Custom Route with Short Exchange for Language Teachers!!! We did a 2024 Spring Break Tour of Germany, Switzerland, and France and had another great experience with ACIS from start to finish. Beth was very helpful with selecting a popular tour from the catalog and helped my school customize the route to include two days at a school in Germany where we did a language exchange with students learning English. Our tour manager, Sam Harker, was integral to the smooth organization of the trip. Flights, hotels, and meals were as advertised and families were able to use the ACIS website well. Although the tours are expensive, it's so nice to know ACIS does a great job with vendor quality and follows through with teachers to make sure they are pleased with the experiences. One additional note: We were able to apply a student voucher from a cancelled March 2020 trip on our tour! My former student's parents were so relieved to be able to sell that voucher to a current participant to get almost all of their refund processed. I was really impressed ACIS allowed a voucher to be applied to an account so many years later.

Giovanni is the best tour guide. Our tour guide Giovanni made the experience one that I will never forget. He knew so much about everything and never failed to answer any questions. He MADE the trip as good as it was. Without Giovanni Costa Rica would not have been anywhere near as fun.

Smooth sailing and confident adventuring I had a wonderful experience taking my students to Costa Rica in March 2024 with ACIS. Throughout the planning and travel process, ACIS was there for me every step of the way. I had one point of contact with the company, so I never had to wonder who to reach out to with questions or concerns. Any questions I had were always answered clearly and in a very timely manner. I had the additional support of an Academic Travel Advisor -- someone with firsthand experience as a teacher taking students on trips with ACIS -- who even came to multiple pre-departure meetings to offer support and help answer any questions. I never worried about the safety of my students or chaperones and I knew that, if something did come up, it would be taken care of. Our Tour Manager was supremely knowledgeable and helpful so that we always felt supported and empowered to have a great time.

Terrible Experience in Paris We went to Paris with my son's class. We had three tour guides, didn't follow the agenda, and didn't even get to see sites such as The Louvre. I've tried contacting ACIS numerous times over the last month about my experience and received zero response.

ACIS is the clear winner ACIS is the clear winner for school trips. The hotels are located so close to all of the sights, the restaurants have incredible food, and our tour manager (Dimitra Neonakis) was amazing!! The team worked hard to make sure we had the best experience possible!
