The trip was only really a quick dip into the culture but everything was awesome!
An affordable trip to experience Ireland and Scotland in all their splendor!
This itinerary is a good mixture of seeing new places but not moving every day to a new hotel. It was the right amount of coach time. The history learned along the way was amazing! The food was great. The sites were phenomenal!
Not the young adult experience we expected. EF Tours employees were great; however, our group leader was very negative and controlling. My son is 18 and lost 9 lbs on the trip. He is 6'1" and came home weighing 151 lbs. Dinner was around 6pm every evening and most young men need to eat again before going to bed around 11pm to midnight. The group leader wouldn't let them get food even when there were restaurants immediately adjacent to the hotel. EF tours needs to vet the group leaders better as the trip was fun but she was very controlling and treated the young adults like much younger kids. The trip could have and should have been amazing! My niece traveled to Spain last year with a different group leader and her trip was amazing! My nephew and my son are confirmed on EF tours the next two years with this same group leader and we're considering cancelling due to this recent experience.
Guides were great
Great experience, can’t wait for more!
Crappy hotels some head mold, no heat no hot water. So very little of what Ireland and offer. We pass by one place multiple times in a day or two places for dinner. We’re out of the way.

We are very sorry to hear you did not have an excellent tour, Alysia. The hotels do not sound up to the the EF Tours standard for accommodations. Please update your review with the specific hotel names and we will be sure to pass it to our operations team to review. Thank you for your review.
The flight there was on a different plane than planned. I was never notified . My kid sat with strangers . It felt unorganized and insensitive. Wrote a letter . Never heard back

We are sorry to hear you did not have an excellent experience, Roxana. While we are unable to manage airline procedures, we do our best to keep the Group Leader up to date with any changes that may occur. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
I enjoyed my trip to Ireland and Scotland. We went to Dublin Belfast in Edinburgh, which I really enjoyed. I would have liked to have seen the countryside but we did not have time in the schedule to do that. Overall, I am very happy with a trip.

My son had an amazing trip, no problems, no issues. I’m so grateful for this experience that was available to my kids
Excellent trip! Jez, our tour guide was fantastic! Definitely recommend the trip!
This location was one of the most beautiful locations I've ever visited. The people of Ireland are some of the kindest people I have ever met. The history of both Scotland and Ireland is riveting and worth knowing. The connections that the EPIC Museum makes between the world of years ago to today are impressive and important. Scotland is so green and beautiful with a mystical history. I could just spend days trying to describe its beauty.
My son had a great time!
My child was stuck at the airport the day he was supposed to leave and then it took for ever to get in touch with someone who could actually help get them room for the night. They stayed there until almost midnight and finally got picked up for the hotel. Then there was time missed and because I didn’t pay for the insurance I didn’t get any money back!

We are sorry he had flight delays during his tour and hope he was able to enjoy the activities he participated in. Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the EF Tours family.
Great experience! Easy and safe way for our children to experience a different culture. The stories that were brought back were entertaining. What a gift!
Well organized and excellent communication. Would definitely recommend!
Felt well prepared, trip exceded expectations.
More than happy!!!! Thank you !!!! My daughter enjoyed it . Wonderful experience !!!!!
Everything went beautifully except the Edinborough street tour (our scheduled guide took the wrong group). Also, we didn't have much time to hike up to the William Wallace Monument. Planning by tour director was a liitle too crammed and we felt a pressured sometimes.
