Having organized nine trips to Greece with etr since 2012, I can confidently say that
their programme consistently delivers an exceptional experience for our students. What
sets etr apart is the balance between exploring iconic historical sites – from the
Acropolis and Ancient Agora to Delphi, Mycenae, and Sparta – and engaging in
bespoke, hands-on activities such as Greek dancing, pankration demonstrations, hoplite
re-enactments, and even a football match with local Spartan students. These moments
bring history to life in a way that simply cannot be replicated in the classroom!

etr has always worked closely with me to tailor each trip to our specific needs, and their
organization, attention to detail, and professionalism are second to none. The quality of
their local guides and on-the-ground representatives is outstanding and having worked
with the same etr programme leader on all nine trips, it genuinely feels like a partnership
built on trust and friendship. Our students even receive personalized T-shirts with their
names in Greek, which speaks to the care and thought that goes into every aspect of
the experience.

Quite simply, this trip has become a cornerstone of our Middle School programme, and
one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences we offer our students!
