"Traveling with EF is always a blast. I've already done three trips with EF, and am booking my fourth as soon as I get the logistics figured out. You meet amazing people, see amazing places, and have amazing experiences when you travel with EF. I have gone on each of my trips as a solo traveler and returned with new friends across the country, who I am still in touch with. There's nothing quite like a trip with EF College Break!"

"It's an exhilarating experience, which is absolutely unforgettable! You meet a bunch of new people, and get a lot for your money! It's really about how much you take advantage of what's offered through this company. The only downside was that some of the people you travel with are more into the partying than the cultural aspect of the trip."

"My first experience traveling with EF college break was just last month & it was amazing! We traveled to Amsterdam, Paris, and London. I didn't know how I would like an itinerary and a tour guide but I loved it. EF was very organized and our tour guide Darren Thompson was awesome! I highly recommend EF college break!"

"The trip was an experience of a life time!! The tour guide/director, adam, was awesome. It seemed like other people who a different director, didnt have as much fun(eg-Darren's group). All in all, I'd most defiantly recommend the New Years trip to Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and London again to anybody that has the money. I spent about 800€ and 200£ total during my travels. "

"I was very displeased by this trip and regret signing up for it because I feel I could have gotten more out of my money. I paid almost 4000.00, actually probably a bit more of that because we had to pay for the "extra trips" which should have been included. The locations of the hotels where we stayed were really far away from the actual cities and having to share one bed with a total stranger was a bit too cheap. The prices at this time were lower than the high season so there should have been no problem getting us prime locations. If that happened we would not have to pay for the extra fares to get to the various cites. I feel this company is ripping college kids off. Although I made the best of the experience, I would not recommend this trip to anyone else. Hopefully many changes will be made. "

"I went on New Years 2014 London and Paris not knowing anyone and having never been abroad before, and I can easily say that it was the best experience of my life. There were a few issues, mostly with the Ministry of Sound excursion (no shuttle to it, a lot of other things promised that we didn't get) but honestly I look back and remember nothing but the good times like how I partied in a DJ booth with my new best friends and met some crazy locals, so it didn't really matter in the end. I did so many things that I never would have imagined and met some amazing people, both locals and fellow travelers; it's life-changing. They're not kidding when they say that your group connects instantly and you make life-long friends! One tip? Don't go with everything planned out. Of course a few things that matter to you, but know that you won't see/do everything and that it's okay if you don't! Having an open mind and a willingness to go outside your comfort zone is the best way to travel. Our EF tour guide, Vasilis, really allowed us to have that exploration time as well as fit in important and touristy things which was perfect. It's hard traveling alone, especially if it's your first time abroad, but I think that's the best way to do it. Everyone's new and everyone's looking for something or wanting an adventure, and that bond really connects people together in a way I don't think any other group setting could.
Go.

"I wasn't sure exactly what to expect on a group tour, I just knew that after already traveling Thailand and Paris as a solo traveler I wanted to give it a go. I'm so glad that i did. Everyone in this group was so great! i have made amazing friends and the TD, Fran was so sweet and funny and such joy to be around and to learn from. Campaigning for a reunion! :) Thank you EF!"

"This trip was a lot of fun and it was so much fun to meet knew people. Realize this though, it is expensive in Europe and you do not realize how expensive it is until you get over there. That part was kind of a bummer. Only having breakfasts included can be difficult. The hotel we got in Berlin was amazing! It was in the middle of all the action, however, in Prague we did not find that at all. We were far away from everything and it was a long train ride there and back and then a ten minute walk. Also, in Munich we had a decent location, still a long train ride in."

"My trip exceeded all my expectations. My tour director was awesome, the places we went in Spain were incredible, and the people I met on this trip were amazing. I made plenty of new friends and will remember this trip for the rest of my life. Hands down best trip I've ever taken."

"EF College break is amazing. This company is extremely trustworthy, efficient, organized, and most of all it helped me live my dream of touring Europe. I went to the New Years Europe tour and I could not have picked a better tour. I was a bit hesitant at first on how a group of 30 students were going to be able to explore and take-in 9 countries and countless cities in only 16 days...but EF made it happen. The flights, transportation, hotels, excursions...all taken care of immaculately. Even though it was only a few days in each city, we were all still able to immerse ourselves and made unforgettable memories. The best part of EF college break are the fellow college students you meet during the tour; and of course your tour director! We were all like a famly by the end of the trip. Were all already planning for our next trip with EF very soon!"

"I went on the 16 day new years European tour. I had a blast! I went with my roommate from college which was a very good idea because it made rooming situations better since I already knew and trusted one of the people I was staying with. I thought my tour director was very good at organizing events outside of what was covered through the tour. Everything that costs a little extra, I feel was worth it. There is plenty of free time too so that you can see other things. I would recommend EF College Break to anyone who is new to traveling and wants to experience the both the tourist aspect of travel as well as gain local experiences."

"My name is Hassan "Hasi" Barzani and I just recently graduated as an undergraduate student from The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in August 2013. I just recently came back from my first EF College Break Trip by doing the 16 days European Roadtrip. This trip was an post-graduate gift for all of my hard working years through schooling. While doing this trip, it was a life-changing experience that I will live with forever. Ef Tours staff did their job at all-times above and beyond their call of duty. The students attending in my group were like one big happy family at the end of the trip. I do plan on doing another trip with this amazing company this summer hopefully both in Spain and Greece. This will be a great way before late August 2014, I plan on taking my talents to the Windy City of Chicago, IL for work and graduate school. GO EF COLLEGE BREAK GO! GO EF TOURS GO! Sign up for a life-changing cause! "
