Beautiful places, Unique nature, Well-oiled machine.

We loved all the scenic places, and seeing all the unique flora and fauna. Our AHI Guide Peter Gibbs did an exemplary job of handling all the details regarding timing, luggage handling, meals, etc. Our drive Warren ____ showed that he really cared about our safety, well-being, and enjoyment. Both became cherised members of our group.

The trip was complete!

The trip was very good. We covered of a lot of the country in the 2 weeks of touring.
The hotels were all great, except it seems I was aways assigned the room closest to the elevator or stairs at every hotel. The restaurant choices were great (except 1 restaurant in Blenheim for lunch that was very slow with serving causing us to be very late the next event). The tours were all very good. The bus drivers were great, especially Warren who drove us around on the south island. Our tour guide (Peter) was very good, very knowledgeable, good natured, patient, polite, and always thinking one step ahead. His voice was quiet, which made it difficult for many to hear him... it would have been nice if he used a more commanding voice.

Wonderful experience

Very well organized with a very knowledgeable tour director. We learned a lot about the history & culture of Finland (and Estonia) and what life is like there. And the Northern Lights Village was a delight. Unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate so we couldn't do the dog sled ride, but we had a great time at the kennel

Arctic Magnificence

All staff involved takes very good care of us - responding to questions - offering guidance.
And the guides (both our constant guide and the local guides) are fantastic. Virpi - on our most recent trip - Arctic Magnificence - was absolutely wonderful. And our Professor, David Fike was terrific as well - leaving us wanting more lectures!

First experience with AHI

First experience with AHI. They kept us informed, were responsive when we had questions, and the resulting trip was fantastic. Our tour director, Antonio Ruiz, was tireless and knowledgeable. The hotel was one of the nicest we've ever stayed at -- excellent location, super-attentive employees.

The tour was all I hoped it would be

The tour was all I hoped it would be, one city, throughly visited with highlights of art, architecture and culture. Our guides were amazing and so knowledgeable that it made the tour much richer. Antonio Ruiz was a perfect host, making sure everything promised was delivered. We even had a problem with flights and pickup but he efficiently handled it all. The hotel was a luxury to be enjoy and I appreciated that we were booked into a Marriott, know for great service and beauitful hotels. It’s central location made it easy to visit others sites not in the tour. All around it was a bucket list experience. many thanks for putting it together. Our agent, Telisha Taylor, was so helpful whenever I called with questions or concerns.

AHI is not my choice

We paid for our trip early! We were greatly disappointed there was no one from Notre Dame. The group was VERY small. This could have been a plus, but it ended up to be a detriment. We ended up arranging things by ourselves. The trip probably should have been canceled. We did not get what we paid for with your company!!!

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations, and our Director of Customer Service has reached out to you to discuss these concerns. Please know that sponsoring universities do not always send a representative on every program. We trust, though, that you enjoyed the companionship of your fellow alumni traveling with you, along with your seasoned Travel Director at the lead. We hope that making your way through Barcelona’s historic sites with a small group created a more leisurely experience and are confident that the advertised itinerary was well met.

Organized and informative

Our trip to Finland was very organized and very informative. I love trips where I learn about the culture of the place I am visiting. And I also love learning about the different cultures within a country.

The only down side was there were two of us traveling together. When we got to the airport we were totally different seats and rows. NOT what we asked and thought we paid for.

Thank you for the four-star review of your program. We are happy that you enjoyed the excursions and enrichment activities on the itinerary. You and your travel companion did purchase and receive tickets for the premium economy section. Some airlines charge additional seat assignment fees even in Premium Economy, and we noted you chose not to purchase specific seat assignments in advance. Please accept our apologies if this was not explained to you clearly at the time of booking. As a result, the airline assigned your premium economy seats at check in. We hope that your flights were comfortable and this did not mar your experience on the program. Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another journey.
