TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights from our Itinerary: http://www.eftours.com/educational-tour/ap-european-history

that Europe has to offer. On your tour through London, visit the Trafalgar Square
and the Westminster Abbey. Check out the London bridge and visit historical
sights impacted during the English Renaissance.
• In Paris, you’ll see everything that adds to it’s overwhelming beauty and charm.
Visit the Louvre, which holds world famous works of art, admire the Notre Dame
Cathedral, and snap a photo in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower.
• Traveling through Florence and Rome, live “La Dolce Vita.” In Florence, follow
your expert guide to the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and La Chiesa di
Santa Croce. In Rome, enter into the famous Colosseum, see the Pope at the
Vatican, and end your night enjoying a ‘gelato’.

Traveling with EF
A MORE ENGAGING
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Students learn on a deeper level when their
lessons connect to their own lives. EF’s
weShare platform makes sure that happens
on tour.
• Taps into each student’s strengths and passions
• Helps put a more personal lens on their experience
• Gives students a chance to reflect on and share what
they’ve learned through post-tour presentations and
videos
• Provides opportunity to earn high school or college credit
• Note: Your son’s work would be submitted to
Eastern Oregon University to be graded – and that
is where he can earn the 3 credits in a college
Humanities course. The cost to submit it is around
$250.

MY APPROACH
TO SAFETY
See: St. Rita of Cascia High
School Code of Conduct
handout (attached to the email this
PowerPoint was sent with).
The same rules and behavioral
expectations that apply to school
will apply on my tour.
If a traveler violates my rules, I
have the right to send them home
from tour at the parents’ expense.
WHAT ARE YOU
RESPONSIBLE FOR?
• 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
These are all necessities each
traveler will be responsible for on
this tour.
