In June of 2026, a trip hosted by EF Tours partnered with Mrs. Sarah Sagouspe will experience Europe through a nine day trip starting in Italy, and traveling through Monaco, France and ending in Spain.
The trip includes a full-time tour director, sightseeing, entrances to museums, a personalized learning guide, and most importantly, all of the details are covered. From flights to daily meals, EF Tours will provide it all within each package.
Sagouspe, the Art Club advisor and Visual Arts teacher said, “You just need maybe a little spending money, but literally everything is taken care of… You get to experience another country without having to worry about planning it.”
The group will primarily be high school students, but the trip is open to anyone of all ages, including families, college students and more. The community of Los Banos is invited to join in on this once of a lifetime trip to see the world in a safe and educational way.
There will be plenty of walking throughout the trip, so walking shoes are recommended to those attending. There will also be free time through the days for travelers to get a lunch or explore more places.
Breakfast and dinner will be included in the package, but lunch will not. It is recommended to bring extra money to spend on souvenirs and lunches of your choice.
Students and travelers will be able to see many different landmarks, cities, and the cultural aspects of the countries. They’ll travel to see the Prince’s Palace and the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco, and the French perfume factory in Èze, to name a few.
Some cities included in the trip are Cinque Terre, French Riviera, the principality of Monaco and Barcelona. Activities exploring the cities will take students through the cultural and ethnic backgrounds, educating the participants of each country’s history.
The price for students under 20 years of age will be about $4,159, while adults over 20 years old pay $4,889. Anyone wanting to join the trip can enroll until the end of February as EF Tours will purchase flights, tickets, etc. by March.
A meeting for information about the trip will be hosted on January 28 for details, and another on May 21 for what to expect and bring.
The only documents travelers will need is their passport in order to travel to these countries in 2026. Some tips to keep in mind are to prepare for fast paced activities, to bring walking shoes, and extra money for gifts or souvenirs.
For students, there is a scholarship given by EF Tours which awards the student $1,000 towards their trip. Applicants won’t have to write anything, but will film a two minute video answering a question from the company.
For others not wanting or not able to apply for the scholarship, EF Tours automatically sets up a fundraising page to help travellers reduce the cost of their trip. All money raised on the website will go towards the trip of each student or traveller.
