"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 had such an amazing time on this trip! It was a great introduction to Iceland and we got so much done in the 4 days we were there. Gunna was such a great guide, very knowledgeable and always made sure we knew what was going on. She even went thatextra mile and went to search for the lights with us when it wasn't on our schedule! Right on our last night after the farewell dinner we saw them! Spending some more time in Reykayvik as a group would've been nice, this trip is counted as 6 daysbut 2 of those you spend flying so it's really 4.. and depending on when you land that first it's really 3 1/2 so that's something to consider..but short trips like this really fit my schedule well. I also thought we would do more hiking through the glaciers and stuff but we mostly only had time to look around and observe which was cool too! The only situation which I found slightly discomforting was that my friend and I who came earlier to Iceland and we were going to meet the group at the welcome dinner had no way of reaching the tour guide or the EF consultant. My last EF trip the tour guide created a Whatssapp group for all of us prior to the trip so we had contact info of everyone. However this time, we told the staff we would meet them at the hotel at 6 to walk over to the dinner with everyone..we got there a little later at 6:15 and they left without us which I understand but we had no way of contacting anyone with the exception of Facebook. The hotel staff didn't know where the group went either so we spent about 45 min in the hotel room waiting for someone to check FB to let us know where they were and then finally they responded and we went over to the welcome dinner. This situation was really the only disheartening one which caused a slight damper for me early on in the trip but it quickly disappeared and I overall had an amazing time!"
"I don't even know where to start....EF makes it SO easy to just travel and I can't say enough amazing things about this company. The trip to Ireland left me astonished. The views, the beer, the friends I made, the greenery, the towns. I had the best day of my life every single day and found what it meant to find myself. I wake up everyday wishing with everything in me I could relive it all over again, the exact same way. I was not prepared for how amazing this trip was going to be mostly thanks to our wonderful Tour Director Marco and our bus driver Sean. Sláinte chugat!"
"This organization perfected my two weeks in Peru with an awesome itinerary. I spent sufficient time to truly absorb the sensory experience in Lima, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu. The tour leader was very knowledgeable and caring. My group was also very engaged and friendly. "
"From the travelers and tour director to the destinations I couldn't have been more happy about my trip. I just wish we all had more time together."
"Costa Rica is so beautiful! The people, the culture, the food, the sightseeing was all so beautiful. EF made it even better!"
"This was the best investment I've ever made. Dead serious. Let me convince you by reminiscing on my travels. Imagine being at the top of the London Eye gazing down upon the beautiful city of London. Not for you? Okay, how about sitting on the edge ofthe Seine, eating a crepe and watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night? How about drinking a Heineken while on a river cruise through the canals of Amsterdam? Or being totally mesmerized by a sunset in Luzern? (Okay seriously though, is Switzerland evend even real life? It's so beautiful you won't even believe it-not exaggerating) How about chatting it up with the cute gondolier as he takes you through the canals of Venice? Or getting to walk through the ruins in Rome where Julius Caesar himself once sece set foot? How about frolicking through a beautiful and endless vineyard at sunset in Florence? Or getting to see first hand the famous views from Manarola and Riomaggiore and enjoy a cocktail on the beach in Monterosso and eat gelato on the shore of Veof Vernazza in Cinque Terre? Or getting to feel like a high-roller at the Monte Carlo in Monaco? Or enjoying fireworks in Barcelona? Or sipping some sangria and exploring the streets of Madrid? (DISCLAIMER/WARNING: LADIES, ITALIAN BOYS ARE DREAMY AND CHARCHARMING YOU MIGHT FALL IN LOVE) Yeah you should definitely book this trip."
