If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you have come to the right place

Who We Are
Education First (EF) is the world's largest international education company, offering global travel and study abroad, language-learning, cultural exchange, and academic programmes. EF has more than 55 years of experience. It now operates in 114 countries with over 600 offices and schools and 52000 EF teachers and staff.

EF Educational Tours is one of EF's products providing group travel all over the world to North American students with their teachers.

The role
A Transfer Tour Director (TTD)'s role is to pick up the group and accompany them from the airport to their main Tour Director and vice versa. A TTD is needed when groups are arriving at different times,

or at the same time but in different terminals, so the main Tour Director cannot pick-up all their groups at the same time.

The types of transfers you will lead will include terminal to terminal transfers, airport to city transfers by coach or public transport and hotel to airport transfers by coach for early departure transfers at the end of the tour. You may also be required to help for luggage transfers where the luggage is transported directly to the group hotel.
