Do it the way it's meant to be done and visit Amsterdam, Bavaria, the Swiss Alps, and Venice on this authentic trip to some of the most fascinating places in Europe. This trip is limited to older students who are finishing the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades.

We begin in Amsterdam, the elegant city of canals and cobblestone streets and a favorite stop for backpackers and young travelers in the know. Pull out your railpass and jump the next train to Munich, the cultural capital of Bavaria and home to the Oktoberfest festival. This ancient city, meticulously rebuilt after WWII, is a prime stop on the euro-backpacking circuit. Our next train brings us to the idyllic Swiss Alps, a landscape of dramatic mountains, valleys and alpine pastures with views over the Rhone valley. Romantic and mysterious Venice is last, the perfect setting to wrap up this Euro adventure.

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.
