I had a great experience with rustic pathways. With rustic I went to Portugal and Italy. The one thing that made the trip great in both places was the people. I also think that rustic did a very good job with selecting activities for us to do.

Thank you so much fro your review! We're thrilled you had such a great experience in both Portugal and Italy.We hope to travel with you again soon!
This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had! This was my first time traveling with RP, so I went into it not really knowing what it would be like, but it truly blew me away. My flight to the program was canceled so I was a day late, but they still made sure there was someone at the destination airport to greet me and get me to the rest of the group. My leaders, Inika, David, and Henrike were definitely the reason that made the trip so incredible. Always felt safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!

We’re so glad you had an awesome time in Japan, and that you got to share it with your best friend! It’s great to hear the leaders made the experience even better and that you enjoyed exploring with new friends. Thanks for being part of the adventure and we hope to see you again soon!
My son—an avowed homebody—went to Japan with Rustic Pathways. He was having so much fun that he wrote us several times asking to stay in Japan. The communication from Rustic Pathways was very thorough from start to finish. They made sure we had all the information that we needed at each step of the way. The group dynamics in his cohort were amazing—in every picture the kids had big smiles on their faces. Rustic Pathways took care to budget both fun and learning so it wasn’t a drag on their summer, but so that they also deeply engaged with the culture. My son was already interested in Japanese culture and history. The best part of this program is that his interest came alive through this experience. I am a university professor and have experience leading students abroad and know how difficult it can be to balance different needs in a study abroad type of context. Rustic Pathways did a great job stimulating cultural knowledge in these kids.

Thank you for sharing, we are so happy to hear this!
“The best experience of my life” are the exact words my daughter used. She loved every moment of this trip. The friends, the fun but most importantly she loved the service project. It was very purposeful.
