"This trip was amazing! My first trip with EF and I was going as a solo traveler. At first I was a bit nervous going alone but I met so many amazing people that I can now call friends! Our tour director Fabrice was remarkable! He was very knowledgeable and always gave us extra options of things to do at the places we visited. I definitely recommend him as a tour guide! The trip was just so perfect. Ireland has been my dream vacation and I'm so glad I booked it. I already have two more trips booked with EF and I cannot wait! It! If you are thinking about booking a trip, just do it! I promise you won't regret it!"
"This trip was amazing and really life changing! I had been dreaming of going to Europe since high school and finally got my chance because of EF. I signed up as a scared solo traveler and I loved every day, even when it rained. I got to live out my Harry Potter dreams in London's King's Cross Station, use my limited German vocab in Germany and Switzerland, and enjoy real Italian cuisine in four Italian cities. I also found a love for Paris and Amsterdam from just walking around the streets and interacting with locals. The beauty of EF is that you have scheduled tours and excursions, but a lot of the time you can just explore on your own or with the new friends you are bound to make. Our guide knew the cities very well and always gave us lots of options for our free time. I came home from this trip exhausted from the 30 days of traveling, but also refreshed and awakened with a new love of life. I highly recommend a trip with EF and hope to go on another one soon!"
"I traveled with my two best friends and we were unsure what to expect but it was literally the most amazing thing. It was an organized carefree trip, but we were also allowed to go off and do our own things with other people we met from our group! Erick was the best and knew possibly anything and everything that he could. Definitely plan on going on another trip soon! Pura Vida!!"
"I was a solo traveler, so i was quite nervous about going across the world alone! Everything was almost perfectly planned out, they were all places that i would have never seen going on my own! They also give you plenty of time for fun! Our Tour guide Shane, literally, made our trip. The Hostels and hotel that you stay in are obviously not 5-star but they are clean and nice and staying with more than one other person is an experience in itself! I would definitely be planning another trip!"
"The trip was a 2 week trip traveling through Melbourne, Cairns, Morton Island, Surfer's Paradise, and Sydney. All amazing cities and Tiggy our tour guide went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and had all necessities. Only thing that I believe should be changed for future tours is cutting out Morton Island and Tangalooma Resort. The resort was way over priced and not tailored to the age group that EF targets. Also, by cutting out Morton Island, one day can be added to Carins and Surfer's Paradise that I felt could of been longer stays. Other than those few aspects, the trip was incredible and extremely memorable!"

"Just got back last week from Ireland! Had such amazing time n met so many new friends :)! Our tour guy Darren was the best! Already signed up for 2 more trips in Europe! Love EF college break! "
"This trip was amazing. There is no way that I would have been able to plan it better myself! I went on this trip alone. I was nervous at first but all of the nerves left when I met everyone! My group had 22 people. Some came together but majority were alone like me. Everyday was jam packed with excitement. Don;t plan on getting too much sleep.... there is not much time for that, but your adrenaline will keep you going. The first day is a bit hard because of jet lag but it's worth it. Your tour guide plans out the days and gives you ideas of what to do during your free time. The tours through each city were awesome. They hire amazing guides that know each place like the back of their hand. I 100% recommend college break! "
"I traveled solo and had the best time of my life. Of course there were things that needed improvement with EF and the tour but over all it was the best experience of my life. I spent months looking at reviews of the company and checking out the BBB to see what had been reported and after my trip I found all the complaints to be unwarranted! I have been home from the Grand Tour of Ireland for less than a week and I am already planning my next EF trip! I wish Go Ahead Tours was more like EF! The only thing I think that would have made this trip a little better is if EF allowed for a personallity quiz so they know who to put in rooms together. The night owls and the early birds were all mixed up in the beginning and we didn't figure out who was spending their vacation in similar fashion until the end of the tour. I think a personality quiz that explains how an individual wants to spend their vacation would make it easier for people to connect right away! Other than that I wish EF let people travel with them for longer! "
"I had a fantastic time traveling around Spain with EF College Break. At first I was skeptical as I had never traveled w/ a tour group before and I was concerned it was going to be a bit of a **** show especially as I was a solo traveler however everything ran very smoothly and was very well organized. I feel this tour gives you the best value for your money as the flights are included as well as accommodations, transportation, entrance fees, and breakfast. I also liked that you have a lot of flexibility as you could participate in as many activities or excursions as you want or have some free time. Also a big shout out to tour guide Antonio San Juan for making everything easy and showing us the best of Spain. I would definitely travel w/ EF again and recommend them to anyone. "
"This is my second adventure with EF and they make the entire process so easy. All the important things are arranged (housing, flights and the trips in between). Each tour guide I've had has been amazing- caring only about how much fun we're having. Traveling is invaluable when it comes to learning about the world and about yourself. EF is fairly priced for the incredible experience they offer.
