Authentica’s Happy family
The Authentica team was a pleasure to work with for our short-term faculty-led program in India. The services were customized to fit our itinerary and everything went according to plan. The guides were hand-picked, hotels and sites were carefully vetted, and no detail was left unmanaged. The team was on-call to assist with any issues even including retrieving lost items and dealing with illness within the group. I strongly recommend Authentica!
Kira Espiritu, Director, International Studies Abroad, University of San Diego
Authentica is one of the best partners I've worked with on international programs. Bringing policy and business leaders to India could've been a real challenge, but Authentica delivered outstanding results by understanding our objectives and talking us through well-researched proposals. I was impressed by their professionalism and passion for delivering culturally authentic experiences - and they are fun too!
Melissa Edwards Smith, Director of Global Leaders Programs, Centre for International Understanding
Authentica did a phenomenal job working with internship host companies to identify and scope projects that addressed company challenges and leveraged our unique backgrounds. They know the region well, have a great network and are incredibly well organized - this helped us get to know the REAL India.
Edi Studer, Ivey Global Lab Participant Google alumni, travel entrepreneur
Our group included 35 North Carolina school teachers who had never been to India, several of whom had never been outside the United States. They were all understandably a bit nervous about going to India! But, the Authentica team, with their warmth, professionalism and knowledge, put our delegation at ease from the moment they met us at the airport. Their care with logistics and programming made for a wonderful, transformational experience for everyone. We are all so grateful.
Meredith Henderson, Senior Director of Programs, University of North Carolina
