Now is the time...this is the journey
Perhaps you have dreamed of traveling
to the beautiful and mythic land of Greece to explore the mysteries
of its extraordinary ancient civilization and to experience the
marvelous food and evocative landscapes for which modern Greece
is celebrated. You may be torn between choosing a typical big
tour-bus version of Greece or spending weeks sorting out your
own itinerary, transportation, sites, side trips and accommodations.
Take heart. The Greek Argosy tour offers another, completely
different and intriguing option.
Mike Maxwell and ACIS have joined forces
to create an alternative travel experience meant to revive the
joys of visiting ancient and contemporary Greece by rethinking
the concept of the foreign tour. Our band of travelers is limited
to a small number that will not overwhelm restaurants and local
neighborhoods. With our support, travelers will have the information,
confidence, and freedom to make many of their own choices about
where to dine and where to spend valuable personal time in Greece.
Yes, our travelers will tour Greece's
top destinations, but they will also slow down to savor compelling
locations off the beaten path, particularly in the southern Greek
islands. And in both cases travelers will have access to the
kind of relevant background knowledge that contributes to a rich
and satisfying journey.
Mike is a veteran history teacher, experienced
tour leader and founder of studentsfriend.com,
one of the Internet's top history education websites. Mike loves
to take people to places they've never seen or experienced before.
For him, it's like swinging a door open and saying, "Can
you believe this? Isn't it amazing?" Greek Argosy is his
latest, expanded and fine-tuned tour to Greece for adults and
families.
The American
Council for International Studies is widely regarded as America's
premier educational tour company due to its reputation for quality
and integrity. ACIS is handling the logistical arrangements for
our tour and processing the paperwork including registrations
and payments.
As educators, we believe knowledge can
greatly enhance any travel experience and particularly a journey
to Greece, the foundation of Western Civilization. While learning
will play a central role in this journey, we will endeavor not
to overwhelm travelers with more information than they need or
want. Many of our custom-designed resources are available on
an "opt-in or opt-out" basis.
If you are the kind of person who seeks
a deeper understanding of the fascinating land that is Greece,
and an opportunity to leave the tourist crowds behind, this could
be the journey you've been waiting for.
