I had an extremely fun time on this trip. I met a lot of really nice people and made lifelong friendships. The counselors took great care of us and always made sure we were safe. We went to a wide variety of super cool places and constantly did fun activites. This trip is truly one of the best experiences of my life.
This was the best trip of my life!! I met so many people on this trip who I now consider my best friends and who I talk to on a daily baises! I loved the itenairy and the way that the trip went was the best possible way I could ask!!
I had the best time on my TFT trip to Italy, Spain, and France, where we visited Rome, Florence, Barcelona, and Paris! The trip was the perfect mix of city exploration, cultural experiences, and coastal scenery. Some of my favorite highlights included taking a cooking class in Montalcino, cruising along the Seine River, visiting the Colosseum and the Sagrada Familia, exploring Florence's leather shops, and seeing the Eiffel Tower. I also loved trying new foods and experiencing the different cultures throughout the trip. The TFT trip directors are incredible! They are so accommodating, organized, and welcoming, and they made sure everyone felt included and had an amazing experience. Travel For Teens gave me the opportunity to explore new places, experience different cultures, and make memories I'll never forget. Having traveled with TFT multiple summers, I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable trip filled with new adventures and amazing people!

I've had the privilege of traveling with TFT for the past few years on several different trips, and each trip not only taught me something about the world, but about myself. I can accredit TFT with some of my best friends and some of my favorite memories!! It is one of the best decisions I've ever made and I would recommend it to anybody!!!
This was my second trip on trial for teens and they’ve both been extraordinary. The trip planning really stood out because they’re very well planned down to the hour and the staff have ordered also very caring and hopeful. Lastly, the other kids were all nice and they were easy to become friends with.

I did my second trip with TFT to Italy, Switzerland, and France and it couldn't have been better!! TFT's trips create a really open yet safe environment- giving us freedom in safe areas to feel like locals while having structured tours of important sites. They created a really awesome environment that allowed me to make quick friends with the other kids on the trip. If you're able to do a trip with TFT, definitely do it. I have memories that will stick with me forever!



Program: TFT Older Teens: London, Paris, French Riviera & Barcelona
This past summer I went on Travel for Teen’s London, Paris, French Riviera, and Barcelona trip! I went with around 14 other teens who were all super nice!! On this trip we participated in fun activities like a bike tour of Paris, the beach, shopping, climbing the Eiffel Tower, visiting a perfume factory and more. We also had some freedom to choose what we would like to do and had free time on our own within safe perimeters. The locations we ate at had a variety of food options and we also visited different restaurants that offered a variety of cuisines like Indian and traditional English food! It was so much fun!

Program: TFT Older Teens: Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland & Paris
This trip was such a good experience! Everyday we would have a group activity and we would also get free time which was nice because we got to explore around each city. All of the accommodations were really nice and clean. The meals were very flexible and the restaurants were nice and had some good variety. Overall I’d say this trip was amazing and if you’re considering going you should!

I was on the Italy, Switzerland, and France TFT trip the summer before my junior year, and it was the best experience. It was such a good blend of destinations, from Italian beaches, Swiss Mountains, and city life in Paris. The trip was filled with fun excursions such as paragliding, canyoning, and hiking, but also gave kids enough down time to be able to walk around towns or relax on the beach. As someone who is adventurous and has always loved to explore, this trip was perfect as TFT made time for exploring the local culture and daily life of the places we visited. Seeing the leather market in Firenze and eating local Parisian food was so much fun and also allowed me time to talk to locals about their home country. The staff of TFT were incredible and they always made sure everyone was happy with the trip through consistent check-ins, asking if there was anything else we needed or wanted to do to make our trip even better. If you have a kid who is adventurous and wants experience being more independent before college, I highly recommend TFT trips.
When going into a trip abroad, young and without your family, this trip truly strengthens you through the trust you can have in your counselor. I will forever cherish this trip for the strength it gave me. I have made many of my best friends through these trips.

