The experience was pretty good overall
The experience was very good overall. Pretty smooth with the flights, planes, and trains. My daughter and niece did mention their specific tour director was pretty good. Their biggest complaint was the meals they were given. 2 out of the 3 countries visited have the best food in the world and their prepaid meals did not look and taste that high quality. So I think the meals could have been a bit more elevated. And the free breakfast at the hotels were just ok as well. After seeing the quality of some of the hotels chosen and the mostly free meal a day prepaid (breakfast free at most hotels I’m sure). I’m not totally sure about the price $5400 roughly of this trip. For our family it seemed like a good price but now that it’s said and done I’m not sure. Perhaps about $1000 less per person in my opinion. My daughter stated the travel time in between the cities was a bit long but tolerable. They did deliver the travelers back to the hotels kind of late some of the days with very early (5am) wake up calls the next day. And I know a profit has to be made by this tour company, but definitely the hotels could have been better too. We would have paid more or even been justified with the original price if they would have had done better hotels. When you travel somewhere the highlights are: the culture, learning the history, the hotel, and food. But, all in all I’m glad they both got to experience a lot of new countries in such a short amount of time. Our personal group leader was very nice but not necessarily the most trusted to send my students with again. I will say I do not believe we would use EF tours again, but we are glad of this experience.
