Learn from your Tour Director and expert local guides

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 travellers on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or delving deeper into your destinations with our online learning platform, weShare, 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 of 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 benefits of your life-changing experience do not end. They have just begun.

YOU’RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE IT.

Anyone can see the world.
