When you partner with us, we make tour planning a breeze. That’s because we build a team around every teacher who travels with us, giving them personalized support every step of the way. Not sure which destination to choose? We’ll walk you through your options. Need help getting your school district excited? We’re already on it. Can’t decide what to pack in your carry-on? That’s pretty personal…but we’ll still offer plenty of advice.

Meet the magic maker
First thing’s first: We pair every teacher up with their own personal Tour Consultant. You can basically think of them as your new best friend. They’re an itinerary whiz who’s laser-focused on you and your students’ growth. Plus, they’re an expert on your area, so they understand your school district’s needs. Most importantly, they’ll be with you throughout your EF journey—collaborating to find the perfect tour, helping you sign up students, offering advice around fundraising, and being your all-around go-to for any travel questions.
Choose your perfect tour
We offer tons of destinations and endless possibilities for you to inspire your students. So, how do you narrow down all the options? Your Tour Consultant will work with you one-on-one to find the perfect itinerary for your group—but you can also consider these approaches:

Envision your dream destination
No matter where you take your students, they’ll experience a new local culture and the invaluable chance to develop a sense of independence before college. So choose the place you or your students are most interested in, and go from there.

Let your subject lead the way
While we can tailor any destination to match your group’s goals, we’ve also designed several subject-specific tours—focusing on everything from STEM to language learning—that show your students the real-world applications of their classroom studies.
Get students and parents on board (pun intended)
We make it easy to sign up students and get them excited for your tour. From spreading the word to hosting an informational parent meeting, your Tour Consultant will give you all the tips and support you need to get going. Plus, they’ll give you tons of tools and resources, ranging from enrollment posters to hang around school to detailed itineraries for interested travelers.

Leave the details to us
Between your Tour Consultant and the rest of the EF team, we’re here to make sure everything goes smoothly—both before and during your tour. We’ll handle all of the logistics and we’ll work with parents and students directly to answer any of their tour questions. That means instead of planning and handling every single detail yourself, you’ll be free to stay focused on your number one priority: teaching.
