    and every tour.

     Marc  Teacher, California

    My students always come back overwhelmed and awed by seeing their

    studies come to life. Teachers tell me that after going on the trip, the students

    come back and share their connections in class discussions and they see amarked difference in their understanding and appreciation for history!

     Derrick Principal, California

    Going to New York with EF Smithsonian Student Travel was the chance

    of a lifetime. Growing up in a small town, you cannot truly appreciate

    the amazing sights, sounds and smells of NYC until you are there...really

    there...standing smack dab in the middle of Times Square. It was a dream

    come true.

     C larisa  Student, Texas

    The services EF Smithsonian Student Travel offers are really top notch. I

    feel like I’m part of the EF Smithsonian Student Travel family, and they are

    always going to be there for me and go above and beyond.
