As a chaperone, I found 100% of what AE did perfect. Excellent, professional, fun guides for every group we took.

Excellent, Jeffrey! We're happy to hear it. Thanks so much for your review. -Your Academic Expeditions team
As a trip coordinator, Academic Expeditions makes my job extremely easy. All I have to worry about is promoting my trip, assigning rooms, assigning buses, and ensuring we have enough chaperones. This is extremely nice as I am a special education teacher as well so it doesn't add on too much more responsibility All the logistics are taken care of my Academic Expeditions. When we go on our trip, it's more of a vacation for me with minimal effort on our part as everything is taken care of by them. Thank you so much for your organization and communication!
