About the trip
We recommend students bring $10 per day for lunch (unless the platinum package is selected). Money for souvenirs and/or shopping should be provided at parents discretion, but is not required.
While we typically do not recommend parents attending the tours with students unless they are participating as chaperones, the group leaders make the final decision on this. There may be additional costs for parent travelers.
Recommended clothing and other items will vary based on the travel destination and season. Please download CE’s packing checklist for a complete list of suggested items.

While tour inclusions vary a bit based the selected package level, trips are generally all inclusive. Despite the tour option, there are a few thing that cannot be included such as airline baggage fees, wireless internet access, and supplemental travel insurance. Also, CE does not include breakfast on the first day of touring or dinner on the last.
For tours in North America, there will be 4 students assigned to a room and 2 adults assigned to a room. For international tours, there will be 3 students assigned to a room and 2 adults per room. Group leaders can request in advance to have fewer students and/or adults assigned per room, which may increase the cost of the tour. Students will share rooms other participants of the same gender and will be assigned by the group leader.
Payments
Ce works together with the group leader to determine the payment dates for each tour. The final balance for all tour in North America is due no later than 30 prior to the scheduled date of departure; for international tours, final payment is due no later than 45 days prior to departure.
Participants will have the option of paying the total tour cost in advance, or making series of payments based on a payment plan. CE works together with the group leader to determine payment dates that work well for your group and fit within our timelines.
Group leaders have the option of making group payments or having the group’s participants make payments individually online. If the group payment option is selected, participants will submit payment to the school or group leader via check. If the online payment option is selected, participants will register and pay in the registration section of our website.
Safety and Security
Prior to the scheduled date of departure, your CE tour manager will provide your Group Leader with two cell phone numbers: one for the Tour Director who will be traveling with your group and the other for your tour manager at CE’s corporate office. Both of these numbers can be reached 24 hours a day during the tour.
