Description

This trip consistently ranks among the most popular summer adventures TFT has to offer! And it's no wonder, since our voyage through this region combines some of the Europe's most desirable destinations, sights, and attractions with tons of little-known gems that attentive and interested travelers seek out. On this trip we gain access to the distinct cultures of these three very diverse countries (The Netherlands, Belgium, and France), and we devote our attention to understanding not only what makes them all unique but also the ways in which they are intimately entwined.

Our first destination is Amsterdam, a favorite stop for backpackers and young travelers, where we tour the city's gardens and squares, take in a bit of its nightlife, and enjoy the art and history on display. Then we head to Belgium, a destination often overlooked by tourists but overflowing with amazing sites and activities. We tour the canals of Bruges (often called "the Venice of Northern Europe"), learn the art of handcrafted chocolate in Brussels, and shop in Antwerp. Along the way, we pause to reflect on the lessons of modern history, as we visit the site of a former concentration camp.

We round out our travels in Paris, City of Light, where we stay just steps away from Notre Dame Cathedral. We tour the Louvre, picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens, enjoy the spectacle of the city at night, dine on fabulous food, pop into the shops along the Champs Élysée, and climb to the tops of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. With the help of our expert staff, you'll have enough choices and insider knowledge to make this trip truly unforgettable!

Travel For Teens's Mission Statement

Travel for Teens believes that teen travel should be both fun and enriching. Our programs feature choice in what you do, see, and experience, a dynamic that sets us apart from superficial tours that herd large groups from one site to another. We visit the best of the mainstream attractions while offering the opportunity to explore the culture from a less touristy perspective. We interact with our host cultures, taking cooking and dance lessons, performing valuable service work to help local communities, and conversing with the people who have spent their lives living in the places we journey to. We have crafted our unique programs to engender love for travel, hunger for learning, curiosity about differences, appreciation of similarities across cultures, and an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.
