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
