EF Ultimate BreakReviews of efultimatebreak.com

I went on a trip and had purchased their insurance plan to ensure I was covered in case of any emergency. I ended up having a medical emergency and was hospitalized in Sicily and missed part of the trip, including an excursion that I paid extra for. I filed a claim exactly how EF told me to do. I was barely reimbursed for my medical expenses. They said they would reimburse me for my missed time, missed excursion as well as over $100 taxi rides I had to take from the hospital and they never reimbursed me, instead, they closed my case and completely ghosted me. I have been following up for months and have not received reimbursement. I am extremely disappointed in how they handled this situation, it has been showing a lack of care for their customers.

I have done 3 trips! And I got a few more planes out! I love the communication,communication is super important for me. Every time I’m on a trip I always have an amazing time, would like more Central America or Asia countries added but over all the team is very helpful , the trip leader are helpful and friendly. Never had an issue with the staff and trip leader.

I loved traveling with EF! They handled every detail and planned an amazing, adventure packed trip for me where all I had to worry about was what to wear! I chose a plus itinerary and had EF book my flights, and the flights were great, with layovers that had plenty of time to make my next flight without leaving me in the airport endlessly. The hotels were mostly amazing, only one that was a bit too far from everything. And even that wasn’t exactly a bad hotel. The activities were fun and helped us explore more of the local culture, while providing great photo opportunities. Any issues on the trip were immediately handled by our wonderful tour director, who made the whole trip a breeze! It was a great mix of planned tours and activities to help us get the most of our experience with plenty of free time to do whatever we wanted to.

Fun-packed schedules and good hostels. Not luxury, but perfect for budget travelers.

Fun, energetic vibe. Great for first-time travellers, but expected a packed itinerary.

I paid the cost of my trip ages ago, but now it says there is $220 few past due. Nothing says what it is for. I tried contacting them and they said it's just the cost of the trip. Awfully messed up of them to add fees and not tell me.

I just completed the 35 day Ultimate Europe trip with my best friend and while it was amazing to see so many new places, I would not recommend this tour for young women traveling solo. The behavior of the tour director, who was a man in his 40s, was very inappropriate and made many of the young women we traveled with uncomfortable. He shared sexually explicit content with several of the women on the trip and made racially derogatory remarks. Had I not come on the trip with a travel companion I would not have been comfortable completing it by myself. I am uncertain of the process that EF utilizes to vet tour directors but he is not someone that should have been permitted to travel around the world with young women. July 8th Update: The reply from EF to this review is disingenuous. My travel companion and I both left extensive information concerning these events in our tour evaluations and were never contacted by EF. The management at EF has been unresponsive and apparently uninterested in removing someone from their staff who is clearly a predator.

I really liked the experience both times I've used EF, once for Ireland and another for Greece. I was fortunate to have amazing tour guides Diarmuid and Greig who helped balance learning new things about the countries and having fun. EF definitely isn't for everyone, it packs a lot of travel into a short period of time which isn't ideal if you are going on vacation to relax and take things slow. EF does amazing job at keeping everyday filled with things so I don't have to do the research myself. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants fast pace adventure and exploring new things.
