Dietary Preferences

Dietary Preferences on Tour:

​

Travelers are encouraged to share any specific dietary preferences with their Group Leader; these preferences will then be shared with our Tour Directors and overseas vendors prior to departure. Travelers with specific dietary preferences are also encouraged to download the Happy Cow app, available on the Travel Apps page, which will aid the identification of vegetarian and vegan food options at nearby restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores while overseas.

​

Dietary Restrictions:

Travelers should speak to their Group Leader about any dietary or health-related issues that might affect them on tour so this information may be relayed to the Tour Director. For example, if a student carries an EpiPen for peanut or other allergies, the Group Leader should know where to find it and how to administer it in the event of an emergency. EF tries to accommodate all dietary restrictions during included meals; however, travelers with strict food requirements are advised to bring suitable snack options. As EF cannot make special meal requests with the airlines, travelers should plan to notify the airline of any restrictions directly a few days before the flight. Please visit the Flight Information page for airline-specific contact information.

Further information regarding the food allergy notification timeline may be found by visiting the Required Travel Forms page; additional information regarding included meals, along with sample menus, may be found on the Meal Information page as well.
