EF Tours booked hotels a great distance from central attractions to capitalize on low rates, which meant kids spent lots of time on busses to and from. The main benefit to EF Tours was the skip the line practice due to their connections, but the accommodations were less than ideal.

Great trip & guide Carlos!!
My daughter and I went on this trip together with her school district middle schoolers. It was a great trip, both educational and fun! Our EF tour director Mercedes was the absolute best! We will definitely use EF tours again!
Overall, had a great experience, except for this one bus driver who almost did not take us to the Eiffel Tower because it was too out of his schedule, but overall the trip was great and I would totally do it again and recommended, I would just like better bus driver, but I know that’s hard to find.
The most places we got to visit were beautiful. Company overbooked activities, we were constantly running. Two hours a day were wasted daily getting to/from hotel location. We got late to the hotel and got up early everyday, averaging 4-5 hrs sleep per day. Some of the tour buses were very old and outdated, not comfortable. Never want to do EF Tour again.

thank you
I attended with my 2 boys and it was a great experience. Got to see so much of Paris and Barcelona. Very fast paced and focused on learning. The optional excursion to Versailles Palace was well worth it. The various modes of transportation - planes, bullet train, tour buses, and metro added to the travel experience. The hotels were comfortable and we felt very safe. Our favorite parts were the river cruise to see the Eiffel Tower at night, the Louvre, the perfume museum in Paris, and free time exploring Barcelona. Be prepared to be on the move daily and carry water/change of clothes & any other comfort items in backpack. The EF tour guide was very sweet.
I was extremely disappointed with my experience with EF Tours. Our tour guide seemed constantly frazzled and disinterested, making it clear she'd rather not be with a group of kids. The amount paid did not match the quality of our lodging accommodations, which were subpar at best. Additionally, the restaurant choices were completely disconnected from the places we were visiting, and guests were not given any option to choose their meals. Overall, a very mediocre experience that did not meet expectations. After spending almost $11,000 on a trip with EF Tours for my son and I, I can confidently say I will never use this tour company again. It was painfully obvious that they cut corners wherever possible, prioritizing their profits over providing a quality experience for travelers. The minimal investment in our accommodations and the lack of consideration for our dining preferences made it clear that EF Tours was more interested in saving money than ensuring customer satisfaction. Save your money and find a tour company that values their customers' experiences.
Thorough tour with a good balance of site seeing and free time!
I attended with my two children. We did not expect it to be quite so fast-paced but we eventually got the hang of it. The EF tour guide squeezes a lot into the tour and tries to educate continuously. The hotels were quite nice and we felt safe at them (which is alway my #1 priority). The various planes, metro, high speed rail, and tour buses all add to the travel experience. By the end of the tour, many of the kids had bonded. The night time cruise to see the Eiffel Tower, the Paris perfume museum, the Louvre, and free time in Barcelona were my family's favorites.

It sounds like you had quite an adventure with your children on our tour! We're glad to hear that despite the fast pace, you were able to adapt and eventually enjoy the experience. Safety is indeed our top priority, and we're pleased to hear that you felt secure at the hotels. It's great to know that the various modes of transportation added to the travel experience. Creating opportunities for bonding among the kids is something we aim for, so we're thrilled to hear that many of them connected by the end of the tour. The night time cruise, Paris perfume museum, Louvre, and free time in Barcelona sound like wonderful highlights! Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for more adventures in the future!
My daughter enjoyed her first international trip!
The tour guide was amazing. The schedule was flexible and allowed for us on the tour to explore the cities on our own terms, as well as see the highlights with a knowledgeable guide.
This was a really fun tour with perfect sights!
My daughter had an amazing experience!
