Join us this summer on this amazing Greece and Italy adventure travel program for teens. Teens will tour ancient ruins, beautiful natural landscapes and enjoy the freshest, most incredible food on this summer program that takes you off the beaten path. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the seaside villages of Cinque Terre and tour the wondrous ruins of Athens plus explore the Greek Islands with a SCUBA diving lesson in Naxos and kayaking and sunset views in Santorini. Led by amazing summer program leaders, we group teens on this program into co-ed, age-compatible groups that are fun, inclusive and dynamic for all. The detailed itinerary for these small groups also allows travelers the flexibility to perhaps find your favorite beach or sample every gelato stand along the way!

What if I need to contact my teen during the program?
Participants may bring their cell phones so parents may call and message their kids directly.

What is the difference between an Active Teen Tour and a Global Adventure program?
Our Active Teen Tours offer larger group sizes (generally 35-48 participants) and travel in deluxe motor coaches. Accommodations include quality hotels and occasional fun college residences.
Global Adventures are smaller group experiences (generally up to 26 participants on all itineraries other than the 17, 20 or 25-day Greece & Italy, 20-day Greece & Portugal or 10-day Greek Islands, which varies from 24-36 participants.)
Groups travel by private motor coaches and occasional public transportation internationally, and use passenger vans in the USA. Select European programs travel exclusively by train and public transportation. While these programs have a slightly bigger focus on adventure travel, we stay in quality hotels and lodges, always ensuring a good night’s rest.
