ACIS Educational Tours レビュー 869

ACIS offered a wide variety of tour options for our trip Costa Rica in 2024. The itinerary was interesting, and I really liked the service component. I felt that communication about expectations about different parts of our trip could have been better, but overall, they were a good company to work with, and I am traveling with them again this spring.

I've led two student tours and attended one global conference with ACIS, and I couldn't have been happier with my experiences. Every member of the team has been supportive, responsive, and flexible with a wide variety of requests and needs. I can't speak highly enough about our program consultant, Beth, who has spent countless hours on the phone with me teasing out itinerary options and adjustments. Their tour managers are also incredible
- deeply knowledgeable guides, exceptional advocates for their groups, and overall just FUN people.
I am particularly impressed with ACIS' response to a student medical emergency. They went above and beyond to ensure the student's treatment and comfort despite significant hurdles in a remote location, and they called multiple times to check in until the student had recovered. Their service would be worth its weight in gold for this reason alone.

I looked in to a few different travel companies. ACIS may not be the cheapest, but they are the best. I have been incredibly impressed with their staff. The lodging, food, cultural experiences, and tour guides are phenomenal. They have a wide array of itineraries and the ability to customize to meet your group's needs. After traveling with them for years, they have earned my respect with how they conduct their operations.

I’ve been traveling with ACIS for several years now, after switching from another company that offered only average experiences — and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! ACIS consistently delivers exceptional trips. The hotels are always centrally located, close to all the major attractions, and the meals are delicious, culturally authentic, and plentiful. Their tour managers are knowledgeable, fun, and keep students engaged every step of the way. Every trip feels seamless and memorable — ACIS truly sets the standard for educational travel!

ACIS is by far the best travel company available to us as Teachers. We trust ACIS because of the longevity of the company, their amazing tour managers and guides, excellent location of hotels, fun and educational excursions, clear and prompt communication, and all the perks! My colleagues and I have traveled to Costa Rica and Spain with ACIS, and we consistently receive excellent reviews from students and families! They feel safe, comfortable, and they come back the next year to travel with us again! I am so glad we learned about ACIS. I would recommend them to every Teacher or leader who plans to travel with a group.

I have traveled with ACIS to Barcelona and have lead student tours to Italy, Greece, and Costa Rica. They make the process very simple and their tour guide guides are excellent!

Always an amazing experience. From the location of the hotels, to the food to the amazing quality of the tour directors, ACIS has it all!

I would never travel with another company! ACIS prepares the perfect itinerary for both trips I have taken so far! I have asked parents and students who paid for their own trip and they said it was worth every penny! Students commented on how great the food was and how not only did they have the most amazing week of their lives they also learned so much! That is part of what I love as a teacher, they expand their independence and confidence while connecting what they have learned about over their time at school. Cannot wait to continue to partner with ACIS trips to help provide this life changing opportunity for students!

I have been traveling with ACIS as a group leader/assistant group leader for over 20 years now, and I highly recommend them for educational group travel. From the planning stage through the actual trip, ACIS is there to make the experience as seamless and amazing as possible. I've tried another company once before but they just couldn't compare! ACIS pays attention to all the details (hotel location, authentic food, amazing guides, etc) and provides a trip where you feel like you got your money's worth! To me, the greatest testament to ACIS being a fabulous company and providing an amazing experience is that I have families who come back to travel with me time and time again.

The gold standard in student. travel companies! I tried several travel companies before discovering ACIS, and I’ve never looked back. Since joining, I’ve traveled with them to Costa Rica, Japan, and Peru — and each trip has been nothing short of exceptional. From thoughtfully chosen hotel locations and incredible food to flexible itineraries tailored to meet my group’s needs, ACIS consistently delivers above and beyond. They’ve set the standard for what educational travel should be, and I’m proud to be a loyal ACIS traveler.

I led two tours this year and two last year with ACIS going to: Ireland, Italy, Spain & Egypt! I love the cultural activities that put is in touch with unique art and history. I know I can rely on them for excellent service, so I can relax and have fun with my groups!

ACIS is the best educational travel company! I traveled with them as a student many years ago, and I knew it was the only company I would consider as a teacher. ACIS is constantly improving to deliver the best travel experience for students and teachers. Their tours offer the perfect balance of planned activities and free time. The quality of the centrally located, clean, and safe hotels, direct flights on major airlines, and high-quality and fresh meals truly enhance the travel experience. The tour managers are so personable and fun and have an excellent rapport with teenagers and adults. The program consultants make the planning process a breeze. I have led 4 trips with them and and planning my 5th. Many of my students have enjoyed their travel experience with ACIS so much that they have gone on a 2nd or 3rd trip with us even after they have graduated from high school! If you are looking for an educational travel company that will make your travel dreams come true, ACIS is the company for you.

