Testimonials

As the Provost/Administrator at Nebraska Methodist College who as participated on many trips with our students, our partnership with Ed-Ventures has consistently exceeded our expectations with their meticulously curated itineraries to seamless logistics.   Ed-Ventures has proven to be a reliable and visionary partner in delivering transformational educational journeys.

 

One of the standout features of EdVentures is their commitment to educational depth.  The expertly crafted programs not only align with our health sciences curriculum but also offer unique opportunities for students to apply their academic knowledge while reviewing a rich history of other countries. Their attention to safety and well-being is commendable.  Ed-Ventures goes above and beyond to ensure the health and security of our students during their travels.  Their robust safety protocols, experienced guides, and comprehensive international support systems provide peace of mind to both students and our college administrators.

"Your flexibility, the relationship with Ed-Ventures and your unlimited care is what keeps me coming back. It truly comes from my heart!! Send anybody that is not sold by your company my way! I am a very satisfied customer for 20 years!"

"In 2002, Clarkson College chose Ed-Ventures because we needed a company that would work closely with us to create highly customized tours that would appeal to both students and adult learners. As healthcare students and professionals, our travelers have unique needs and interests. Clarkson requires tours that are both culturally rich and meet certain learning objectives. Ed-Ventures has never disappointed. They are even able to set up hospital tours for us.

 

Thanks to Ed-Ventures’ ingenuity, flexibility, and attention to detail, each of Clarkson’s thirteen academic tours has been a rousing success. This success is marked by the fact that many students  now travel with us as alumni, that our president and his wife are among our numerous repeat travelers, and that the trips now include students from two other area colleges. Clarkson’s Academic Travel Abroad program would be nowhere without Ed-Ventures to lead the way!"

Ed-Ventures has worked with us at Concordia College for some time, and I’ve had the pleasure of organizing four trips with them so far. Whether I’ve traveled with them to Europe or  Turkey, they’ve been great in helping us make all our travels “trips of a lifetime.” They cover logistics, provide excellent local guides, and solve problems. They’re not just a travel agency, they’re friends who care.

“I used Ed-Ventures to put together a trip to Oberammergau in 2010 and I was very satisfied. My guests had a wonderful time! The trip was well-planned and Larry and his staff did a great job of leading the tour. He gave a lot of background information on the sites visited which enriched the travel experiences. I would definitely recommend Ed-Ventures to other companies interested in working together on one of their trips.”

"Our experience with Ed-Ventures, Inc. has been excellent.  We’re partnered with them on seven alumni trips and have two more planned for next year.  They deliver exceptional service both before and during the trip.  Their staff members work closely with our faculty leaders to ensure a top notch experience for our travelers.  We’ve always been very pleased with the prices, local guides, accommodations and the food.  I would highly recommend Ed-Ventures, Inc.  for  any of your alumni travel programs."

“As Manager of Travel Trends Ltd. in Lenexa, Kansas, I asked Ed-Ventures to conduct a 21-day tour of choir singers from my church singing in cathedrals in four countries in Europe. From the handling of the air components, ground transportation and professional guides we worked with along the way, to the wonderful hotel selections, restaurants and sightseeing excursions prepared for us...it was a dream tour. After 30+ years in the industry and watching the many changes that have taken place, I started my own home-based travel consulting business in 2009. As I continue to grow and seek group business, there is not a doubt in my mind that I will choose to work with the fine professional people of Ed-Ventures.”
