"The best thing you could spend your money on. I promise you. Changes your life. Signing up for my 3rd trip with them today."
"I would take this trip all over again if I could, and I miss it constantly!! Can’t wait for my next one with EF!"
"My tour guide was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and the experiences I had on this trip, and friends I met are going to stay with me forever. Can’t wait to book another trip!"
"My sister died and they wouldn’t do anything except move the trip up. Now (after buying the travel protection) I’m pregnant and they refuse to do anything. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. It’s overpriced and you have to share rooms. It’s not worth it, and the customer service is awful. They basically said to me “well you can cancel but that will be 2000$ even though the trip is over six months away”. Trust me, there are plenty of travel companies that will actually work with you when things in life happen. STAY FAR AWAY from Ef ultimate break. I wish I had someone to tell me that when I originally booked but I failed and didn’t do my research "
"Just had to file a complaint with the BBB. I booked my trip over a year in advance for May 2021. For reasons unrelated to Covid-19 I had to cancel my trip. I’ve been trying to get in contact with them for a week to no avail, and by time they contacted my back it was now 363 days until my trip rather than 365 so my cancellation fee jumped $300. Also found out I am being charged for the insurance I ALREADY purchased. I’ve put over $1000 into my trip, and I’m not even getting half of that money back when it was booked three months ago. I would never recommend this company to anyone ever again, they are preying on their targeted audience- students and individuals under 30. This company needs to be shut down before they take advantage of more people in this money hungry scheme they have going on."
"So glad I made the decision to travel with EF ultimate break. My trip to the Dominican Republic was my first time out of the country and also my first solo trip! It was the most exciting thing I've ever done. Our tour guide Cesar was great! Very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his country with us, and made us feel safe the entire time! "
"I did the London’s and Paris escape and it was the best thing ever. EF was very organized and I had the best tour director. Already looking to book another trip "
"This trip is beyond amazing! All of the cities are fantastic, rich with history, beautiful, and there is no shortage of fun things to do day or night. Our tour director, Antonis, made the trip 1000 times better though. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with a desire to see hidden gems across Europe, anyone with an interest in WWII, and anyone who is looking for a life changing experience. Also, if you are considering traveling solo DO IT! You will meet some of the best people and make many new friends, I'm sure! Eastern Europe has a wealth of experiences to offer; I am so glad that I chose this trip, and would happily do it all again!"
"This is my 2nd EF trip and it just exceeded my expectations, again. Plus i had a really awesome group that i never thought will treasure forever! Our Tour Director Georgia made it all happen! She's the best on what she does! I would love to be on her future tours! I experienced Greece the best way possible!"
"Budapest, Vienna, and Prague was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! It was my first time to Europe and my boyfriend and I couldn't have picked a better tour to start. The food, the cheap beer, and the guided tours were so exceptional. The highlights for me were partying in a Budapest "ruin bar," getting the chance to meet my penpal in Austria during free time (I had been writing to her for 5 years!), and eating the DELICIOUS meat that Prague is known for. Our tour guide, Bogdan, gave us awesome recommendations in each city and planned optional activities for us every day, including a speciality coffee tour in each city. He made sure we never missed any good opportunities!! If you are open-minded and want to experience the culture of Bohemia, GO ON THIS TRIP! You won't regret a minute. "
"I absolutely loved this trip London and Edinburgh are amazing cities. Our tour guide was fantastic so kind and caring toward all of us. I honestly felt like I was traveling with a group of friends I've known all my life. You get out of your comfort zone and feel so alive when you travel. If your thinking about it DO IT it's not something you will regret."
"It took me a year to finally book my trip with EF and it was the best decision I’ve made! They exceeded my expectations, I loved it. I loved it so much that the day after I got back home I booked another trip with EF! "
"This is my first solo travel trip and I am sure I will remember this for a lifetime. I have made some really good friends and experienced some great new cultures. We partied like crazy and had too much fun. Best thing about travelling with EF was that we don't have to worry about anything than just to have fun. Kudos to EF and my tour director Panagiotis!!! I am already planning to do my next trip with EF."
"Gotta say this has been my favorite trip thus far with EF, and my third. If you're aching for a good beer, goulash, and an apple strudel...this is the trip. Classical music, art nouveau buildings, ruin bars, thermal baths. So much to take in with all five senses, without getting overwhelmed by a hectic paced tour! Andreas is a diamond, lovely tour director and big brother to us all. Quirky, charming local guides. Learned, and ate, SO MUCH!!!"
"What can I say about this trip aside from being absolutely amazing! This was my first trip through EF and also my first solo international trip, but I never felt alone. I was blessed with an amazing group of travelers who quickly became my family during my time in Ireland. You will never be bored on this trip! There is always something to do or see or eat or drink! Shane, our amazing tour director, was the heart and soul of it all. His passion for his country and for what he does makes this trip worth while. He went above and beyond to make our experience one we would never forget. He is extremely knowledgeable and it's amazing how much you can learn from him in such a short time. I highly recommend him as your tour director if possible. I promise you will not regret this trip!"
"The tour was wonderful from start to finish. I dont think any other trip I've done has compared to this trip. Even on days with terrible weather, or days where I was feeling sick, by the end of the day it was all worth it. The art, the history, the views. All of it. Thought there were a few rough patches, this trip was the smartest choice I've ever made. From day one, our tour director proved to be an incredible one. He was very organized, very happy, inviting, and knowledgeable. He cares about his group, and makes sure they all enjoying their trip. When two girls fell sick, he aided them to the best of his abilities to get them healthy again. He immersed us in the culture and daily life of the places we went. He encouraged us all to branch out and go see more than he could show us. He encouraged us to travel and love life. And though we spent only 12 days together, he created a family."
