Ayesha C. Spanish Student | Coon Rapids, MN

What People are Saying Testimonials

My best language use moment was when we were at a restaurant in Paris, and I asked the server (in French) if I could have the same dessert as the gluten-free people on the tour, even though I am not. She brought only me that dessert even though other people also asked for it because I asked in French.

Bella H. French Student | LaCrosse, WI

What People are Saying Testimonials

CETA Tours was one of the best tour companies I have ever traveled with. With a trip to France you want everything to be perfect. Not only was my trip to France made perfect by CETA, they added stuff to the tour while we were in there so we could get the most out of our trip. I recommend CETA to all who would like to travel anywhere. The people at CETA Tours know what they're doing.

Benjamin M. French Student | Dubuque, IA

What People are Saying Testimonials

CETA has been coordinating student trips with me for the past 20 years! Every trip I've taken with students have been successful. When compared to other tour companies, either their prices are unattainable for most students, or the quality of the tour will meet bare expectations. CETA caters the tour to your needs, works with you if there are hiccups along the way, and provides a quality tip for an affordable price. Highly recommend!!!!

My best language use moment was when I was talking with an antique shop owner about the origins of a stein that I had purchased and I found out that it was from 1970’s east Germany.

Connor S. German Student | Hudson, WI

What People are Saying Testimonials

My best language use moment was that I really noticed how much easier it is to learn the language when you’re  in the country. Like just by looking around and inferring I found out what multiple words meant just because I was actually experiencing this new country.

I've traveled twice with CETA and student groups. They're a small company with students' and travelers' best interests at heart; I know of know other that books a bike tour through Munich, for instance. If I take another Germany tour with my students, I will book with CETA for sure.

After having traveled with several different tour companies and always being disappointed about one or more things, I found CETA Tours. I never had to look any farther.

Having had in the past the opportunity to travel with a large tour operator, I particularly enjoyed this year being part of a smaller organization. Our Tour de France turned out to be lovely: from the positive experience of the accommodations in Youth Hostels providing us with very good traditional cuisine to the well orchestrated visits of the numerous outstanding and memorable sights, it all worked out beautifully!

Maggy-Noelle S. French Teacher | St. Louis, MO

What People are Saying Testimonials

As a French teacher for 39 years I used CETA tours for our school trips to France and Québec. They were highly recommended by our German teachers. I loved working with CETA tours because of their flexibly to create the tours that I wanted to offer my students. No hidden fees, except for lunches, all meals were included. All museum or activity tickets were included and many times prepaid already. My students loved traveling with CETA. Compared to some companies I had used before, I got much better service from CETA, they are number 1 on my list. Contact me if you have any questions. You won’t make a mistake to let CETA organize your tour.
