Rules of the Road | EF Educational Tours

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
When travelers enroll on tour, they agree to EF's Rules of the Road. If travelers do not conform to these regulations or any specific rules set by their Group Leader, they risk dismissal from the tour, returning home at their own expense with no refund for the missed tour portion.

EF - Safety Policies for Travelers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Based on our experience, we have developed the following policies and guidelines to ensure that students are safe and secure throughout the tour. Upon arrival, the Tour Director will review safety precautions specific to your tour. However, it's critical that students understand these rules in advance and behave accordingly while abroad.

Traveler Safety Guidelines | EF Educational Tours

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We strongly encourage parents to talk to their child about good decision-making and personal responsibility while on tour, as well as the importance of following all safety advice and instructions they receive. While your group's Tour Director and Group Leader will work together to provide an enjoyable and safe tour experience, everyone in the group must cooperate and demonstrate good common sense while traveling.

We recommend Group Leaders collect each traveler's tip money before the group leaves for tour. To keep tips organized, use the convenient tip envelopes included in EF's "Preparing for Departure" kit, which arrives about two months before your tour. Many of our Group Leaders make tipping a fun farewell gesture on tour.

Europe's electrical system is different from ours in two ways: the voltage of the current and the shape of the plug.

American appliances run on 110 volts, while European appliances are 220 volts. Today's gadgets are "dual voltage," which means they work on both American and European current. If you see a range of voltages printed on the item or its plug (such as "110-220"), you're OK in Europe. Some older appliances have a voltage switch marked 110 (US) and 220 (Europe) - switch it to 220 as you pack.

Even older devices (and some handheld gaming systems) aren't equipped to deal with the voltage difference - you'll need a separate, bulky converter. (Consider replacing your appliance instead.)

A small adapter allows American-style plugs (two flat prongs) to fit into British or Irish outlets (which take three rectangular prongs) or continental European outlets (which take two round prongs). Unless my trip is UK-only I bring a handful of the continental adapters - and even on a continent-only trip, I always have at least one British adapter on hand for London layovers. Secure your adapter to your device's plug with electrical or duct tape; otherwise it can easily get left behind in the outlet (hotels and B&Bs sometimes have a box of abandoned adapters - ask). Many sockets in Europe are recessed into the wall; your adapter should be small enough so that the prongs seat properly in the socket. Although you can get universal adapters that work Europe-wide (or even worldwide), these tend to be large, heavy, and more expensive.

Sockets in Switzerland and Italy only accept plugs with slimmer prongs: three slim round prongs arranged in a triangular shape. But two-pronged adapters still work as long as they don't have the thicker ("Schuko" style) prongs - and if the body of the adapter is small enough to fit in the recessed outlet (most continental adapters do fit in most Swiss and Italian outlets).If, for some reason, your adapter doesn't work in your hotel-room socket, just ask at the desk for assistance; hotels with unusual sockets will invariably have the right adapter to loan you.

Some budget hotel rooms have only one electrical outlet, occupied by the lamp. Hardware stores in Europe sell cheap three-way plug adapters that let you keep the lamp on while you charge your camera battery and smartphone.

Go light with your electronic gear - you want to experience Europe, not interface with it.

Spending Money on Tour | EF Educational Tours

Before you travel, you should familiarize yourself with the current exchange rates for the U.S. dollar to the local currency of the destinations on your tour. We strongly advise against traveler's checks since they can be difficult to cash.

Overnight trains are another fun and efficient way to travel from one city to another. To ensure a smooth journey, there are some important details to be aware of. Travelers will stay in a self-contained compartment called a couchette. By day, a couchette seats six people on a pair of bench seats facing each other.
