Highest Quality Hotels

Guaranteed or your money back. In the unlikely event you don’t like a hotel, we’ll change it to your satisfaction within 30 days – or give you a full refund. Take a look at our Sample Hotels page. You’ll see a typical example of the information you’ll be given on each hotel.

 

Choice of Menu Top of Page

Tired of Wiener Schnitzel or chicken and fries every night? Often wish you had a choice? We know how you feel.

 

At the European Institute we cater not just to individual dietary requirements, but we offer you a choice of menu. A nation’s cuisine is an important element in its culture and a travel program should reflect that.

 

The Best Tour Directors in the Business Top of Page

At the European Institute, we can afford to handpick our tour directors. Our tour directors are selected from the cream of Europe’s Universities- Oxford, Cambridge, the Sorbonne, etc. They have all proven themselves in the field – we do not accept rookies as European Institute tour directors.

 

Take a look at some of our typical tour directors and you’ll see why we can make this guarantee: in the unlikely event of your feeling dissatisfied with your tour director, we will replace him or her in 24 hours.

 

Educational Focus Top of Page

At The European Institute our mission is to provide you and your students with the ultimate educational experience. We have the best colleagues in the world to help us in this aim – you, the teachers!

Individual members of our academic board work with us on the general shape of the tour – then you come in! If there’s a topic you’d like us to include, please let us know and it’s as good as done.

 

Every day spent with us, every city visited will be spent having fun, participating, and learning.

 

Flexibility Top of Page

Whether you have a large or small group, we can tailor your program – even your catalog program – to your individual needs. You’d rather visit Padua than Ravenna? No problem. The more obscure the request the better our tour coordinators like it!

 

More Included Activities Top of Page

At the European Institute, we try to pack as much value into our programs as possible. For example, in Paris we include a trip up the Eiffel Tower and a boat ride along the Seine in most itineraries.

 

(Your students could pay as much as $50.00 with some other organizations.)
 

Peace of Mind Top of Page

You know so much about the nuts and bolts of your trip early on that you can relax secure in the knowledge that there will be no last minute surprises.
 

Financial Security Top of Page

Roads Less Traveled

We share your joy at showing someone a wonderful place they have never seen. Our “Country Roads” programs emphasize the quiet byroads and obscure delights that can make all the difference to a program.
 

Better Value for your Students

Your students get more value for less outlay than with any other educational organization – that’s our commitment to you.

 

The Most Generous Teacher Stipends Programs

Top of Page

We have enough ex-teachers on our staff to know the hard work and preparation that goes into an educational travel program. That’s why we make no bones about rewarding those efforts accordingly.

We love travel and talking travel. As an experienced teacher, you’ll share in the joy we feel at making your and your students’ dreams become real.
 

No Need to Play the "Educational Travel Lottery"

Top of Page

One teacher we surveyed memorably described her experience with a large quality travel organization as being like a 'lottery': "One year the hotels are fine and we have a terrific tour director, the next, the hotels are in the boonies and we have a rookie who can’t speak the language.”

 

As a midsize organization, The European Institute is able to offer a consistency of product the rest evidently find difficult.
