Our son has done three Travel for Teens trips over the last 3 years. He went to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana, 21 days in Europe, and most recently the Alaska adventure trip. He absolutely loves Travel for Teens trips. He has met so many friends that he stays connected with and has even met up with some while vacationing over the last several years. The logistics team makes everything so easy, the staff is so responsive, and the trip directors plan every detail for the kids to enjoy. There is a good mix of organized activities and downtime and great local dinners in whatever they visit. He has done two of the trips with Breisen, the trip director, who is an incredible trip leader and so great with teens. Maggie, the director of sales, and her team will talk through trips with you to make finding the perfect trip and perfect dates so easy.

My daughter, a rising junior, went on a 10-day trip to Greece this summer. TfT was super organized, very thorough and I felt very safe sending her to the other side of the world with them. They were well-chaperoned and the trip was full, but with plenty of time to hang out and enjoy new friends as well. My daughter celebrated her 16th birthday on the trip too and they made it so special. She LOVED the trip leader and made some really amazing friends. It honestly could not have been a better experience.

This travel program was very thorough and communicative through every step of the way. Staff were accessible and supportive. My teen daughter had a great time, with really fun activities, seamless travel, and we (parents) got to read detailed emails and see photos every day. We are very satisfied customers!

Our daughter just returned from her third TFT trip and declared this the best one yet. All of her adventures (Canada, Costa Rica, Alaska) have been well-planned with a good balance of culture, adventure and service. Group leaders have been consistently great across all trips and pre-trip communication (emails, phone calls, seminars) is very comprehensive. It's a joy to see her return every year bursting with stories and ever-increasing independence and confidence.

My rising senior went on the Alpine Adventure trip summer of 2026 and had the absolute time of his life. He made the best of friends and even had experiences that influenced what he wants to pursue with his college degree. The organization team as well as the trip leaders on the ground were communicative from start to finish. I loved seeing all the update emails and photos each day of the trip. If I could give TFT 10 stars I would. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience for our teen. Well organized, good communication and their experience with both travel and teens is evident. 16 year old knew no one going in,  had trip of a lifetime to Alaska and has already asked about going on another trip next year. Highly recommend TFT.

My daughter went on a TFT trip for older teens to Portugal, Spain and Morocco. She had a fabulous time: the other teens were fun and welcoming, the trip was well organized and filled with unique experiences and activities, and the travel days were well planned. As a parent, I appreciated the easy to use portal to manage payments and get information and the daily emails and photos I received from the trip leader during the trip. I had no concerns about her safety while she was away and knew that if I had an issue, the TFT staff would be responsive as they had been with questions I had while planning. We will definitely book our younger daughter on a future trip.

This was our first experience with TFT, and we couldn’t have been happier! My daughter went on the middle school Greece and Italy trip and truly had the time of her life. She connected with other kids right away, made great friends, and is already asking when she can sign up for another trip! As a parent, I was really impressed with how organized everything was. The communication from the TFT administration, airport coordinators, and trip leaders was excellent, and we didn’t worry for an instant—we always felt like she was in great hands. We also looked forward to the daily emails and photos from the trip leader. It was so fun to see what the group had been doing each day and to get a glimpse into all the amazing experiences they were having. It was such an incredible experience for her, and we would absolutely recommend TFT to other families!

Travel For Teens exceeded every expectation we had. Like many parents, we hoped our daughter would have fun, make friends, and improve her Spanish. What we didn't anticipate was just how much she would grow in only two weeks. From surfing in San Sebastián and exploring the streets of Barcelona to navigating metros, riding high-speed trains across Spain, and experiencing authentic Spanish culture through language classes, local markets, cooking classes, and flamenco, every day struck the perfect balance between adventure, education, and independence. One of the biggest surprises was the quality of the overall experience. The accommodations were consistently excellent, the food was outstanding, and the itinerary was thoughtfully designed. Rather than simply checking off tourist attractions, the trip immersed the students in the culture through meaningful experiences, incredible meals, and opportunities to connect with local life. Many of the restaurants, activities, and experiences were on par with—or honestly even better than—what we would have planned for our own family vacation. What truly made this experience exceptional, however, was the people. Rebecca and Veta were extraordinary leaders. Their nightly updates kept us connected without taking away from our daughter's independence, and their thoughtful planning, enthusiasm, and genuine care were evident every step of the way. They weren't simply leading a tour—they created an environment where every student felt safe, included, supported, and encouraged to step outside their comfort zone. One of the moments that meant the most to us came after the trip when Veta shared that our daugher "radiated such kindness throughout the entire trip." As parents, there are few compliments more meaningful than knowing your child was recognized not just for what she accomplished, but for who she is. Rebecca also shared that, after thirteen years leading Travel For Teens programs, this had been one of her favorite groups because they were "kind, responsible, playful, and inclusive." That speaks volumes about the culture Travel For Teens fosters. Our daughter returned home with greater confidence, stronger Spanish skills, lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and a broader understanding of the world and her place in it. This wasn't simply a vacation—it was an experience that challenged her, inspired her, and helped her grow into a more confident, curious, and independent young woman. We are incredibly grateful to the entire Travel For Teens team and wholeheartedly recommend this program to any family looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and truly transformative experience for their teenager. Thank you for giving our daughter the adventure of a lifetime. We know she'll carry these memories—and the lessons she learned—with her forever.
