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, historical sites 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 small
enough to blend into local neighborhoods and restaurants, which
means we can visit unspoiled, out-of-the way locations where
big tour groups simply can't go.
In addition, our travelers enjoy
quality meals, centrally located accommodations, unique cultural
opportunities, and specially developed educational materials.
Obviously this approach to travel costs more than a bargain tour,
but the big difference in the quality of your experience is well
worth it. (For a representative cost-comparison chart, click

Yes, you will visit Greece's
top destinations and historical sites, but you will also slow
down to savor compelling locations off the beaten path in the
beautiful southern Greek islands. And in both cases you 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 Mike's
latest, updated and fine-tuned foreign tour.
The American
Council for International Studies is widely recognized as
America's premier educational tour company due to its reputation
for quality and integrity. ACIS is handling the business end
of our tour and will provide a European tour manager to travel
with us 24/7 to keep track of logistical arrangements and assure
a smooth journey.
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 not
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 have been waiting for.
