Testimonials

We recently partnered with Macellan Travel for our Bilnet Schools educational trip to the United States, covering Florida (Kennedy Space Center), New York, and Washington, D.C., and the experience exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From planning to execution, the program was exceptionally well organized, academically meaningful, and perfectly suited to our students. The itinerary balanced education, cultural exposure, and student engagement with great care. Visits such as the Kennedy Space Center, historical landmarks in Washington, D.C., and the cultural richness of New York provided our students with unforgettable learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Macellan Travel demonstrated outstanding professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness throughout the entire journey. Logistics, accommodations, transportation, and on-site coordination were handled seamlessly, allowing our students and educators to focus fully on the educational value of the trip. We sincerely appreciate Macellan Travel’s commitment to quality and student safety, and we confidently recommend them to institutions seeking well-designed, high-standard international educational travel programs.

I had the pleasure of participating in the educational trips organized by Macellan, where I closely observed how thoughtfully designed experiential learning can inspire young minds. Throughout these trips, students were not only exposed to advanced scientific concepts but were also encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and connect theory with real-world applications. What impressed me most was Macellan’s ability to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical exploration. The programs were well-structured, intellectually stimulating, and tailored to ignite genuine curiosity in science, engineering, and space exploration. As a former astrophysicist and deep space communications engineer, I recognize the importance of early exposure to such experiences in shaping future scientists and engineers. Guiding students during these trips was truly rewarding. Their enthusiasm, engagement, and growth over a short period demonstrated the strong educational value of Macellan’s approach. I strongly believe that initiatives like these play a vital role in preparing the next generation for careers in STEM fields and beyond.

As an FRC coach who has prepared and mentored many robotics teams across Turkey, I have been bringing students to FIRST Robotics Competition events in the United States for over a decade. During these 10 years, Macellan has been our trusted partner for every stage of this journey. From complex visa processes and international travel logistics to competition-week transportation, accommodation, and scheduling, Macellan has consistently delivered a seamless and well-organized experience. This reliability has allowed me to focus fully on what matters most—supporting my students, preparing them for competition, and helping them grow as engineers, leaders, and global citizens. Macellan’s deep understanding of educational travel, STEM competitions, and the unique needs of FRC teams makes them more than a travel provider; they are a true partner in our mission. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to student success have played a key role in the positive experiences our teams have had in the United States year after year. I confidently recommend Macellan to any school, coach, or organization planning international educational or competition travel. Their experience, trustworthiness, and dedication are unmatched.
