See the world, safely.

We’ve been putting our travelers’ safety first since our founding in 1965. Our industry-leading approach to safe travel provides unmatched global support, planning, and expertise, so everyone feels empowered to explore the world.

On a group trip, every traveler plays a part in creating a safe and inclusive environment. We expect you to follow the guidelines below on all EF Ultimate Break trips—failure to do so may result in your removal from tour. And nobody wants that, do they?

Treat the people you meet along the way with respect.

  • Be kind to fellow travelers, Tour Directors, and hospitality staff

  • Recognize that you’re a visitor—someone calls this place home

  • Consider the impact of your words and actions

  • Respect other cultures and traditions

Think of the group.

  • Be on time to keep things running smoothly
  • Pay attention to your Tour Director—they’re the travel pro, after all
  • Speak up if a problem or health issue arises

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in your removal from tour. Our goal is to keep our travelers safe. Please report harassment or violence to the Tour Director or the On-Tour Support Team. Thanks for reading these guidelines and making your trip a safe, memorable experience for everyone.
