“My daughter traveled to Costa Rica with the Global Citizen Program, and she didn't just have a wonderful time; she was also pushed outside her comfort zone in a supportive, nurturing environment. I was blown away by everything the team packed into nine days. Every single day had an element of education, cultural exchange, adventure, and fun.

The organization and communication from the Global Citizen team were above and beyond, both leading up to the trip and throughout it. My daughter got home a few days ago, and the stories keep coming: the things she learned, the food she tried, the people she met. This was such a worthwhile experience for my 14-year-old, who came back with more confidence and a broader perspective on the world. I can't recommend this program and their team enough.”

“I have been traveling with students, families, adults, etc. for over 20 years and have taken over 1,000 people out of the country to date with various companies and I have to say The Global Citizen Program is a cut above the rest!

We enjoyed amazing centrally located hotels, wonderful educational tours, classes that everyone raved about such as tile decorating, a flamenco lesson and a paella cooking class and we had the best Program Director, Lily ,who went above and beyond everyday.

Please believe me when I tell you that the other companies don't even compare. If you've traveled other companies, give The Global Citizens Program a shot and you'll immediately notice the difference!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience on our recent trip to France and Spain! Every detail was perfectly planned, from the great hotels and delicious meals to the unforgettable activities. Our students especially loved the cooking and painting classes.

A special thank you to our wonderful travel director, who truly went above and beyond. Cyrielle's energy, organization, and care made the trip smooth, engaging, and unforgettable for everyone. She connected so well with the students and made each day fun and meaningful. We are so grateful we got to spend time with her!

Thank you for providing a truly unforgettable journey. We can’t wait to travel with you again!”

“From the moment we began planning through all the preparation and taking off for Costa Rica, I knew this was going to be an amazing trip. And even then I totally underestimated it . . . 6 days I will never forget . . . from visiting the school and playing frisbee with the kids to ziplining through the canyon to a surprise concert moment in San Jose to fantastic food to great hotels, it was a spectacular experience all around.

And as wonderful as all those things were, the best part was working with our local Program Director and motor coach driver who were two of the kindest, most professional, fun, and spirited educators I've worked with in years.

Thanks for an amazing trip, and three cheers for next year!”

“I've had the privilege of traveling to Greece through other educational travel companies as well. While each experience has been meaningful, the Athens and the Greek Islands program with the Global Citizen Program truly stood apart.

What impressed me most was the balance of the itinerary. It wasn't just a history tour or a sightseeing vacation. Students experienced an incredible blend of historical learning, cultural immersion, exploration, hands-on activities, and countless opportunities for friendship building and memory-making. Every day offered something different, allowing students to appreciate Greece's rich past while also enjoying the beauty of the islands and the joy of traveling together.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Global Citizen Program!

“The Italy, Croatia, Austria and Hungary program was absolutely amazing. We shared incredible experiences, and were thoroughly immersed into different cultures. For me, a highlight of the trip was hiking at the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia! Overall this trip was truly beautiful and life changing.”

“Traveling to Greece with The Global Citizen Program was an unforgettable experience that far exceeded my expectations. The culture, the food, the itinerary, and the people were all incredible. I had so much fun getting to know everyone, and I was genuinely sad when it ended. I’m still in touch with my group all the time!”

“I’ve been on several programs with The Global Citizen Program and every time I make new friends and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel so lucky and honored to be apart of this program! It really is the opportunity of a lifetime!”

“I can’t believe it is over! It’s been so much fun meeting new people, seeing new places….I hope to see a lot of you on next years trip!”

“I think it’s imperative for you to know that programs like this are not solely for you to have travel experience, but it’s to live in another person’s world and fully grasp the beauty and wonder of it all.”

“I loved that I got the opportunity to meet new people that I will never forget, and see places I won’t forget as well! Coming on this trip alone forced me to open up to new people that I can now call my friends. Thank you to our teacher-leaders, and travel director, Ben, for everything you guys did”

“This trip allowed me to get outside of my comfort zone and meet some amazing people! I learned that Europeans don’t always believe in toilet seats, or big elevators, but they do LOVE nutella. Thank you to our leaders, and everyone who made these 18 days so memorable!”

“I got the opportunity to learn about ancient cultures, art, music, clothing, etc. All while making new unforgettable friends!”
