Why group travel? Group travel keeps tours affordable, allowing more students to see the world Combined groups get the best value Tour choice and departure date flexibility to match with other groups Meet other students from around the country Our departure date window is 4 days on each side of our requested date Traveling with EF

What’s included? Full-time Tour Director Licensed local guides Entrance fees to select attractions All-Inclusive Coverage Plan Educational Itinerary Round-trip flights on major carriers Hotels with private bathrooms Comfortable motorcoach Breakfast and dinner daily

Rooming! Student Rooming Students are roomed 3 or 4 to a room all of the same gender. Rooming assignments are done on tour. If a student would like to upgrade to a twin room (with a parent for example) they can for an upgrade fee of $30/night. Adult Rooming Adults are roomed two to a room in either a twin room (2 beds) or a double room (1 double bed). Adults can upgrade to a single room for an upgrade fee of $40/night. Family Rooms We can accommodate family rooms of 3 (two adults and 1 student or 2 students and 1 adult) for no upgrade fee. You can request a rooming upgrade by calling customer service,

All-Inclusive Coverage Plan The plan covers your child for: Tour cancellation and interruption Illness and accident Baggage and property Flight delay 24-hour access to an English-speaking representative For more information visit eftours.com/coverage or call EF’s Customer Service Department at

My approach to safety If a traveler (student or adult) violates my rules, I have the right to send them home from tour at the parents’ expense.

What are you responsible for? These are all necessities each traveler will be responsible for on this tour. Spending money for optional excursions, free time activities, souvenirs, beverages, lunches and snacks ($30-$65 per day) Tips for your Tour Director, bus driver and local guides (around $10 per day) Passport and/or visa fees

Things to consider 130 days out Passports Tour Handbook Special Travel Arrangements Late Payments Packing List 8

Passports and visas All travelers are responsible for securing necessary documentation Valid passports are required for all travelers Passports may take up to 14 weeks to process Some destinations may require travel visas Non-U.S. citizens may require special visas or other travel documents Important note: Passports must be valid for at least six months after our scheduled return date

Tour Handbook Each traveller should have already received their tour handbook. This has important pre-tour information inside that is designed specifically for travellers and their parents. 10

Individual Special Travel If you have decided to make special travel plans on your own, requests should be submitted as soon as possible. The deadline is 110 days prior to departure. Individual special travel includes going ahead of the tour or staying behind on your own, departing from a different domestic gateway than the rest of the group or making your own flight arrangements (joining the tour of the group at the first hotel on the itinerary). Do not finalize any plans or purchase airline tickets until the tour and dates have been confirmed. Please note that special travel requests are booked separately from the group itinerary. EF cannot guarantee that you will be traveling with your group on the outbound or return flights. Check your Group Status Report to make sure any special travel arrangements are confirmed. 11

Late Payments If you are not enrolled in the Monthly Payment Plan, payments made after 110 days prior to departure are late and are subject to a non-refundable $145 late fee. Late payments must be made by debit or credit card, certified check or money order. Personal checks are not accepted. Call Customer Service at or send late payments via overnight mail to: EF Educational Tours Attn: Account Services One Educational Stret Cambridge, MA

Suggested Packing List Packing List Pack light! You'll be toting your own luggage around at the airports and hotels, so bring only what you need—ideally in one suitcase and one carry-on bag. We also ask travelers to be conscientious of cultural differences and pack accordingly. Keep in mind that some religious sites require that shirts cover the shoulders and arms and do not allow short skirts or flip-flops. Clothing and Accessories Comfortable walking shoes and one pair of nicer shoesShirts (short and long sleeved) Socks and underwearWatch Shorts/pants/jeansPajamas Bathing suit (if applicable)Dressier outfit (reserved for a special night out) Raincoat and/or umbrellaLightweight nylon jacket or warm-up top ToiletriesToothbrush ToothpasteShampoo/conditioner SoapDeodorant Hairbrush/combSunscreen Any medications (in addition to a copy of any prescription)Spare set of contact lenses/glasses (if applicable) MoneyATM card Personal credit cardAt least $50 converted to Euros Pouch for storing money and passport under clothing (available at travel stores) Electronics An alarm clock (many hotel rooms won't have one)An adaptor/converter (available at travel stores) Camera with extra batteries or chargers (Batteries can be expensive abroad.) Documents Passport—it is required on all EF Educational Tours. Remember to bring a couple photocopies of it (in case it is lost) and leave one copy at home 13

Other Essentials A copy of the tour itinerary A list of important phone numbers and addresses to send postcards home Copy of any prescriptions (Customs officials may want to verify that a container's contents match its label, so all medication should be carried in its original container.) Carry-on bag The EF backpack is a perfect carry-on bag. Here’s a short list of things travelers might need on the first day of the trip. These should be packed in the carry-on in case the checked luggage is delayed: Passport Money Airline ticket Notebook and writing utensils Toothbrush and toothpaste (Check tsa.gov for current security requirements.)
