We understand that just as no two teacher’s desired outcome for a program is exactly the same, so we never create the exact same itinerary twice

The orphanage experience will be remembered by everyone

What a trip! (etr tour leader) Hung did a fantastic job and the orphanage experience will be remembered by everyone. The closing ceremony was so very touching…everyone was in tears. Our kids feel really good about what they did.

Thanks for following our wish list and putting together such a wonderful WOW Week trip for our students.

BD and her 20 students completed a six day etr community service project in Hanoi in February 2013

Well managed and productive

The trip organized by ETR proved to be well managed and productive. The students, as well as chaperons had a great time visiting the different historical sites. The food was delicious and we got a real taste of the authentic French cuisine. Most of all, I appreciate your cooperative and accommodating attitude towards our various request changes.

MA and her 40 students explored the French capital in February 2013

I want to express our appreciation

Just a quick hi and thanks for etr’s service; the trip went very well and I will be responding to Fanny’s request for more formal feedback as soon as possible.

In particular, thanks for your prompt responses to my string of texts from the Eiffel Tower (great cell phone reception up there!) about the possibilities of a refund to the student who was unable to take part in the trip.

On behalf of the student, their parents and the school I want to express our appreciation for the refund of you have offered. Many thanks and best wishes.

Thanks to you and your team

Our MS trips were a big hit thanks to you and your team. We are now looking at getting things going in the HS and naturally, ETR was the first option that came to mind.

etr tour guides Hung and Huang were magnificent

This is an email to say a huge thank you on behalf the Vietnam field trip that took place between 17th-25th October this year.

The whole trip, from start to finish, was extremely well organized and thoroughly professional.

I have supervised many international field trips during my time as a teacher and this was up there with the best. The tour guides Hung and Huang were magnificent…they at all times put the safety and security of the students (and staff) first and were very insightful with their knowledge and had a great rapport with all of us – even when singing Karaoke!

I personally had a truly magnificent experience and loved Vietnam and I know that Mhairi felt the same way. Could you please pass on this email to Greg (the Director of etr) tours and ensure that our appreciation of the whole trip (and particularly the high caliber of the tour guides) is acknowledged by everyone at etr. I would recommend etr wholeheartedly and without reservation to any other school based on our experiences in Vietnam.

We are organizing a variety of ways to celebrate the trip and will keep you informed as those things unfold (including my interview by a Vietnamese TV and radio station at the Museum of Ethnology!)

Many thanks again for a wonderful trip that has had a profound impact on the students and staff that attended.

Students from Doha ventured to Vietnam for a service learning house build which also included exploring the capital, Hanoi, as well as a celebratory overnight cruise on Ha Long Bay.

Le voyage était vraiment super

Le voyage était vraiment super et nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir avec nos guides, Xuyin et Ky, ils étaient vraiment intéressants, drôles et très humains. Le trek était vraiment magnifique, la nourriture excellente et l’organisation parfaite et flexible. Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience et pour vos excellents guides et hôtels, franchement c’était le top.

Les enfants étaient ravis et nous aussi merci pour cet excellent voyage. Je repars au Vietnam cet hiver avec mon père c’est dire si ce voyage m’a plu. Je vais certainement vous recontacter pour un voyage avec ISL l’an prochain !!!

Swiss based students and their teachers explored aspects of rural and urban Northern Vietnam over 10 days in October 2012

Next year in Crete!

We had a great trip. The etr tour leader Mari-Ann and the local guide, Angela, were excellent. I think that I have worked with Mari-Ann and Angela four times now, and I would be happy to travel with them again.

When Angela, Mari-Ann, and I parted after the trip, it was with these words: “Next year in Crete!”

The senior class students from this UK based school traveled with etr to Greece in October 2012

Just wanted to say thanks for arranging an amazing trip for us in Vietnam.

Lizette was excellent

Yes! We had a wonderful time in Prague, what a beautiful city. (etr tour leader) Lizette was excellent, thank you both for accommodating our disrupted schedule. The Black Light Theatre was excellent.

Thank you again for your help in putting together a wonderful trip.

AB and 24 students explored historical and contemporary Prague over seven days in October 2012

We are very pleased with your company

The trip you arranged for us was great!!! We just got home last night and are still trying to recuperate. We must admit that we filled each day with so much that we walked 12-15KM each day (I measured it with a pedometer). The students loved it all, with each student having their favorite places (sleeping with the sharks, Sagrada Familia, musical fountain, etc.) – but one that seemed to be unanimously liked most was the zip line and ropes course.

You absolutely provided us with an excellent guide; Ana took great care of us. She went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed every activity, no students got hurt or lost or pick-pocketed. She negotiated with the hotels, restaurants and shops to get us the best service. We would definitely request her services again.

In summary, we are very pleased with your company and look forward to using it again. We look forward to meeting you face to face at NESA in 3 weeks.

RH together with students and fellow staff explored Barcelona and Girona with etr in March 2013
