Educational and Fulfilling Experience
Our Education First trip to Europe—Berlin, Prague, the Alps, and Paris—was truly an unforgettable experience. For many of our students, this was their first time traveling outside the United States: their first passports, first flights, and first opportunity to see the world in such a meaningful way. EF helped make that possible, and the impact on our students was tremendous. What made our experience great was the combination of organization, support, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Magdalena, our Experience Specialist, is fabulous! She kept me on track and reminded me to check things off my to-do list while I was busy with school and theatre. She was personable, efficient, and effective through every step of the travel preparation process. During our trip, our students were able to try new foods, see iconic structures, statues, museums, and works of art, hike in the Alps, visit historic cities, and take part in activities they will remember forever. When Jan, our Tour Director, organized a free-time activity to swim in Lake Lucerne, they all jumped at the opportunity. These experiences enriched them far beyond what can happen in a classroom. EF does an excellent job of providing a structured travel experience while still allowing students to feel the excitement of discovery. Our Tour Director helped keep us organized, offered wonderful suggestions during free time, and made even the long bus rides enjoyable. One of EF’s strengths is its ability to give students access to places and experiences they may never have imagined for themselves. Watching students try new things, gain confidence, and see the world from a broader perspective was incredibly rewarding. A constructive suggestion would be to continue finding ways to balance busy sightseeing schedules with adequate rest, especially during hot weather or long travel days. At times, it felt as though we were always in a hurry. Students and adults alike benefit from having a little breathing room to process what they are seeing and fully enjoy the moment. Overall, EF is doing many things very well: providing life-changing travel opportunities, strong organization, helpful communication, and memorable educational experiences. This trip was not just a vacation; it was a powerful learning experience that our students will carry with them for years to come.
Just a fantastic experience.
Beautiful scenery and great amount of history is provided by the tour director and tour guides.
It was amazing. A stress-free trip! Felt safe the entire trip. So much knowledge packed in a short 10 days!! Would book again! Can't wait til next trip
Great tour guide, Francesco. Francesco was very knowledgeable and provided so much valuable information on everywhere we went to include detailed facts on history. Everything was well planned and time management was top notch. Great experience overall. The transportation, bus, was very nice and the bus driver, Robert, was excellent. Robert was a safe and courteous driver who I would highly recommend. The hotels were better than what was advised we were to be staying in.
Fantastic fun and educational experience for students and families. Highly recommended
The tour to Europe was absolutely excellent, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking sights, rich history, and unforgettable experiences. Every detail was well-organized, from comfortable accommodations to seamless transportation, making travel stress-free. The knowledgeable guides and diverse itinerary made each destination come alive, leaving me inspired and eager to return.
Amazing sights, great travel accommodation s, food choices were questionable at times (quality vs cost), and memories galore. Definitely will go on another trip!!
Wonderful excursions, Tours, and sights
This was an amazing tour! There was something for everyone and I am so thankful that we chose this tour!
This was a great tour. So many amazing sights. Our tour guide Julia was amazing. She made so many great suggestions for extra things that we could do or how to spend free time. I would highly recommend this trip again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! It was great starting in Berlin and ending in Switzerland!
Overall, the tour was ok. There are three things that could have used some improvement. 1) Hotels - were average. The hotel in Switzerland had no air conditioning. This was rather disappointing based on what I spent on the overall trip. The other thing about the hotels was that they were normally 30-40 minutes outside the city. If the hotels were closer to the city center, we would have been able to tour some more. 2) Airline travel - I live in a hub city for a major airline and was rather disappointed when coming back to the US from Europe that this airline wasn't used. Instead, we used another airline (that was probably cheaper) and ended up being delayed a day due to weather. If this airline was used, we would have made it home, without issue and on time. If students are flying out of a major airline's hub city, use that airline if at all possible. 3) The food was just average. Based on what I paid for the trip I would have expected more. The bus driver and tour guide were great, as well as the historical landmarks that we saw.
Easy travel- accommodations were appropriate and clean. Would have liked more “free” time to explore and shop.
What a great learning experience for all adventurers! We laughed and cried, danced and sang all the way through! Katarina, our TD, was the best. She always was on top of things and made everyone felt wanted and listened to. Even our bus driver, Amarildo, was amazing! He took care of us an got us to all the places, even knew a place for a photo op on our way to Liechtenstein! I wish we had more time in Liechtenstein. All in all, it was a great adventure! I would have liked to have 2-3 hours of freetime instead of an hour to 1 1/2 hours. I can't wait to go on the next adventure on the Automotive Innovation in Germany and Italy tour in 2027!
What a great trip!
Nothing but great things to say about our experience. I will definitely be sending my other children on a trip with EF in the future.
Fun, exciting, educational, trip of a life time!
