Our first stop is London. Bright, buzzing and full of life, London is one of the most eclectic and exciting cities in the world.

Explore some of the greatest museums in the world, take a midnight ghost tour, and walk in the steps of the Beatles at Abbey Road. Learn about England's central role in both World Wars and tour Churchill's WWII command center, and go further back in time to learn about Royal England at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. You will ponder the enduring enigma of Stonehenge and walk the historic streets of Cambridge.

Say farewell to England as you shoot through the Chunnel to France, where you will spend four days in Paris. The TFT Paris experience is like no other - you will experience the city as a Parisian, eating a picnic lunch on the banks of the Seine, lounging in the gardens, and seeing the great Louvre Museum.

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.
