A November 6, 1997 Reference from
United World College of Southeast Asia
I understand from Mr. Bob Meyer at Global Seminars, California, that you are thinking about taking a group of students to America. I have just returned from a 9 day trip to San Francisco and Seattle, organised by him, for my group of 44 Business and Economics students aged 17-18 years from The United World College of South East Asia in Dover Road. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a highly competent tour guide, and his very thorough organisation meant that our trip was a resounding success.

I realise that, at this late stage, you may have already made a decision as to whether to use Global Seminars, but I can only say that I will using Bob for future educational trips to the States. He is not only well organised but sensitive to the groups needs (e.g if you change your plans he will do his utmost to accommodate you). He is also very conscientious, courteous with a very good knowledge of the areas visited. He tailored a very intensive programme for us which exactly fitted our needs - we wanted to visit as many blue chip companies as possible and went to Microsoft, Boeing, NASA, Starbucks, Levis, Hewlett Packard as well as sightseeing, seeing a NFL football game and shopping! He was always punctual and had a very good rapport with the students.

Please feel free to [contact me at E-Mail: elgut@singnet.com.sg] if you have any questions. I will be only too happy to help Bob, as he helped us organise such a successful trip.

[Avoid Bad Companies and Tours]
... Do not bring groups to Intel, etc.
... Maybe other companies should be tried as well next time to replace Intel and NASA, also Microsoft.
... Should confirm visits with serious companies only -> professional treatment rather than treatment of school groups.

[Continue Good Companies and Tours]
... Always bring groups to Alcatraz and Boeing (H.P.).
... Continue the Alcatraz and Boeing
... More time at Haight Ashbury

[Adjust Pacing]
... A little less concentrated (continuous) walking.
... A little more flexibility for breakfast and dinner
... Lengthen the trip and spread the activities out.
... You should consider when will the shop closed.
... Longer stops at certain places like the Pike Place Market
... The days are packed! Despite the fact we are young adults, it might be advisable to give us rest time or almost force us to sleep, to better prepare us for the next days tour.
... Pls, no curfew!
... Do not walk so fast!!

... Accommodations perhaps can be improved if participants will pay more.
[Food]
... More dinner choices at the various restaurants would be nice.
[Misc.]
... Monorail to Seattle downtown can be substituted by going up the Space Needle, as BART at SF is similar.