I have gone on four trips with ACIS. If you are looking for the best company to use for student travel. Look no further! They have the best hotels, meals, and tour managers! Your adults, and student will have the time of their lives!

I've done four trips with ACIS and am currently planning a fifth. The tour managers are always top notch and take great care of you. The hotels are central and clean. The food is tasty, and they are good at accommodating dietary restrictions. I always feel very safe traveling with ACIS and have recommended them to numerous friends and colleagues.

I’ll be taking my first trip with ACIS this summer and my experience to get this organized, recruit students, and prepare for traveling has been amazing! My rep has been quick to respond to emails and has been wonderfully patient! I had no idea how to do this but their website and resources have been perfect. I can’t speak highly enough about ACIS.

A wonderful, fabulous company to work with - from start to finish, you and your group are in the best of hands! If you are looking for a beyond excellent travel experience for your students as well as yourself - this is the one and only company to use! EVERYTHING is taken care of for you with the most careful attention - Flights, hotels, activities and exceptional tour managers and guides. Your students will benefit from the singular experience of absorbing different cultures with fresh eyes to educational opportunities and fun activities! Their parents will be impressed and thankful for the opportunity given to their child. I have been traveling with ACIS since 2016 and have returned each time anticipating where I will take my students next! If you have concerns that something may go amiss, I can wholeheartedly assure you that whatever situation arises, you will be quickly and competently cared for. I can attest to the extraordinary service we received when faced with a medical emergency on our last trip. The response from the travel team in both Europe and the US was immediate, and we were on our way home in less than 20 hours. Our deepest thanks and appreciation to Michele in London, Suzie and Jessica in Boston. Definitely looking forward to the next adventure!

Our school attended the Paris, Provence, and Barcelona tour, and from start to finish, it was an absolute success.

We especially loved being in the city centers, which allowed our students to truly experience the culture and energy of each location. The accommodations, meals, and tour schedule were all top-notch, well-organized, and thoughtfully planned.

Our tour manager, Servane, was phenomenal—her knowledge, professionalism, and warmth made a lasting impression on everyone. As a French native, she brought a personal touch and deep insight to our experience in France.

I would highly recommend ACIS to any school considering an educational tour. They exceeded our expectations and created memories our students will never forget.

Our Bell' Italia trip was very well planned. From start to finish we did and saw so much - a great experience for my students. Our tour manager, Lara Corner, who has much experience in her role, was truly phenomenal in marshaling our group through the trip: dealing with all the logistics of getting museum tickets, negotiating at restaurants and hotels, speaking Italian to the bus driver, and more. Lara even helped me plan an impromptu trip to Trastevere after dinner one night. Lara alleviated any concerns I had during the trip.
I thought the hotels were well located near the main destinations in Rome, Florence and Venice. And the hotels were very comfortable and provided hearty breakfasts. I wish that we had had about an hour or so more in Pompeii, but otherwise the itinerary was a good balance of sight-seeing and free time. Can't wait to plan the next adventure!

I just got back from the Greeks and Romans trip with 22 students and two other assistant group leaders. Our flight from Rome to Chicago was delayed, then cancelled, then delayed again. There was no way we would make any connecting flights from Chicago to Green Bay. I had a contact in the Rome office and one in the US office who helped me every step of the way and did everything humanly possible to get us back. There was another group traveling with a different company who got limited support and had to organize transportation on their own. This experience solidified my choice in ACIS. I will never travel with another company!!!

The hiccups aside, this company plans out everything and asks for input before, during, and after the trip. Everything is tailored to the group's needs as much as possible. It's so worth the money for peace of mind!

I can't imagine traveling with a better company! So happy we chose ACIS! Our travel consultant, Beth, is fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, responded quickly to any questions, and worked with me to offer the best experience to my students. The entire trip was amazing from beginning to end: nice centrally-located hotels with a great variety of choices for breakfast, authentic food for dinner, very organized visits, and of course, an exceptional tour manager. Our tour manager, Philip, made our experience more enjoyable than we could have ever imagined. My students loved traveling with him!
