Pros

Nice staff, decent students, located in a popular area.

Cons

Curriculum is repetitive and non-academic, management, false promises of 'higher pay and insurance'. Some students have to travel over an hour by bus and train. Some students live in homestays of 15+. Majority of students are younger than 19 and may think they are on vacation.

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
