Pros

Beautiful city , great location

Cons

Teachers are treated horribly. No paid vacation time, no sick days, no personal days. Is this even legal? Cheap company... No raises... Absurd amount of emails daily on petty stuff... Teacher is expected to be at school all day 8-5 and doesn't get paid for all the hours spent. There is a three hour gap on Mondays for which you get nothing and are expected to stick around. How does that make any sense?

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
