"Touringhouse recently organized and coordinated a study tour of businesses in India
for a group of our MBA students at Wilfrid Laurier University.
The study tour was a resounding success due in large part to Touringhouse's attention to detail,
their network of contacts and their intimate knowledge of India. Everything from the travel
logistics to the accommodations to the quality meetings was handled with professional care
and made for a rich learning experience. We will definitely use Touringhouse for our next
visit to India and highly recommend their services"
