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.

- How much free time do the participants get on their trip?
- Whats the food like in London and Paris?
The food is delicious! There is a bit of everything, so everyone can eat something that pleases them. Even though a lot of food will look familiar to you, we encourage you to be adventurous, and step out of your comfort zone, try something new!
As on all our trips, vegetarians and vegans can be accommodated.
- 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.
- Where do we stay on the London and Paris trip?
In London, we will be staying in a two star hotel near Kings Cross Station, the station made famous by Harry Potter's very own Platform 9 and 3/4.
In Paris, we will be staying in a hostel located in the Marais, a hip, popular district known for its street artists. We are at walking distance of Notre Dame, tons of little cafes, creperies, and shops. The hotel itself is old townhouses converted into a youth hostel, which accommodates students from all over the world.
Both hotels are in safe areas with 24 hour security. Every student will have his or her own bed (2 - 6 to a room in Paris and 2 to 4 to a room in London).
