gingersmom Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 My son is interested in going on a trip to Ireland, Scotland, England with his public school run by EF educational Tours. Anyone have any experience with them? Quote
Spryte Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I went on an EF tour when I was in high school. :) We did the USSR (yes, I'm that old) - many stops there, and London. It was fun, had a great time. There were some hiccups, but this was, you know, a few years ago, so you may or may not want to hear those details. I will say that the hiccups could have been significant, and stressful, but they were out of EF's control, and EF handled them well and we had a great time despite them. So I think that's a plus.

goldberry Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 My friend in California has had two girls go on trips, and one is about to do another one. She was pleased with them. The trip about to happen (leaving next week) included Belgium. :( First thing this morning they started receiving communication about how they were restructuring the trip. Friend was impressed they were communicating proactively. Quote
Caroline Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 DS did an EF tour of Spain his senior year of high school. He had a great time. He had great school chaperones, too. I now teach at that school, and they are some of my best teacher friends. Another friend of mine is taking a group on an EF tour in Italy for spring break this year. She said it is well organized. She and the other leaders did a pre-trip trip this past fall to get ready. Quote
gingersmom Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 I'm happy to hear the good reviews. I had a hard time finding any online. They were just awful. Quote
KungFuPanda Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 My daughter did the theatre tour of London about three years ago. It was an amazing experience and the price was manageable. The payment plan made it painless. Quote

Arctic Bunny Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I went on two in high school and I only have fond memories! There were probably some things that shouldn't have happened like walking great distances, and one hotel that I wouldn't go back to. But that was *gasp* over 20 years ago. It was all an adventure.
