EUROPEAN VACATION - AI NEW YORK CITY STYLE!

 
 
Ai New York City Gen. Ed. Instructor John Bandman, recently led a group of students on a 10-day European vacation.  Conducted during summer break, the itinerary included visits to Paris, Amsterdam and London. 
The group, which included fellow instructor John Miller, enjoyed city tours, museum visits, excursions to places of cultural interest, as well as combined escorted and individual opportunities to enjoy shopping, food/beverage, and sightseeing that each country had to offer. The students paid a set tour cost that included airfare, hotels, transportation, and meals that the group enjoyed together. In addition to organized group activities, there was also personal free time for the students to explore the wonders of these European capitals in their own way.
Mr. Bandman will be leading a trip to Italy in June 2014, and one does not have to be a student to participate. For more information about this trip, visit this link http://www.efcollegestudytours.com/1404302 or send an e-mail to johnbandman@yahoo.com.
