ECC-Studienreisen

Our wishes regarding the destinations of the trip and the ratio of guided tour to free time were taken into account. We had a super tour guide: very competent, friendly and communicative. When the trip was changed due to a Lufthansa strike, ECC went to great lengths to ensure that we had a good flight connection and (almost) nothing of the program was lost. We were able to get to know Portugal in a very pleasant way.

A wonderful study trip! Excellent support from ECC. That is quite extraordinary! Everything worked out perfectly, an extremely competent tour guide on site, very good hotels, program as requested with good tips.
Thank you!

Self-drive group tour to Jordan with 11 people in two minibuses. Excellent advice and support during preparation. Selection of very good hotels, perfect service at Amman airport for visas, Jordan Pass and car rental.

Perfect advice and planning of our Namibia group trip this year according to our ideas. Very competent contact persons who know the destinations well. I have been traveling with ECC for over 30 years and have only had the best experiences.

Mrs. Langen's support and service were excellent!

If you are interested in antiquity, especially the Roman period, Tunisia is a wonderful travel destination, full of surprises and insights. But the references to Islam and more recent history are also exciting. The trip with ECC was great, very well organized and at the same time a source of ideas for planning our own trips to this country. As you would expect from ECC, everything was very well thought out and we had an exciting and enjoyable week in Tunisia.

I was very satisfied with the friendly atmosphere, the very good selection of hotels (for me, 1-2 stars less would have been ok) and the itinerary. A little more free time would have been desirable, as well as a short hike and meeting the locals.

The 14-day trip through Nepal was a special experience for us and we will remember it very fondly:
> In one of the poorest countries in the world, we willingly scaled back our individual comfort requirements. Nevertheless, the service in the hotels and restaurants was of a high standard, typical of the country, supported by the hospitality of the people.
> The German-speaking, local travel guide Rakesh Pant presented all aspects of his country as it is both good and not so good. He measures the criticism of his home country against the potential of the opportunities. This is convincing and brings great understanding for the circumstances in Nepal.
> We managed the organization and transport of the journey from Kathmandu via Patan, Chitwan National Park, Tansen, Pokhara etc. back to Kathmandu in an air-conditioned coach, which - literally - also coped with the roads, most of which were still under construction". The driver and his assistant were extremely courteous when getting on and off, loading luggage and stopping for breaks.
> Nepal lies at the crossroads between China/Tibet on the one hand and India on the other. This does nothing to dampen the self-confidence of its people. The people are already busy in the early morning, do not shy away from work and thus master their lives. We like to judge this by the fact that we have not met a single person who has been unfriendly to us.
> If you want to get to know Nepal - the country and its people, its religions and its culture - you should visit ECC-Studienreisen and find out more.

Our trip to Nepal was prepared and organized very professionally by ECC. The contact was always friendly and all requests were dealt with very quickly.
I would always go back to ECC when planning my group trip. A clear recommendation!

I have been doing my study trips with ECC for over 30 years and have never had any fundamental criticism from my participants. Planning and execution have always been excellent.

A very well organized information trip with very empathetic and professional guidance by Bettina von Hagen (ECC) and a really very friendly group. The days were balanced and yet intensively planned, hotels and food were recommendable. Any time again.

The information tour to Tunisia was a complete success all along the line! Special thanks go to the tour guide Bettina von den Hagen.

I found the tour guide a bit disjointed, but overall very good experience. An exceptionally nice group!

The information trip to Tunisia was very informative and well organized. The Tunisian tour guide gave us a clear understanding of the country, its people and history.

ONLY travel with ECC!

Info trip to Tunisia in February 2024, very intensive program with a focus on ancient culture. As always with ECC, everything was excellently organized. Ms. von Hagen led the group in coordination with the local tour guide in a charming but clear manner. The guide himself was not entirely convincing, his contributions were highly redundant, current questions were ignored and only discussed on request (sometimes only rudimentarily). Very good group atmosphere, which also made rainy days bearable.

A successful trip where the itinerary was just right - the cultural part in Tamil Nadu at the beginning and then the more relaxed part in Kerala. The hotels were well chosen. One small drawback - it was sometimes a bit tiring to listen to the guide's German during longer explanations.

Very guide in India! Very good hotel! Very well organized!

The 14-day tour in Southeast India with the numerous temple visits and related information from the very competent tour guide was very well organized and executed. The bus driver and his companion were always highly motivated and always very helpful!
The cities of Chennai, Mamallapuran, Trichy and Madurai in particular, as well as the boat trip on Lake Pertiyar and the houseboat tour were very eventful!

The choice and quality of the accommodation was very good. Our tour guide was excellent, both from a professional, personal and human point of view. I always felt safe on the road with our exceptionally friendly bus driver team.
Suggestions for improvement:
The relationship between the length of the trips and the sightseeing did not always harmonize. I would have preferred a slightly longer trip. I would have liked a more intensive visit to a tea plantation, a rubber plantation and the rice farmers, which was not possible in terms of time.
