ETSI provides experienced tour planners who understand the requirements of traveling with students. Most of our group leaders are educators. They have dedicated their careers to making a difference in the lives of students.
Students learn valuable academic lessons and create memories that last a lifetime. They learn important lessons about being on time, being dependable, being a good roommate, budgeting time and money, learning to get around in a new city and adapting to different lifestyles and cultures in different places.
Travel is a great way for students to become more in touch with the world around them.
