Setting Expectations Itinerary and date flexibility EF coordinates multiple groups at the same time, balancing their requests with available flight and hotel space. Then, we combine small groups into larger ones to fill each tour bus. In addition, we may need to shift your departure date. Hotels EF uses first-class, superior tourist-class or tourist-class hotels, as defined by the Official Hotel Guide. Hotel rooms abroad are often less modern and standardized than in North America. Each room will have a private bathroom. Here are some other common differences from North American hotels:  In simpler, family-run hotels, the rooms and beds are usually smaller than those in North America and rooms seldom have air conditioning or televisions.  Few European hotels have elevators.  Shower pressure tends to be much weaker than in North America and in some countries the showerhead may be directly above the toilet or sink.

Meals Expect food and eating habits to be different from home. You will be expected to pay for soft drinks, bottled water and other beverages with their meals, although water is always provided. Breakfast typically includes cereal, bread or rolls, jam, juice, coffee or tea. EF walking tours Many sightseeing tours are on foot, so you will likely do a lot of walking. Remind your participants—both students and adults—that our educational tours are generally fast- paced. Tipping While all non-discretionary gratuities are included in the EF Program Fee, it is customary to present the tour director and coach driver with a token of appreciation at the conclusion of the tour. We recommend $4 per person per day for the tour director ($28/person total) and $2 per person per day for the coach driver($10/person total). Groups also tip local guides for half-day sightseeing tours ($3/person total). Optionals El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen Seville Flamenco Evening Morocco Phone Tree
