ABOUT EF

For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.

13 days
Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain | APB

Our A+ Tour collection features exclusive educational programming and immersive experiences that you can only get through EF–they are rated exceptionally high by educators who travel with us.


Take part in this extraordinary 11-day odyssey through the heart of Europe, where majestic peaks and breathtaking azure coastlines stretch beyond every horizon. In Lucerne, walk the iconic spruce boards of the Kapellbrücke (German for 'chapel bridge'), one of the last surviving truss bridges left in the world. In Cinque Terre, pastel-hued houses cling to the rugged Italian Riviera town's cliffside, their foundations rooted in Mediterranean maritime lore. Finally, in Barcelona, the Gothic/Art Nouveau spires of La Sagrada Família soar toward the heavens amidst the vibrant mosaic of Park Güell–both of which were principally designed by legendary Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. If you want a true continent-spanning European educational experience, accept nothing less than the very best—take this spellbinding tour with EF.
