Adriatic Odyssey Reviews

Overall the trip was beautiful however many experiences my daughter could not have due to poor planning/timing because EF placed the students in Rome on holy week and many experiences students were not allowed due to group restrictions, holy week traditions. They even told the students had they been present earlier in the week (as originally planned) they would have been able to see the sights (sistine chapel, st peters basilica, colloseum)

This tour is very fun and fast paced. You see a lot of historical sights. There is a long ferry ride and a bit of a hike, it’s full of interesting things to do and see!

Guides are knowledgeable and organized. Always felt safe. Experiences are top notch. Negative would be the 3 planes and horrible layover times to get there and back. I also feel there was too much bus travel time between places visited. Kids needed less travel time and more exploring and downtime.

My son recently embarked on a journey with EF Tours to explore the captivating landscapes and rich cultures of Greece and Italy, and I am delighted to share our overwhelmingly positive experience with the program. From the moment my son set foot on his adventure, it was evident that EF Tours had meticulously planned every aspect of the trip to ensure a seamless and enriching experience. The itinerary was packed with an array of breathtaking cultural and geographical sites, providing him with a comprehensive understanding of the history and beauty of these remarkable destinations. One of the most reassuring aspects of entrusting my son to EF Tours was the presence of experienced guides throughout the journey. Their expertise not only enhanced the educational value of the trip but also instilled a sense of security in me as a parent. Knowing that he was under the guidance of knowledgeable professionals allowed me to relax and fully appreciate the transformative experience he was undergoing. Overall, my son's adventure with EF Tours to Greece and Italy surpassed our expectations in every aspect. It not only broadened his horizons and deepened his appreciation for diverse cultures but also provided him with memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend EF Tours to any parent seeking a safe, educational, and unforgettable travel experience for their child.

It was a memorable experience rich in history. We felt safe and loved seeing the historical sites. The food provided was mostly satisfying. The accommodations were clean but tight for 3 to 4 individuals. Nevertheless, we were comfortable. We would recommend this experience again as long as it's in March. The weather was pleasant throughout the entire trip.

Good trip. The only downfall was the time spent on the boat from Italy to Greece. 20 hours was a long time which could have been spent in Greece.

Unfortunate and overcrowded

There were many excellent aspects of our EF Tour such as our Tour Director, our local guides and our cruise. We had very good meals and stayed at very good hotels. A few things could use attention such as the overnight cruise ship experience, some of the hotel locations and some of the meals provided by some of the hotels which we stayed in on some of the nights. I would actually given the rating of 4.5/5 if I could have.

Basic tour was great including sights seen, hotels, and transportation. Unfortunately Air Canada’s incompetence on the return trip caused great anxiety and delays getting home.

I would have given this trip 4.5 stars, but that wasn't an option. Overall, my kids and I really enjoyed our trip to Italy and Greece. The food was great and the sights were amazing. The Colosseum, trip to Florence, Greek evening, and day at the beach were some of our favorites. We also really enjoyed our tour guide - she had a lot of personality and really made the trip fun. My only critique is that the first day we got there, we had to do a 3-hour walking tour of Rome pretty much immediately after getting off a very long flight. I thought we would have more time to get settled, so I wasn't prepared for this at all. I would recommend giving people more time to adjust the first day to a new city. But overall, it was a very positive experience for all three of us. I would definitely consider taking another tour with EF in the future!

Verified

Long domestic layovers plus the expense of paying for the luggage on the domestic legs of the flights, forces me to give a 4 star. Otherwise my daughter had a great time and it was a great learning experience

Our EF Tour guide Andreas made this trip so memorable and fun! He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and so funny!!! We all actually felt sad when we had to say goodbye! We will never forget Andreas or how he made this trip the absolute best of my life!

Great trip. Amazing food in Greece. We loved the hotel in Athens and in Delphi. I would have liked a quick trip to the beach, since most people have a vision of the beautiful building and beaches, and we didn’t really see that. The time on the bus was reasonable. A quick 1-2 hour trip to put our feet in the sand would have been perfect.
