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

His expertise and attention to detail are extraordinary

Hi Greg,

Just returned from Paris with Paul G. with Jacques as our etr guide. His expertise and attention to detail are extraordinary and we had a seamless experience thanks to that. In addition, he was patient and flexible, adjusting his descriptions in French to the level of our students. He represents your company extremely well. We were lucky to have him.

VN and PG traveled with their Middle School students to Paris with etr in May 2012

Luc was an excellent leader!

Hi Annick,

I just wanted to thank you so much for organizing this trip. All went well, as was expected. The students really appreciated the activities and enjoyed every bit of the trip.

Luc was an excellent leader! He was great with the students – just the right balance of keeping them in line and adding a touch of humor. We appreciated his maintaining a good relationship with the bus drivers, hotel staff, and others he encountered. And probably most of all, we all really, really appreciated the excellent choices for the evening meals. He found restaurants that had both ambiance and good food. The hotel staff were very helpful and the hotel itself was both in a good location and the rooms were great.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sirah

Hi Andrea,

Thank you once again for all of your work in arranging the Italy trips.

(etr tour leader) Sirah was amazing! She continues to make the trip easy for us by smoothing the way the entire time. I truly appreciate the fact that she engages with the chaperons and students so wonderfully. She is also amazing with everyone we meet along the way to ensure that our group is treated well. She is a gem and I would not want to do this trip without her.

Thank you so much for managing to get the restaurant on the beach for the second night in Paestum. It was wonderful and I hope we’re able to do that again next year. It was one of the highlights for teachers and students alike.

I’m really pleased that you’ve been able to book both groups at Palace for next year. It was wonderful and the location is great. Sirah and I both had rooms that were tiny. I hope they were complimentary as I think they were closets before they changed them into single rooms. Everything else about the hotel made up for this.

All of our local guides were excellent once again. Would love to keep the same for next year. Pizzeria Franco was a great new addition! The Pizza School was once again excellent and a wonderful way to end our trip.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sirah and how wonderful she was on this trip. You are very lucky to have her working for you.

Thanks once again for all of your work and planning! I’ll be back in touch after June 6th with some additional feedback.

JT and her middle school students again explored Regione Campania with etr in May, 2012

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.

BL, and his IB Visual Arts students from Hong Kong explored Paris & Barcelona with etr October 2012

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.

MS’ 140 students and 14 teachers explored Istanbul Paris and Greece with etr in February 2013

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!”
