The tour guide for our students was… The tour guide for our students was fantastic. The hotel accommodations where decent. The only big change I would suggest is letting the families know of the change in return travel documents that EF requires with the hard deadlines in order for families to pick up there students and travel after the school trip is complete. I would also let school or students know ahead of time that the student is responsible for purchasing lunch daily. We did not know that we had to purchase lunch ever day making the cash brought on the trip a bit different for our student.

High school art trip Our daughter and her classmates had a fantastic experience in Italy! The trip was fun, flawless, and educational! We travel often and this was a perfectly executed art trip with an extra large group of high school students. Wonderful opportunity for those who wouldn’t otherwise travel. She is looking forward to next years trip!

Life-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.

Wonderful experience for my son My son went on an EF Tours trip with his school and he had a blast! He's usually pretty reserved and quiet, but ended up making new friends and really enjoyed himself. He's going to college this Fall and will be majoring in History, so this trip was very exciting for him. They visited so many historical sites and tried so many new things. We would 100% recommend this trip!!

Caveat 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.
