Rustic Pathways- Read this if you’re a parent!
February 02, 2025by: Amanda Osborn - United StatesMy daughter wanted to travel the world, and I can’t thank Rustic Pathways enough for helping us make this possible! From the very first interactions, to the end, Rustic and their team were amazing to work with, while always communicating and keeping us informed every step of the way! My daughter stayed in a castle during her trip to Italy, made homemade pasta, went to lake Garda and volunteered by assisting with town cleanup!
Hi Amanda! We're so happy to hear that your daughter had an amazing time in Italy! And we're thrilled that our team made the process easy for you and your family. Thank you for placing your trust in us! We hope your daughter gets to see more of the world (with us) and beyond!
Unique plans, cultural diversity, great experience!
August 13, 2024by: Ben Mensch - United StatesRustic Pathways provides a unique opportunity to perform service and develop special bonds with community members across the world while still enjoying the incredible things that a different country has to offer.
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for your review. We're glad you had a good time in Italy and that you developed special bonds with your group. We hope to see you next summer too!
Excellent Opportunities provided!
August 13, 2024by: Jack Morgan - United StatesRustic Pathways is an oppurtunity to travel in a way like none another. For most programs, such as the one I went one, there is a harmony achieved between service, exploration, learning, and fun. This was definitely obtained during my trip, and I would imagine this to be true for other as well.
Hey Jack! Thanks so much for sharing your positive perspectives about our trips! We're glad you had a great experience, and we hope to see you again next summer!
Unforgettable experience!
August 13, 2024by: Brian Chan - United StatesThis has been my favorite program out of the 4 that I've done with RP. Every moment that I spent in Italy was rather unforgettable. I had so much fun and I’ve met people that I consider lifelong friends now. Highly recommend it.
Hi Brian! We're glad that you had such an unforgettable time in Italy and that you made such great friends. Also a BIG thank you for joining us in Italy for your fourth Rustic adventure. We hope to see you next summer!
I had an amazing time.
July 23, 2024by: Alisa Shumakin - United StatesI had so much fun exploring and being in Italy. I met so many amazing people and loved my PLs. Exploring Italy was better than I had imagined and I loved trying new foods, exploring the cities, and shopping with my friends.
Exploring and shopping in Italy with new friends?!! Say no more, Alisa! That sounds like the perfect time. We're glad you had so much fun on our Italy program. We hope we see you again next summer!
Unforgettably fun!
July 23, 2024by: Allegra Cerda - United StatesI was worried going into the program since it was definitely outside of my usual comfort zone but it ended up being one of the best experiences ever. I learned new things, ate a life times worth of gelato (you can never have enough gelato), got to try so many new things, and go so many new places. Also there were 3 cute cats and a dog at the castle where we stayed. Lastly one of the best parts had to be the amazing project leaders who were so much fun and so nice. I would highly recommend taking this trip.
Hey Allegra! We're so happy that you stepped out of your comfort zone and had such a great experience. Cute cats, endless gelato, and historic castles??! It sounds pretty magical to us! Hope to see you next summer!
Amazing Italy
July 22, 2024by: Lila Harper - United StatesThe best Rustic trip I’ve been on out of 3. It was just totally awesome and I loved that we had so much opportunity to do and try new and amazing things. My PL’s were awesome and my group was so fun!!
Hey! We're so happy that you had the best time this summer, Lila! Our Program Leaders are pretty awesome, and we're happy you tried new things too. We hope next summer brings you back to Rustic!
I'll have them for life.
