“The schools we visited were fantastic, the connections with counselors were amazing, and the entire experience felt both productive and memorable. Whether you’re a first-time recruiter or a seasoned pro, AEO makes international recruitment seamless, impactful, and productive. Your managers/supervisors/deans/provosts will be pleased with the ROI from the tours.”

“Ben is not just a tour leader; he’s a community builder, hype man, logistics wizard, honorary big brother, mother bear, and support counselor all rolled into one. He makes sure everyone is taken care of, keeps the group energized (even on those brutal early mornings), and somehow always knows where the best food is.”

“AEO Tour is truly more than just a tour—it’s an unforgettable experience! Ben isn’t just a tour organizer; he’s like a friend or family member who genuinely cares about making your journey seamless and memorable. His attention to detail, organization, and constant support throughout the tour were exceptional. No matter what came up, Ben was always there with a solution and a positive attitude.”

“Ben takes the time to connect with everyone, and his passion for what he does really shines through. The high schools and counselors we visited were just as impressed with him as we were—they really appreciate his professionalism and friendly approach.””

“I had an amazing experience traveling with Ben! You can tell that Ben used to do recruitment before leading AEO tours through his knowledge of the region, high schools, and his network of counselors. He carefully selected each school to make the most of our time and made sure to include counselor events in each region. I cannot wait to travel with AEO again!”

“Great tour indeed! One of the most well-organized and collaborative university tours I’ve ever joined — a truly valuable experience for both institutions and students.”

“Ben is a wonderful tour leader. He plans every logistical detail but also goes above and beyond to ensure that all the university representatives have what they need for a successful trip. He creates a very welcoming atmosphere and provides opportunities for the group to enjoy the local culture as well. I’ve found these trips to be excellent networking and professional development opportunities. The folks that participate in AEO Tours are always wonderful and I’ve learned a great deal from them!”

“I just returned from 4 weeks of recruitment on the AEO Tour, and am once again blown away! Ben manages to create a schedule that is productive, efficient, and maximizes time on the road, while also making sure that health and safety come first for reps. Despite representing a smaller name college, I actively saw application numbers growing from each region we visited in real time. Considering the low price and my previous yield success from past AEO tours, I am confident the ROI from AEO Tours is unmatched in the field. I truly cannot recommend enough!”

“AEO Tours puts on excellent international recruitment tours. I’ve participated in both the Southeast Asia and East Asia tours and was very impressed by both. Ben puts in a great deal of effort into building relationships with the high school counselors. This leads not only to successful school visits, but I also appreciate the counselor dinners he hosts in each country. Our days are full, but very well organized.”

“It was truly one of the most organized events I have participated in. I enjoyed the student and counselor conversations and hope to continue to build on those in the upcoming weeks and years.”

“I can’t stress how impressed I was by the level of organization, amount of student engagement, and quick turnaround on getting us data for the students we talked with. I’m looking forward to the next one and wholeheartedly recommend AEO to anyone who is looking for an alternative to expensive (and often empty) student recruitment tours.”

“AEO Tour cares about both the student experience AND the college or university experience when setting up virtual events. Attention to detail is given with clear instructions well in advance of the date of the event. I never feel rushed to have a last-minute practice session or wonder how the program will work….all is made clear.”

“COMPLETE info was given well in advance, not last-minute as some tours I experienced.”

“AEO Tour has been a strong piece of our recruitment strategy for the last several years. Through this organization, I have been able to build our brand with high school counselors across Asia. Every necessary aspect of pre-tip planning, whether in person or virtual, is fine-tuned, making participation clear and fruitful. Time and money spent is always a great value with the AEO Tour team.”

“STUDENTS ACTUALLY SHOWED UP! There was far more engagement than I’ve received in any other visits from other tours.”

“Simple, clear and well-organized!”

“I liked the general idea of having it be school specific to have counselors take ownership of pushing students to participate.”

“Well organized, great variety of schools, clear communication and instructions.”
