What Our Academic Partners Say About Us


Texas Tech University

I have been working with Eden Travel for a number of years. I have been extremely pleased with the arrangements that have been made for my groups. In 2017 we visited Hong Kong and Taipei. Every aspect met or exceeded our expectations. The hotels were great, the Eden Travel staff met us and escorted us when needed. The appointments were great and the restaurants they chose for group dinners were perfect. My students thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but the most important aspect was the educational experience. The students returned to campus following the experience having a greater understanding and appreciation of fashion merchandising and retail management. Because I know the quality of the experience offered by Eden Travel, I have used them this year and have already begun to plan next year’s trip.

American Intercontinental University

I Just wanted to say a big “Thank you!” for all of your help with our recent trip to Italy, as arranged through Eden Travel International.

All of the trip arrangements ran like clockwork: the hotels were great (with hospitable staff, clean and comfortable rooms and reliable showers!); the train trips wee fabulous (fast and a comfortable way to get between Rome, Florence and Venice) and all of the coach transfers worked perfectly.  In short, there was nothing more for me to do than lead my students to the appropriate meet points.

This is not (of course) the first trip we have done through Eden Travel International and working with your organization I have come to expect the highest of standards in service and logistical support.  Once again, you never fail to impress.  I very much look forward to our next trip with Eden Travel International and thank you (again) for all your help with this last one.

Over the past ten years I have coordinated six study abroad short courses to Europe. Robin Eden made the arrangements for each one of those study tours. My students, colleagues and I have all been quite pleased with the service he provided. Our accommodations were quite comfortable and ideally located. The scheduled appointments with business and industry and cultural experiences have been outstanding. Thank you Robin!

In the six years I have worked with Robin, my expectations have always been exceeded.;If you are considering taking students abroad for a customized international study tour, then Eden Travel International Ltd. is where you should begin your plans. Robin Eden’s connections provide your students with exceptional educational site visits that are on the cutting edge of the fashion and retailing industries. He provided my students with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, visiting some of the premiere retailers and most celebrated fashion houses of Europe.

From personally speaking with fashion designers themselves, to hearing educational lectures from European retail and marketing executives, to visiting some of the most famous European cultural sites such as Stonehenge, Bath and Versailles, my students’ professional and personal eyes were opened, and their lives were significantly enriched by this trip.
