Why go?

Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight Flight
Board your overnight flight bound for London. Your adventure begins tomorrow, so sit back, shut your eyes, and do as the English do and try and catch some “zeds.”
Day 2: Arrive in London + Welcome Dinner
Welcome to London. Home of the royal fam, tea, a wonderfully different form of the English language, and the largest city in Western Europe. Brimming with history and unique architecture, you’ll soon understand why it’s one of the most visited cities in the world.
In the evening, it's time for our Welcome Dinner and Event. Every great trip deserves a great beginning—and that's exactly what the Welcome Dinner and Event delivers. Hosted by your new bestie, your Tour Director, this kickoff moment is all about meeting your fellow travelers, learning their names, swapping stories, and easing into the adventure ahead. It's casual, fun, and the first step in turning a group of strangers into something more. Because at Ultimate Break, we believe memories are best made together.
- Land at the airport and meet a waiting EF representative.
- Transfer to your hotel to check in and check out your room.
- Get familiar with the area around your hotel with an introductory walk with your Tour Director including the River Thames, Trafalgar & Leicester Squares, and Convent Garden.
