Since the moment we heard EF Agency would be in charge of this trip we felt confident. My daughter had the most amazing days ever. She enjoyed everything since the beginning. Mr. Guyer helped them to have fun no matter things weren't as planned.
It was an amazing experience. Ando, our tour guide, was phenomenal and made us feel safe and made sure we had fun. We will always treasure this experience!
Everything about this tour was fantastic. Our tour director Cyprian kept everything organized and running smoothly. Tom our bus driver got us everywhere we needed to go safely and was super awesome. All of the guides in the cities were very knowledgeable. We also had a couple extra excursions which were super cool. I would do another EF tour again in a heartbeat.

We really liked that all transportation, hotel, and guides were all ready on time and well organized. The route traveled was very well thought out and we enjoyed all the information from every place we visited. Overall a excellent trip, would recommend anyone to travel EF Tours if the opportunity presented itself. The only complaint is that the trip was over too soon, that just means we'll have to go again!
The best experience ever according to my daughter. She is a very experienced traveler so to hear her bragged so much about this trip is amazing.
Everything was well organized. Perfect amount of free time with group time
My two daughters had an amazing trip to Japan. The trip was fluid. The guides were knowledgeable and kind. The overall experience was fantastic. As for the payments, that was easy to set up and keep track of via the website.
Granddaughter had a wonderful experience and learned the different cultures.
EF provided a high quality tour that allowed my students to fully experience the language and culture of France and Italy on our recent tour. The staff and tour director were very responsive to our needs and ensured we had an amazing experience!
From the over all experience was excellent!
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the recent tour of London, Paris, Milan, Florence, and Rome. The concept of the tour is truly outstanding and aligns with the goal of broadening perspectives through education. I appreciated the rich history that my daughter had the chance to explore. However, to enhance the overall experience and engagement, it seems that better planning could significantly benefit the itinerary. The long days, where students leave the hotel around 7 or 8 AM and return as late as 9 or 10 PM, can be quite exhausting. While we understand the nature of a walking tour, the extensive schedule may lead to diminishing interest. Additionally, we were disappointed by the last-minute cancellation of one of the highlights, "In the Kitchen" in Italy, which we only learned about the day before it was scheduled. We will certainly keep EF Tours in mind for future trips, but we would appreciate having detailed information about the itinerary and daily dynamics before making a decision. Great Team Lead, Great Hotels and Awesome Tour Guide- Simon! Thank you for considering our feedback.
I felt like I was leaving my child in good hands while traveling. There was excellent communication throughout the entire process and zero issues.
Everything was fabulous! The tour guide Davina was the best.
My son loved the trip & enjoyed their tours, especially Scotland. I am so glad he was given a chance to experience it all!
The tour was great, and our Tour guide Gabriel did an amazing job!
