What is being planned for the 65th anniversary ceremonies?
Depending on the tour you choose, your group will get to participate in two, three or four of these emotionally stirring ceremonies: the Evening Candlelight Ceremony for the Fallen, Liberation Day celebrations in the Netherlands, a special Holocaust remembrance ceremony and a spectacular military tattoo show (a private event sponsored by EF). We're happy to update you on any developments that occur in the coming months. We promise these will be events you will always remember. Stay tuned!
Are the departure dates flexible?
Because each of the five tours visits specific events happening on specific days, each tour has its own set departure date. For more information about these dates, please call 1-877-VE-DAY-65 (1-877-833-2965).
What are the advantages of enrolling on the National Student Tour as opposed to arranging our own tour?
An event of this size and scope requires a lot of planning and preparation. We do all of the work for you: we book your flights, accommodations, select meals, sightseeing excursions, 24/7 tour director – everything! – so all you have to do is bring your students and enjoy the tour. And because we’re planning tours for thousands of students and teachers, we have the volume and buying power to negotiate the lowest prices – guaranteed. You'll also get to see more and participate in unforgettable, specially-organized ceremonies. And above all, you get peace-of-mind. We have our own office in Amsterdam and our European staff has been working hard for months to ensure your tour happens smoothly. With the most experience in organizing international student tours, and the greatest worldwide presence, you can rest assured that we’ve thought of everything and will be there for you wherever you travel.
As a group leader, if I enrol on the National Student Tour, will I still have control of my own group?
Absolutely. As a group leader, you decide which of the five tours best fits your group’s needs, as well as which optional excursions you want to take part in. Once abroad, you’re joined with an expert tour director who remains with you 24/7 throughout your tour, making sure everything goes smoothly. And you always maintain control over your own group. Plus, once you enrol, you’ll receive ongoing communications about the tour and all the exciting things planned. Rest assured, we will keep you and your group informed and supported all along the way.
