Experience two of Europe's most iconic cities on this 8-day summer adventure designed specifically for high school freshmen and sophomores. Your journey begins in London, where you'll explore royal landmarks like Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London, browse the trendy Camden Market, catch a live theatrical production in the West End, and cruise along the River Thames. Then you'll board the high-speed Eurostar train beneath the English Channel to Paris, where you'll ascend the Eiffel Tower, wander through world-class museums like the Louvre, explore the charming streets of Montmartre, and visit the opulent Palace of Versailles.

This isn't your typical tourist experience. Travel for Teens emphasizes a hands-on approach where you'll use public transportation, learn how daily life really works in each city, and develop genuine travel confidence for future adventures. You'll stay in small, family-run hotels in safe, centrally located neighborhoods—in London near major train stations and in Paris in the heart of the 9th Arrondissement near the Opera House. This positioning allows you to explore like a local rather than being isolated in an impersonal chain hotel on the city outskirts.

The program is carefully crafted to challenge and inspire. You'll savor authentic experiences: traditional afternoon tea at Kensington Palace, homemade macarons from a famous patisserie, fresh crêpes in artistic neighborhoods, and fish and chips in London. The itinerary encourages culinary adventure—trying local delicacies like escargot and discovering where Parisians actually eat. All breakfasts and dinners are included, along with ground transportation, chaperones, guides, program activities, and admissions.

You'll be part of a thoughtfully supervised group of peers from around the world, led by experienced chaperones and local guides who help you navigate cultural differences and build independence. This is more than sightseeing; it's about gaining a global perspective before leaving high school, understanding how different cultures live, and developing the confidence to explore the world on your own terms in the future.
