"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 experience was unreal and better than I could’ve imagined! Stop thinking about it and just book your dream vacation through EF! "
"Honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I first got to the trip. The people I met made the trip amazing. I will never forget hopping from island to island experiencing the Grecian lifestyle and culture. Kyri my tour guide kept us engaged and always had great recommendations for us to do on each island. I look forward to the next tour. "
"Hi! I figure you are like me when it comes to reading reviews. You are looking not for enormous praise about the trip or a flat out complaint about what went wrong and why they would never go on trip with Ultimate Break ever again. You are looking for an honest review where you can get some idea what trip you want to go on and with who. So hopefully, I can be helpful. First off, my trip was the England, Scotland, and Ireland. Second, I had never been to Europe before, even flown longer flights than two hours. So, I had no real experience, and I was going in blind. My trip was what those five stars show, it was excellent and amazing. However, it did not come without bumps, literal ones. Halfway through, I twisted my ankle before one of the walking excursions. Not fun, but it was just a sprain but no big issues, just a sore ankle for a day or two. Other than that, my trip was unforgettable. I got to see amazing sights in England, and even with free days and trying to plan everything to do, there still was not enough time in the day. Same goes for Scotland and Ireland. There were small towns to visit and landscapes to see and explore in each country and extra excursions our tour guide told us about and we got to see. They were all so exciting to see and experience! Now before I end my really long review, I will say some honest truths. The hostels we stayed at were sketchy and tiny. The bathrooms still haunt me and try having six women in one room with one bathroom. Actually, there was no issue sharing the bathroom we all adapted and just made a bathroom schedule and worked with each other habits. Just still would have loved an extra bathroom. Bring good, very well worn, walking shoes. The trip was said to be low activity, but my tour guides literally wore hiking boots, I brought sneakers. Hence a twisted ankle. If you can, upgrade your economy flight to business. I had the basic seating for my flight had no real issues, but a little more leg room would have been nice. It is awkward meeting a bunch of strangers you are going to stay with for over a week, but it gets easier, and you actually meet some great people. So great even, you made a group chat with them and start to make plans to visit them in their hometown once a year, swapping through the group. Honestly, the only way to really find out if you liked this trip or others is to just go on one. With Ultimate Break they were very helpful and planned lots of trips and things to do and gave good recommendations. So, I would definitely use them again. I hope you can give them a chance to and see if you like them too. Be safe and happy travels! :D

"I had an phenomenal time on this trip! Some of the highlights of the trip was riding through the Ring Kerry, seeing the jaw dropping sights of the Cliffs of Moher, swimming on the Aran Island and picnicking at Glendalough! Marco was an awesome tour guild and hassle free aspect of booking with EF just make for a spectacular experience! I would 110% recommend this trip! "
"I went as a solo traveler to Europe. I am so so happy to have made the leap and chose this company. It was amazing from the friends I made to the stress I didn't have! I cant for my next trip! I am going to try and get all of the friends we traveled with to do it again. It was such an amazing trip!"
"EF is the easiest way to travel. I do not have to worry about my flights or accommodations, and everything is extremely organized. This trip was the BEST experience of a lifetime. It was a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. I got to do everything I wanted on this trip and more. This was my first time traveling solo and the people that came on this trip made ALL the difference. So happy to say that I went to Hawaii knowing no one, and left with 20 new friends. "
"If you’ve been thinking of traveling, make this your first big trip! It’s so worth it! Our tour director, Selu, was very knowledgeable and super cool! And our group was so much fun! Do not even worry if you’re going to make friends(especially if you’re going solo), you will! This is a fast faced trip that feels like you’re going nonstop. One day you’re arriving in Dublin and next you’re on your plane home! Truly it felt like a dream. Be sure to bring a pair of comfortable shoes because you will be exploring ALL DAY!!!! If you are ready to feel like the main character, book this trip. I had several moments on this trip where I was just stunned at what I was seeing! And I Felt so grateful that I had the opportunity to experience this trip. One thing that I really liked about this trip is you weren’t tied to the itinerary of the day. If you wanted to go and explore or do something else, you were welcome to! Piece of advice, you can never bring enough socks. "
"I was a little worried going in that it was too good to be true but EF Ultimate Break lived up to everything and more. From traveling with like-minded peers where some turned out to become my friends, to seeing so much in such a short amount of time, having a knowledgeable, helpful, and positive tour director, to not having to worry about a thing other than being somewhere on time - EF Ultimate Break I couldn't recommend more to people who want to travel and don't want to worry about planning it themselves."
"Had the most amazing trip in Europe with the best guide, Andreas. Had not been to Europe before and had no idea how to plan a trip on my own, and am very glad I decided to jump on an EF trip last minute. The ages on my specific trip were a little young, myself being mid-20s, but the personalities meshed well and everybody on the trip worked to ensure everyone had a good time. Definitely take a few days off work coming home though! A trip this long and jam packed comes down to pacing yourself, especially in the summer months when the heat was brutal. My friends and I tried to balance nightlife in each city with the walking tours and extra activities every day, and though we came back a little sleep deprived the memories we made will last a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend this trip if you are on the fence, and would love to answer any questions that may arise."
"Costa Rica was everything and more! Despite the rainy season, my group made every moment count. The activities were incredible and our guide was hands down one of the best. Love you Priscilla! Thank you EF for all of the new friends I have now. Book the trip, life’s too short!"
"This trip took my breath away every other minute! I had an amazing experience with a great balance of free time and guided tours. I will mourn this trip until I die, best days of my life by far."
"I’ve been traveling with EF in general since I was 17 and I have not been disappointed yet! I think EF gives you a perfect balance of stress free travel every trip I’ve taken through EF have been amazing my tour directors have been amazing! I will continue traveling through EF for as long as possible! Thank you EF for being an amazing and helpful company you guys are the best! "
"I love EF trips and it’s always a great experience. I recommend EF to my friends constantly. I have done 3 trips with EF Ultimate Break and am signed up for 4 more. Love love love them. Cannot recommend enough."
"Our tour director Diarmuid Crowley was amazing, and it truly felt like we were friends instead of him being hired to tour us around Ireland! He made sure we knew of many things to do in the towns we were in and helped us as much as he could!"
"The organization and structure of the trip was very well thought out and allowed for opportunities to explore much of the area with appropriate opportunities to rest or venture off in various areas of interest. I attribute this to the tour director Vasilis Pappas for his incredible care, patience and attention to detail."
