EF tours at the start seemed like a good way to help me and my family travel for a lower cost. However, the cost difference, no matter what it is (unless it is free) will never be worth what they have put us through. When we had all payed off our trips, we threw a celebration party as our accounts had said $0 left to pay for the entire trip. Unfortunately, they added 4,500 dollars a few weeks later just days before our trip. We have called them multiple times and they have said “don’t worry until after the trip” to us. It is hard to not worry about such a large unaffordable cost though. Also, the group we got paired with is EXTREMELY RUDE! When we were touring with a guide, they would talk over him about their friends or something irrelevant. Also, on the train, they told us to be quiet and wear headphones as some were trying to sleep, however, they talked so obnoxiously loud the entire time, unaware of their actions. After I talked to them about it and being respectful, they laughed in my face. VERY RUDE! Also, our tour guide is continuously rushing us everywhere and then we end up getting there with hours to spare and time that could have been spent exploring or seeing more. Such as when we left for the 2:30 train at 11. We waited in the station for over 2 hours after getting rushed out of London tower. Also, after a 7 hour plane ride (overnight) the next day we got no rest and the tour planned for us to walk 7.5-9 miles on less than 3 hours of rest and sleep. Overall it is not worth it to go with EF and most of us ended up disappointed. BOOK WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY ‼️‼️‼️
