"The best thing you could spend your money on. I promise you. Changes your life. Signing up for my 3rd trip with them today."
"Great travel agency. Affordable, thorough and always reachable for questions and help. I had the time of my life and cannot wait to travel again!"
"I had the absolute best time on the EF College break trip I took. I got to see the world and meet amazing people. Thanks to EF the logistics of the trip were completely taken care of and we got to enjoy Europe without any of the stress! I would take another EF trip in a heartbeat! "
"Last August, my sister and I spent eight days in Ireland. It had been a long time dream of mine to visit and I finally saved enough money to make it come true. The EF College Break tour group was perfect for us because it allowed us to pay monthly until the trip took off. First day, we visited the Guinness brewery in Dublin and had a ‘welcome mixer’ to meet our fellow travelers. Everyone was really nice and fun to travel with. Especially our tour guide Kaytee and our driver Phil. They definitely made our experience much more enjoyable. Their knowledge and their hilarious stories on the bus made our trip extra special. The next day we took a sightseeing tour of Dublin, where we saw the Ha’penny bridge and Oscar Wilde’s house. We also visited the 800 year old St. Patrick’s cathedral. We then left for county Cork and spent the day there. The next day we went to the Blarney castle to kiss the blarney stone. We had some free time in Blarney and hung out with locals. Be prepared to laugh and drink when you hang out with the locals. They are all true comedians and will offer to buy you many pints. We then drove to county Kerry along the beautiful scenic route of the ring of Kerry and visited bog village; a recreation of a rural Irish village from the early 1800’s. On the way to the city of Galway on the west coast of Ireland, we stopped and viewed the gorgeous, 700 ft tall, cliffs of Moher. On our free night in Galway we met some awesome people at a pub and ended up hanging out with them all night. We exchanged info and still keep in touch. My sister and I plan to go back and visit our new Irish friends! On our last day we took a trip to the Aran islands, where Gaelic is the official language. The highlight here was Dún Aengus, a 2,000-year-old fort whose walls go right up to the side of a cliff high above the sea. Ireland is a fantastic and breathtakingly beautiful place. Never had I met so many kind and funny people in one country. It's truly an experience I'll never forget and thanks to EF College break's help, I made one my life long dreams come true. "
"Ef college break really had an impact in my life. As a young traveler I got to experience life in other places, while alone with complete strangers who then became family. EF will make life easier in a couple of days without asking for much. I met wonderful people, learned different cultures and witnessed breathtaking moments. Thank you EF college break for creating trips of endless laughs and blissfulness. "
"I've used EF for two trips. I went on the NYE Amsterdam, Paris and London and Spain, France and Italy trips! Both times made life long friends and had the time of my life. I leave later this week to go with EF on the Costa Rican Adventure trip and I am so excited! All my tour directors have been so helpful and made the trips worry free and fun filled :)"
"I went on the Amsterdam, Paris, & London tour last summer and it was awesome!!
It was my first time in Amsterdam and it was the perfect way to start the trip! We did have a lot of free time there so my friends and I really got to know the city. Check out the Artis Zoo during your free time and the "IAMSTERDAM" sign is less crowded later in the day. Also try the fries with mayonnaise!
I have been to Paris and London but during winter and it was freezing so going again in the summer it was like a brand new experience. EF does all the work so you just have to show up! They got us into the Chateau de Versailles, to the top of the Eiffel Tower, hop-on hop-off bus tour in London (best way to explore the city), and other neat things. It was nice not having to worry about buying tickets and scheduling things. There are a lot of other optional opportunities (bike ride in the Netherlands countryside, cabaret show in Paris, etc)... TAKE THEM ALL! Everyone in my group did everything and they're all worth the costs.
It's kind of a shorter trip so it did feel a bit rushed, I would've liked some more time to appreciate my surroundings (especially in Paris) so make good use of your time and wear comfortable shoes!
Our tour guide Matt was AWESOME. He really made the trip so much better and was patient with the rambunctious group of American college students. Also, you'll make a lot of new friends on the tour! My whole group got along wonderfully and we all became friends.
