MEDITERRANEAN JOURNEY
9 or 11 days | Italy | Spain

For thousands of years, the Mediterranean Sea has played a key

role in the development of European culture. See the remains of
civilizations that relied on it, from Ancient Rome to Renaissance
Florence. When you cross the sea to Spain, you follow the
journey of sailors through the ages. In Barcelona, that old history
gives way to Gaudí’s modern architecture.

As you can see, your EF tour includes visits to the places
you’ve learned about in school. That’s a given. But it’s so
much more than that. Immersing yourself in new cultures—
surrounded by the people, the language, the food, the way of
life—creates inspirational moments that can’t be listed in an
itinerary. They can only be experienced.
This tour may be reversed

And the experience begins long before you get your passport
stamped and meet your Tour Director in your arrival city. It
begins the moment you decide to go. Whether it’s connecting
with other travelers on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or
delving deeper into your destinations with our personalized
learning experience, weShare, the excitement will hit you long
before you pack your suitcase.

When your group arrives abroad, everything is taken care of

so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Your full-time Tour
Director is with your group around the clock, handling local
transportation, hotels, and meals while also providing their
own insight into the local history and culture. Expert local
guides will lead your group on sightseeing tours, providing
detailed views of history, art, architecture or anything you may
have a question about.
Learn from your Tour Director
When your journey is over and you’re unpacking your suitcase and expert local guides
at home, you’ll realize the benefits of your life-changing
experience do not end. They have just begun.
