GBCosta Rica with Gustavo! I joined my daughter, her teacher, and other students on the Costa Rica trip. We LOVED it! It's a beautiful country and the locals were just lovely and very welcoming. The experiences we had were amazing and we learned SO much from our guide Gustavo. He was there every step of the way. We were very active on this trip - lots of challenging hiking, zip lining (it was awesome), and snorkeling/swimming. We saw and learned about so many birds and animals, and we hiked a volcano. It was surreal. The hotels and bus were comfortable. Our favorite hotel was the Buena Vista Lodge-the sunsets were breathtaking! Our only disappointment is that it was advertised as a week-long trip. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and our flights home were early morning the following Friday, so we felt like we were robbed of an entire day. We should have traveled home the following Saturday. We also had a very long layover (6 hours) between flights which was daunting, but we made the best of it as we had all bonded during this wonderful trip. I would absolutely recommend EF Tours, Gustavo, and Costa Rica. It's the most gorgeous place. Pura Vida!

GBOur daughter came home from this trip… Our daughter came home from this trip and could not stop talking about her experience in Costa Rica. She spoke very highly of their tour guide and shared that he made a difference in the trip.

GBLife-changing experiences for student travelers Have sent children abroad with EF on two different trips and each was extraordinary. EF puts traveler safety at the top of the priority list, and the local guides who are with them are incredible. Would highly recommend EF and their offerings. Life-changing experiences for student travelers.

GBEF was excellent! EF was great every step of the way, from direct customer service support before the trip to the exceptional staff on my daughter's tour. I loved the app, too, to be able to see what she was up to each day of the trip. Great work!

GBThe Dominican Republic Tour The tour and tour guide and bus driver… The tour and tour guide and bus driver were all great. The downside was the long flight layovers going and coming home. I think a small increase in the monthly payment to ensure better flights would be unnoticeable over the course of two years and make for a more pleasurable and less tiring experience.
