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.


On the 80th anniversary of Allied Victory in Europe, we hope you will join us on this unique exploration of Canada’s wartime legacy. Traverse the hallowed grounds of Camp Vught and the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery, where silent marches and remembrance ceremonies create necessary space for sombre reflection. Witness the enduring bond between Canadians and the Dutch at the Wageningen Liberation Day Festival, which commemorates our two nations' shared struggle against the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. At Juno Beach, Vimy Ridge, and Beaumont-Hamel, you will ponder the bravery of those who fought, the sacrifice of those who perished, and the unspeakable brutality of war. This tour is a tribute not only to those who served, but to the peace and liberty they fought to protect–and the heavy cost paid to preserve them. Join us on this poignant journey through the Netherlands and France, and trace the deep impressions of Canada's impact on their history and culture.
