It was a great experience for my daughter. The handling management and communication were great at comforting and reassuring.
First time using a tour group and I was blown away by the depth our tour guide Lincoln took us too! Lots of new things to experience if you're willing to try them
they application was very easy to use and easily navigated. we were able to see exactly what had been submitted and what was left.
I enjoyed the map showing where my child would visit. They made the payments a breeze with different payment plans. The insurance was a relief if my child was unable to go. They also gave a discount when we 1st signed up. On the portal they had deadlines for you documents to be completed. Overall, I would participate with EF Tours again if the opportunity would arise. Thank you.
EF Tours sent timely emails with links that walked us through every step of the way. The communication with the school chaperone was great too. My student had an amazing time and saw a lot of popular sites. The whole trip was well-organized and the guide was great!
Everyone involved in our trip was fantastic! Mihu, the tour director was professional, Friendly, and easy to work with. All the bus drivers, restaurants, and local guides were great! This trip went as well as we could hope for!
My son loved the additional excursions like the alchemy lab, salt mines, paddleboating through Prague, and the riverboat tour.
Planned activities were so fun! Whitewater rafting, surfing, ziplining just to name a few. The tour guide was amazing as well. Sent a detailed text each night with activities for the next day.
Wonderful experience. Planned out perfectly. So many activities. Pics are absolutely amazing. She loved everything about it from the food to the entertainment.
So many different experiences were scheduled to show the beauty and diversity of the country. The tour guides Walter and Joseph were absolutely fantastic. Their passion for their country shone through. Loved every minute of our Costa Rica tour!
Andrea was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She had a very positive attitude. I learned so much from her and the places we visited.
Our tour guide was Awesome, they did an excellent job. He made everything so easy and fun. All the locations we went to were perfect.
Benedict (Benny) and our drivers Pavel and Radik (and maybe another Pavel?) all were absolutely amazing. Benny with his efforts to maximize our time and experiences to more than just photo opportunities, and giving us very special memories that we will NEVER forget. His additional efforts to go above and beyond for my son, another student, and a parent traveler that all had birthdays while on tour. He made it all special. Impromptu swimming, free time recommendations and communications - it was all excellent. The drivers getting us there while trying to wrangle a solution to our busted bus and the AC that didn't work, or the heat that was stuck on overheating everyone. These guys teamed up and used their connections to give us the best experience they could. I wanted to knock stars off the rating over the bus issues as we did miss out on time in places as a result, but I couldn't because these folks made the trip so dang amazing. I did not want their contributions to be tainted.
This was the best and easiest decision I made. I was nervous about my daughter going over seas especially with how things are around the world. When I tell you EFS made everything secure and eased any fears. My daughter had the best time, said it was informative and and experience she'll never forget. The only thing she had to say was on some of the tours the tour guides talked way too fast to even learn anything so she would have appreciated them slowing down but she understood time restraints. Other than that the locations and hotels were all top tier and she would definitely use EFS again!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you guys do. She turned 18 in the country of Spain which is something she'll never forget!!!
EF is organized and supports the tour director, group leader, and travelers' needs. My group had a grand adventure that was not free from small obstacles, but even though we had some frustrations with a hotel and a bus company, the tour director was able to navigate the issue and ensure my group got to see everything we were promised. This specific tour is a lot of walking, particularly in Rome. I would recommend asking if you can add a night either in Rome or Florence to break up the sightseeing in Rome across two days. Other than that, the free time suggestions and arrangements were excellent and engaging. My students and adult partners were thrilled to have this opportunity!
What an exceptional experience. I was an accompanying parent on my son's trip to SE Asia. EF did a great job keeping 22 high school students/parents/chaperones quite busy for 10 days. The trip gave everyone plenty of opportunities to experience the food, culture, history and people of each respective country. The EF guides were all knowledgable, entertaining and accommodating, and we were sad to leave each one behind as moved forward with our itinerary. My son is looking forward to participating in future EF tours.
