"In my opinion, you can never go wrong with NETC. I have traveled with NETC four
times with students, and I attended three teacher's conventions as well. All seven
trips were fantastic. I have also traveled with CHA and EF. Both CHA and EF offer
budget tours, but you can really tell the difference. I definitely recommend NETC.
Some differences are:
Better hotels. Other companies had us staying in hotels that were not centrally
located. This made night activities hard to take, and wasted a lot of time. Plus,
the students did not really get a feel for the atmosphere.
Better tour guides!! NETC tour guides actually do go the extra mile for you.
My CHA/EF tour director would not help us book a Flamenco evening in Madrid because
we did not purchase it from the company. The NETC guides will help you no matter
what. All of my NETC guides have actually suggested free time activities and accompanied
us to the places.
Educational activities. NETC makes the activities and excursions more meaningful.
The Tour Director gets you involved by acting out scenes from history and including
the kids in the skits. If you go to Spain, there is a cooking demo that the kids
love, and painting class in Paris. My kids loved the extras. I felt guilty that
for my '01 trip I tried to save money by switching companies. I will never do that
again, because the kids really do enjoy the extras.
Local food. The food really is better. Other companies offer chicken and
potatoes every day. NETC tries to get you out with the locals as much as they can.
Students get to try the local cuisine. They really put forth a lot of effort with
the restaurants. On every trip I have met a person (or more) from NETC's Boston
office who is staying at the hotels, going on the excursions, and eating at the
restaurants to make sure all is well. Last time in both Paris and Madrid, we were
accompanied by a Boston staff member on one excursion and one dinner.
Extras. All rooms are for triples or quads. If the numbers work out so you
only have two to a room, so what with NETC! With CHA, they charged my students extra
if this happened. If you schedule to travel on a Thursday and NETC bumps it to Friday,
they do not charge you the extra fee. CHA bumped my trip to Friday and charged every
student an extra $40!
As you can tell, I really enjoy traveling with NETC. No matter what, you will get
a good program. NETC is just better!"
