ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
The story of World War II in the United Kingdom and France is a tale of innovation and an unrelenting movement to carry on in the face of adversity.
On this tour, you’ll learn how the two nations resisted Nazi oppression as you follow in the footsteps of Allied soldiers during their quest to liberate France before and after the D-Day landings.
