Answer 1

An excellent idea and its good decision to begin planning now.

In the first place you can plan and organize this yourselves. It will be more work, you're all going to need to be involved in making decisions, but you can get a much better deal on your own than you can paying someone else to make the arrangements for you.

You'll need to begin by agreeing on an itinerary. What does everyone want to see. What activites outside of sightseeing will you want to do?

You also need to think about your tastes in food (are you and your friends advenurous about eating or do you want to stick with burgers and fries) and the type of accomodation you want (are you willing to stay in a place with no elevators for example)  

I take it from your other questions that you live in Pennsylvania. Is this correct? You should be able to get relatively good deals flying to Paris by checking on Kay.com.

If you would like, after talking to your classmates, I can help you plan things out. You can email me thru my answers profile page.

Answer 2

EF.  They send me a catalog about 6 times a year.  They specialize in student travel, and if you get enough people together to fill the bus, you can create your own trip, different from any of their preplanned packages.

I believe they do part homestays, too.

STA travel, ryanair for cheap flights.
