My first-time traveller son (age 16) travelled to major cities in Italy, Switzerland, France, and England. He loved his time with his small group, and he would have enjoyed the trip more if they didn’t have to have the other school join them. He loved the mountains of Switzerland the most. The time that he spent exploring with a small group was really memorable for him and I love that he navigated this at a young age. He enjoyed his tour guide, but he couldn’t hear a lot as his device kept cutting out as he was in the back of a long line. He is not much of a city kid, so this was really out of his comfort zone, but he looks forward to travelling again. As a parent, I don’t think the romantic Romeo and Juliet features, or the large emphasis on shopping was too useful. I would have loved for him to go into cathedrals and see crypts, and castles, and learn a lot more from the inside rather than doing so much walking outside of places. Also, given that he is 6’3” he needed a lot more space on the plane. I knew he would be uncomfortable, but he was absolutely unable to sleep on the flight days. His first day, he was up 28 hours. Overall, as a parent, you and his teacher made this all so easy. I’m very grateful for his experience. He learned a lot and had a great adventure. Thank you.
