My daughter absolutely loved this trip! I’m so glad that she’s had this opportunity to go because I doubt she would have had the experience without it. Honestly, I have no complaints. EF tours set up great places to visit and they were very meaningful to her. show less

I would highly recommend this company to any parent wanting to send their teenager to Europe. My daughter truly enjoyed her tour. Especially in Amsterdam and Paris. She was constantly on the go and was entertained throughout her trip. Thank you. show less

This trip provided me with an amazing experience that I would not have been able to get otherwise. The cultures are so unique and fun to learn and it’s really great interacting with the locals. The views and sights are amazing and I never thought I could have so much fun! The local cuisine is also a great way to really experience the culture! I would go again hands down! show less

From the second our flight got into Amsterdam to the second we stepped on the plane leaving London I enjoyed my time in Europe. The tour gave me an experience that I’ve never had before and it brought everyone traveling closer together. The sights were unlike anything I’d ever seen and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. From Amsterdam to Brussels to Paris to London, I wouldn’t have changed a thing, but everything changed me and I am so thankful for my experience. show less

One of the highlights of my life! (I used to believe the films that make tour groups look miserable. How stupid I was!) EF Tours took care of every detail, every moment was a wonderful experience, and traveling in a group was way better than I could have ever imagined. The students made great traveling companions, and I can't wait to do it again! I have signed up for three more trips, and am planning on putting together a fourth. show less

Although my tour had some issues, our Tour Director was tireless in problem solving and trying to keep our spirits upbeat. She made 6 trips to the airport when one of our Buddy groups was without their luggage for 2 days! I don’t know where she got the energy because I know she was the last one to sleep and the first one up. Because we had some issues, she included some alternate free activities and extended free time to make up for that and she was amazing and integral to making our trip an overall positive experience. We had some issues with a hotel in Paris that had no AC and didn’t give us a bagged lunch as they promised and she got them to open up the hotel breakfast early so that we could eat before taking the train ho London. Overall we had an amazing time. Yes there were some issues but I don’t think any trip goes completely without issues. Having been on an EF Tour to Italy and Greece, we had some minor issues there as well & the Tour Director was awesome on that trip as well as a great problem solver as well. The sites we saw were beautiful and although the weather was terribly hot in France, our Tour Director made sure we had time to get drinks and included ice cream at dinner. I would recommend EF to anyone. With one of the issues we had that our Tour Director had to problem solve, EF later sent someone to check on us at our next stop to make sure things were running smoothly. That attention to detail was appreciated. Our entire group had a number of food allergies, dietary requirements such as vegetarian and vegans, gluten free and no fish and our Tour Director and restaurants made sure those were accommodated. The restaurants for dinner served really good food. The local guides did a great job explaining everything and the Bus Drivers were pleasant and just nice. One bus driver from Amsterdam bought our whole bus Stroop Waffle cookies because he’s Dutch and wanted us to taste them! Overall my group enjoyed it and many said they would travel with me again on my next trip. show less

I was so excited for this trip, unfortunately I have never been so glad to be home. The tour guide had the whole group literally running through the streets, students were being left behind, people were falling and being injured. The chaperones who were there for free, had their own agenda, not concerned with the safety of the students, seemed quite irritated when parents voiced their concerns. The accommodations in Paris were horrible, unsafe and filthy. This motel should NEVER have been booked!! Safety concerns inside the motel and outside the motel. At this point of the trip, my family and I would have flown home if possible. The planned itinerary was changed several times without consenting the group and the excursions were so rushed it was unbelievable. We were given maybe an hour and a half at Versailles....not only running thru the streets but pretty much running thru every scheduled excursion. It was absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. I am grateful for the experience of seeing these historical sights, but make no mistake I will never be booking another one of these tours with EF. There were several times that lunches and bathroom breaks we're completely ignored, if you stopped without the group, be prepared to be left behind. No one was able to enjoy and take in any of the sights that we all paid to see and experience....sad. show less

Having some groups show up late often, making those who were on time wait constantly was difficult. Someone had their cell phone booster stolen while charging it in the back of the bus and two students went on a tour at the expense of two people who had paid. Those two who had paid will never have the experience of seeing inside the palace at Versailles. Those two students were not given any consequence, other thatn to apologize.
All in all, it was a good trip. The tour guides were great and the tours that were offered were worthwhile. I would have opted out of the black history tour. show less

This was an amazing trip. We saw so much in the amount of time we had. My only complaint was the hotel in Paris, not a good experience. It should be taken off the list.
The sites and cities were gorgeous and we were blessed with incredible weather. The students had a lot of fun and I am sure this will be a highlight of their childhood memories. show less

I was totally impressed by our tour director. He was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend him to any group.
I was NOT impressed by our Group leader however, she was not prepared for this trip. She brought her special needs son with her, who had melt downs on a daily basis. He made the entire group ill at ease with his antics. Luckily our kids fell in with another group of kids and enjoyed the tour. I, however, was not that lucky. I felt obligated to stay with her and her son which made my trip HORRIBLE. show less
