Program Reviews

My trip to Italy was truly an extraordinary vacation and I highly recommend! We went from city to city, trying different foods, and many fun experiences like a private cooking lesson and visiting the Coliseum. We also spent time at Cinque Terre, a coastline town that has some of thr best food and hikes I have ever had. In Venice, I got to take a provate boat ride around the city with my friends. It was awesome. I had so much fun that I've decided to go on a second trip with Travel for Teens this summer.

My trip to Tanzania with Travel for Teens was incredible from start to finish. It was one of those experiences that actually stays with you long after you’re home. The entire program was extremely well run, and I always felt supported, safe, and excited for whatever came next.
The service part of the trip was genuinely meaningful, and it felt good to know we were contributing in a positive way. Even more than that, the leaders created an environment where everyone connected easily, and the group became really close. The energy was always positive, and every day felt like a mix of purpose and fun.
The safari portion was honestly unforgettable. The places we visited, the views, and the wildlife were on a whole different level.
Overall, the trip was exciting, inspiring, and way beyond what I expected. I’d recommend the Tanzania Service & Safari program to anyone looking for an amazing, eye opening adventure with great people and a super supportive staff.

Travel for Teens is such a superb program and I recommend it to everyone I know. All their trips are so enjoyable, educational, and it lets me experience the beauty of a new country from a locals perspective. From getting gelato after dinner to making fresh gyros in Greece, it shows me the beauty of a world as I travel with new friends making the experience even more enjoyable. One of my favorite parts is that we also get to experience hands on work such as cleaning beaches in Hawaii and learning about the ancient ruins of Delphi. I could not recommend this program enough it’s so much fun.

My Adventure Tour to Thailand was filled with some of the richest and best memories I will ever make. I got to meet so many amazing people, both locals and friends I made on the tour. When I try and decide a favorite part, it's always impossible. From the time at the school, volunteer work with the elephants, visiting the temples, exploration of the islands, and so much more, each time a moment of the trip pops into my head, it brings a smile to my face. TFT staff did an exceptional job organizing the itinerary and engaging with the students, helping to create a fulfilling trip that will stay with me forever.

I seriously loved this program. I have lots of social anxiety, so I was a little bit nervous to go on this trip. However, when I arrived at the airport, I immediately felt welcome by my fellow travel-mates! When we got there, I already felt like it was going to be a life changing journey. I am so happy I chose this program in particular. Going all around Greece, trying food, and swimming in the clear water was such an amazing experience. I totally would recommend this trip to onlooking travelers!!! :)

This trip to South Korea was my first time traveling without my parents, my best friend and I signed up together after my freshman year of high school. I felt so safe and comfortable on this trip, my trip leaders were so much fun and everyone got along great. The worst part of the trip was when it ended! The itinerary was well-balanced, the food was delicious, and the company was wonderful! I made so many incredible memories. I still stay in touch with the friends I made. I highly recommend Travel For Teens.

My summer at TFT was a dope experience 💯. The counselors and the other teens were super chill and made a whole new country feel like a home away from home. The program had the perfect balance of new cultural experiences, group activities, and community service. Every day was something new! Swimming with elephants, going to thai markets, hiking on a beautiful mountain, or learning how to cook noodles in bamboo shoots! We worked to make a big impact and long-lasting difference for the kids we helped and the schools we worked to renew. Where we worked to make a difference, we also made connections along the way. We connected with the Thai language, the food, the people, the wildlife, and each other. The experience goes hard🔥10/10! Recommend!!! <3

I had an amazing time on my trip to Greece! I had the opportunity to explore several cities in Greece, including Paros, Athens, Santorini, and more. Everything went smoothly, and I got to see lots of new places with new people. At first, I was so nervous to go out of the country with no adult, just my twin sister and me, but it was the best experience of my life. The people I got to meet were amazing, and the boat day specifically was one of my favorite memories since I got to explore so many different islands and snorkel. I learned a lot, tried new things, and made experiences I’ll never forget. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure and good people!

I had a very nice time on my teen tour to London and Paris. I met lots of different high schoolers from across the country, and had a good time getting to know them. Food was alright. Visited interesting places, both tourist-y and not as much, but my favorite part was spending time with my fellow travelers. The counsellors were also very friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed talking to them as well. We went biking, tried hot chocolate, explored gardens, enjoyed the pier of Brighton, and more. Overall an enjoyable experience.

My trip with TFT in Spain was incredibly fun, engaging and educational. I walked off the plane, having landed in Madrid, not knowing what to expect. For me, this was a totally new experience, with a new program, with new people. In other words, I went in blind. Throughout my trip however, these new people soon became both friends and mentors for life. From an educational standpoint, each day I took about 4 hours worth of Spanish language classes which were enjoyable and engaging. These classes had a range of styles for all types learners: lectures and note taking, hands on visual activities, and interactive scavenger hunts on the streets of Spain. When these classes ended, the fun was just beginning. Each afternoon, there were super fun events, encompassing a range of interests and free time to see more of the various Spanish cities. In all, this was a super fun experience that I’ll remember for my whole life.
