This was such a wonderful, educational and fun trip. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting and fun person. We were able to see so much! I would recommend this trip to all students and adults. I am looking forward to going on another trip. show less

Words can not express how wonderful this trip was for our group. We fell in love with our tour guide,which was reciprocal. During the trip she gave the students several educational tasks to bring their short term memories into their long term memories. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was learning while having fun. This, by far, was my absolute FAVORITE tour, because of our tour guide! We also felt so safe because EF was looking out for us. For example, they wouldn't allow us to go to Turkey. Instead, they had the cruise ship drop us off at Samos where we spent 8 hours. It ended up being a highlight of the trip! It's Pythagorus's birthplace! The one negative experience was with our first bus driver. He cussed out our tour guide and threatened to leave us at a rest stop. The kids were very frightened and upset. We were then given the absolute BEST bus drivers for the remainder of the trip. That's one thing about EF; if something is wrong, they always do their best to fix it. THANK YOU! show less

I have done this trip for the third time. What I love about it is the way the journey from country to country mirrors the spread and development of Western Civilization. Students also learn to acclimate to Europe by starting with an English speaking country. And just when the feel like they've had enough of urban Paris, we arrive in Switzerland with all it's natural beauty. When they are finally full of museums and monuments in Italy and Greece, we enjoyed the relaxation of the cruise ship to sample the Greek islands. You see the best of Europe, and when you get home and look at your pictures, you won't believe all the beauty you beheld! show less

This was the most incredible trip I've ever taken in my life.
Our Tour Director, made it so special. It was a whirlwind but fascinating to see all those different places. I will remember it forever. Some of the hotels were a little rustic, but overall the accommodations were good. Some of the restaurants rushed us through our meals. But the food was good overall. show less

Overall thr trip was fantastic. Saw so much in a short time. We spent a lot of time waiting for the bus and our guide to get tickets for our tours. Felt extremely rushed in the museums and did not get much time to see everything since we ran out of time. Food was ok, pretty bland and may be that way for the kids. Hotels are small and showers are TINY! Switzerland and Greece were my favorite. show less

Would have given 5 stars but many times the tour buses arrived late which shortened time at location. It was still an amazing experience. show less

Worst experience ever. Hotels were dirty and smelled and stains on carpets and in bad areas where we could only go outside to leave on the bus. We were marched around each city but didn't really get to see any attractions. A lot of stuff we did was walking/driving by but not paying to go in and experience the site. When we did stop it was for only 10-20 minutes, where you can't really experience the site. Breakfast and dinners were done on the cheap and not good quality of food. We got good taking pictures while we walked by. We were not allowed to stop. show less
