Building tours that go beyond expectationTaking a modern approach to educational travel means we design each and every one of our class trips with one thing in mind: To go beyond the same-old highlights you could see with anyone else. No matter where you go, or how subject-specific you want to get, our tours go beyond the textbooks, beyond the monuments. We’re driven to build incredible experiences that resonate with today’s students and provide lessons that will stick with them—wherever they go next.We empower educators to do their best workMore specifically, we help teachers change their students’ lives through educational travel. We have the experience needed to make sure your trip is both immersive and educational, and we’ll support you before, during, and long after your tour.Let's get startedFor over 55 years, EF has helped people see new places, experience new cultures, and learn new things about the world and about themselves.

My daughter had a tremendous time. The teachers tending to her were amazing, and the experience as a whole was a terrific growth opportunity for her.
My daughter really enjoyed her trip, the experience was fun and easy.
My son has an amazing time on the tour so glad he has the opportunity to experience this tour
My son went on the trip and while he said he did learn a lot and enjoyed getting to say so many things, there were some parts of the tours that he didn’t know the information on or was just flat wrong about.
Thank you for sharing this, and we're glad your son had a great time and came home having learned so much! We appreciate the note on the tour commentary and will pass that along to our teams. Thank you for your feedback!
My daughter really enjoyed her time on her trip. The group leaders and host made it a trip to remember.
We had an amazing tour director in Rick! He made everything smooth and seamless even when we had to change things on the fly!
This is my 3rd time on a trip to dc and my first with your company. The sights were beautiful, tour guide was knowledgeable and it was memories of a lifetime for me and my daughter.
My son really enjoyed his time. Everything was organized well and the tour guide was amazing!
The planned events were great. It is good to keep the kids moving to see as much in Washington DC as possible. Our child enjoyed the trip as did our other child on the same trip 2 years earlier. Keeping the trip affordable is huge. The bus driver and for guide were awesome!
It was really fun! I do think we should have a little more time to eat but for the most part the experience was so interesting.
My son liked the hotels, but the Boston one had some loud noises (per his report) that interfered with sleeping. Also the water in the lobby was not full when needed (per his report). I appreciated the communication to me as a parent; it was awesome. My son loved the food choices. I thought the amount of exploring and places they got to go was amazing. The kids were safe! Flights were very delayed both ways, but EF tours has no control over that.
Thank you for sharing this! We're so glad to hear your son loved the food and all the amazing places he got to explore. And the fact that you felt well informed as a parent throughout means a lot to us! Appreciate the feedback!
It was really nice to go to 4 city’s that I’ve never been to before especially with my friends. Most of the activities were fun and just the overall experience. This was definitely a really fun trip and I’m glad I did it.
Wonderful trip and chaperones
Amazing traveling experience for my Daughter.
From start to finish our experience with this tour has been wonderful! Our account manager, Josey, was fantastic, our tour guide and bus driver on tour were fabulous. I had a 10 year break since my last student tour and this was the perfect way to get back into it!
My Children had an amazing time and at the same time they learned a lot.
Great experience from start to finish..Everything was well planned and done.
Our tour leader, Linda Ptuyac, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, organized, and was truly what made the experience memorable.
Our tour guide was very prepared, knew about both cities we visited, and was very good with a rowdy bunch of 7th and 8th graders.
