"Thank you! thank you! thank you! for EVERYTHING! We were not sure where to start because a simple thank you seems insufficient to express our gratitude. We are thankful beyond words! As parents there is no greater joy than knowing your child is happy. Saifo is no where close to being an easy to please person. So to get such positive feedback from him about everything, to hear his happy voice versus the usual mono tone is such a relief and pleasure. Saifeldin has been all praise for the counselors and for everyone on the trip. Honestly, we were a bit panicked with the idea of him being the only teenager not from North America, however he has ensured us that everyone is very delightful. We realise that the trip is so well organised and that both of the counselors have EVERYTHING under control. The kindness and generosity is reflected both in Saifeldin’s feedback to us. We are very pleased with the trip, granted we are a bit jealous As for the pictures, the quality and quantity are amazing. We are truly grateful that we get to enjoy the experience too. Glad Saifeldin is trying new food, thank you again and again, we can only imagine what a challenge it is to handle 14 teenagers in a strange country!"
"Luke is home safe after a long journey. He absolutely loved the trip and said “we had really good counselors”. Thank you for everything especially taking such good care of our son. Sending your child overseas is unsettling but well worth my anxiety since he had an experience he will remember forever."
"I am so truly blown away by your emails. Photos. Jaclyns comments. All of it. She is having the time of her life and I am so grateful!!!"
"LOVE these photos and love being able to witness the transformation of the group over the course of the trip! Very cool. Thank you for setting the scene! The cheese, the wine, U2. So happy to see the pics of the fearless leaders, from the beach. So fun, loved it ! The weather, the sky in particular, during your first full day in Paris looks to have been spectacular! Thanks for letting us all be part of your fun ! You all are awesome ! We feel like we've gotten to go along on the trip also! Well your promise of entertaining emails was definitely delivered...lol! We roared as we read this; I sincerely hope you are a writer of some sort! So funny! The pics are fabulous, we are seriously jealous and are prepared for it to only get worse when you start to post photos of your time in Paris. Can't wait! Thank you so much, Mac is having a fantastic trip! We are so grateful and so impressed with TFT! I'm only sorry that we didn't send him on trips with you all earlier than this year! Thanks so much!"
"Great pictures! Love it!"
"Amazing last round of pics! The kids look like they are really enjoying the bike rides and river tour. I’ve never seen my son smile so much."
"Thanks so much for posting the great photos. I love seeing them! Wishing the group great fun and adventure!"
"Thank you so much for taking great care of Tripp. We miss him terribly - big void here at home - but thrilled that he's been having a ball! The whole group of kids appears to be getting along really well. We love getting his texts with pictures AND eagerly await 5pm CST to view your awesome photos and notes, which fill in the missing detail :) We're so happy you're wearing them out in such a healthy way -- not missing a thing in these amazing cities, and teaching a ton of history in the process!"
"Sounds like a fantastic time you are all having! St. Peters & the colosseum sounds amazing! Also all of the other places sounds incredible! The counselors are wonderful!

"I wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU! Zach had the time of his life on this trip. I know it is a lot of work managing younger teens....especially teen boys. Your caring, fun, loving personalities made this an epic trip! We look forward to hopefully reconnected with his new buddies this fall and the possibility of another adventure next summer."
