As you can see, your EF tour includes visits to the places you’ve
learned about in school. That’s a given. But it’s so much more
than that. Immersing yourself in new cultures—surrounded by
the people, the language, the food, the way of life—creates
inspirational moments that can’t be listed in an itinerary. They
can only be experienced.
And the experience begins long before you get your passport
stamped and meet your Tour Director in your arrival city. It
begins the moment you decide to go. Whether it’s connecting
with other travelers on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or
delving deeper into your destinations with our personalized
learning experience, the excitement will hit you long before you
pack your suitcase.
When your group arrives abroad, everything is taken care of
so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Your full-time Tour
Director is with your group around the clock, handling local
transportation, hotels, and meals while also providing their own
insight into the local history and culture. Expert local guides
will lead your group on sightseeing tours, providing detailed
views on history, art, architecture, or anything you may have a
question about.
When your journey is over and you’re unpacking your suitcase at
home, you’ll realize the benefi ts of your life-changing experience
do not end. They have just begun.
YOU’RE GOING TO
EXPERIENCE IT.
Anyone can see the world.
