The essentials of planning your child's trip

From the moment your child’s class starts planning their adventure, our team works with parents, teachers, and students, offering guidance and support. In this section, discover the key information needed to seamlessly prepare your child for a journey that helps them expand what they know—while discovering who they are.

Why tour with EF?

Industry-leading safety

We thoroughly vet the safety of our on-tour experiences with background checks for all adult chaperones, partner verification, rigorous safety protocols, and extensive coverage options to maximize your peace of mind.

Tangible student benefits

Try not to be shocked if your child comes back from tour speaking up more, or has dived into a new hobby or two. From personal growth, to boosting cultural curiosity, to sharp increases in both confidence and a sense of independence, what other experience could do so much for them?

24/7 global support

The sun never sets on our support network. No matter what time zone your child is in, we have in-house On Tour Support Teams waiting by the phone to help their group deal with anything unexpected—not to mention a broader team to handle any non-urgent questions you may have.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do

Ensuring your child’s wellbeing is our top priority. We know how difficult it is to let them go, especially when they’re setting off for another country, which is why we work hard to honour the trust you place in us as a parent. We could never ask you to stop worrying about them completely, but we’ve done our best to address what might be your biggest concerns—see our Safety overview page for details.

“When you go out into the world and you’re able to talk to new people, change is inevitable. You evolve and grow. I saw that change in my daughter.”
