"Recently went to Ireland with EF CB for St. Paddy's Day. Not only did I enquire so much about Ireland history and culture, but I had the time of my life experiencing Ireland in a totally free way. Not only have my past trips been enriching with EF but I can't wait for my future ones as well! Great job EF! "

"EF College break is amazing. I have now done two tours with them. I have done the Grand Tour of Europe in the summer of 2013, and I have done St. Paddy's Day in Ireland March 2014. They were so organized with everything, and both of my tour guides were amazing. Friends, hilarious, professional, and organized. I absolutely love EF College Break, and they make you feel safe even when you a thousands of miles away. You will explore places you couldn't even dream up in your mind, and you will make best friends that you couldn't imagine your life without. I would highly recommend this company to anymore, because they are incredible! You will have a trip of your life!! "

"I have not one complaint about EF College Break. I traveled in summer 2013 with EF on the "Grand Tour of Europe." I have not one regret and booking with EF was an amazing experience. I thought the prices were amazingly reasonable (some might even say a steal!), and I saw so much more than I would have ever been able to see on my own. Keep in mind, traveling with EF is NOT a vacation. If you plan to sleep in, book the trip on your own. EF stands for Education First, and you truly do learn so much. You're up early to ensure you see all of the possible sights that some might miss if traveling without such a company. I will never forget the things I learned, places I visited, and memories I made traveling with EF and I plan to travel with them again very soon!"

"I wanted to go to Europe, but not alone. EF College Break was the obvious choice since it included the flights and tour options I was interested in. Once I got my trip started, I made friends fast with everyone in the group. We also had the best tour director, Daisy. She was very well traveled and gave us the best time with her stories and local facts. I loved how she organized some surprises for us throughout the trip. I would definitely go again if I have the time and money to do so! I had so much fun!"

"EF trips are the only way to see Europe, especially if you're a solo traveler like me. By booking through them, hotels, transportation, and some awesome activities were already taken care of, as well as having built in friends also on the trip with me. As someone who has dreamed about traveling through Europe all of her life, I was so pleased and satisfied with the EF European Panorama trip. I would recommend EF College Break to any young adult wanting to see the world!"

"Third time I've traveled with EF, second time with the College Break division. My favorite part about traveling with EF is that I don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying everything the trip has to offer. All the fine details are taken care of and the tour directors are outstanding. Stayed in great hotels and were well taken care of the entire trip. Do not hesitate to book a trip with EF!"

"I went on the Emerald Isle trip during the summer last year. This trip was the best vacation and week of my life. My first time traveling as an individual, I was at first scared about meeting people and coming out of my comfort zone. But by the end of the first day, I was completely comfortable and had already made friends with some amazing people who, in fact, made my trip what it was.
The tour had the right amount of group activities and free time, so you felt that you got to see a lot of popular tourist attractions while still having times to choose your own adventures - especially at night. I think the trip was so great because we had an awesome tour guide, Katie, who was entertaining and willing to show us places we wanted to see, share stories, and even go out to the bars with us at night. She was hilarious, and I hope she continues to do the tours for a long time!
As for the location - we got to see a LOT of Ireland, which made the trip so wonderful. It was an experience full of diverse landscape and cities. At the end, Katie showed us a map of where we had traveled, and it was incredible to see how many places we got to go in 8 days. I wouldn't trade the trip for anything, it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'll have the memories (and souvenirs!) forever. I will definitely be doing more trips with EFCB before I graduate, and I highly recommend this one, especially if you want to celebrate your Irish heritage!

"I was looking for an opportunity to travel after college without the expense of studying abroad, and EF College Break was the solution. The people at EF are helpful, knowledgable, and fun! They plan trips that are the perfect mix of pre-planned tours and events, and free time to do what you please. These experiences are indescribable, and now is the time to do it. These are just some of the reasons I'm going on my third trip with the company this summer!"

"I chose to take a leap of faith and booked a kind of spir of the moment trip to Ireland for Saint Patricks Day through EF in 2014. I was nervous...of course I had questions, would it be worth the money, would I make it through all my flights okay, would I be alright out of country for the first time, and what exactly would we expirance. Nothing no amount of wondering or day dreaming could have prepared me for the amazing trip that was to come. EF booked all the flights all I had to do was show up and have passport and ID in hand; Of course there were some bumpy flight exchanges, but that's to be expected whether you're traveling with a company or by yourself. Once me and my best friend landed we were met by our local guide and right off the bat she was fantastic. She made us feel really comfortable, and she was our age so we had a lot in common which made the whole trip more enjoyable. We went all over Southern Ireland made stops in many towns, and some of the best nights were when we let loose got away from the crowds and popped into one of the more local spots for a pint. Everywhere we went the Irish people were so friendly and encouraged us to mingle and participate right along side them. We sang Irish folk songs with long time residents of Cork, we chatted and drank green beer with students from Trinity College, and we laughed and joked with new friends we'd made while watching the St. Patty's day parade in Dublin. It wasn't just the people that made this trip so amazing, it was the places we saw and the natural wonders we visited. Every castle we stopped at was steeped in history and our guide shared plenty of stories with us. We got right up to the edge at the "Cliffs of Moher," and felt the sea in our faces as we looked over the edge at fort "Dun Aengus," there were pebbled beaches unlike anything I'd seen before and gorgeous views no matter where we went. When all is said and done Ireland was more like a beautifully wonderful dream that was gone all to quickly, and none of it ever would have happened if I wouldn't have taken that leap of faith and decided to go with EF College Break!"

"My experience with EF was one that I will never forget and one that I want to repeat ASAP. I was afraid of the unknown at first, but that was fast gone. My tour guide was the sweetest, funnest lady !!! I didn't have to worry about a thing the whole trip...everything was planned out! Hotels, transportation, activities, recommendations for things to do and eat, etc. I made so many friends and had an outstanding time. I went to Italy, France and Spain in the summer of 2013 and I am definitely planning on going on another EF trip as soon as time and the budget permits. If you are skeptical or nervous about this...abandon those feelings, take a shot and just go, even if you don't know anyone! It's safe, it's fun, it's affordable and beautiful!! No matter how much of an introvert one is, it is impossible not to enjoy the trips this amazing trips this company offers and to walk away with a life long friend. For me, EFCB deserves A+ and above!!! "

"January of 2013 was when I made the final decision that I would be spending the summer traveling through Europe. Going on the Grand Tour of Europe was the best decision I could have ever made! Without question that was the best summer of my life. It opened my eyes up to so many differently cultures, ways of life, and just a general realization of how big the world is compared to what you're used to. They say life begins at the end of your comfort zone and I couldn't agree more! Get up and get out there! There is so much exploring to do! "

"My experience with EF College Break was amazing, to say the least. My trip started out shaky with a four hour delay to Amsterdam, but our amazing tour director was aware and alert and waiting for me when we got there. Everything was scheduled and booked for me, all I had to do was make my payments. I had the most amazing trip to Amsterdam, Paris and London. I met incredible people, and all the excursions and activities they had planned for us were absolutely wonderful. It seems like a lot, but you really do end up with enough free time to do what you want. You make lifelong friends very quickly. I would recommend EF with my entire heart, and I can't wait until I can afford another trip!"
