This was my grandson's first trip by himself, except for EF guides of course. He had a great time. The hotels were great and his days were filled with great activities and places to go and things to do to keep him very busy.
One star because negativity stars is not an option. The EF tour guide did not take food allergies seriously despite multiple forms and conversations prior to the tour. She put my safety as risk repeatedly. The guide was also running to keep a timetable causing her to lose the group repeated despite being told she was losing folks and to slow down. She put my husband at risk of a health incident to keep up and run. The hotel was dirty and did not have the amenities we were promised and was no where near the city center. After only 1 day and the risk to our health and safety we left the tour.
Great experience overall, the step by step instructions leading up to the trip and the app during the trip made everything super easy to manage.
Wonderful but exhausting experience. Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide during our trip and the accommodations were what I expected. Wasn't prepared for the ultra quick pace at times and wished there was more time actually exploring locations instead of simply driving by. Balancing act by EF to accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. Just wish I had understood the nature of the tour a bit better before going to help manage expectations.
this was our first trip overseas to Europe and it left us wanting to return and further explore all Europe has to offer. highly recommended!
We had an amazing time on tour. It was wonderful seeing London and Paris with my students who had never been. So many highlights it is hard to pick just one but Mamma Mia in London was fantastic and the Eiffel Tower at night (we went off tour to stay later and took an Uber back) was two of our favorites. The perfume museum was sooo wonderful, kids loved it too!! I would definitely do this trip again but many stops were incredibly rushed and the description / itinerary mentioned places that we only drove by - I would have liked to have time to visit a few more places such as the Arc de Triumphe and take the Paris bus tour off the itinerary so that we could. That day three hours on the bus with a guide who wasn’t engaging middle schoolers well was extremely aggravating, on the other hand the London bus tour guide was amazing and the kids loved Alan!! We loved that the Tower of London was a self guided experience!! Chaperones turned it into a scavenger hunt during which we split up our kids into groups so that they interacted with others (broke up the buddies). This went better than expected and really helped our group mesh so much better.
The trip was very well organized. I was able to see some amazing sights and learn about the history. I wish we had more time at the Eiffel tower or had time to go to the top of it would have been great.
I did not ever think I would be able to send my child on a trip like this being a single parent. Paying over years was the way I accomplished it with EF Tours guidance the whole way. Informative and always there for our many questions. My child got to soak up culture in two places. I am not sure I will get this experience. I am grateful 🙏 for EF Tours to make it possible to send my kid.
I loved the experience. It was memorable.
Disappointed the hotel was so far out of the city.
My grandson and my trip to London and Paris was amazing. It was educational and the tour guides were both professional and knowledgeable. We both leaned a lot about London and Paris history. The museums and historical places we visited were phenomenal. The people were nice and welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.
It was good
This trip was great! The London itinerary was amazing. The Paris portion had a little too much time on the bus, but overall a fantastic experience. Our TD, Cande, was amazing!

We had an awesome chance to see the world with Educational Tours. The directors/guides went above and beyond to make sure students received an experience of a lifetime. Students ate local foods,were educated on the everyday experiences of the country visited,fun activities. They had a great time.
Wonderful experience in Paris; especially appreciated the unique activities and classes and shopping experiences. London portion was light on planned activities and experiences. Didn’t get to experience much in the way of the diverse culture with similar activities to Paris. Excellent meal planning throughout the trip.
Overnight flight and going straight into Activities was a Bit much on first day. Activities closer to the hotel on the first day instead of spending a long time Traveling in a couch on the first day and allowing time to recover in the afternoon/evening. Travel from London to Paris was smooth and Paris activities were great. London activities hindered due to heavy traffic due to Underground strike.
This was my first time participating in a trip of this kind, and unfortunately it turned out to be a complete disaster. The communication throughout the entire process was extremely poor. What was presented as a trip designed for kids ended up being a group of only eight students — and out of those eight, six were traveling with their families. That left only two children traveling alone, making it nearly impossible for them to truly enjoy an international experience under those circumstances. When I reached out for support, the experience was even worse. There was no real concern for the child or the family, no empathy, and no effort to offer a reasonable solution. The only thing that seemed to matter to the company was the money I had already paid — almost 100% of the total cost — with absolutely no options for reimbursement or even partial consideration. Overall, this was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this service to anyone.
A wonderful itinerary for Middle Schoolers. So many historical and interesting sites to visit and wonder about. Our Tour Director was super knowledgeable an dable to engage the students in engaging conversations.
