About EF Explore America
Written by the company

Building tours that go beyond expectation
Taking a modern approach to educational travel means we design each and every one of our class trips with one thing in mind: To go beyond the same-old highlights you could see with anyone else. No matter where you go, or how subject-specific you want to get, our tours go beyond the textbooks, beyond the monuments. We’re driven to build incredible experiences that resonate with today’s students and provide lessons that will stick with them—wherever they go next.
We empower educators to do their best work
More specifically, we help teachers change their students’ lives through educational travel. We have the experience needed to make sure your trip is both immersive and educational, and we’ll support you before, during, and long after your tour.
For over 55 years, EF has helped people see new places, experience new cultures, and learn new things about the world and about themselves.
- EF Education First is a family owned and operated company, founded in Sweden in 1965 with the mission of opening the world through education.
- As a result of our culturally immersive programs, over 15 million students have learned a language, discovered the world, or earned a degree with EF.
- Teachers are our people, literally: We employ close to 30,000 of them worldwide.

EF Tours Will Always Be A Favorite
EF Tours did an amazing job on their training tour. I had the opportunity to collaborate with other teachers and I feel confident in leading our upcoming tour. I look forward to working with EF in the future!
My training tour experience was even better than I expected!
My training tour experience was even more than I expected! The itinerary was a good mix of guided tours, individual exploration, and structured training. I appreciated the opportunities to experience first hand EF tour utilities like the TILL card, staff waiting for us at the airport, name tag lanyards, etc. Our bus guide was helpful in so many ways. I learned tips and tools for a successful tour with students as he explained what works, what doesn’t work, and strategies to determine both. Thank you EF!!
Everything was perfection
Everything was perfection. There wasn't any worry or stress about travel, hotels, food or getting from place to place. The weight that was lifted from traveling with EF was priceless! The group leader, bus driver and tour guide were top notch. I will always travel with EF from now on!
Professional, Safe & Educational
The EF team is incredible. They take care of every detail, even if things don't go as planned (like a rainy day). The guides are friendly and highly knowledgeable. The meals and accommodations chosen are great as well. I would gladly recommend this company for anyone's travel needs.
Great trip
Great trip. The leaders knew so much and had so many helpful types and knowledge. Also the food was great.
10/10!!
10/10 The NYC training tour was an excellent experience. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the sights and found the training to be truly invaluable. Additionally, I appreciated the opportunity to connect and collaborate with new tour leaders, which enhanced both the professional and personal value of the trip.
Our tour guide was nothing short of AMAZING!
Our tour guide was nothing short of AMAZING! This training was very informative and glad to know we could report what isn't going right. Students pay a lot of money for these experiences and deserve a great tour.
Boston is Best with EF!
Seeing Boston for the very first time in my life was memorable because EF made sure it would be! I enjoyed every second of the history, the pace, and the fun that we had. I can't wait to bring my students to see all the same things and experience our country's history firsthand!
Excellent Tour
Our Tour Guide was absolutely amazing! Everything was so well planned. The sights and locations were spectacular. I couldn't imaging a better trip.
Boston Teacher Training Tour
Everything was well organized. The tour director and EF staff were kind, helpful, and funny. All the activities were relevant, engaging, and fun. The only downside were my flight times and layovers.
Whole lot of Bang for your Buck
While I have yet to experience taking my group on a trip yet, EF has been amazing so far. They are experienced, knowledgeable, and offer an amazing deal for students to see the world (and seriously reduce the stress on group leaders).
EF Tours Boston Leader Experience
I loved being able to meet other tour leaders and various members of the EF Tours crew to bounce ideas off of and hear the good/bad of actual tours they have done. It was so fun to actually go on a 'tour' like the students would actually do! I felt like I got to experience the tour through the eyes of both a tour leader and a student. This will allow me to give both perspectives to my fellow chaperones.
GREAT COMPANY
The company is extremely professional, and will take care of just about everything.
Authentic and Personable
The communication is so authentic and very helpful with all questions!
EF From the beginning to the end does it right.
From the very beginning before promotion to the landing of the plane at home. EF is organized, thoughtful and efficient while prioritizing safety and the wellbeing of all students. I have led many trips and there has not been a perfect trip yet. But when something goes wrong EF listens and pivots to find a solution. They are great!
So far communication has been great
So far communication has been great, the whole team is always ready to help and the experience of working with EF has been a pleasure!!
Teacher trainings are the best way to…
Teacher trainings are the best way to network and meet other teachers that travel with students. EF truly wants all students and teachers experiences to be a positive one and trains new teachers on best practice! I have traveled with EF for 22 years and love them!!