We did have trouble post trip- our last leg of our flight got cancelled so we called EF to discuss refunds because they were who booked the trip. They told us to go directly to the airlines, which makes sense. But they weren't very helpful and moderately rude about it. Customer service when booking any tour I've taken has been friendly, helpful and efficient. "
"This was my first trip with EF college break and I was skeptical how things would be run. But my skepticism was turned around by the end of the trip completely. I would highly reccomend EF College Break to anyone who wants to travel and is in the age ranges between 18-28.
Throughout the whole trip everything went smoothly and I felt like I didn't have to think or worry. Your flight and hotels for all cities you visit are included. Your transportation from the airport to the hotel, hotel to airport (or for us in between the trip train station as well to get from London to Paris) is included as well. The subway system tickets were also included as well as breakfast every morning in the hotels. Your tour director remains the same each trip and they are AMAZING (at least mine was! Go Gador!)
The overall experience is truly amazing and was put together so nicely! Money wise the only thing you have to worry about is lunch and dinner everyday, souvenirs and tips. Much of everything else is included except also free time activities that you do not do as a group. "
"My experience on this EF College Break tour was more than I could have hoped for. This was my first time out of the USA for me and I was quite nervous. Factoring in my lofty food restrictions due to Celiac Disease I was worried, but my trip consultants (Eric, Madison, Natasha) and tour director (Antonis) were all so helpful in making sure I was prepared and included.
We did absolutely EVERYTHING possible in each place. I would recommend signing up for all optionals and excursions because they are chosen to give you the best and most complete cultural experience. Be prepared for very little sleep since each minute is filled to the max. I will definitely consider another trip with EF College Break!"
"When I booked my trip EF was very helpful. My questions were answered or redirected to someone more knowledgeable on the matter in a timely fashion. They were very thorough in letting us know what to expect from the trip and what steps to take to be fully prepared for it and when those steps should be completed (such as visas, passports, independent travelling and so on.)
As the trip drew nearer they reminded you what you should have ready which as really nice. They also created a Facebook group for all the travelers to get to know each other in a small way, although it seemed most people were pretty shy. Throughout the trip having that group was awesome to share our pictures and cool places other people had found. Our tour director, Margarita (easily the greatest person ever!) used the page to keep everyone updated as well (breakfast times, departing times for tours and excursions, etc.) which was very handy!
Margarita had everything planned out to a T. She was knowledgeable of the area and frequently pointed out cool pubs and free/cheap activities in the area. She was very funny, kind and friendly. Every conversation with her was pleasantly genuine. She always had a smile on her face and gave us plenty of options to choose from for our free time. The trip itself was amazing and the guides she booked for us were always very informative and friendly. This trip helped me find a second home and I'm extremely glad I was able to experience it this way and it's all thanks to EF!"
"This is my second time with EF. The first time I went to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. I didn't think I could love EF more than my last experience but I did! Our tour guide, Giordano, was top notch! everything was so smooth! The hostels we stayed in for Italy were really nice!! I highly recommend this trip for any foodie. Gio had the best suggestions on how to spend your time and authentic Italian restaurants to try. It was such a fun girls trip and I encourage you to give EF a try!"
