Adventure Tours in Florence, Italy

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.

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.

From paragliding above the Swiss Alps to cruising along the Seine past the Eiffel Tower, this was the most incredible trip I have ever experienced. While the company and friends I made along the way were what ultimately made the trip, the counselors, adventures, and new cultures also left behind a truly impactful effect. This trip allowed me to build my confidence, skill set, and independence by creating an environment that allowed me to make mistakes, learn, and grow. Travel For Teens fosters an amazing family through their communication and leaders that make their trips feel like family by the end. I wouldn't trade my experience for the world.

I just learned about the TFT programs. The programs look amazing I plan on doing a trip in 2024. I really excited to meet new people, travel and learn about different cultures. I want to try as many programs that they offer so I can see the world

This summer I had the opportunity to go on the European Explorer 25 day trip. On this trip we went to 5 countries; Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and France. At first I was extremely nervous to go on the trip because I would be leaving the country with 11 other kids that I did not know. When I got to the airport, I immediately realized that every other person on the trip was in the exact same boat as I was and we all started talking and immediately became best friends. This trip gave me the opportunity to not only have so much fun with the best people, but I also learned so much on the trip. My counselors were amazing and were able to balance having fun and taking advantage of teaching opportunities so well. They also made me feel safe during the entirety of the trip and the accommodations felt safe and clean. While I was in all of these countries I was able to be fully immersed in the culture. While we did all of the big touristy attractions we also got to experience authentic food and have authentic cultural experiences. We did a variation of activities so everyone got to do something they like. From shopping to swimming to hiking to sightseeing there was truly something for everyone. I met people that are now my best friends and I talk to them everyday and made some of the best memories that I will never forget. TFT provided me with the best summer I could have ever imagined and I would recommend it to anyone who asked.

Traveling with TFT into Europe for 30 days was an incredible experience that I am so glad that I went on. Not only was it fun and cool by seeing all the different places around Europe such as the Romanian Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower, the most memorable experience was making so many new friends. During my 30 days in Europe I have made such close bonds with the people that I have traveled with that they will last a lifetime. Not only was it exciting traveling with the other campers, it was also fun meeting the consolers as they were all friendly and supportive. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone as this will be one of your most memorable things in your life.

I went on The Experiment in International Living's trip to Italy this past July and it was an incredibly unique and exciting experience. I got to see new places and experience new things all while learning about Italian culture and cuisines and connecting with the other kids in my group along the way. The in country partners and individual group leaders were amazing and really helped the trip go smoothly. Overall it was a very positive experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to really get a feel for many of the different parts of Italy.

Traveling with TFT absolutely changed my life. When I left, I had never set foot outside of the United States; when I returned, I'd added three new countries (and their public transit systems) to my list! The trip gave me a taste of a few cultures so different from my own in the best way possible. Really, TFT opened my eyes to all the world has to offer. It was a whirlwind of once-in-a-lifetime experiences: climbing the Duomo in Florence, cooking lessons and flamenco shows in Barcelona, wandering centuries-old streets in Rome, and tasting authentic French pastries in Paris. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to explore Europe with Travel For Teens—if you get the chance, take it!

The Italy, Spain, and France trip was my first experience traveling without my family. I was so nervous going into the trip, I had no idea what to expect. But I can say now that the trip was one of the best trips of my life. My counselors were so kind and supportive through every step of the process. I made life long friend ships with the other campers on the trip, it has been three years since the trip and we still visit each other at college when we can. On our trip we experienced all the major cities had to offer, and more! It was an amazing first trip experience that I will never forgot and gave me the confidence to begin traveling more on my own.

I had a great time. We had a weeklong culinary training program. The host family was so nice. Italy was beautiful. We were in many different cities in Italy. I established friendships with the group members. The group leaders were fantastic. If you are hesitant to go on this trip, do it.

