GBACIS came to our rescue with diverted flight to Paris! Our recent direct flight to Paris from SFO was diverted due to engine issues. With long hours at the airport, re-routing, and ticketing issues, ACIS stepped in and covered day hotel booking & reimbursement. ACIS also was available by emergency call to facilitate airline booking and hotel reservations. I felt reassured knowing what to do with ACIS when we had baggage issues and delays. If ACIS wasn't so supportive, I would have completely had a melt down.

GBCustom 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.

GBWe just returned from our second trip… We just returned from our second trip with ACIS. Our Regional Director was very information, made herself available to answer any questions, and guided us through the process as this was my first time leading a trip. Although both trips were incredibly different from one another (went to Italy last year and Japan this year), the trips were very organized. There is a lot to process, but we visited many important locations. I liked how the trips were catered to my content area, art. Even though I had photography, ceramics, and painting/drawing students, there were activities and events that was interesting to everyone. Make sure you make that clear to ACIS before you decide on your trip!

GBAmazing trip to France Amazing trip to France! I used ACIS to plan a trip to France for a group of students ranging in age from 7th grade to high school seniors. We had a fantastic guide, great meals, centrally-located hotels, knowledgable guides, and exciting activities. It was a phenomenal trip and I will use them again in the future!

GBAthens and the Aegean I have travelled with several companies over the decades; ACIS is by far the best, most reliable company. The itinerary was good; the tour manager in Greece was wonderful: local guides were terrific. The Boston office gave much important and needed info prior to the trip, and responded immediately to questions.
