Travel that’s designed with the future in mind

When done right, traveling is an education. It lights up your senses and introduces you to new perspectives in a way only the best lessons can. So that’s what we set out to provide: for every student, in partnership with the teachers who lead our tours. There’s a better way to see the world, and it’s together.

We’re covering:

1. One itinerary at a time

2. Teacher-approved travel

3. Safety, price & everything nice

4. Partners with a purpose

Let our detail-loving experts lead the way

Compelling itineraries that are rooted in experiential learning and curated by experts. It’s what you can expect from any EF tour, whether it’s a trip specially designed for middle school students or an itinerary built to go beyond the beaten path. We bring educators, world travelers, subject-matter specialists, and locals together to craft every last detail of your travel experience—and that diverse team puts the same level of care and planning into each of our tours.

DID YOU KNOW?

Our not-so-secret travel advisors are teachers.

We involve them at every stage of EF’s tour design process. From inviting educators to scout out new destinations with us, to their role in previewing trips before students ever set foot on them, to reading all of our Group Leaders’ feedback in real time, teachers are the people who help make our itineraries shine.

EF’s commitment to you

Sure, we spend countless hours building and improving upon our tours until we’re confident you’ll love them. But we also focus on your overall experience. That’s why we’re serious about safety, pricing our trips affordably, and staying flexible as the world changes.
