedule because we get to see so much - thrilling scenery and beautiful art and magnificent architecture.. Once we got to our first destination, all these things transpired. But, getting to Athens from the USA was awful thanks to Delta and bad weather in NYC. Mostly, the airline was not helpful nor understanding as we attempted to reschedule our 28 travelers. I feel that ACIS let us down in conjunction with the Delta fiasco. The travel was to take about 17 hours but it took over 50 hours .. should ACIS have intervened and gotten all of us on a different flight out of Atlanta? The window of opportunity closed on us ... one delay after another between Atlanta-NYC-Brussels (detour) -Athens. Our leader pleaded with Delta and ACIS for assistance with multiple phone calls throughout the delays in NYC and then in Brussels - especially when a few students did not have a seat on the last flight to Athens. I feel ACIS commitment to make our entire travel experience great from start (airport) to finish was lacking by leaving us to fend for ourselves against Delta. The beginning of the travel adventure was.. a nightmare. I am disappointed that ACIS did not take control away from Delta and book different flights to get us ALL where we were supposed to be, when we were supposed to be there.

ACIS is an amazing company that delivers everything they promise. Great tour guide and amazing customer services before, during and after the trip.
We had a wonderful trip but the only recommendations Inqoild give are the meals that are given that supposedly represent our meals here in the US. While we indeed have a bad wrap for our high consumption of carbs, having one meal that was pasta, French fries and beef roast was 1) nothing that any American would concoct but so unhealthy. There were no veggies nor fruit. Unfortunately, the next night wasn't much better. Also, where we served bottled water, each of us was only allowed one with our meals. This needs to be amended. Per ACIS, breakfast and dinners were included and in 112 to 120 degree heat that we endured, water should not have been an issue. Also, the last time that I took a trip I mentioned the amount of free time. While we are aware of the time spent exploring, there was way too much down time in Sevilla where events could have been planed. Also, please remind teachers and students to bring IDs as we needed them to get discounts. There was way too much extra money spent on events and with the inconsistency of the employees and their haphazardness of being kind, some of us were charged far more than other groups. Raquel was amazing and I would definitely request her by name for my next 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.
Costa Rica March 2017 I did not expect all of the logistics and organization that were in place to make sure that we enjoyed every possible adventure. Our tour guide was exceptional in handling problems as well as guiding through his country's wonders. He went above and beyond. The meals were abundant and tasty, some places more than others. Some students complained about having white rice and black beans again but others loved it. As the group leader I was relaxed since everything was taken care of all the time. ACIS called and asked me if all was going well and if there was anything they could do to improve. The hotels were all excellent choices and the staff helpful and efficient. It was a marvelous trip which I know changed many lives already!
Had such a fantastic trip!! Went to Italy and had an amazing time! Would highly recommend!
This was our first time on an ACIS trip, and the service far surpassed any other agency we've worked with. Denise Erb took care of everything, down to the smallest detail,; we were able to focus on the wonderful sites we visited. Our tour guide, Libby, was more than amazing...another detailed-oriented person. She and Denise made sure we had the perfect balance of excursions and downtime. We highly recommend ACIS...first class all the way!
Excellent trip. Our guide was unbelievable and helpful. One of the best trips of my life.
