What makes a trip to Europe with TFT special?

Authentic Meals

Europe is famous for its the wide variety of cuisine and we eat where the locals eat! We avoid chain restaurants and encourage our groups to try new foods (Yes, that means trying escargot in Paris and the infamous haggis of Scotland!)

Age Specific Tours

We offer trips to Europe for specific age groups. There are tours exclusively for middle school, 9th and 10th graders, and “older teens” finishing 11th and 12th grade. Each tour is uniquely designed to be age appropriate.

Central Accommodation

Other companies cut costs by staying outside the city center, but we stay right in the middle of the action! Our hotels are always carefully chosen for a great and safe location that allows us to maximize our time exploring and feel more like a local.

Unparalleled Experience

Did you know TFT started running tours to Europe over 20 years ago? Since then Europe has become one of our most popular destinations, and we offer more trips to Europe and visit more countries than any other teen travel company!

Frequently Asked Questions

See all FAQs

Is Europe safe for teen travelers?

Yes, Europe is considered one of the safest regions in the world for international travel. Our priority is safety, and all programs include expert, highly-trained trip leaders who manage all logistics, transportation, and accommodation. We teach essential safety practices for things like using public transport and navigating city centers, ensuring a secure and supervised group environment at all times.

 

 

Will I be able to communicate if I don't speak the local language?

Absolutely! English is widely spoken in major cities and tourist areas across Europe. Our Trip Leaders are experts in the countries we visit, and they are always available to assist. For many activities, we use English-speaking local guides who can share in-depth knowledge and ensure you don’t miss a thing. We encourage you to learn a few basic phrases in each country—it’s fun and a great way to respectfully engage with local culture!

What kind of programs do you offer in Europe?

We offer a diverse range of programs across Europe designed to match every teen’s interests. Many of our programs fall into on or more of these main categories: Cultural Exploration, where you experience the history, art, and iconic landmarks of major European cities (e.g., Paris, Rome, Athens); Outdoor Adventure, focused on high-energy activities like hiking, rafting, kayaking, and canyoning in regions with stunning natural landscapes; Language Immersion, which combines cultural trips with daily formal language instruction and real-world practice; and Community Service, offering opportunities to give back and work alongside local communities in select destinations.

What are the accommodations like on the Europe programs??

We prioritize safe, comfortable, and centrally located hotels that allow you to maximize your time exploring. We avoid staying on the outskirts of cities; instead, our hotels are always chosen for their prime, safe locations right in the heart of historic neighborhoods or close to major transport hubs. Rooms are clean, equipped with modern amenities, and our Trip Leaders ensure a secure environment where you can relax and recharge after an adventurous day.

 

Authenticity is ingrained in everything we do. Eat, stay, and travel like a local.

"I have been so fortunate to experience two unbelievable TFT trips.  I have visited destinations in Europe that were so beautiful that words cannot describe it.  Through these trips I have gained many stories that I look forward to sharing, I have gained confidence in myself to be independent, and I have tasted food that can only be dreamt about. I was able to go paragliding through the Swiss Alps, go canyoning in Slovenia, island hopping in Croatia, visit the Louvre, and climb the Eiffel Tower. The opportunities that were provided through TFT were amazing and I would recommend any of their trips because you will have a once in a lifetime experience."

Allison O. Shelbyville, IL

"We cannot thank you enough for ensuring that our Avril had the absolute trip of a lifetime these last couple of weeks.She has had such an amazing experience not only seeing all the beautiful sites that Europe has to offer but most importantly she seems to have made such meaningful connections and memories with the kids in the group. She had a pretty tough year at home so we thought sending her on this adventure would do her good. Thankfully she wanted to do this just as much herself and we were so proud of her for undertaking this journey. We had hoped that she would have a good time and enjoy the experience but seeing the pictures and hearing all the stories it was much more than we could’ve hoped for. We haven’t seen her this happy in a long time! We are hoping that she will take all she has seen and learned on this ISF trip with her and that it will help her move forward in a positive way! I can Imagine that chaperoning a group of teenagers through Europe is challenging to say the least but you guys did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for looking after Avril, for making sure the kids had such a fantastic experience and for making sure she got home in one piece. We are truly grateful to both of you and TFT. We are already missing the daily email updates and Waldo pictures which were such fun to see each day"

Greg and Vanessa F. Pelham, NY

"This trip was everything I could ask for and more. I am a huge adrenaline junkie and this trip did everything it could to help sustain that. Mountain climbing at insane heights, zip lining over canyons, paragliding off of mountains, mountain biking, and cliff diving. What more could you ask for? Additionally, the cities you stay in were beautiful especially Switzerland. Switzerland is often an overlooked country when it comes to Europe but it is definitely one of my favorites and a must for any traveler. The wooden ski villages have an almost holiday charm to them that can not be found anywhere else. It is truly a one of a kind country and you really get to experience it on this trip."

Jackson M. Los Angeles, CA

"The Travel For Teens trip was the best experience of my life! The itinerary for each location was full of amazing activities and excursions that helped me experience the culture of each city like a local. The counselors made sure we always felt safe, but gave us freedom to explore on our own. There is nothing I would change about my two weeks in Europe as they were the best of my life! Thank you, Travel For Teens for some unforgettable memories and the opportunity to meet some lifelong friends."

Muskan U. Cornelius, NC

"I was given the opportunity of a lifetime: to travel across Europe with amazing kids my age and outstanding councillors. This trip showed me beautiful parts of the world I longed to see since I was a little girl. Not only were the people, accommodations and food incredible, but also the activities. Like canyoning down a mountain side in the middle of the Swiss alps, paddle  boating in the canals of Amsterdam and riding my bike on a beautiful trail just at the foot of the Neuschwanstein castle to a lake where we could swim to the middle and be facing the German hillside with two beautiful castles. Going on this trip, I can now tell my friends that I’ve traveled across Europe and I’m not even done high school yet. It was truly an incredible experience and I would totally recommend it for any teenagers aspiring to travel."

Sydney J. Ajax, ON

"We would like to thank you for taking Rafael on this amazing experience of East Europe. We know he has been having fun and learning a lot, and we have seen more smiles on the pictures TFT shares with us than we have in the past 2 years combined!"

Carolina L. New York, NY

"Thanks to Travel For Teens, I had an amazing summer and I can't wait to have another one this year! I went on this trip without knowing anyone and I left with a group of new friends. We started in Berlin, we saw everything from lush parks to 13th-century churches to beautiful art museums. Then Paris, we climbed so many tourist attractions, Arc de Triumph, the hills of Montmartre and of course The Eiffel Tower. There was so much culture in London, from Abbey Road to Harry Potter there is something for everyone! I highly recommend this trip for anyone new to Europe and looking for an interesting trip filled with history, culture, and adventure!"

Amelia T. Berwyn, PA

"I went on the Greece and Italy: Island Service and Italian Adventure trip and was blown away by the food, the counselors, and the other teens I was able to become great friends with and stay in touch with. This European trip was my second time with travel for teens and each trip was so different and so special. In Greece I was able to have Greek food for the first time and volunteer at super interesting places like a local farm and a shelter for children. In Italy I had the opportunity to shop and tour places like the Vatican, The Colosseum (which is 10 times cooler in person), and many other famous landmarks that make Italy special. My favorite day was definitely taking a small boat for hours and being able to relax along the Amalfi Coast and get to stop in places like Amalfi and Positano. This trip was seriously life changing and eye opening and makes me want to do a third trip."
