In case of an emergency…

On this page, you’ll find two sets of emergency numbers you can call while traveling abroad: the number for the EF Emergency Team for 24/7 support and the local emergency numbers for the countries you’ll be visiting (equivalent to 911 in the U.S.).


We’ve organized this information by tour region. Simply click on your tour region link to find the countries you’ll be visiting. Then, write the corresponding numbers down on your Emergency Calling Instructions card. Something to note: EF’s U.S.-based emergency number is 617-619-2913. If you’re using a U.S. cell phone with its original U.S. SIM card, you can call our emergency line by adding a “+1” before this number. If you’re using a landline or a non-U.S. cell phone, please use the emergency numbers provided below. And, if you’re traveling to a destination that isn’t listed, your Tour Director will provide you with all the relevant phone numbers.
