I'm delighted that Ann had a good experience on her "once in a
lifetime" tour to Italy. I've toured with EF in Italy and it
took only one trip to know why I will never use them again.
Frequent travelers will quickly understand that EF does not
deliver the best they could. Cutting corners and delivering
less than they promise is routine. Planning a trip and
insuring that students get their monty's worth is more
complicated than just going on a tour for the first time. I
will NEVER use EF again. From assistance in planning to
customer service for my students, EF is on the bottom of the
list. I take students to Europe every summer. If you want a
good trip at a remarkable prices, contact Adventures Abroad!
Forget about EF!!
