What do they need money for? • Tips for the Tours, Driver, and Tour Director. • Total 87 Dollars for the entire trip. Does not need to be converted to Euros. I will distribute into envelopes and disburse throughout the trip to the local tour guides, Driver, and our Tour Director. Tour DirectorYour tour director is with your group 24 hours a day, taking care of all the logistics on tour and becoming a partner and friend on the road. We suggest tipping your tour director $6 per person, per day. Bus Driver*Set aside an additional $3 per person, per day for your bus driver. Local guides*Plan to tip local guides $1 to $2 per person. Many group leaders tip local guides for half-day sightseeing tours. On a full-day excursion, it is typical to give a small tip to both the professional local guide and the day's driver.
What is group travel? • Groups with similar tour preferences and departure dates are combined to share a motorcoach • Why does EF combine groups? • Makes tours equally affordable for groups of 6 or 40 • Low prices means more students can see the world • Allows students to meet other travelers from around the country • How does EF combine groups? • Flexible date range • Similar tour options eftours.com
Valid passports are required for all travelers • Passports may take up to fourteen weeks to process • Some destinations may require travel visas • Non-U.S. citizens may require special visas or other travel documents • All travelers are responsible for securing necessary documentation • Please bring an additional copy of your passport eftours.com
Plane seats • It’s possible that we will not be seated all in the same rows. We will do our best possible to sit with buddies. • Flights will include food, but snacks can be purchased at the airport prior to take off. • I recommend bringing at least $20 for snacks and magazines. • IPods and MP3 players are absolutely allowed • Books would be nice!
