My girlfriend and I just took our first class at Shiso Kitchen, and we can't wait to go back. Jess is incredibly knowledgeable - she gave us tons of great tips throughout the class, and was willing to answer any questions we had around ingredients, styles, and personal preferences. We learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and the food was delicious.

I just returned from the 14 day grand tour (plus 5 day extension) and I can't stop talking about the amazing experience. Addi, group mentor and my new Moroccan family is an incredible ambassador to the country and culture. His knowledge of the history and culture, not to mention where to stay, dine, shop and tour were all exceptional. I have been on several academic lead studies abroad and this tour was comparable in terms of the people we met and deep experiences with the culture. Jane

Fabulous time good team building, everyone participates with excitement. We did a group event with eight people, Chris our coach guided individually each person and supported the group as a team. Their development of competition and pairing up the teams has an interesting algorithm. How they do it I don’t know but we had a blast.

Went here with friends on a Saturday night and the beer selection was great. I tried 3 very different brews - a Douple IPA, a Sour, and Stout, and loved all three. It was busy as expected and hard to find a table, but loved that they had a live band performing and there were ample games available. Overall great vibe and would recommend!

My son and I visited Legoland returning after a long time. He loves to build LEGOs and it was a special trip while his younger brother was at daycare. For school vacation we were concerned it would be busy but we got there early and basically had the place to ourselves for the first hour and a half. We did everything but we spent a lot of time with the master builder helping to put together a LEGO mural. We started talking to Master Builder Megan who shared how she builds all the amazing structures. She then gave my son an amazing surprise! She took us behind the scenes, showed him how she creates the LEGO structures, they built a mini figure of my son and put it in the mini Fenway Park. What an amazing experience. One he will never forgot! Thank you for going above and beyond to make my son so happy!
