16 days
France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Spain

Jim N., Science Teacher

We helped Jim design his very own 16-day European Adventure tour for the summer of 2014. Jim wanted to give his students at least two days in each city they visited, allowing them a little more time to experience the customs and way of life. He also built in extra free time during the second half of the tour—including an entire free day in Rome—so his students could explore at their own pace.
