Paris
Bonjour, Paris! During your sightseeing in the City of
Light, get a taste of Parisian style as you ride down
the Champs-Élysées, an elegant boulevard packed
with high-fashion boutiques. Pass the Place de la
Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe and strike a pose
in front of the Eiffel Tower. At the École Militaire, see
where a promising young Napoleon launched his rise
to power. I.M. Pei’s iconic glass pyramid marks the
entrance to the renowned Louvre, home to treasures
like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Then, travel to
the Notre Dame Cathedral and admire its sculptured
façade, stained-glass rose windows and seemingly
weightless vaulted ceilings.
Tower Bridge
London, England
Rome
No place integrates its past into the present quite
like Rome, where history comes to life. Explore the
world’s most famous arena on your sightseeing tour
to the Colosseum. Here, you can almost hear the
stamping feet of the crowds gathered for gladiatorial
combat. Nearby, the Forum Romanum marks
the former heart of the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar
gave many of his great political speeches there. On
your visit to the Vatican City, marvel at Michelangelo’s
breathtaking ceiling in the Sistine Chapel and look out
for the colorful uniforms of the Swiss Guard, protectors
of the Vatican City. Before you say “arrivederci,”
toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure a return
trip to the Eternal City.

Louvre
Paris, France
London
London has become one of the world’s great melting
pots while maintaining a distinct character that’s
all its own. From the London Bridge to the Houses of
Parliament, Great Britain’s royal tradition and rich history
greet you at every turn. A local guide introduces
you to Europe’s largest city on your sightseeing tour.
Admire architectural marvels like the Baroque domes
and spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the 17th-century
church designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Check out
the lively fi ve-way intersection at Piccadilly Circus as
well as Hyde Park’s urban greenery. You may even
get a chance to witness the ceremonial Changing of
the Guard. Finally, snap a picture of Big Ben from the
banks of the River Thames.
Forum Romanum
Rome, Italy

Educational travel prepares students
for long-term success.
We commissioned a survey of thousands of young adults who are now 20 to 21 years old
and who took an EF tour in high school. What we discovered is that taking an EF educational
tour is life changing, setting students up for success in their personal and professional lives.
Students surveyed said they are better at thinking critically and solving problems because of their EF experience.
Nearly every student is earning a BA or higher. About 80% maintain a college grade point average above 3.0;
nearly half earn a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0.
More than 80% report becoming better communicators and collaborators as a result of their international experience.
