Testimonials

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

We appreciated the meticulous preparations.

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
AK and her 100 Middle School students explored Andalusia with etr in June 2015

A life changing experience

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.

The trip to Washington DC was wonderful.

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!
KP and her Middle School students explored Washington DC with etr in May 2016.

Thank you for all your help in putting together an amazing trip.

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!
DS and his middle school students participated on a nine day exploration of France in March 2016.

It was an absolutely amazing time

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!

Good feedback from the students about the Lugano trip

Hi Andrea,
There has been lots of good feedback from the students about the Lugano trip. They enjoyed the mixture of activities and the teacher chaperones thought the guide was very good. And thanks for all your organization and all your flexibility with our last minute changes.

Many thanks for ETR's excellent organisation in the Vietnam trip.

Dear Andrea
I enjoyed it immensely and felt the benefits our contribution as a school gave to the community. Hung and Huang were wonderful and it was a pleasure working with them.

We have our dates for next year and will discuss them with you soon.

Thanks again!

A nice journey back on the train from Venice

Dear Fanny and everyone at ETR,

All of our students arrived back at school this afternoon after a nice journey back on the train from Venice. We had a wonderful time and really appreciate the efforts you and your staff made to make the trip a success. Paola was a wonderful guide and really looked after us during the week.

I am already planning something similar next year. My current thoughts are Rome or possibly Florence! Or possibly New York. Or Buenos Aires. Or Siberia! I'll let you know. Thanks again.
