On 9/16/08, John ...See MoreI have traveled with Georgia Hardy Tours several times. What sets them apart is their customer service and attention to detail. There is always someone in their office to speak to if I have any concerns.
I would strongly recommend staying away from big organizations like EF and travel with Georgia Hardy instead

On 1...See MoreWe have started using Global Travel Alliance and they have been very affordable and very good. They have customized each of the trips we have put together. In the past we had problems with other companies because they would not allow any changes to their "set trips" and would not let us pick the things we wanted to do.

There's lots of considerations that go into the price of a trip.
Many companies give you a 'cheap' trip but you end up with a lot of out-of-pocket expenses like lunches, tips, airport bag handling fees, and even some admissions. Plus the cheaper companies never guarantee the cost upfront and can raise it significantly at the last minute.
Some of the companies that seem more expensive are all inclusive and so the students only need to bring money for their souvenirs. The all-inclusive companies tend to have more interesting added-value curriculum-based educational components, better service, and safety protocols, as opposed to being geared to barebones sightseeing.
If you let me know what your objectives are for your travel program, I'll be happy to direct you to an appropriate travel provider or tour operator.

I’m looking forward to having you stay in my home. I have a healthy, family oriented, clean home. It’s located in Tynehead area of Surrey, only moments away from all you need. The physical bonus is it’s a completely renovated house. ☺
The other bonus is that I am a hard working professional who is artistic and music oriented. I have a little cat named Baby who follows me everywhere. I love animals, outdoor activities and people. I am outgoing and a responsible and caring individual. I have a lot to offer with respect to providing both you and I a healthy and positive environment. This is a warm and beautiful home with central access to everything. You are welcome to enjoy yourself here and think of it as your home too.
Your benefits to me are that you are respectful with regards to my home-based office and personal space. You are diligent about the care, upkeep and protection of this home. You are a kind person who loves animals and likes people. You feel comfortable being open and honest with any situation in your life. You are outgoing and trying to succeed in your life to become the best you at all times.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
