Euro-Quest Western

Join us and travel to the grand capitals of Western Europe – Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and London. Euro-Quest Western is a two-week teen travel experience that visits world-famous sites like Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum, Buckingham Palace, the Champs-Elysee, and the canals of Amsterdam.

Along the way, we also include off-the-beaten-path experiences – a bicycling tour of windmills in the Dutch countryside, solemn reflections at the D-Day landing site on the beaches of Normandy, and a sunset boat ride down the River Seine in Paris.

As an experience for Jewish teens, Euro-Quest Western is also about connecting with the colorful history of the Jewish People in Europe. We visit centuries-old synagogues, spend a special Shabbat with the Jewish communities of London and Brussels, and confront the devastation caused by the Holocaust at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup Memorial in Paris, and at Fort Breendonk in Belgium.

Euro-Quest Western is a well-balanced combination of must-see touring, eye-opening Jewish experiences, and a unique opportunity to forge friendships with teens from around the world in the heart of Europe.
