Terrific experience. Our Tour Director worked very hard to keep our group interested and engaged. Friendly bus drivers, Terrific ferry crossing. The trip was just beautiful, and our students are calling it the trip of a lifetime.

The trip was educational and the students enjoyed their time so much. This was our second time in Scotland/Ireland and we thought we knew what we were going to experience but, instead, we were treated to even more unique experiences.
Great tour. EF knows their stuff and takes care of everything and all the details. Group leader, tour director, local guides, and bus drivers were excellent.
Great choices of places for us to explore! So much fun
Great experience!
Travel is not rewarding for working. It’s education for living!!!!
A lot of room for improvement. Not worth the price.
My son had an amazing time. He wants to do another trip. Thanks for making this trip memorable for him.
We are very happy with the overall experience
We did the Ireland and Scotland tour with the Loch Ness "extension". During this trip we had two days where the tour guide said "we don't have a lot to do today" and he and the bus driver worked to find some things for us to do. For the money paid, I really don't feel like we should be hearing "we don't have a lot to do today". One of the days was the crossing from Belfast to Scotland by ferry. We were put up in a hotel the night before that was an hour in the wrong direction from the ferry dock, so we had to be on the bus by 5:30 am to get to the ferry in time, then we get to Scotland and get the "we don't have a lot to do today...just driving to Edenborough". OK, then why did we have to get up so early to catch the early ferry and did we really have to stay in a hotel so far from the ferry port? Similar situation the day before we left...leaving Oban and going back to Edenborough". Instead of having days where there was nothing to do, could the trip have been shortened by a day? Overall I was happy with the accommodations, but the place we stayed at the longest, EF'S main partner hotel in Stirling, was not really acceptable. Rotting base board in the bathroom, thermostat did not work, so we were too cold one night and too hot the next with no mechanism to fix it (room 204), room badly needed painting. Humorously, we were in a nicer room the day before our departure (multiple people in our party said this)...I guess they wanted us to leave with a good impression. EF- you should not be putting people in this hotel for the money you charge.
Had a great experience traveling with EF to Scotland and Ireland last week! Very organized, kid friendly traveling with amazing tour directors and knowledgeable local guides. The hotels and restaurants on this trip were top shelf! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Great history and beautiful countries
Empowering for students; hotel experience needs improvement.
I have a really good time
