GBCaveat Emptor Our daughter enjoyed the itinerary and the country of Belize. However, the fact that we could not use a credit card to make payments as we had to initiate a bank draft of provide a debit card is ridiculous. Especially considering that the trip was greater than $4,000 and EF tours accepted our money for 2-years prior to the departure. Then the first flight departed at zero-dark-thirty from 110-miles from home when there is an airport 3-miles from home was also frustrating. Because we needed to arrive no later than 4am to the airport we opted for a $200 hotel room the prior night. We incurred a hotel night or leave would have had to leave the house @2am. Then a 6-hour layover, probably to save more money, really was upsetting. We were then told to provide $125/pp in cash tips for the guides just prior to departing for the trip which was also frustrating. So >$600/day for a vacation package from Expedia was far more reasonable for $1,253 versus ~$4,525 should make you think twice about this company and their super inflated travel packages.

GBItaly high school trip My daughter, Jordan, a sophomore at Burr and Burton High School in Vermont, went to Italy with about 30 of her classmates. Her experience with EF Tours was exceptional. Communicating with the parents helped us prepare her for the trip and feel comfortable with her abroad. I highly recommend them.

GBEF Europe tour Just got back from a tour to Europe. We did Italy, Switzerland, and France in a week. We went as a group from Boonville, NY. We had the absolute best tour guide so I really just wanted to put that out there to thank her. Rossella Ibba spoke four languages, very knowledgeable, and tried to accommodate everyone’s needs. She has such a bubbly personality and set the mood every morning for positivity (no matter how early). ☺️ I was looking at all the pictures and really just wanted to put it out there that she is appreciated. She is such a good fit for this job and made our experience unforgettable! So thank you Rossella from the bottom of our heart. Dara and Englyn Payne 💕

GBWhen I canceled my automatic transfer… When I canceled my automatic transfer of funds you still tried to pull then charged me late fees. When trying to rectify the situation through you and the teacher that was working on organizing the tour you ignored the situation. My daughter didn’t like Juan saying he was bossy and pushy. I understand a tour guide has to move people along but this wasn’t her complaint ask my daughter for her reasons. I will say however it seemed well organized as far as what to take and when to have things ready. Times were reasonably accurate and things did seem to flow according to their plan.

GBMiddle School Italy trip My son had the beat time of his life on the Italy trip. Daily pictures updates with our kids were a plus. I felt safety of the children was a priority. Miss Martin and all the chaperones were amazing! Overall a great experience that I recommend ! We will definitely join EF tour in other trips if we have the opportunity.
