    My daughter participated in the 3-month, full immersion semester in ******, ******. All we had to do was book her flight and Arcos took care of everything. The Arcos representative was there to greet my daughter at the airport and drive her directly to her home stay. She had a private room and wonderful authentic meals. The onsite director gave a tour of the city so the kids felt comfortable in their new town. It was a short walk to the University each day where she enjoyed the small, personal classes and getting to know the teachers. The cultural events were the true highlight of the semester. My daughter experienced so many different things and learned so much about the history, artisans, ancient ruins, cuisine, national ************************** The weekend excursions were a fun and exciting part of the learning experience. Arcos has a very well-planned agenda for the students. This was truly a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    Arcos is a fantastic program and helped us lead a safe and enlightening journey abroad. I'm not sure how much of the trip Arcos was directly responsible for, but I do know they made it relatively easy to get to our destination (in terms of paperwork + training + finances) and worked fabulously in conjunction with my university to provide us with what was probably the coolest thing I will ever experience. Thanks, guys!

    Arcos provided an exceptional educational travel experience for my students in **********. The course was thoughtfully curated to combine adventure, education, and cultural immersion.One of the highlights of our trip was the immersive learning opportunities that allowed students to engage with the rich biodiversity of **********. Guided tours through lush rainforests, visits to wildlife sanctuaries, and interactive sessions with local experts provided invaluable insights into the country's unique ecosystems. The cultural aspects of the trip were equally enriching. Interactions with local communities, visits to historical sites, and participation in traditional activities such as dancing and cooking lessons allowed students to gain a profound understanding of *********** culture. The accommodation and transportation arrangements were impeccable, ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone throughout the journey. And most of all, our tour guide, ******, was amazing! She was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her love for **********. Her enthusiasm and expertise added a layer of depth to each excursion, making the learning experience all the more engaging. Students were encouraged to ask questions, and she patiently provided informative and interesting answers, creating an environment conducive to curiosity and exploration.In conclusion, our educational travel experience with Arcos surpassed all expectations. It was evident that meticulous planning and a genuine commitment to education and cultural exchange were the driving forces behind the success of this trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Arcos Learning Abroad to other educational institutions seeking a transformative and unforgettable journey for their students.************************************

    I lead five physical therapy students on a study abroad trip to *********************** near ****** City. The students were provided a unique opportunity to engage in study and humanitarian (physical therapy) services to an underserved community in a nontraditional healthcare environment. The trip enriched the students appreciation of the ******* healthcare system, alternative indigenous medicine, and the cultural diversity of ******, ******. My thanks to Arcos on organizing and supporting the trip. The staff was knowledgeable and professional. But, more important they insured that the communities and our needs were met. Arcos, consistently went the extra mile to make this a trip of a life time for the students.

    My 16 y/o daughter came to me with the Arcos website asking if she could attend a two week culinary and language study in ******, ****** in July 2022. I liked the idea, and having missed two years of class trips and summer camps due to COVID, I felt it was deserving. But I wasnt comfortable committing until I knew more about the company I would be entrusting my daughter to. After a 30 min Zoom with *****, where he shared the credentials and experience of the Arcos team, we gained the comfort needed to send her. ****** had a great time on the trip; which was titled Tastes Of ******. They went to a different house each day to watch and help the woman of the house prepare a different meal. There were 5 girls in the program, each got their own room on what sounded similar to a B&B type place. They were escorted by a program director to each home, which made them always feel safe, and came in handy when the local women spoke Spanish faster than the students could absorb. And enjoyed the excursions to the local markets and tourist sights. All in all a great experience and a good value, from a trusted company.

    Thank you, ***! I appreciate the trust you put in our program. I felt very fortunate to meet your daughter and other participants when I was in ****** and peek in on what they were getting to see and experience. It's a big step to do a study abroad program as a teen and I was so impressed that the your daughter was willing to go outside of her comfort zones and explore such an interesting topic as the culinary arts. ****** is certainly the place for it! Thank you again for sharing your comments.
