EF Tours gave our daughters an amazing experience, however their Chaperones did not contribute to that.
While we truly enjoyed the travel experience with EF Tours and are grateful for the opportunity to explore new places, we were deeply disappointed by the behavior of our chaperones, the Dirkswagers. It became clear that they were more focused on enjoying a free vacation than fulfilling their responsibilities to the students. There were multiple instances of negligence, including when my daughter was stopped, searched, and patted down by TSA at the airport with no chaperone present to support her—a moment when adult supervision was absolutely necessary. On several occasions, the Dirkswagers showed up to room checks visibly intoxicated, and one night on the cruise, they were too impaired to communicate a clear curfew. Despite their failure to give instructions, they still performed room checks and disciplined students, creating confusion and unfair consequences due to their own lack of communication. This pattern of behavior—marked by poor judgment, impatience, and frequent intoxication—made students feel unsupported and often unsafe. We hope EF Tours takes these concerns seriously and ensures future chaperones meet the standards of professionalism and responsibility that parents and students rightfully expect.
