I’ve had the pleasure of traveling with ACIS both as a trip leader and a chaperone. The experiences, opportunities, and accommodations provided by ACIS are unparalleled. I’ve traveled to half a dozen countries with them, and they have never ceased to impress. We even had our tour manager make a mid-trip schedule adjustment to visit a 13th century castle that wasn’t even a part of our itinerary. ACIS recognizes the significance of international travel and makes sure that everyone, from students to chaperones, has a life changing experience they will never forget.
Last year my daughter traveled with ACIS and, from a parent’s perspective, I could not have been happier with the process. She had a wonderful time-saw so many things as they made their way from England to France to Germany and made some tremendous friends along the way. What impressed me the most was how easy and comfortable ACIS made us through the whole process. We always knew what to expect, had all of our questions answered in a prompt manner, and never for a moment felt uncertain as we sent our daughter away to another continent. I was also impressed with how all of the hotels were in the city centers of their destinations. For example, her hotel in Paris was just a couple blocks from the Arc de Triompfe-that allowed them to see so much more.
Great hotels, restaurants and tour managers.
Hotels are centrally located, restaurants served local food and TM Jo was amazing.
Fantastic support throughout the trip, before departure and during travel.
Students really enjoyed the cultural connections of cheese tasting in Normandy and Cezanne workshop in Aix-en-Provence.
Liz Rees is great to work with, extremely helpful and very responsive! She thoroughly helped me create a fantastic custom itinerary!
ACIS is the best! I have traveled with them on multiple occasions and they take care of everything start to finish. Whether it’s meal planning for travelers with allergies, or hotel requests, they always go out of their way to make sure travelers’ needs are met. One of the many benefits of traveling with ACIS is that they put you up in high quality hotels right near the city center. As opposed to being on the outskirts of town in a potentially risky area, you are always placed in an urban center within walking distance of cultural destinations and places to eat. If you are thinking of traveling by yourself or with a group, ACIS is definitely the right choice. There is something for nearly everyone, and you know what you’re getting from the very beginning. You’ll never get surprised by an additional charge for something that should be included in the first place, it’s all laid out for you in the itinerary. I can’t wait to travel with them again soon!
I just returned two weeks ago from our absolutely amazing trip with ACIS to Greece and Rome. It was the "Greeks & Romans" tour. Tom, in Boston was great with all of the planning for the trip and answering questions during the planning and recruiting process. From the moment that we arrived in Athens, our Tour Manager, Anna, took great care of our group. She went above and beyond for us. She took the time to explain everything that we would be doing and always talked to me and my Assistant Group Leaders about any decisions that needed to be made.
I have taken several other trips with other tour companies, and ACIS has been the best experience I've had. I will never go back to another tour company. I brought 35 students, 5 parents, and 3 other chaperones. This was the largest group that I've ever brought and I can't believe how smoothly everything went.
I'm already starting to plan for my next trip, hopefully in April of 2025. Thank you, ACIS!
ACIS is great about taking care of all the details. As an educator and trip leader I appreciate this. I was able to enjoy our school trip to Ecuador, together with my students and chaperones.
The hotels and location were great. My students were able to naturally interact with the locals. The food was amazing. The people at each of the restaurants and hotels, as well as the guides went above and beyond. The quality of the meals, the hotels, and activities were awesome. I highly recommend ACIS travel to anyone thinking of student travel.
I also appreciated the flexibility of our tour guide and his connection with not only the students but the chaperones. We felt like we were with family.
I had peace of mind the entire trip, even with an emergency one of our chaperones had.
I will travel again with my students, with ACIS!!!!
Thank you for such an incredible and smooth experience!!!
