"As a National Board Certified teacher, I did not believe that I would find that an on-line course could be so informative and so personal at the same time. The course instructor and the material has been excellent. I am very happy I took this course! Thank you!!!"

I am now working in San Diego for 4 DMC's as a guide/field staff and as a tour director for a motorcoach tour operator guiding day trips in So. Cal and into Baja. I will do my first 7 day motorcoach tour in May!"
"Though I have led tours for 12 years I found this class to be very informative. I felt that this class was all encompassing, discussing any type of tour that you wanted to be informed about. It definitely helped me expand my knowledge of the tour industry and just what to expect in many types of situations.There was not one piece of material that I found to be just filler information. All was pertinent to the tour industry. Reading the lessons made you want to read more and hear more about Cherie's experiences as well as some of her student's experiences. Cherie thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, I truly enjoyed the class. "
