I highly recommend traveling with ACIS. Our trip had an unforseen intinerary change and ACIS offered us an equally engaging trip with a personalized excursion without a price increase. Our tour manager M took great care of us!
The tour guides are amazing! AKA Herson! The food is awesome and you get choices. The trips are personalized and you know exactly what you are getting when you sign up for an ACIS trip!
You get what you pay for. ACIS is not the least expensive in the business, but the quality of their service, hotel locations, and food arrangements are top notch.
ACIS truly goes the extra mile! When my daughter arrived at the airport for her trip, it was only then that we realized her passport was expired - and this was over the Christmas holidays. ACIS helped me overcome this “epic mom fail” by walking us through getting an emergency passport appointment, negotiating with the airlines to reschedule international flights, and being available around the clock to offer advice and wisdom each step of the way. They even helped me while on their personal holiday. This is a company that stands out from ALL the rest, making sure my daughter rejoined her travel group missing only one day of her tour. Thank you, ACIS!

ACIS has been my go to for leading educational tours through Europe. I went in 1989 as a student and led my last trip in 2022. They have always had the highest standards and will jump to fix anything unpleasant that comes up unexpectedly. Their guides are experienced and fun, the hotels are good and the food is great. But the best part is knowing just how helpful everyone in support roles can be. Planning is stressful and ACIS tries hard to alleviate as much ad possible.
I had never been to Japan before and so having the opportunity to go on this global conference was amazing. Our tour managers and guides were excellent. The hotels were all lovely. We got to see all the sites we could see in the time allotted, and the food was amazing, especially the last night. I really enjoyed the karaoke towards the end of the trip so we could all have fun with each other. Thanks ACIS for really making this the trip of a lifetime!
Great support from start to finish. Good itineraries and fun activities.
I LOVE ACIS! Having traveled with other companies, I believe ACIS is the best in the biz. I have taken several trips with them and plan to continue. This last summer one of my students noted how much better their experience was with this trip versus a trip the previous year with another company. Time is the most valuable commodity in travel. ACIS finds central lodging, saving valuable time!
ACIS takes care of everything anyone could possibly think is necessary. All personnel involved in the planning as well as the actual traveling experiences is considerate and organized and looking out for all travelers' safety and well-being. Trips balance educational content and experiences with free time for travelers to explore on their own. The ACIS website provides comprehensive information for all parties involved in the planning and traveling for all trips. Communication, both through webpages and ACIS staff is always a priority. We have 25 years of experience with ACIS and will not trust any other educational travel company.
I recently embarked on the journey of a lifetime with ACIS through the enchanting cities of London, Paris, and Amsterdam with a friendly tour guide, amazing itinerary, and centrally located hotels with access to public transportation. From the historic landmarks to the vibrant cultures, each city had its own unique charm. Our journey began in the regal city of London, where history meets modernity in the most exquisite way from the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, that took us back in time, surrounded by the tales of kings, queens, and the Crown Jewels. A stroll along the River Thames, with the iconic Tower Bridge in view, and the Shakespeare Theatre. Next was the romantic city of Paris, which was incredible. The Eiffel Tower's shimmering lights stole our hearts. Everyone took pictures as they approached the Tour as well as from the top of the Eiffel Tower. The Louvre Museum houses timeless masterpieces like the Mona Lisa. Montmartre's bohemian atmosphere and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica provided breathtaking views of the city's skyline. And of course, an evening cruise on the Seine River allowed us to witness the magic of Paris illuminated by the city's lights. Next was our warm and welcoming Amsterdam with its charming canals, colorful houses, and a laid-back vibe. In conclusion, my ACIS summer trip to London, Paris, and Amsterdam was a whirlwind of cultural immersion, historical exploration, and unforgettable moments with the guidance of our 24-hour tour guide. Each city was distinct and beautiful. This journey has truly ignited a passion for travel to Europe among our ACIS tour participants. They said they cannot wait for the next adventure with ACIS.
I have been traveling with ACIS for 9 years, and the experience just keeps getting better! The London, Paris, and Rome itinerary is like a "Europe's Greatest Hits" tour. This 12 day adventure takes you to the iconic cities and sites that are on the bucket lists of many people, such as Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Duomo in Florence, and the Colosseum in Rome. Although included in the itinerary, I think the two days spent in Lucerne were certainly a delightful surprise to my group. As one of my participants put it, "Switzerland is the place I never knew I always wanted to go." Our kind and knowledgeable tour manager, Jo Lurie, attended to our every need, and, as promised, the hotels were nice and centrally located and the local cuisine was delicious. My group had such a great experience that half of them came home and registered for my 2024 trip to Greece!
ACIS has always done an exceptional job at planning and organizing my trips since I began traveling with them in 1998. For many years, Tom Heigham has worked with me and has been incredible at putting together my trips, answering all my questions, and making sure that I and all who travel with me have a wonderful and memorable experience.
