The tour was excellent from the beginning to the end. The hotels, meals, tours and guides were all excellent. Our tour leader Alessandro was phenomenal. Cha did a great job with the tour. I highly recommend them! I've been with them for 30 years and they are the best in the business.

I took 26 students to Italy over the March 2016 break. The hotels were wonderful, the food was great and our tour guide Paola went out of her way to ensure that we had a smooth, informative and fun visit. We did the "Gems of Italy" tour. Being able to walk to everything in Rome, Florence and Sorrento made all the difference. Our gondola rides in Venice were also pretty special. Irena, our tour agent back in the Sates, was very easy to work with and made the whole process run smoothly. This was our 5th tour with CHA. We will definitely use them again!

I have been dealing with CHA personally for five years, and have chaperoned for ten years before taking over the trip and never had a mishap. Everything has always been handled efficiently and professionally. All my students come back having had great experiences and always boast about how great the trip was, thus creating interest for the following year!

"Haste ye back" was the sentiment shared by my thirty three participants on CHA's tour entitled "The Highlander." Our common experience of Scottish culture included a bagpipe street parade in Edinburgh, optional haggis as a side for breakfast and shortbread for tea, glistening waterfalls throughout the lush, green countryside, virtual reality experiences at the Culloden Battlefield and Loch Ness, and costumed actors demonstrating everyday life at Stirling Castle. Our comfortable, clean, well-located hotels sometimes had added features, such as, a two-storied grand staircase or attractively presented gourmet food. Our tour director and coach driver efficiently orchestrated our tour, and they even tolerated our group singing "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond" as we viewed the famous loch. We experienced history first hand of Mary, Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and Robert the Bruce, and shopped for clan plaid items at unique Scottish woolen mills. This was my twenty first tour with CHA, and once again, they provided my travelers with memorable, enriching experiences.

Bravo! Our high school students have been successfully traveling to Europe, annually, with CHA for over three decades! CHA employs only the most professional tour guides, finest motor coaches, and best located hotels that each European destination has to offer. As an art teacher, my favorite aspect of these guided tours has to be the emphasis on art, architecture, and local culture. With CHA you feel like a VIP because each morning your group bypasses long lines into museums, ancient ruins, cathedrals, even the Vatican! The first time I turned the corner and saw David in Florence I became a statue in my tracks! Imagine, in the evening, as the sun sets, you smile at your students enjoying gelati around a Roman fountain in the piazza. That is when you realize that you are in the moment of La Dolce Vita! This school year I will lead my third CHA tour. Whereas last spring we visited Spain and Portugal, this spring we are going to London, Paris, Florence, and Rome! Mamma Mia! Ya know, Disney's Epcot is fun, but thank you CHA, and especially Ivy at CHA, for giving my students the real deal, and memories that last a lifetime! Cha, Cha, Cha!

My group of 6 traveled to Spain in June. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were great and our food was excellent. All the local guides were outstanding. I have traveled with CHA 12 times. This company always delivers what they say they will. I highly recommend CHA!

I have travelled with CHA for numerous times and received the best care with experienced Tour Consultants at home and very knowledeable Tour Guides abroad. The hotels are always conveniently located (sometimes in town itself, other times right next to a subway). The itineraries are packed with great cultural and educational tours. My students and teachers traveling with me always come back with great memories and a wonderful experience thanks to CHA-TOURS.

As of today, I am a loyal CHA customer. Our tour "London, Paris, and the Alps modified" was excellent. From the planning stage to departure back to the States, everything ran smoothly. The hotels, meals, and restaurants were all above average. CHA offers a quality product for the price! I can't wait to travel with them again soon!