"This trip IS THE trip to take if you are going to go to Europe, especially if it is also your first time. I think the 12 days is perfectly planned out. You'll see some of the most amazing sights that you've read and saw in textbooks as a kid. I couldn't help but cry when I actually saw the Eiffel tower in front of me. Be aware that this is a trip with A LOT of walking but it is all worth it, I promise you! EF really does go above and beyond to make sure that your trip is nothing but amazing. My tourtour director Mike was also AMAZING!!! I cant say enough great things about him. he treated us like family and also planned extra things for us to do. (He also wasn't a bad sight but that is beside the point) When I look back on the past 12 days I am inm in disbelief with how much I actually did. EF includes a lot in its prices and its just worth it to book with them. No hassle and everything is already planned, all you have to do is show up. This is a great tour CHOOSE IT!"
"Best trip of my life, there wasn't a single day that I didn't enjoy myself to the fullest."
"The Costa Rican Adventure was an amazing trip! The food, the people and the animals! The trip is very active but completely worth it! Ziplining and white water rafting were some of the most amazing experiences I’ve had! Our crocodile tour was also awesome, our river guide got up close and personal with two crocodiles and we still felt extremely safe! Lots of walking but it’s good for you so who cares! Our tour director Irene was fantastic, knowing everything we had questions on and making us feel right at home! She did everything she could to make sure we were having an amazing time and she is an amazing person! I definitely recommend this trip!"
"This trip was one of the best I've ever booked through EF. Yes, you try and squeeze everything into a couple of days to get the most of these countries, (we also visited Austria and Liechtenstein) but it was all wonderful and worth it. I was the least excited for Italy, but I fell in love with Venice. The sunsets were amazing, the sights surreal, the people, omg. The locals, the strangers, calling out "Bella"! Such a wonderful feeling. My heart is filled with so much joy. Italy has changed my life. Our tour director made this experience even more amazing. We all love her very much. Best tour director I've had by far. She was absolutely wonderful. She knew all the local spots and took us through the hidden gems of every city. If it weren't for EF, I don't think I ever would've been able to travel. For that I am very grateful, and of course, for Gianna aka Mama G. If anyone ever books this trip and is fortunate to have her as the tour guide, trust me, you are in VERY good hands. She was like the mother I never had. She really took care of us. Also Sergio, our driver who has some mad driving skills. Kudos my man. If you're thinking about booking through EF, stop thinking. Do it. If I learned anything on this trip, it's that life is too short and time is precious. Mamma G taught us that. Money comes and goes. Set up a payment plan. Even if it takes a whole year (which was my case). You will not regret it. It's unfortunate I wont be able to book through EF since I'm getting too old (the ages required I believe are 18-28) , but because of the trips I booked, I now have the knowledge and courage to do this on my own. Thanks EF! PS: Don't forget to tip your tour director. They work so hard for you!
ANDIAMO!"
"WOW. this trip was incredible. I came alone and never travelled alone before needless to say I was very nervous. My group however made it very easy to make friends. I had the most AMAZING tour guide ever, Georgia. If you are considering ANY ef trip ask if she can be your guide because Georgia made all the difference. She made every day special for us and worth every penny. THANK YOU EF for a wonderful trip and lifelong memories"
"It was an amazing way to end the year and of course bring in 2018. I really enjoyed the excursions EF has to offer for the London and Paris trip. I would definitely recommend everyone to take a new years trip."
"This is an absolutely incredible trip! My tour director, Justin, did a fantastic job! He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Both countries are beautiful and it is an amazing experience to get to see them. 10/10 recommend this trip to anyone who is interested!"
"This trip was life changing. 10 days was just enough time away from home. Learning about the Italian culture was great and our group got along so well, which added to the ultimate experience! It's impossible to be unhappy in Italy - especially when you can have wine, gelato and pizza every day!"
"There are no words for how incredible this trip was. As a Greek who has only ever dreamed of being able to go to Greece, this was a perfect opportunity to do so, especially at such a price with everything that was included. We went to such stunning places, and got to see the best parts of each Island, with the perfect balance of free time and planned activities. Not only that, but our guide was absolutely incredible, and at least half the fun I had was thanks to her. I've been back home for a few days now, and I'm still reeling from what a spectacular time I had on this trip, and trying to cope with the withdrawals from it."