I have done other teen tours but nothing compared to Travel for Teens. Starting with both of my chaperones (Noah and Claudia), they were genuinely amazing, the sweetest, coolest, and “older sibling” energy. Then, the places we went: My favorite was Switzerland so beautiful and between canyoning and paragliding COULD NOT have asked for anything better. Italy was beautiful and Paris was so much fun. All of the other students on my trip were great, after a couple hours together we all clicked. I came into the trip on my own and left with 15 new friends. I know my parents really appreciated the daily updates from my trip leaders and the pictures they would send. I felt super safe and comfortable the entire time. I would 110% recommend going on a trip with TFT!
This trip was honestly so fun. I went with my friend, but I went alone the year before to Greece and Italy and had no problem making friends. I’d say it’s important to remember to be open to meeting new people of you’re thinking of going with a friend. I had the best time ever! Our counselor was the sweetest, and the itinerary is great. Easy to feel supported in the environment, and we even went to a spooky exhibition that wasn’t on the itinerary! Totally recommend

I had lots of fun on this trip I went with a friend we had a great experience. Our counselors were awesome. We went swimming in Italy and paragliding in Switzerland. Switzerland was probably my favorite stop. It was super beautiful and I would love to go back. I made lots of new friends and had an amazing time. I’m still in contact with some of the people I went on the trip with even though it’s been almost 4 months and I still talk to some from my trip last year. it was overall a great experience.
Program: TFT Older Teens: Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland & Paris
As someone who travels full-time and enjoys blogging about new experiences, this trip was one of the most memorable journeys I've had. Visiting Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland, and Paris gave me the opportunity to experience different cultures, beautiful landscapes, and incredible history in a single adventure. Florence impressed me with its stunning architecture and rich artistic heritage, while Cinque Terre offered colorful coastal villages and breathtaking sea views that were perfect for photography and relaxing walks. During the trip, I captured many memorable moments and later shared some of my travel experiences alongside my gaming and technology articles on my website, 33RS Game (33rsgame.net). Traveling inspires much of my writing, and exploring new places always gives me fresh ideas for creating engaging content. Switzerland was everything I hoped for, with its breathtaking mountain scenery, crystal-clear lakes, and efficient transportation making every day enjoyable. Paris was the perfect destination to end the journey, offering iconic landmarks, charming cafés, beautiful architecture, and an unforgettable atmosphere. The itinerary was well organized, giving us enough time to explore each destination without feeling rushed. I also met wonderful people throughout the journey, making the experience even more enjoyable and meaningful. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone who loves travel, discovering new cultures, and creating unforgettable memories. Whether you're visiting Europe for the first time or returning to experience more, this journey offers an excellent combination of history, nature, culture, and adventure that you'll remember for years to come.

I had so much fun in Spain and France. From the food to the locations to the people it was a blast and TFT made sure to guide us and give us the freedom to explore how we wanted. I have such amazing memories and met awesome people from this trip and would love to go again.
Overall amazing, love using this company every time. Never fails to exceed my expectations. The counselors go above and beyond! Going into my first trip a few years ago, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but once I found the counselors and met more friends I had bonds that lasted a lifetime. This program creates everlasting friendships and memories that stick with me. Best teen travel company out there. So many places to go, highly trained professionals, amazing views , food, hotels, and more.
Before I went on the 30-day Europe trip with TFT I was really nervous. I couldn't help but worry about if I was going to be homesick, make friends, etc. I can genuinely say that this was the best experience of my life. On this trip you get to participate in so much of what Europe has to offer from the art to the food to the scenery. Even though it's been months since I still think about all the inside jokes and friends I made. Everyone was so incredibly nice. Some highlights were the chocolate making class, the private sunset boat tour in cinque terre, paragliding (if you're nervous still do it, it was SO worth it!!!) and seeing taylor swift in concert. I think there was a perfect amount of support from the counselors and independence.
