ABOUT US

Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or sports. Or soft drinks. At EF, we're in a different kind of business. One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important. Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible. We're in the business of understanding. Between people. Between cultures.

For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through language, cultural exchange, academic studies, and educational travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world.

You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference.

Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. EF has been recognized on Forbes 2025 and 2024 World’s Best Employers and 2024 Top Companies for Women lists, Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things In Tech, and was a 2024 App Store Award winner in Cultural Impact.

ABOUT THE TEAM

At EF Go Ahead Tours we believe in the power of travel to widen your eyes, broaden your mind and see the world and yourself in entirely new ways. For over 35 years we’ve guided travelers - from young professionals to retirees, solo travelers to entire families, on carefully crafted journeys. To us, each experience is an opportunity to not just create unforgettable moments, but to inspire greater understanding between people and cultures. Every day our global team comes to work hoping to help as many people as possible share in those experiences.
