Another amazing trip with ACIS. Words alone do not suffice to describe how wonderful ACIS is our community. Everything was excellent from customer service to operations. We look forward to our 31sr trip with them. Thank you ACIS!
The best trip. The best tour company and tour manager! Everything was perfect! Hotels with style, delicious food and everything was well planned. I will keep traveling to new adventures.
ACIS has been committed to making travel not only fun, but educational.
My daughter (13 Yr old) just went to Paris and Madrid with her school. She had a fantastic time with her friends on this trip and learned so much about history and herself. This experience has changed her for the better. She came back more responsible, mature, and confident. Her confidence has shown most in how she has handled herself moving to a new school this year. When talking with her, she stated that a new school is easy since she was able to navigate successfully throughout foreign countries and different languages. ACIS made this possible through their thoughtful planning of excursions and activities and excellent logistical planning so that even unexpected events (strikes) were not an issue and did not detract from the overall experience. I will 100% be sending her again before she finishes high school.

ACIS LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATION. LOCAL TOUR GUIDES AND TOUR MANAGER.
Great experience because of the itinerary. The tour guides, transportation and hotels location.
I have traveled with ACIS three times and am preparing our next trip with the company for spring 2024. My experience with ACIS was great because the company supported teachers as well as students and families in a exceptional way. ACIS was responsive to all of our requests, and all travelers expressed strong pleasure for all phases and aspects of the trip (food, accomodations, 24/7 helpline, tour manager, and transportation). I give ACIS the highest recommendation possible because I have not experienced the same level of customer service with other travel companies that have helped me prepare overseas trips.
As always, this was an amazing Global Conference. ACIS provided great structure and organization with excellent and knowledgeable local guides as well as a great ACIS support team. They managed to fit lots of experiences into a relatively short time. All accommodations were centrally located and comfortable allowing us to navigate easily in our free time. Even though everything we saw was amazing, considering this was an adult trip, a little more down town would have been nice. The schedule was extremely tight and not much time to relax and enjoy our surroundings was given. Thanks ACIS for providing this incredible opportunity!
I was reassuring having a well organized and detailed itinerary. ACIS booked us quality hotels, an experienced bus driver, and a well organized tour guide. Meals and excursions were top notch. When ever there was an issue it was handled right away. The pretrip was planning was so easy. Tom Heigham was exceptional to work with planning this trip. I can't say enough about his professionalism and his deatiled planning.
I just returned from a trip to MADRID. ACIS did a spectacular job with all aspects of the trip. The hotel was EXCELLENT…It was centrally located and just seconds from the famous Grand Via. Breakfast was included and the was a tremendous variety to choose from. The trip was A++!
This company is second to none. They have impacted the lives of over 300 of my students as well as my wife, myself and our children. As we all know, you get what you pay for, however the ACIS experience is beyond worth every penny and more! Simply put: THEY DELIVER ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always believed that you don't know what's really on your travel bucket list until you're there, on the ground, doing it. In this case, Morocco was a hidden gem that awaited us. Little did we know how much we would enjoy the adventure. In short, the Morocco trip was tremendous. The leadership from Radouan, our tour guide, was stellar. His confidence, cultural fluency, sense of humor, and timing were spot on. The accommodations and meals were fantastic. Every single detail on the itinerary was thought out so well. Each day was packed with meaningful cultural encounters, one of a kind moments, or great 'memory makers.' One caveat for prospective travellers: this was a HOT trip. If you're adverse to hot weather, you might want to think twice about going to North Africa in July.
We had a jam-packed wonderful time! A big thank you to Jeannie Page who was with us every step of the way, and to our wonderful tour manager, "Nacho" for making sure everything on the trip went smoothly.
From the beginning, Jeannie Page at ACIS was so very helpful and supportive. I owe the trip to her. Everyone I encountered at ACIS was friendly and seemed happy to be a part of the company. We had great accommodations and meals. The excursions were thoughtful and well-organized. Our tour guide, Ignacio was AMAING. Overal trip of a lifetime and ACIS is life. Will travel with them again!
Our trip through Paris, Normandy, and the Loire Valley exceeded every one of my expectations. I cannot imagine taking students abroad with a company other than ACIS, because they allowed us to experience such a profound and eye-opening adventure with ease, patience, and an abundance of care. These moments-turned-memories were only possible because of their acute attention to detail, from the authentic French meals at dinner to a lesson on Impressionist painting by the Seine. Most of all, their tour managers are a wealth of knowledge and ours certainly had an immeasurable impact on the trip itself through his ability to engage students with his cultural and historical expertise. He modeled what it means to be a lifelong learner so brilliantly that we have requested him to lead our group again next summer. All in all, ACIS made it easy for me to be fully present, and to fully enjoy these moments with my students.
I had always wanted to take students on a trip to learn about the things they see in my history class, and I finally did it this summer with ACIS! I have had a lot of travel companies reach out to me to help me organize trips before, but ACIS really stood out because of how much attention to detail they put into every element (the hotels, food, itinerary). I saw it all as I was planning for the trip, but the actual trip itself was even more packed with memorable experiences than I could have imagined! Lastly, they were also the most supportive people I could have hoped to work with -- when traveling (whether on your own or leading a trip like this) there will always be hiccups, but I never once felt alone, Jeannie and Bridget were always there to provide support. Quentin was also a phenomenal tour guide, super helpful and made it a fun experience for everyone. Totally recommend ACIS!
Dom, our tour manager, knocked yet another tour out of the park! He is knowledgeable, fun and funny, and he's great with the kids! The fact that we requested him specifically for 2023 after he did such a wonderful job in 2022 should say it all. Cara at ACIS has been my go-to girl for years now, and I remain very pleased with that arrangement. She is hardworking, up front, friendly, and she always arranges a fantastic experience for my students and for me. She works very hard to make my trip visions become reality, but she also keeps my expectations grounded when necessary, and I appreciate that balance.
Our tour of Spain with 25 students was an unparalleled success! Our tour guide Raquel was experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful, comfortable equally in managing the tour’s schedule and making additional accommodations for how to maximize our experiences in each city. This is my third ACIS tour, and I wouldn’t dream of traveling with any other company!
