ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
Florence was king during the Renaissance, and the city is still full of treasures from that transformative period in history.
Brunelleschi’s amazing Duomo changed the rules of architecture, and Michelangelo’s David is one of the great achievements in the history of art. In Rome, awe- inspiring remains of the ancient empire still stand, from the Colosseum to the Forum.Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2026: March 19, April 3-8, May 1, June 29, and August 14-15. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
