Student Tours Programs in Italy

I had so much fun at Putney on my Greece and Italy trip. My leaders were well-educated and made the experience so much fun. The students that were with me were kind and inclusive and I came home with so many new friends. Overall, I loved my experience with Putney and am planning to come back next year.

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.

My trip to Italy was truly an extraordinary vacation and I highly recommend! We went from city to city, trying different foods, and many fun experiences like a private cooking lesson and visiting the Coliseum. I had so much fun that I've decided to go on a second trip with Travel for Teens this summer.

Going on Travel for Teens' Greece and Italy adventure was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I got to travel to incredible places like Capri, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Athens, and Lefkada. As someone who hadn't ever been out of the country by myself, Travel for Teens allowed me to feel safe and confident about being in a country with people I had never met before. It was super easy to make friends, to feel safe with my councillors, and to have fun. I always look back on that trip as transformative (for myself), and the highlight of my summer. I think travel for teens did a great job with the itinerary, and also picking councillors that were very good connecting with the students. Overall, I had a great time being apart of Travel for Teens' program.

Honestly, it was SO much fun. We did so many cool things, saw incredible places, and I made some of my best friends on this trip. It was definitely expensive, but 100% worth it for everything we got to do and the memories we made. Seriously, if you get the chance, go for it!

Traveling to Greece and Italy was seriously one of the best experiences of my life. This was my first time traveling internationally, and I was originally nervous. This trip forced me out of my comfort zone, but in the best way possible. The counselors made sure to listen and adapt with the students, and every day felt like a blessing. You will get to do things you’ve never thought was possible in your lifetime. We went to the best stores, ate the best food (seriously still thinking about that pizza 😋) and had the best time. If you are worried about making friends-have no fear. I was also one of those students, but the friendly environment dissipated my fears. Have the best time on your trip- I know you will 😘

This trip had everything!! I got to go hiking up to a waterfall, have a snowball fight on a glacier, go canyoning and mountain biking, do ropes courses and zip lines, and climb up mountains while also getting to walk around cute places and take pictures, swim in lakes and tan, go shopping, walk around a castle, go to a water park, have a karaoke night, and of course try all the cool European food! Everyone on this trip was so much fun and I had the time of my life!!

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.

Obviously as a teen, it can be stressful traveling across the world alone. Travel For Teens does a phenomenal job of easing stress and making your experience as smooth as possible! The night before my trip my flights to Greece got canceled. My trip coordinator already had me on new flights before I even knew my flight was canceled! The staff go above and beyond to make the trip fun for everyone on the trip. There is an itinerary but it is not set in stone and the counselors are super flexible with incorporating everyone’s wishes into the schedule! There is not a company I would trust more with traveling abroad. My specific group traveled to Athens, Delphi, Lefkada, Naples, Sorrento, Positano, Capri, and Rome. I would not trade the experience for the world and I have new friendships that will last a life time.

Our daughter had a fantastic experience. The staff were responsible and the other students were friendly and a lot of fun. She learned a lot about Italian art and gelato! She made great friends and wishes she could do it all again!

This has been my favorite program out of the 4 that I've done with RP. Every moment that I spent in Italy was rather unforgettable. I had so much fun and I’ve met people that I consider lifelong friends now. Highly recommend it.

Hi Brian! We're glad that you had such an unforgettable time in Italy and that you made such great friends. Also a BIG thank you for joining us in Italy for your fourth Rustic adventure. We hope to see you next summer!

I had so much fun exploring and being in Italy. I met so many amazing people and loved my PLs. Exploring Italy was better than I had imagined and I loved trying new foods, exploring the cities, and shopping with my friends.

Exploring and shopping in Italy with new friends?!! Say no more, Alisa! That sounds like the perfect time. We're glad you had so much fun on our Italy program. We hope we see you again next summer!

The best Rustic trip I’ve been on out of 3. It was just totally awesome and I loved that we had so much opportunity to do and try new and amazing things. My PL’s were awesome and my group was so fun!!

Hey! We're so happy that you had the best time this summer, Lila! Our Program Leaders are pretty awesome, and we're happy you tried new things too. We hope next summer brings you back to Rustic!

My experience on my trip to Italy and Greece with Putney Student Travel was the highlight of my year! I made many new friends along the way all from different places that made the trip even more enjoyable. I discovered many new foods, places, and cultures. I found a new person within myself that made me into a very out going and living to my fullest person. Having had the opportunity to be apart of the Italy and Greece trip was the best trip to occur during my summer and has filled me with endless beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

My son went on the OnTour European Experience trip last summer. This has been the most incredible experience he has had the privilege and opportunity to participate in. The culture he gained was incredible and Westcoast was amazing to deal with. The trip was incredibly well organized, professional and compassionate. This was truly the experience of a lifetime and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering this for their teen.

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 went on TFT's Alpine Adventure program in the summer during Covid times, and despite the world wide pandemic I had the best summer of my life! This was my first trip with TFT and I wasn't sure which program to go on, so I decided to do a multi country trip. After an overnight flight to Paris I began my journey in Annecy, France. This trip is very adventure and activity based which is a great way to experience new countries. We didn't just see famous sites and move on. We actually stopped and enjoyed the places were staying. I got to talk to locals, have local tour guides who took us around the country, and go to amazing restaurants that are off the beaten path of most tourists! I think my favorite part of this trip was paragliding over Lake Annecy. Which is surprising to me because I am terrified of heights, truly terrified. My trip leaders could tell how nervous I was so they put me in a middle group and had one of them go in the group with me! If it wasn't for their support and encouragement I don't know if I would ever have been able to do it. But I did! And while it was still scary I don't regret it because it was one of the coolest experiences of my life! I highly recommend this trip to people who don't just want to stop in the major cities and explore tourist attractions. But who want to go off the beaten path and explore the beautiful nature and adventure that these countries hold!

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
