Testimonials

Our greatest satisfaction comes from the effect that this trip has on our travelers. For many, it is the first time they realize that “language is power.”

They feel it while in real conversations with native Spanish speakers, and when a new cultural experience opens up to them through their tour. It is this little spark that we love to leave in our travelers.

• A heartfelt thank you note from a CT teacher - January 2011

• “Thanks for everything. This trip tops all trips I've taken with students over the last 26 years. I have nothing but good things to say about you and all the staff at Vamonos."- Tim Westgate, Allegan H.S.

• “I was VERY impressed with your company. Almost every location I kept thinking, "I never would have known to go here. Where are all the tourists?” I really enjoyed the "inside" tour that only a native would know to give. I would have never found those places or even known I should visit them. Very personal to the island!” - Rebecca Perry, Westminster Academy

• “In my 21 years as teacher, coach, and advisor to high school students, this field trip was superior to all.” - Darcy Caldwell, St. Andrew's School

• "My son totally enjoyed the trip, and I must extend my greatest thanks for an experience that was well-organized, educational, and flat out fun. As a parent with some extra demands and concerns, I felt that you listened to my needs and were prepared and watchful while my son was in your care. I felt that all contingencies were covered and he was able to enjoy himself knowing that. You accomplished everything that was on the itinerary, and it seems there was a perfect balance between fun and educational. Thank you!" - Parent of a recent allergic child

• "The students learned a myriad of skills beyond speaking Spanish... perhaps most importantly, the students learned to be world travelers and to respect a culture very different from their own. And what, at this time in our history, could be more important than that?" - Teacher chaperone
