How much free time do the participants get on their trip?

Our counselors tend to stay with group nearly always. Every day we will break up into smaller groups to give our participants lots of choice and flexibility in their itinerary. We do offer some free time to do some shopping, for example, in defined areas that we are very familiar with.

You will have free time to hang out and do some shopping in Galway City.

What's the food like in Ireland?

The food in Ireland is fresh and plentiful. You’ll have the chance to try some traditional Irish dishes made using local ingredients. You’ll have many classic Irish dishes, including fish and chips, always a favorite. We’ll have a traditional Irish barbeque, too!

If you’re a vegetarian, don’t despair! Vegetarian options abound in Ireland.

What else do I need to bring?

You’ll need a bathing suit and an extra pair of sneakers that you don’t mind getting dirty/wet. Most of our participants also bring a camera to record their adventures!

How do we travel around Ireland?

We travel by private coaches between cities. To get to the Aran Islands we take a ferry and then explore the lanes of the tiny island by bike.

Who are the counselors on the trip?

The Trip Leader for every trip is a seasoned teen travel professional with extensive TFT experience. Trip Leaders often live or have lived and worked in the destination country. Extensive knowledge of the language and culture of the destination is crucial. Our Senior Counselors are experienced, responsible and fun-loving, so our participants enjoy sharing experiences with them. At Travel for Teens we pride ourselves on our rigorous staff application process and the professionalism of our full time and summer staff.

It is the job of the counselors to keep the fun clean and happening, the learning and the laughter in good balance, and to oversee the safety of the participants. Minimum ratios are one staff member to every seven participants. Trips may also include one or two Junior Counselors, who are college students with a history of TFT travel, and one or more Counselors in Training (CIT’s) with limited responsibility. CIT’s are not counted in staff-participant ratios.
