GBWhat a breeze! I cannot thank First Abroad enough for helping me coordinate my trip to Australia! After reading all of the positive reviews about FirstAbroad, I decided to choose this company and I am happy I did! No regrets whatsoever. Not only was the whole process cut out for me but the customer service is exceptional! Leah, my Travel Services Coordinator, was very detailed and addressed all of my questions and concerns promptly. I couldn't have gone on this trip without her! Thank you FirstAbroad.

GBI'm going to South Africa! I knew that I wanted to get away from home and explore the world. After looking at a lot of trips and companies, First Abroad seemed like the best bet. I have yet to have an issue and my trip expert has been very knowledgeable about how to prepare myself for the trip. I leave on January 3rd!

GBMy last-minute planning savior from insanity. I planned my trip through first abroad only a month in advance and the trip I would have preferred to go on was already booked and they sent me many alternatives that were almost identical for me to go on. They responded very quickly and were very friendly. My trip was amazing and I didnt run into any problems. Well worth the money and would recommend to anybody.

GBOrphanage volunteer: Made the process smooth and easy The thing I appreciated the most about First Abroad was how available the staff made themselves to answer my questions about my trip to Tanzania. I was never a pest or being inconvenient. There was no question that was too silly and I could never ask enough. I always got a timely, friendly and helpful response. And the enthusiasm with which they delivered it (not to mention the enthusiasm simply shared over my trip) made me feel supported through the entire process. Even after the US office I was working with closed and all contact moved to the UK (a move which left me feeling nervous and apprehensive) the transition proved seamless. My only quibble would be that some of the information provided to me about my volunteer service project was outdated. One of the orphanages I hoped to volunteer at had shut down, and another had moved. The information about being able to access money also made it seem like it would be much more challenging than it was. Overall, I would say that the packets sent out to volunteers could bear freshening up periodically to avoid panic (reading it made me feel like I'd be walking into an endless swarm of mosquitoes and blackouts with severely limited access to any funds despite the suggestion not to carry any on me) and frustration upon arrival onsite. But I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the staff and their passion for the work they do.

GBGreat experience with First Abroad My travel services coordinator Leah was SO helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. I thought it was really nice to receive an email a few days into my trip checking in to make sure I arrived and was navigating safely. She was super nice and seemed genuienly excited for me and my trip. I felt prepared and well informed for my trip and overall Australia was an amazing experience. I would definitely book through you guys again and recommend to friends.
