Adventure Tours in Italy

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.

As parents of a kid who has always loved camp, we thought we knew what a great summer experience looked like. Then our son went on Putney Student Travel’s Italy & Greece middle school program, and it changed our perspective entirely. He came home a different kid: more confident, independent, mature and excited about the world. He didn’t want it to end, and months later he’s still talking about the people he met. What makes Putney extraordinary is the people. The leaders were exceptional, and our son still keeps in close touch with them, along with the friends he made on the trip. I wouldn’t be surprised if they organize their own reunion over spring break! From the leaders to the directors, everyone at Putney makes you feel your child is genuinely known and cared for, as if he were one of their own. As parents, there is no greater reassurance. Putney gave our son far more than a trip. It gave him room to grow, lasting friendships, a new sense of independence and courage, and a real drive to learn about the world. We’ve even noticed a difference in his engagement at school this semester. We sent him hoping for a wonderful adventure; he came back with something far more meaningful. We can’t imagine sending our children anywhere else. Our son is already planning to return for the next four years, and we can’t wait for our daughter to experience Putney when she reaches middle school. Putney has earned our trust in a way very few organizations ever could, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family.

He also stays connected with the friends he made on the trip, and I wouldn't be surprised if they organize their own reunion over spring break! The relationships that have continued long after the program ended speak volumes about the experience Putney creates. Every person at Putney, from the leaders to the directors, makes you feel that your child is genuinely known, cared for, and treated as if they were their own. As parents, there is no greater reassurance. Putney gave our son so much more than a life-changing trip to Italy and Greece. It gave him room to grow, lasting friendships, a newfound sense of independence and courage, a genuine drive to learn more about the world, and memories and connections that will stay with him for years to come. We have even noticed a difference in his excitement and engagement with learning at school this semester. We sent him hoping he would have a wonderful adventure; we watched him return with something far more meaningful. We honestly cannot imagine sending our children anywhere else. Our son is already planning to return for the next four years, and we cannot wait for our daughter to experience Putney when she reaches middle school age. The fact that we are already planning years ahead speaks for itself. Putney has earned our trust in a way very few organizations ever could, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family fortunate enough to experience the magic they create through their programs.

Travel For Teen’s Alpine Adventure gave me opportunities that no other company could top. Whether it was zip lining through the Swiss Alps or even paragliding from above the French Alps, these experiences were truly a once in a lifetime experience. Cultural experiences were also at the forefront of the trip with nights filled with delicious cuisine from all three countries. To wrap it up, there’s nothing I would’ve have traded for such a great trip, and I recommend this to any teen wanting to get out of their comfort zone.

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!!!

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!

In rome me and my roomates had so much fun! We all hung out in eachothers room and talked about ourselves. It was exteremly helpful while meeting new people. I really enjoyed shopping in rome as well and getting to explore all over. There was a lot of indepence and I really enjoyed that part of the trip.

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!

The summer of 2026 was my first time adventuring abroad through Travel For Teens. I really enjoyed my counselor’s enthusiasm upon arrival. Meeting new people my age from different parts of the world is always so awkward or silent at first, but getting to know them as the days go by makes me realize how fun it is to get to know others. My Greece and Italy trip was so fun. I played Mamma Mia music because I was in Greece and everybody joined in which is so cool. I got to see so much history, and the views were incredible. I really enjoyed my time and that’s why I’ll be going to another country using Travel For Teens!

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!