Why you should go EF College Break tours:
-fun opportunities
-no stress
-great guide
-cool group"
"My trip with EF College Break was amazing! I went on the European Adventure and had the time of my life. I have done many organized teen travel groups, but because of the older crowd this one was my favorite. We had organized events but everything was optional, allowing us freedom to do our own thing and see places we wanted to see. With that being said, there is an accountability aspect that all travelers should be aware of. While you can do your own thing, make sure you are there for the bus to leave to the next destination. I strongly recommend!! "
"EF College Break is awesome! I had such an amazing time on my first adventure last Summer to Spain, France and Italy for two weeks. I had the most amazing time enjoying the sights, exploring, learning about the different cultures and history as well as meet so many awesome people. I traveled alone on my trip but I was not nervous or worried because of the EF facebook group that helped me get to know the group prior to the trip. I was excited to meet everyone and make lasting friendships. Everyone on the trip was nice and we all got along. It was a fun way to meet people from all over the U.S. who share the same love of traveling as I do. It was such an amazing experience being able to walk around each city, take beautiful pictures and experience the daily activities and nightlife. I always felt comfortable and safe from the moment I took off from home until landing back home. I felt so safe having such a kind, caring and friendly tour guide and a great group of students who I have made friends with. We still keep in touch and have visited each other or plan to visit when we can. EF is a great way to meet people and share travel experiences, hobbies and passions with. It was an amazing experience to try the foods, see the museums, the sports games, nightlife, dancing, flamenco, beaches, views, art, architecture, churches, and of course the beautiful weather and kind people. It was great to be able to experience new cultures, learn bits and pieces of each language and to feel so free and happy in a new place. The hotels were so nice, the areas surrounding them were beautiful and it was just so nice to be able to relax and have such an amazing experience. I am so glad EF was able to provide me with such an amazing memorable experience by helping me with my questions, concerns and thoughts. I look forward to many more EF trips to come.
Thank you,
Nicollete Izakovic :)"
"EF College Break is a great company to travel with. I found them after traveling with their sister company, EF Tours, in high school and I've since traveled with EFCB on two trips, both amazing. EF College Break offers the convenience of booking a trip on your own but having the safety of getting to a destination and traveling with a group. They offer flexible tours with a good balance of informative tours and free time to explore and adventure on your own.
I would highly recommend EFCB if you are between the ages of 18 to 26 and want to travel. It can be hard to travel by yourself to a new country where you may not speak the language and most definitely don't know the area - EFCB breaks down all these barriers. I feel very safe and comfortable traveling with them and feel that I got a very good trip for the amount I paid.
Traveling with EF College Break is affordable, enjoyable, and most definitely memorable. I traveled with them in 2011 to Spain, France, and Italy and I am still in contact with many of the people on my tour. Their motto of 'Be a traveler.' definitely fits them because that's what it allows you to do. Whether you've traveled extensively or this is your first time out of the country, EFCB makes it easy and plans everything so that the only thing you have to worry about is getting on the bus and taking lots of pictures to show to your unadventurous friends back home!"
"I had the time of my life with Ef college break! I went to Australia and New Zealand and it was the best summer of my life. The people I got to share the trip with were amazing, our group was crazy fun and we all became friends really fast. I went by myself but that wasn't a problem because everyone was so friendly. We were basically a very diverse group who loved the same things so we instantly clicked. I got to see a lot of cites and learn a lot, I met new people and of course we partied too! With Ef there is time for everything and you can do what you love and travel and have fun too! I would really recommend that trip and this company because it was amazing!"
"I went on three tours with EF and loved every single one! I saw so many sights, explored so many cities, and made lots of great friends (so of which I still keep in touch with even after months after our tour ended. I loved the fact that while there is some structure to the trips, there is still free time to go on your own adventures. It's a shame I've passed the age limit because I would have done a forth tour with them! "
"EF College Break was an amazing program for me to see London & Paris (for New Years') for the first time. It's the perfect way to get a taste of the cities without worrying about the hassle of airfare, hotels, or transportation. EF College Break set up all of the backend planning, sightseeing tour, and some sight visits for me while allowing a good amount of free time to explore on my own. I signed up alone, but made friends by the end of the trip. The staff at EF College Break were also beyond helpful in working with me to make my monthly payments to work around my online crowdfunding and did everything possible to help me go on this trip. It was absolutely amazing. I would totally go on another trip again. The only reason I haven't booked is because I don't know when my next vacation after college is yet!"
"I am so happy that I used EF College Break and could not possible imagine a better experience touring through Spain! I went alone, but not one day did it feel that way. Everyone in our group became instant friends and I still currently keep in touch with many of the members. I knew about this company since I did a tour with them in high school and loved it. The fact that they gear the tours for people in my age group makes it that much better since most of us were all looking for the same experience! Our tour guide was amazing, the places we went were beautiful... this company does a great job organizing a VERY memorable trip."
"EF was extremely helpful since I signed up
for this trip so last minute. They were very accommodating. I also enjoyed all the activities planed and the reasonable prices for the trip. "
"I have been on two trips with EF College Break. Both trips were outstanding. When I tell people about EF College Break and all that we receive for the price we pay, they are astounded. Never once, on either trip, did I ever feel unsafe. The trips are always perfectly planned down to a T for every hour of every day. And all tours are stocked with personable, witty and knowledgeable tour guides. I never thought that traveling around the world could be so comfortable. Thank you EF! I am already planning my third trip. :)"
