This was my second trip with CHA and I was pleased with the value of the trip. We were in country for 8 days and saw and learned so much. Our tour guide and trip planner were very helpful and patient with our planning needs.

CHA- The education aspect is incredible!
I have taken 3 trips with CHA since 2008. I traveled with students to Spain, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. My students and I learned so much on these very highly educational trips. With having traveled to 3 different countries, through this company, I can see that CHA sets up great accomodations for the traveler and provides the traveler with experiences that will last a life time. The guides not only offer information, but truly help to immerse the traveler in the culture as much as possible. An example of this was when we arrived in Spain, our guide immediately offered us a chance to experience the opening night of the Bullfights. In Costa Rica, in addition to all of the extremely adventurous activities we did on the itinerary, we were able to take a catamaran out in the Pacific and go snorkeling. The food in Costa Rica was phenomenal and the accomodations there were beyond what I had expected. In Puerto Rico, the accommodations were nice as well, however we had a guide that was unfortunately having some medical issues, which made things extremely stressful for my group. This was not the fault of CHA, however. The food in Puerto Rico was mediocre. The itinerary didn't seem to be as full as the itinerary of Spain or Costa Rica, but I think that this may have been due in part to the guide, and the country we chose.
Overall, I had 3 very successful trips through CHA. I will continue to choose them in the future to travel with, as they are very professional, organized, and easy to work with. These trips truly shape who my students are and the direction they take after they graduate. Thanks so much!
My agent, Irena Prus has been incredible throughout the planning of all of these trips. She is always on the ball with helping me to stay organized and does her best to make sure that my trips are successful.

CHA knows how to plan an enjoyable and educational tour.
I chose CHA because my daughter had participated in a college tour to Italy with them. She had a wonderful experience. I did, too. I was very pleased with the accommodations, the tour planner, the tour director, and the local tour guides. I liked how well our time was balanced. I didn't feel rushed and appreciated that we had time to tour, to shop and to rest. I was also impressed by the variety of food we had. One of the highlights for me was my students being able to have a night out enjoying Tapas. If I took students on another trip, I would not hesitate to use CHA.
