“Our daughter, Samantha, had a wonderful time in Spain. Truly, it was the trip of a lifetime for her...she loved her group and came home with so many memories and experiences. Thank you so much!!”

“Amanda experienced so much on her trips with Magellan. She explored multiple locations and landmarks in Spain, enhanced her ability to use the Spanish language, lived independently in another culture, and connected to her Spanish families and her American traveling companions.
As parents, we appreciated the ongoing communication between our family and Magellan staff. The face-to-face meetings, the printed materials, the answers to impromptu phone calls provided us with the information we needed to work with our daughter to make the decisions that needed to be made before the trip began. The periodic emails from the Travel Director gave us insights into their experiences in Spain and kept us abreast of their travels. The emailed pictures offered us the opportunity to see some of their experiences and students’ positive reactions to them. As parents, we also appreciated the attention to safety that the Magellan staff and chaperones had for each student. Expectations for behavior were clearly outlined prior to the trip. Medical insurance was even provided as part of the travel package. Knowing that supervision was provided throughout the trip also helped to ease any worries.
Our goal was to give our daughter the opportunity to independently experience another culture and expand her command of the Spanish language. The Magellan programs exceeded our expectations!”

“Thank you so much for providing Marisa with the experience of a lifetime -she has not stopped talking about it since she arrived home (exhausted and with her luggage at a different airport but happy)! She had a wonderful time and I wish every student had the chance to experience your program. Jim and I especially appreciated your correspondence and pictures so we could live vicariously through e-mail. You are great at what you do and we would recommend this program to anyone!”

“My daughter had a wonderful experience. She enjoyed the trip so much she is trying to convince us that next year may require study abroad as well.”

“I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful program. As it was Madison's first trip abroad without us, I was naturally a concerned parent. I am happy to say that she had a great time, loved her host family, made new friends and her language skills definitely improved. I know she will always have special memories of her trip to Spain. I also wanted to thank you for e-mailing photos of the group during various stops on the itinerary. It was fun to see everyone having a good time. All in all, it was a fantastic experience for Madison and I know she is eager to travel again.”

“I wanted to express my sincere thanks for exposing Hayley to such and amazing new country. She has grown so much during the last three weeks and I appreciate the kindness you have shown to her. We have taken Hayley all over North America over the years, but this cannot compare to her European vacation. She made lifelong friends and the sites are incomparable. What made the trip perfect was the chaperones. Your enthusiasm and planning was ten times more than we expected. Hayley has raved about how well structured everyday has been and coming from the "queen of perfection and structure", that is quite a compliment. All of you at the office or on location were instrumental in the success and I am sure you have had a few challenges dealing with a bunch of teenagers along the way. Thank you again for giving her a memory that will last a lifetime.”

“How come I never thought of you before? Mike cannot stop talking about his trip! It is overwhelming to see how much my son has grown in just a month! He is more independent and more confident and really gets the conversation going in the house with all his anecdotes from the trip. Sadly for me, I think he prefers his homestay’s mum food to mine! Thank you to all the Magellan staff for all you careful planning and efforts. My husband and I now know what our daughter will be doing next summer!”
Brenda P.
“I want to thank you for all the opportunities you've given to Ozzie. It opened up new worlds to him. Given his level of imagination and curiosity, what he learned traveling with you will serve him well in the future I also want to thank you for all your patience in dealing with all those teenagers. Heaven knows they're difficult enough one-on-one! He is happy to be home but is already planning to go back to Europe asap! Which, for him, means get a job and start saving!”
Heather T.
Again, we can't thank you enough for the amazing (transformative) time Jenna had. She already was back in California and met up with Kelly and Casey last month while we were looking at colleges. She is excited about 4th year spanish now and seems to think her study abroad has made a huge difference already! Thanks again.
