"The best thing you could spend your money on. I promise you. Changes your life. Signing up for my 3rd trip with them today."
"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."
"Originally I was meant to take a 30 day trip in Europe. Financially, my bank account wasn’t going to cooperate. It would take months and a group chat later for this to mean that fate wanted me to meet greater people. I met two of my greatest friends on this trip, Mia and Yara. Soon we will reunite in Atlanta for a concert. I also mee another inspiring person, our tour leader Patrizio. He was so energetic and genuine with our small group. He made the greatest impression on us and gave us the trip of a lifetime."
"You will NOT regret this. I had the absolute time of my life on this trip. Not only will I have memories of the best St. Patrick's Day I have ever had, but many other memories that will last a lifetime. Ireland is the absolute most beautiful countryI have had the opportunity to visit. The people, the beer, the food - everything about it is swoon worthy. I also met some of the most fantastic people I have ever met and we quickly became family. I know I'll have lifelong friends and travel partners ins in them. Darren is the man and was the best TD we could have asked for. Be sure to do the extra little excursions in each city - you'll be thankful you did! I just arrived home yesterday and am already missing this trip, country, and the fantastic people I met. Don't hesitate to book this trip!"
"I cannot rave enough about this trip! This was my 1st EF trip (traveled August 2018) and I was so impressed. Impressed by the organization, hotel accommodations, excursions, restaurants, sights, and everything in between! My tour guide, Vasilis Pappas, was literally the most amazing person I've met and was the BEST tour director. He made sure everyone in my group had a great experience, he was a wealth of knowledge, and made it a point to get to know everyone! I booked several extra excursions that Vasilis offered to tto the group and they were all amazing. If you are contemplating booking this trip, DO IT RIGHT NOW! You will not regret it! Greece is by far one of the most beautiful countries that I have visited. Santorini was my favorite island followed by Paros as a close second! Everything about this trip was so much fun, I wish I was still there with my friends. If you do book this trip, I suggest packing good walking shoes because there is tons of walking and some hiking! Also, bring your beach towel, you'll need it for all water activities! Like I said, there aren't enough words to describe how amazing this trip was, the views, memories, and people that I was able to meet... book this trip!! OPA! "
"My experience in Belize was amazing! I chose this trip because it was budget friendly and you got to do so much more than just see monuments and cities. Well, you do that in Belize too but you also get to see beaches, rain-forests, and wildlife. Youalso get to hike, go cave tubing, zipline, and snorkel. My highlight of the trip was being able to go to Guatemala! We were there only half a day but my fondest memories are from visiting Tikal. I'm very pleased to have chosen this trip, especially as a fs a first time international traveler. I felt safe the entire time and our tour director Roberto made sure to that we were comfortable the entire way and made sure to get know us as well! I was hesitant about travelling with a large group since i'm very sery slow to interact but you really do get to meet some great people. Everyone was friendly and really made an effort to get to know me, which really helped to get me out of my shell. My only complaints about this trip were that our accommodations at CariCaribbean Villas in San Pedro were not the best, paper thin walls made it hard to ignore the party animals, and the beaches were infested with sea grass. No blame is being placed on EF since this is mainly mother nature's doing but we really did not get tget to enjoy the beaches to the fullest. Other than that I would do this trip again and again!"
"Spending 10 days in Costa Rica was an eye-opening experience. Being this was the first time I was traveling abroad, and by myself, I think traveling with EF made it even more worth while! I met so many amazing, like-minded people, and even some life long friendships. I also saw beautiful wildlife and tried a whole new diet of foods. We did incredible activities such as zip lining, white-water rafting, lots of hiking, swimming, kayaking and most importantly drinking. It was definitely a fiesta. Having Victor as our tour guide made the trip even more memorable. I can definitely say I will be traveling with EF many more times in the future and I will undoubtably be back in Costa Rica"
"This trip was my first time in Europe and it was one I will never forget. Our tour director Gianna was AMAZING. I never expected to see as much as we did in ten days. The castles, fortresses, churches, tours, and of course all the food exceeded expectations. Although I went with two friends, we made so many new friends and had a blast everywhere we went. If you're even considering this tour, DO IT. You will remember it for the rest of your life."
"My trip to Thailand was awesome! Everything was extremely fun-from the historic temples and ruins to feeding elephants (and trying to feed a water buffalo) to exploring the island of Koh Somet. A special thanks to our awesome tour guide Louis for an amazing trip!"
"My husband and I did the Italy and Greek island tour with Eirini. She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel so comfortable traveling. We visited Florence, Rome, Orvierto, Athens, the island or Santonrini and Paros. My husband loves history and mythology, so this trip was perfect for us. We opted in for the Italian Riveria in Cinque Terre which was absolutely beautiful and we also did the cliffside wine tasting in Santorini. Our tour guide helped us plan our free time well. We ended up visiting theg the Uffizi museum in Florence, the caphucian crypts which was a great little museum, we visited the keyhole, and the castle of Angel's all in Rome, the Acropolis museum and the National Archeological museum, and the gardens in Athens all in our free tree time. She also help plan other excursions that everybody was interested in. We took a sunset cruise at Santorini where we climbed an active volcanoes and swam in a hot spring. Most everyone spoke English in Italy and Greece and were very accommodatingating with direstions. We tried a variety of food and I have always loved gyros but man do I love gyros now. We made some really good friends on this trip that we were not expecting to do. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime. If you have any want to trto travel I suggest you do it. Dont think about it DO IT! If you set it as a priority the money finds it's way to you. This is the start for many adventures!"
"EF does not make safety a priority. I was on their Costa Rican Adventure New Year's trip, and we were all put in a very safe situation where two girls were badly injured, and one was physically assaulted by a member of another EF group. EF has refused to take responsibility for the events, refused to enforce repercussions with any involved parties, and would not pay for their flights home when they wanted to leave early due to safety concerns. There are cheaper, safer ways to travel as a college student. I will not be travelling with them again."
