I got to see so many places and sights in such a short amount of time, and made so many great friends along the way. Thank you for making this trip possible!

Definitely the best 24 days of my life, without a doubt; new friends, amazing experiences and a ton of fun – I am so thankful for this trip!

This trip was phenomenal! I loved the mix of towns, local food, and meeting fellow alumni. I made lifelong friends and can’t wait to travel with AESU again.

I enjoyed our tour guides’ willingness to help and suggestions to immerse in local cultural activities.

The tour guide was spectacular and went above & beyond every day!

I got engaged on the trip, which was amazing, and the other people on the trip were amazing.

Was an amazing trip of a lifetime. Would highly recommend.

I liked not having to plan things, but if I had, I would have done some things differently.

Good mix of free time and events.

I liked hanging out with the other people on the tour.

I liked that a little bit of everything was included (tours, free time, local meals). Marlene was fantastic.

Enjoyed the route, tour sights, included meals and events.

I loved the free time and flexibility; I got to do a lot of what I was hoping to do on my own.

Loved the free days.

I really liked our tour director. She made the trip very enjoyable and informative. Her city bulletins were very helpful.

Wonderful. Totally loved it!

This trip was a once in a lifetime experience. It was truly amazing. I loved the sights, people, food, and many cultures!

Great experience!

I liked how organized everything was.

Loved the structure of morning walking tours and afternoon free time.

Loved seeing so much!

Loved the variety of culture and the sites.

The people on the tour and the tour itself were awesome.

I Loved the balance of free time and tour guides we had. I also enjoyed the dinners already planned for us.

I absolutely loved the Essential Europe trip! I didn’t want to come home!

It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone! We got to see so much in just 25 days.

Activities and free time balance was perfect!

I saw everything I wanted to see and more.

Very well coordinated– lots of logistics were seamlessly put together– great itinerary, too.

Tour guides were great. Went above and beyond my expectations.

I enjoyed meeting people from all different parts of the U.S. and from all over the world.

I liked the chance to meet other people who recently graduated college and it was really fun to travel around to many different cities.

I enjoyed all the stops on the tour because they are most of the essential places in Europe to visit and provide the opportunity to experience that city long enough to know if you want to return.

Loved being with other recent grads.

I liked the fact that we were given a lot of time to explore the cities ourselves. There was much time to enjoy the local ‘hangouts rather than just seeing all the tourist spots.

I loved all the cities chosen & the breakdown of the trip (ending being really relaxed in Greece.) Perfect length of tour.

Greece was awesome. I really enjoyed myself on this trip.

This tour exceeded my expectations!

AESU office was wonderful and very helpful.

The array of countries and places we were able to visit were wonderful. Lots of new knowledge.

It was an amazing way to see Europe for the first time.

I really enjoyed this trip. Not only all the cities and the huge variety but also the variety of people on the trip. Every day was new and exciting.

I don’t think I would have gotten out as much of Europe for the first time if I went by myself. It was definitely worth it.

The tour exceeded my expectations.

It was a great introduction of Europe.

This was the best way to do it. We saw most of everything. There would be no way to do all the activities without a tour director. Much better than traveling on my own.

This is by far one of the most memorable and special experiences I have had in my life. It was a great opportunity to be able to travel Europe not only with a group of students my age, who have almost all just completed that same stressful life experience as I, but to also share the common bond of all being from the same school, made it even better.

The tour was perfect…the group was all close in age and had similar interests…We all had a great time together. Thank You!

It was my dream come true and I couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

AESU makes traveling fun and carefree. Safety is the most important part of travel w/ me and I felt very safe, and well taken care of, thanks to our Tour Director!

I had a wonderful time on the trip. I know I would have spent twice as much and seen only a fraction of what I saw if I went on my own.

Well organized and the people we met were wonderful and became our friends. Thanks to all for such a great European trip.

Not only was this a vacation, it was a wake– up call for me to see the world!

I had so much fun! Would recommend to all students who are graduating. Amazing deal for everything we saw and did!

There was the perfect balance of group activities and free time – the itinerary was very well thought out and moved at a great pace!

I loved how we got a little taste of everywhere!

Loved how the tour got me to sample so much of Europe and see things that I would never have been able to on my own.

This was a fantastic introduction to Europe and I had an amazing time seeing new places and meeting new friends.

This was the best vacation. I had a wonderful time and made lifelong friends which made it even better.

When booking my trip, I was searching for a balance of structured tours and adequate free time, and I found that with AESU!

It was my first time taking a tour like this. It was a great experience and fellow travelers made things even better!

The tour director was great, and that fact that I came along and met all new people was the best way to do it.
