Peregrinación Lisboa a Barcelona 12 días

Hello Frank,

Happy 2020!  I wanted to thank you for your help with the music program in Vienna this January!  I met with the faculty director earlier this week and he said that everything was great!  Aside from the small issue with the meeting room/projector (which was resolved quickly), everything went very well and the faculty director was very happy.  He’s still deciding if he’ll offer the program again in January 2021 or wait until the following year, but we’ll be in touch if we do decide to offer it again next year.

Thanks very much for all of your help with this one!

Take care,

Jenna

“Frank and the Forocio team were wonderful in working to make our Study Abroad program a success with the large group of students we traveled with. Every detail was well organized and allowed us to enjoy the trips without worry. The tour guides they chose for us were professional and knowledgable. Frank checked in on us after every trip to ensure things had gone smoothly. We can’t imagine having traveled without them! We highly recommend Frank and Forocio!”

“We would like to thank you for organizing an excellent trip for our program. I would like to comment particularly on the excellent guides we had this time (Elena along the Way, Maria in Santiago, and Theresa in Madrid). I can’t complement them all enough, all very knowledgeable and flexible to meet our groups’ needs. Our bus driver, Manuel, was also great.

Our whole group was very pleased with the accommodations all along the way as well. I think the only hiccup we had was figuring out the taxi support and payment during the Camino. It all worked out in the end and our group had a very positive experience. ”

“Forocio is my best choice for field trip arrangements and support during my short and long visits to Spain. I have taken groups of students from the College of DuPage to Madrid and Granada for five weeks and I was very pleased with all the support I received from Forocio. I sincerely recommend their services, their tour guides are well prepared and their expertise made our learning experience valuable. I highly recommend Forocio for all your trips in Spain.”

“My apologies for not getting back to you after the trip, but I fell immediately into a new academic semester and am only now surfacing… Anyway we all had a great great, both the students and me… You did a great job arranging an excellent (but complicated) itinerary. I would definitely plan to do Roman Spain again… You were very wise, by the way, to suggest that I bring a letter from my school. That got us free into a number of places, including the Prado. That sort of things would not have happened in Italy…Anyway, thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip. I would certain call upon you again and recommend you to others.”

“Hemos pasado un viaje sensacional en Valencia. Nuestra guía, Ester fue muy accesible, simpática y la visita informativa e interesante. El personal y servicio del hotel Excelsior fue efectivo, atento y cordial. De nuevo, nuestro conductor, Eduardo Navarro, ha sido extraordinario… Muchas gracias por el servicio de primera clase+ que he recibido de parte de tu empresa.”

“Ya un poco más descansada, quisiera agradecerles su apoyo durante el viaje y sobre todo para el regreso a nuestras ciudades de origen… En cuanto al viaje en si mismo se desarrolló sin contratiempos y dejó una impresión final de mucha satisfacción en todos los muchachos… Así que muchas gracias Stefan y Blanca por ese magnífico regalo que hicieron a los muchachos y que definitivamente quedará en sus memorias como uno de los mejores recuerdos de su vida. Quisiera terminar este correo dando unas inmensas gracias a Henar. Fue un elemento invaluable para el exito de este viaje. Su profesionalismo me impresionó porque siempre iba más allá de lo que implicaba su papel. Estaba al tanto de todo, aprendió a conocer los muchachos, inclusive identificando los de Oxford y los de Bath. Me alegro haberla conocido y creo que en una semana no solamente conocí una muy buena guía pero gané una amiga.”

“Estamos encantados con los viajes que Forocio organiza para la Universidad de California año tras año. Se trata de una agencia sumamente profesional, con un excelente conocimiento de España, de su gente y de su cultura. También, entienden mejor que nadie la mentalidad y las motivaciones de nuestros estudiantes, quienes siempre recuerdan estos viajes con un gran cariño. Tampoco se olvidan de las fiestas que organiza Forocio en el Palacio de Gaviria. Son memorables! Siempre hemos estado satisfechos con los hoteles y los autobuses que nos ha facilitado Forocio. Los guías que lideran los viajes o las visitas son los mejores que hay en este negocio. En fin, es un placer trabajar con Forocio y tienen todo nuestro agradecimiento. ”

“I have to say that I believe that the trip was a major success… I could not have been happier with the arrangements that you made for us and everything went incredibly smoothly…I would also mention that your services were just what we needed. As an art group, I’m sure that our needs were not standard, but you did a tremendous job in accommodating us, and it’s greatly appreciated. I hope we will be working together again next year. Thanks again for all of your help and hard work.”

“Everyone is still talking about the trip and the outstanding experience it turned out to be. My deepest thanks to you for supplying us with wonderful guides, excellent hotels, exceptionally dependable coach drivers, great destinations and, most important, beautiful weather. You and your representatives did a great job for the group and I am most appreciative… Once again, my thanks for providing The Masterworks Chorus with such a wonderful and well-planned tour. ”

“The University of California has for years enjoyed the excellent services of Forocio in organizing trips to Andalucía for our students studying at Madrid universities. I have nothing but praise for the professionalism of Forocio, the selection of sites to be visited, hotels to stay and restaurants to eat. The guides they provide are a cut above what one would expect and the overall experience has been noted in glowing terms by our students and professors alike. ”

“Our group – a small classical choir – very much enjoyed our four-day-trip to Madrid, which was especially due to the refined and personal organisation of Forocio. The hotel, the restaurants (thinking of that Cafe with live opera singing!) and the local tour guides were thoroughly selected and strained to meet our needs and desires. A special thank you we would like to give to Forocio for arranging for our choir to perform during a church service at the famous Almudena Cathedral – what a delight it was to sing within this dignified and magnificent edifice! Another climax of the tour was a day tour to Toledo, the “secret capital of Spain”. Wow, history’s unwinding there in every brick and every corner you turn. Again, thank you very much to Forocio, it’s been an unforgettable trip.”
