All the kids loved (etr leader) Kent and he really works hard to make sure everyone was happy and safe. The kids loved the food. Overall, the activities were a good balance of culture and fun, and yes the last day at the beach was a perfect ending, all of us really enjoyed it.

As far as feedback, I thought that (etr leader) Angelica was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and her personality fit into our group very well. All in all, it was a great trip.

Thank you for all of your efforts and assistance in setting the trip up. I know that our group will have lasting memories of the experience

Both tours were great as usual and we appreciated the meticulous preparations. Flamenco course was excellent. The students were very engaged. Both etr Prigram Leaders were good, as usual. Hugo got complimented for his engagement with the students.

Thanks again for your hard work, for your flexibility in adjusting to all our suggestions and for an open communication. I am looking forward to our next trip.

The students had a wonderful time and Lizette (our etr leader) was brilliant. The students really liked her and they were really interested in all her knowledge about Berlin. They were constantly asking questions as they wanted to know more and she was more than happy to answer them and give further information. I too found the visit really engaging and eye opening. Considering they dealt with pretty heavy topics they remained upbeat which shows how well organized the trip was, so thank you. Her knowledge of how to navigate Berlin was also very impressive.

The amount of emails I have had from students and parents thanking us for the Jordan trip and saying how it was a trip of a lifetime is overwhelming! Every single student came home happy (sad for leaving) and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. (etr guide) Raed was amazing, the students loved him. He was knowledgeable and took the time to learn their names, interact with them and speak on a personal level with them.

(etr leader) Stephen undoubtedly made the trip what it was. From the very beginning he was welcoming, friendly, kind, funny and caring. Not only did he make the trip a pleasure for the teachers due to his energy and willingness to support and care for the students, but he became part of the CSS family. The students adored him and were genuinely sad to say goodbye

I cannot thank ETR enough for ensuring the students had the best trip. All activities and hotels were well planned and the food was FANTASTIC and it was just simply amazing.

All in all, it was an awesome trip. Our students had a life changing experience.

The schedule was great. The kids were active the entire time, every day. From a chaperone/teacher perspective this was great. The mix between service, learning and adventure was good.

(etr Program Leader) Craig was outstanding. He was really patient with the kids and had a lot of really great stories and knowledge about the history of the country. He genuinely engaged the students and helped them with whatever they needed help with. He also pushed them when things were difficult. He was a fantastic guy to have shown us around. Modest, quiet, super great guy. I can’t sing him enough praises.

Thanks for facilitating a wonderful trip for our students.

Good Afternoon Andrea,

As always, the trip (to Washington DC) was wonderful. The new hotel had a great area for us to gather to brief the kids on activities that was out of the way of other guests.

All activities went as planned. Excellent restaurant choices. We enjoyed (not the best word for a cemetery!) Arlington National Cemetery, Gettysburg as always, Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, the Chesapeake & Ohio National Park, and the US Capitol.

But the best part was having Kent as our group leader once again! It’s like seeing an old friend each year. the kids absolutely love him, and many said it was the best part of the trip.

Thanks Andrea, for once again giving us a great international travel experience!

Hi Mel,

Thank you for all of your help in getting this trip organised, the students really did have an amazing time experiencing South Africa for the first time.

Thanks for facilitating a wonderful trip for our students.

Hi Melvina,

I know that here is a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes and we really appreciate all the hard work that you put in. I would also like to add some comments about Catherine. I don’t think we could of asked for a better guide. She is an amazing lady. The most important thing to me was her ability to connect with the kids. She was also proactive and always thinking ahead and her local knowledge of France was so beneficial. She was simply “Outstanding.”

Thanks for helping us arrange a wonderful trip. ETR is terrific!

Dear Andrea & Greg,

Hello! Please find the notes for this years Middle School Trip to Greece. It was an absolutely amazing time – as always! – and special recognition goes to (etr program leader) Alan, (etr guide) Irini and Dimitri Konstanopolous (our bus driver!) for making it such a success. They are an incredible team, and I hope that we can have all three back for next year!

Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to begin scheduling our 2017 trip with ETR soon!
