Travel that’s designed with the future in mind

When done right, travel is life changing. It lights up your senses and introduces you to new perspectives in a way only the best lessons can. So that’s what EF Tours for Girls sets out to provide for every girl, in partnership with organizations that see the value of travel as much as we do. Combining experiential learning with the thrill of travel, our itineraries are more than just places to go and things to see. We build programs that challenge assumptions, spark connections, and ignite curiosity within your girls. There’s a better way to see the world, and it’s together.

Adventure. Culture. STEM. Service Learning. Wellbeing. Mother & Daughter. Interest-based. And then some. Dive deeper into every tour type we offer, browse by your dream destination, or lean on our team to create your ideal itinerary from scratch.

Preparing girls for the future

Throughout their travel journey, girls will play an active role. Taking on responsibilities and being engaged in the process, from beginning to end, is a powerful way for them to encounter real-world situations and gain confidence and the leadership skills that will benefit them long after their tour has ended.

Goal setting

The first step is for the girls to set the goal of traveling on an international trip. From there, they'll have to work together to figure out how they are going to accomplish this goal.
Decision making

They'll need to agree on what kind of trip they want to take, and make decisions together—building teamwork and collaboration skills—about where and when they want to travel.
Money management

They’ll gain financial literacy and skills like budgeting, and can set a budget for the tour that considers things like tips and activities not included in the itinerary.
Communication

The girls will work together at every stage of the planning process to execute their tour. They’ll research destinations, design excursions abroad and organize fundraising activities. Once on tour, they’ll have to adapt and learn to communicate with people who may not speak the same language as them.
Global Citizenship

Through experiential learning, girls will develop empathy and greater global awareness. They will gain exposure to cultural, social and economic differences that help them better understand the world, the people in it, and their role within it.

Let our detail-loving experts lead the way

Compelling itineraries that are rooted in experiential learning and curated by experts. It’s what you can expect from any EF tour, whether it’s a trip specially designed to make a lasting impact with a service project or an itinerary built to go beyond the beaten path. We bring travelers, subject-matter specialists, and locals together to craft every last detail of your travel experience—and that diverse team puts the same level of care and planning into each of our tours.
