Testimonials "A La Carte" is the perfect name for your company because you offer so many choices, and I get to play a very active role in the design of our annual trips. You listen to my ideas and wishes attentively, and you also suggest wonderful possibilities that I never could have imagined - activities and locations that are far out of the realm of typical student travel. You are passionate about what you do, and you treat each trip as a very exciting and special project. We have a blast brainstorming together to create a trip that delights my students and teaches them so much. I am so happy to travel with A la Carte each year! Thank you for all you do for me and my students. CS – California At our school, we have been working with ALCT for several years with the utmost satisfaction. Rene Piard has always been willing to create trips according to our imagination. He goes the extra mile to propose exciting immersion activities for our students: horseback riding, kayaking, hayrides on a farm, staying at an international student hostel, as well as discovering excellent and varied restaurants for our meals. ALCT handles all billing to parents, travel insurance and transportation with excellence. It is with no hesitation, whatsoever, that I recommend ALCT to you! MD – Maryland I had used other companies for 5 tours. They can be okay if you have a large group of 40 or more. That way you get to "control" the tour. With my smaller groups, I was at the mercy of the other larger groups. Plus EF tends to book hotels that are far away from the cities you want to visit. EF also has one meal choice for everyone for dinner. Although I thought the meals were fine, the kids hated the fact that they couldn't choose. I have switched to a much smaller, much more personable company: A La Carte Travel. I have taken 8 tours with A La Carte and have never been disappointed. As a small company, they really want your business and so will service your every need. Best of all, I now get to design the tours the way I want to. No more being at the mercy of other groups. No more one-size-fits-all meals. No more hotels far from the action. I am completely pleased. I would give Rene Piard a call. MM - Colorado Springs, Colorado I have used other travel companies, but the staff at A La Carte Travel worked overtime to make sure that my students and I had the support we needed to experience the trip of a lifetime. From working with me in planning our itinerary, to suggestions for fun meals and activities, Rene at ALCT made certain that we felt we were "getting our money's worth." This summer will be my 4th trip with ALCT and I wouldn't go back to any other company. PS-Abilene, TX A la Carte Travel communicated with us frequently, answered questions the same day, sometimes even within minutes. Rene was always available for anything we needed and even gave us his personal cell number while we were traveling. Our trip to Spain was incredible down to every last detail. We were AMAZED because we have taken student trips for years with other companies and we had just come to accept that "glitches" in the trip were unavoidable. Well, we can honestly say that with Rene and A la Carte, there were NO glitches at all. Everything was amazing from the tours, to the guides, to the homestays, to the complete attention to detail in the materials given to us. I have recommended Rene to many other teachers and our school will continue to exclusively travel with A la Carte. We are sold! CP-Fowlerville, MI |
