Food
Having all the tour guides was really fun. They showed us stuff we probably wouldn't have looked for and explained it very well. Having the dinners scheduled really helped a lot because there was one day were dinner wasnt scheduled and we had to choose from a list. One thing that could have been better was the dinner choices. We had pizza and pasta a lot, which was fine but kinda wanted more local food we usually don't eat. So like have a small menu, have pizza and pasta options for the picky eaters and more local foods for the food explores.

Loved our tour guide and the experiences. Wished there was a little less traveling on the bus
Trip with Friends great. ACIS not good.
I will never forget my trip with my friends. I made last long memories, but the ACIS experience was awful. That’s why I gave it a three. I would not recommend ACIS to anyone or any school.

Dear Riley, I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy the ACIS's services. I am very happy you had a great time with your friends!! I looked through the feedback from the tour and saw mostly excellent feedback except for the Venice hotel. I wish the whole trip had been excellent and I hope that you keep traveling and enjoying those experiences with your friends and family, Laura Smart SVP Customer Experience
Quality hotels
Quality hotels, food and an exceptional guide made our trip as wonderful as it could have been. Even when the unexpected happens, it is handled with professionalism and care. Thank you ACIS!
Great trip, communication could be better.
As usual, everything was perfect during the trip. I must, however, point out that I wish the communication was more fluid while preparing the trip.
Amazing first visit to France
Amazing first visit to France! So glad I went with ACIS, the options were amazing and the tour guide was hands down the best! Thank you, Fabien, for all your hard work and dedication to making out experience top notch! Whether it was predicted weather or a strike closing down the Opera House for the day you didn't waste anytime drumming up a new exciting plan for our group. Beautiful country, beautiful people and amazing food!

I did not like the Vista Verde Lodge
I did not like the Vista Verde Lodge. The exterior is the hotel was in need of repair. There was no AC or fan. Although it was cool at night some form of ventilation would have been nice. There were large bugs- spiders and cockroaches in several of the rooms we stayed in. We complained to the owner and they moved two rooms but did not clean the remaining rooms and they stated they would do. We also missed several activities at the beach because of weather which was unfortunate.

Dear Maureen, Sorry to hear that the hotel was not good!! We had good evaluations in the past but looks like this hotel has gone down hill recently and due to your feedback we will not use it again. I am happy to see that the other hotels were good to great. I especially love the one in Manuel Antonio that you stayed in... I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip. Thank you for your feedback, Laura Smart SVP Customer Experience

Wonderful tour guide
Our tour guide was wonderful. Thanks Phil!!
Wonderful experience
We saw a lot! We were busy every day. There were beautiful churches, castles and amazing food. We got a glimpse of life in France while walking all over. I loved the entire trip. Our tour guide, Fabian, was the absolute best!! He made sure that we all had the best experience ever.
Tour was nothing short of amazing albeit very rushed!!!!
Tour was nothing short of amazing!!! Our guide was topnotch, our driver and transportation were on point and our accomodations were great!! Would love if they would have had traditional foods in the countries we visited as part of the menu. Our meals were very random. Ie: an italian restaurant in Germany. Also, it seemed very rushed at times. We arrived at Dachau Concentration Camp 45 minutes before they closed so did not get to see even half of it.

The tour of Japan was fantastic!
The tour of Japan was fantastic and May was an excellent guide. The trip provided an excellent overview of Japan. The only change I would have preferred would be less time for shopping and a bit more time at some of the other sites that we visited.
