About Italy, Spain & France Explorer Program

Experience Europe's most iconic destinations on this 13-day teen tour designed to introduce you to the continent's rich history, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable landscapes. You'll explore four of Europe's most dynamic cities—Rome, Florence, Barcelona, and Paris—while developing the confidence and skills to become a savvy traveler.

Your journey begins in Rome, where ancient history comes alive as you walk through the Colosseum, imagine gladiators in action at the Roman Forum, and climb the Palatine Hill where the Roman Empire began. You'll marvel at the Vatican's artistic treasures, including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, then venture into the hip neighborhood of Trastevere to experience authentic Roman life and sample some of the best pizza you'll ever taste. From the iconic Trevi Fountain to the Spanish Steps, Rome will capture your heart from day one.

Next, you'll escape to the stunning Tuscan countryside in Montalcino, where you can optionally visit a private winery and prepare traditional Italian specialties with a local family—a truly authentic culinary and cultural experience. In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, you'll stand before Michelangelo's David, explore the world-class Uffizi Galleries, and experience la bella vita with sunset strolls across the iconic Ponte Vecchio and gelato tastings at the city's best artisanal shops.

Barcelona brings Mediterranean energy and architectural wonder. You'll visit Gaudí's breathtaking Sagrada Familia and whimsical Parc Güell, take a Spanish cooking class to master the art of tapas, bike through vibrant neighborhoods, and enjoy a traditional flamenco show. A beach day on the Mediterranean and shopping at lively outdoor markets round out this unforgettable experience.

Your final destination is Paris, the City of Light, where you'll climb the Eiffel Tower, cruise the Seine at sunset, explore the world's largest art collection at the Louvre, shop along the Champs-Élysées, and visit the opulent Palace of Versailles. Wandering Montmartre's artistic streets and indulging in classic French cuisine—croissants, fondue, and yes, escargot for the brave—you'll understand why Paris is called the most romantic city in the world.

Throughout this program, you'll stay in carefully selected, family-run hotels in safe, central locations within walking distance of main attractions. Professional chaperones and local guides ensure your safety while giving you the freedom to explore authentically. All breakfasts and dinners are included, featuring local cuisine that immerses you in each destination's food culture. This is more than a tour—it's your introduction to becoming a global citizen, building lifelong friendships with fellow travelers, and discovering the world beyond your hometown.
