Summary:
|
This once-in-a-lifetime trip to explore seven countries in seventeen days. The countries to be visited are the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. This trip is hosted by EF Tours, who have been in the student travel business for over fifty years. They have local offices in the countries that will be traveled should any needs arise. This trip will allow the students to see countries they most likely have never been to, experience local cuisine, and learn about their history.
This trip is entirely student-paid for and was open to the entire school for enrollment. All adults are required by EF Tours to complete a background check. All travelers are required to complete a health and medical form, as well as, sign a code of conduct agreement. Since some students may be of legal drinking age in some of the countries we visit, all students are required to sign a prohibition of alcohol form.
As an added precaution, all travelers are required to sign EF's COVID Safe Traveler Agreement. Students are required by EF Tours to have received their COVID-19 vaccination, and all adult travelers will be required to have been vaccinated and have received the booster, as well. All travelers will be required to take a COVID-19 PCR or Antigen test between 24-72 hours before departure and will test again within 24 hours of returning to the United States. EF has COVID safety measures in place which include wearing masks in buses and where required by local authorities, sanitization of high contact areas, as well as quarantine procedures, should the need arise.
This trip took place June 1-17, 2022, and all attendees were responsible for self-transport to and from the airport. All transportation on the tours, including the flights was arranged by EF Tours.
