OVERVIEW

Unlock the best of these two classic capitals

Step into a world where history meets firsthand discovery in two of Europe's most iconic capitals. Engaging cultural experiences (like a theater workshop and perfume-making) go beyond sightseeing and show students what local life is like. By easing into international travel in an English-speaking city first—then immersing students in a new language and culture in Paris—every moment is a chance to grow.

what’s included

More than a trip abroad

With EF, you and your students embark on a learning journey that begins the moment you sign up, and it continues long after you return home. We’re also experts at tour planning and handling travel logistics, so you don’t have to sweat the small (or significant) stuff.

Before you go

Students learn about how to become world travelers and prepare to be immersed in new cultures.

During your tour

Every tour is designed with the EF Method, our curriculum of hands-on learning that builds essential skills students need for their futures.

After you return

You and your students continue to reflect on your growth—and can even earn high school or graduate-level credit.

Frequently asked questions

Let’s unpack that

We’ll connect you with your personal Tour Consultant—someone who works with other teachers in your area and specializes in planning EF tours. They’ll walk you through this itinerary (along with other EF Starter Tours or any tour in our portfolio that you’re curious about), explain student pricing, and show you just how easy it is to partner with EF.

Once you decide to lead our Experience London and Paris tour, your Tour Consultant will help you get school administrators on board, students excited, and families ready to enroll. You’ll host an informational meeting to kick off the enrollment period, and we’ll provide everything you need—from a digital presentation to printed handouts, parent resources, and more.

You’ll have a dedicated Tour Director who will guide your group from the moment you land in London until your final goodbyes in the Paris airport. They:

  • Take all the same transportation and stay in the same hotels as your group

  • Speak the local language (but lead the tour in English!)

  • Support you 24/7 as your right hand

  • Offer deep cultural context to help students feel connected to England and France

  • Handle all the logistics, so you don’t have to

  • Are the secret ingredient that makes your tour truly shine

Yes! You earn a free spot on tour as soon as six paying travelers enroll. For every additional six paying travelers, you earn another free spot for an adult chaperone. For example, if 30 students sign up, that’s five free chaperone spots.

All travelers on international EF tours must have a valid passport. When it comes to documentation, every traveler and destination is different—so once your group starts enrolling, we’ll help direct you and your families to relevant resources.
 
Passports should have at least three blank pages and be valid for at least six months after your return date. 
 
To enter the United Kingdom, U.S. travelers will need an ETA, a new travel authorization that’s not quite a visa. It’s quick to apply for online, low-cost, and valid for multiple trips. Similarly, to enter France (and most EU countries), U.S. travelers will need to go through a similar process for an ETIAS.

EF has set the standard for travel-based learning for 60 years. Not only do our educational tours amplify the lessons that you’re already exploring in your classroom, but they also help build more empathy, open-mindedness, confidence, and cross-cultural understanding.
 
Our educational philosophy, the EF Method, is built into every itinerary—including Experience London and Paris—so your students are immersed in a continuous journey of engaging, hands-on learning in real-world situations from the moment they step off the plane.

Yes—London and Paris are best explored on foot (as is the case for most of our Europe tours), so expect a good amount of walking each day. You’ll have bus time to rest your legs, but comfy sneakers are a must. If any travelers require accommodations, be sure to let your EF Travel Team know.

You’ll stay in two hotels—four nights in London and four nights in Paris. Staying in just two places means more time to settle in and unpack a little. Each hotel is inspected by EF’s dedicated quality team to meet our high standards for comfort, safety, and cleanliness. Every room includes a private bathroom.

You’ll receive more detailed meal information closer to your tour, but here’s an overview of what to expect on Experience London and Paris:

  • Daily breakfast is served at your hotel and typically includes cereal, bread, jam, juice, eggs, protein, coffee, and tea.

  • Daily group dinners take place at local restaurants (or your hotel) and feature a mix of familiar favorites and local dishes from a set menu.

  • Lunches are usually not included—giving students the freedom to explore local markets and discover their new favorite food (like escargot or steak frites!).


Travelers will share allergy or dietary information with EF after signing up, and we’ll help make the necessary accommodations.
