We had a great time. This was done at an enjoyable, but relaxed pace. Everyone made so many positive memories.

Do your research prior to booking with EF. They don’t care about your safety, they only care about maximizing their profits. I would never trust my child with these people, ever.

The tour was ok. We could have seen a big more of France.

I have mixed emotions. I have three children, one of whom went to France, and the other two will go to China next year. My son, who went to France, had to stay one more day, which ruined many of his plans. As a single mom and the only one paying for these trips, I struggle with these changes. Also, I had to take off one of my children on the trip to China for family reasons, and EF kept $585 dollars. Although the travel opportunity is excellent, it would have been cheaper to go on a trip alone with my children.

Our tour guide made the trip. It was non stop from the beginning and we definitely got our moneys worth. I would do it all over again if I could have the same guide and group. The hotels were the bare minimum but it’s just a place to shower and sleep. I still can’t believe everything we did. This was my first trip abroad with my son and I’m so glad I went.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It was great to see a bunch of landmarks and museums! The not-so-great was having to share a tour guide with 4 other groups. We couldn't hear and it was very distracting. Also, the hotels were not that great and our "meals" for breakfast & dinner was also not great.

The trip for my daughter was amazing and she had a great time. BUT I will warn any parent that if anything goes wrong and a claim needs to be filed…know the lack of concern, commitment and speed is extremely disappointing and ridiculous. I filed a claim for a disruption on day 1 where everyone wasted the day in airports or train stations. Claim was filed early July and I FINALLY received a refund in February!!! Unacceptable!! EF tours was always highly recommended and nothing but good things were every said…but I think that’s only true IF there are no issues while traveling.

Wonderful time!

I sent both my sons on the French trip and they had an amazing time! They learned so much and got to see things I've only dreamed about!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

They fit a lot into 7 days! Note that it is marketed as a 9-day trip, but two of the days are full travel days. Even so, we saw so much that my head was spinning. EF really does focus on education so you're learning the entire time, but the pace seemed rushed. That might have been due to adding the Versailles excursion. The food was the main disappointment. Our one hotel with a restaurant provided nice, well rounded dinners, but when we ate dinners out at the prearranged restaurants the meals were meat, potatoes, and bread. Everyone was served the same meal--it would have been nice to have a choice between two entrees (even the airline does this). I also wish the French language would have been incorporated into the tour; however, I understand that the other group we were paired with didn't study French. The hotels were basic, but that's to be expected. The breakfasts were delicious and filling. Given the opportunity, I'd travel with EF again.
