The tour exceeded my expectations! Much of what I teach was reinforced during the tour, from language, history, culture and food to
songs and sites. The LEAP! activities we did were terrific, particularly the cooking school in Madrid. Our Tour Director was full of energy, enthusiasm and knowledge and was able to relate very well to middle school students.”
