European Quartet
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.
Traverse four of Europe's most-storied capital cities, each offering its own unique array of cultural experiences–from language to food and beyond. London and Paris, longtime rivals and bastions of human achievement, unfurl their architectural marvels—the majestic Eiffel Tower and the venerable Westminster Abbey—each a testament to centuries of British and French ingenuity. In Brussels, The Grand Palace awaits to dazzle you with its magnificent blend of neo-Gothic and Baroque stylings, while Amsterdam’s canal-laced streets bear the marks of centuries of maritime trade, and Renaissance splendor. As you journey through Paris, you'll come to the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, and other iconic sites etched with tales of revolution and romance. Taken together, these four historic cities tell more than any could in-and-of themselves–all you need do is explore, discover, and listen.
