Seriously, thank you so much for this information. The reviews online are so all over the place and a lot of the KZbinrs who have posted reviews were sent on their trips by EF themselves and you just never know if their trip was enhanced for the purpose of them saying favorable things but seeing a review from someone just like me, not rich & not an influencer was SO HELPFUL. I’m planning on going to Rome, Paris & London in October! 😊

of course! I felt the same way when I first was looking at reviews years ago. But they really are an amazing company who give people like me a chance to travel young! If you book you can use my code to save $100 with the link in the description (it activates the code) After you’ve traveled with EF they give you opportunities like what I do by sharing it to other peeps. Rome and Paris and London sound amazing!! Especially in the fall

Thank you so much for this! 😭 I’ve been wanting to travel for as long as I can remember. I’m currently 23 and already lost 2 years of my early 20s to covid 🥲 I’ve been wanting to travel but had nobody to go with who was willing and I always got anxiety just thinking about the planning/booking of everything so I thought EF Ultimate was so perfect. I was so scared before of going on my own traveling with strangers but after this whole covid mess, I’m over my worries and just wanna live life! This video definitely helped cement my decision so thank you 😭❤️

Hey girl :) It really just depends on the trip itself! Like if you’re on an active Ireland one or if you’re on a chill low activity one. The site kind of has a rating for each trip :) But there’s always time for free time! Usually after your day activities you always get the evenings to yourself and to do whatever you want :)

The only thing I can say is if you fall on hard times or need to cancel your trip for any reason at all please be aware that they will not refund you a single penny. I lost $2185 to this company in 2018 because I had to move and needed to cancel my trip. They told me that the cancellation fees for canceling 50 days prior to the trip start date would be $2215 and claimed that they were charging me less than they should be for canceling and that I would not be able to receive a refund. Really sketchy seeing as I'm certain it would have been easy to replace me which they likely did, which would also mean that they pocketed all of my money and then some.

Ireland was beautiful and especially if you like history, castles, and beer! I didn’t like beer before this trip and now it’s changed my mind. It’s so beautiful. Costa Rica was also very fun though! Beautiful as well! So you can’t go wrong with either :) Please let me know if you book :D

@exelynnn2 жыл бұрын
Airports can be stressful sometimes! But it’s way easier than it seems :) You get to the airport, check in with your airline, get your boarding pass, and check your bags (the ones that go under the plane) with an attendant. They’ll take it and it’ll reach you at your end destination :) Then most airlines allow you to have a personal item (like a backpack that can fit under a seat) and a carry on (small small suitcase or duffel bag that can fit above your plan seat in a compartment) After you do that you walk to security/TSA. There’s signs everywhere telling you where to go next :) Through security you have to empty your pockets, take off shoes and jackets and put in bins that will scan through x ray system to make sure you don’t have weapons and such. Or any product bigger than 4 oz (so no big bottles of shampoo, lotion, etc. that can go in your CHECKED bad which is the one that goes under the plane) You walk through a scanner and then that’s it! You’re in the gates now. Now you just walk to the gate your boarding pass says it’s at and sit and wait :) until your flight boards! Always show up to the airport a couple of hours before your flight!

This is entirely biased given that you are an influencer for EF therefore your “review” is a masked and disguised technique to promote the tour to people seeking a genuine and honest feedback. Very cheeky ;)
@exelynnn10 ай бұрын
If you watched the video I say that I was an EF traveler and went on 3 trips with them over three years before they even had a program :) and during that time I would tell others about it. That was 2017-2020. Belize & Guatemala, NYE in Costa Rica and then NYE in Ireland I always give my honest opinion, which is why I said things like “if I’m being honest, I think EF needs to refine their itinerary more to include more of that pop culture, Japan stuff because if you don’t go out of your way and book your own separate excursions you may miss out, cuz it’s very history heavy. I explain that’s why I booked the Pokémon cafe, teamLab interactive museum, made a point to visit every Pokémon center in the big 3 cities, skipped an EF planned activity to visit the lucky cat shrine, Nintendo store, etc.” I would never promote a company I 1) do not use myself and 2) lie and say everything is perfect. I state the facts, my opinion on parts of the trip, provide feedback & show activities I did on the trip to help others plan their trip, and so on. So, whether you “believe me or not” my review is not “masked and altered or disguised” and IS filled with genuine honest feedback. And even if you yourself dont read or care for this comment, I hope others who had the same thought see it too. Have a good day :)
