It's The Results That Drive Us!

I've been traveling for almost 30 years as an educator (and also lived and worked in a theatre in New York City for five years) and this is by far the most kind, educated, professional, and passionate staff! They take special needs and do exactly what is asked. Absolutely amazing, especially Liana and Michael.

We've been on 9 trips with ETA and I've got to say we have not ever been disappointed! They are a pleasure to work with for the planning and our guides always make us feel like they can fix any little problem that we might have. The trips are seamless ad well put together.


Robin McCarthy

We took over 40 people to NYC a few weeks ago, and I can't say enough about how fantastic the entire experience was. And Jo Young, our tour guide, was amazing. You guys handled everything from beginning to end and made our jobs as planners/chaperones so much easier!


Miranda Kuykendall

New Jersey

The trip widened his view of the world, his confidence in himself, and, he tells me, his facility with Spanish. The range of activities was great, and he came home a couple inches taller than he left (maybe literally!).
