Travel Changes Lives
Experience the world with your friends
Imagine travelling the world with your friends, exploring the Tower of London, walking the Great Wall of China, or sailing the Greek Islands - together. Travelling with old friends, and making new ones, is part of the fun of travelling abroad - and the memorable adventures you share will last a lifetime. Bring your friends on your EF tour. They’ll thank you!
Discover new cultures
Exploring history, seeing how the locals live and immersing yourself in a new culture is all part of the EF tour experience. When you experience new cultures, you open your eyes to new perspectives and develop a greater global awareness.
Unlock your potential
Maybe it’s being away from the familiarity of home, or the excitement of exploring a new country. Whatever it is, international travel changes you. Students tell us they return home from tour more independent and self-confident with a greater curiosity about the world around them - and often, the desire to keep traveling.
Enhance your university and job prospects
Many colleges and universities – and employers – believe strongly in the value of international travel. Your experience abroad could give you an edge over other candidates in your post-secondary applications and future job opportunities. Who knows, maybe your tour will even help you discover what you want to do in life.

You’re covered with EF’s All Inclusive Travel Protection Plan
Most Canadian insurance companies don’t provide enough coverage for people travelling abroad – but, at EF, we make sure our travellers are protected. Our superior coverage plans cover medical emergencies, theft, baggage delay, and even unexpected tour cancellations – giving you peace of mind.
EF is also a member of TICO and the Office de la protection du consommateur, so your payments are protected.
EF means “Education First”
Since we led our first educational tour in 1965, the EF family has grown to include language schools, international exchange programs, a top-ranked MBA program, and more. We’re also proud to work with prestigious names in education such as Apple, PBS, the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board and Model United Nations-USA.
