Special Interest Tours

Tours for Girls offers interest-based travel tours for girl groups like dance studios, sports teams and anything in between. Imagine practicing your elastico with a professional soccer coach in Barcelona, striking a pose in front of the Eiffel Tour or going behind the scenes at a London theatre. It's all possible with EF Tours for Girls.

Special interest tours are designed to develop skills and learning opportunities about your interests and hobbies abroad. Travel can also reinforce the overall mission of your organization (girl empowerment, confidence building, experiential learning) and offers a unique experience for all girls to do what they love in an international destination. How cool is that?

Girls take the lead

Having trouble keeping girls engaged?
