EF Tour provided excellent service. They delivered exactly what they promised.
We had a fabulous time and our tour director was amazing! We had a couple of hiccups with logistics but nothing major.
Most of the accommodations were very nice and comfortable.
Everything we encountered went very well. I accidently swapped two letters in my sons middle name for his passport info and they fixed it quick and painless. He really enjoyed his trip. Thank you very much.

Our traveler had a fantastic time. He wasn't really excited about the trip until the time I was helping him pack. He worried about traveling with his classmates. But the itinerary, flights, hotels and activities were well thought out and we're all glad he had the chance to participate.
My son had the time of his life, the tour guides did a great job
Costa Rica was great!
When you plan a trip abroad you want the experience of a lifetime. EF Educational Tours will give you a phenomenal experience! I don't believe that you can plan and construct a better trip on your own. The entire trip is carefully and strategically planned out for you so that you get immersed in the culture of the countries visited. As a parent the number one concern is safety. My daughter's senior year, she traveled for her very first time to Europe with EF. This year she joined her sister and her brother who just finished his sophomore year to Japan! It is both his first time and his older sister's first time. Total confidence thanks to EF. They plan so beautifully that all travel whether it's by plane, bus, train or ferry it's taken care of by wonderful companies and tour guides. The price is fair and EF is accommodating with payment plans. It is so well done you only need to get your passport and pack! With EF I had total peace of mind. Their website is great you can manage your trip and they are always available to help you navigate. If it weren't for EF my children would not have the experiences of the world beyond our borders. They learned so much about people and cultures, even new friends, that have truly enriched their lives! Next year my son is going with EF to Germany and surrounding countries. He loves history and he's so excited especially since he encouraged a friend he met in school and his parents to join him! Become a world traveler and do it boldly with confidence and peace of mind. You will come away with feeling as though you have toured the entirety of the country and total immersion of a culture as if you were backpacking through the best time of your life! Everything is inclusive including breakfast and dinner. The inclusivety is something I truley appreciate. The experience of a lifetime awaits..Thank you EF Educational Tours!!
Our guide was Noriko Ono. She was absolute amazing!! The experience was so memorable! Nori went above and beyond several times to make our group feel special. Not just by the daily activities but she ensured that any questions, interest, concerns were addressed with such care- she treated us more like family!!
This trip was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to take another.
This is the second kid we've sent on your trip overseas with EF. Both trips were an amazing experience, super well organized and we felt comfortable that every thing was handled and our kids were safe.
My son liked the way everything was well organized.
Our experience was great. Highly recommend tours with this company.
My granddaughter had a great time. She lives with me and is very shy. I knew I couldn’t do all of the walking that the tours do, so I didn’t go. She was upset at first and relaxed more as she followed along on the trip. I am well pleased with her experience and hope to send my other granddaughter on a trip too with EF Tours.
My daughter just returned from her solo 9 day France trip. This is the second solo trip (she went to Germany during spring break). EF Tours provided a safe, fun-filled trip for her both times. The tour directors were awesome & very knowledgeable. The hotels were nice & the tour buses were clean & reliable. And the pre-planned meals were delish! As a parent, I am extremely pleased that my daughter was able to have such wonderful world experience & we would do it again in a heartbeat!
Well organized trip with good communication and planning
Our daughter had an amazing time while always being safe, secure and well looked after!