My trip with Travel For Teens was filled with adventure, opportunities for growth, excitement, and laughter. The staff at TFT is dedicated to making each traveler’s experience the best that it can be. Last summer, I visited Paris, Italy, and Switzerland with travel for teens. The trip I traveled with was small, only about 14 students, which is an average size group for TFT. Each traveler experienced each city in the way that was most beneficial for them. You were allowed to go off on her own with your friends and eat at local restaurants and shop at thrift stores, as well as having the opportunity to explore the Louvre, go paragliding in the Swiss Alps, and so much more. I will always be a fan of TFT, and plan on staying involved in the company for as long as I am able to. Going from a traveler to a CIT has allowed me to see the trip from the perspective of a student as well as the perspective of an employee and has taught me how much effort goes into making sure each traveler has incredible experience.

In the summer of 2018 I went on Travel for Teens’ “Europe for Older Teens: Florence, Cinque-Terre, Switzerland, and Paris” AND “Europe for Older Teens: Amsterdam, Munich, Swiss Alps, and Venice.” I can very honestly say that it was the best summer experience of my entire life thanks. I set out with the simple intention of being more well traveled and hopefully making a couple new friends, and that I certainly did. I couldn’t believe it! I actually made connections with people that I truly feel are going to last a lifetime. I’ve met up with friends I met over the summer since then and I carry the memories of those trips with me everyday. I would recommend those two trips especially because I felt as though I saw a good spread of Europe. Those are also some of the most historically fascinating destinations in the world, not to mention the food (nothing quite like Gelato in Florence). Switzerland is probably my new favorite place in the world and I absolutely can not wait to return to the karaoke nights and basking in the beautiful mountain range view from the balcony. If you have the opportunity to travel with TFT...take it! I will never forget my experience:) Alayna Donovan 16 Kansas

Travel for Teens provided me with the opportunity to not only explore new cultures and sights, but also allowed me to experience life as a local not a tourist. My trip to Italy, Switzerland, and France completely changed my life by instilling an appreciation for other languages, foods, and traditions. One of my favorite parts was traveling with a group of students my age and the extremely knowledgeable and passionate counselors who I still communicate with to this day.

Travel for Teens totally changed my life. TFT not only helped me become more independent, but it’s also helped me make life long friends. The overall experience was one of a kind, and it is one that I will never forget. The counselors were amazing and they made the trip so much more fun and relaxing. The trip was very organized which helped my family always know what I was doing, and by having a schedule as a group we were able to see so much more. I did the Ultimate Europe for 21 days and I totally recommend taking a trip with TFT!

The Travel for Teens trip to Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland and Paris 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.

I had the best experience on this trip. Everyday there was a new adventure, from sun up to sun down. I met lifelong friends and have memories that I will treasure forever. When you travel with TFT you get the full experience to be a traveler, not a tourist. Staying in hostiles, traveling by train, and trying authentic cuisine was truly spectacular. I got to experience the most amazing landscapes and incredible activities. I got to check some things off the bucket list: paragliding in the Swiss Alps, go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, see the Statue of David, etc.

On my trip with TFT i was able to learn so much about the cultures around me as well as those within my own country since i met 23 others from all around the United States. It was a trip of the lifetime and i was able to do things and have experiences i wouldn’t have otherwise. I would go back on another TFT trip any day if i could!

I participated in the Ultimate Europe cultural immersion program in the summer of 2016 and could not love a company, group of people, or experience more. I am currently a high school senior and have written numerous college essays on my love for everything TFT has provided me with. We toured a new city every 2-3 days, and while that seems like a short amount of time, our trip director packed it with tours of museums or historic sites that really made us feel like travelers, not tourists, as their motto goes.

I went into this trip knowing nobody and not having been to 2/3 countries that I visited. I left with a ton of new friends and experiences that I will never forget. This trip was my favorite that I have ever been on. The counselors were organized and awesome and the other kids were great!! The food we ate was unforgettable and the excursions we went on were unbelievable. My personal favorite was definitely paragliding in Switzerland. I had an injury the entire time and everyone was super accommodating and helpful. I never felt in danger or worried at all the entire time either.
