We went as a family and this was the best vacation we've been on. The program was so well run. The volunteer opportunities were really interesting, fun, and taught us a lot. The food and hotel were terrific and we loved hanging out with the other families on the trip. We also really liked the sight seeing. It really was the perfect vacation!
