10/10 Experience

I have taken 3 trips through EF Ultimate Break and already have my 4th one booked! This is the best way to see amazing places without having to do any of the stressful booking & planning (and it’s affordable too). 10/10 recommend traveling through EF!!!

Perfect company for Autists who want to travel!

I’ve taken 3 trips so far and have 3 more booked! EF opened up my world to so many experiences I didn’t think I would get to have. As an autistic woman, it is difficult enough to make friends, but finding friends who want to travel AND organizing a trip that’s feasible, affordable, and not overwhelming/overstimulating sounded pretty much impossible to me. EF makes it not just doable, but easy!

Would recommend

I recently took a trip with EF Ultimate Break, and it was truly a life-changing experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, stress-free, and full of adventure. The itinerary was perfectly balanced between must-see landmarks, cultural experiences, and free time to explore on my own.

Onto the next adventure

I’ve been on five tours with EF Ultimate Break, and each one has been an incredible experience. Before my first trip, I was nervous about traveling solo, but EF made it so easy and fun that I’ve continued to book trip after trip. The group tour aspect makes traveling feel safe and structured while still giving plenty of free time to explore. It’s also been a great way to meet new people—I’ve made so many friends on these trips, and there’s always someone ready to go on an adventure with you.

One of my favorite things about EF is the flexibility. Their zero-interest payment plans make travel so much more accessible, and their wide variety of destinations means I always have new options to choose from. Whether it’s a bucket-list destination or somewhere unexpected, EF has opened up so many travel opportunities for me.

If you’re thinking about booking a trip but are nervous about going solo, don’t be! It’s an amazing experience, and I can’t wait for my next adventure with EF Ultimate Break.

12 trips and counting

I have gone on 12 trips through EF Ultimate Break and I can honestly say every trip has been amazing and full of memories I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. It not only gave me the ability to travel solo as a women to places I’d never want to do on my own, but it’s given me life long friends. I can’t recommend EF enough.

Traveling Will Change Your Mindset!

I remember wanting to travel with EF with my friends, but unfortunately any of them couldn’t. I decided to travel alone since it was something I always wanted to do. If you don’t have anyone to go with, just go on your own!!! You will make a lot of friends and cool experiences on your own that you never imagine of doing. Traveling alone made me more overcome on my projects. Great experience ever!!

10/10 Experience from EF Ultimate Break

The communication, intentionality, and planning provided by the EF Ultimate Break team was out of this world. I was put at ease and able to be fully present n my travels because of their organization and execution of tasks.

Can’t get enough!!

I have traveled with EF 5 times now, to 3 continents and 12 countries. I can’t recommend EFUB more!! The TDs made me feel so safe and always provided me with everything and more. EFUB makes it so so easy to travel that I can’t stop booking with them and don’t see myself stopping until the day I turn 35.

I've been on 10 tours with EFUB

I've been on 10 tours with EFUB. I've meet so many awesome people. The tour guides they hire are so fun and know so much about the cities, from history, fun things to do, bars and restaurants. They do all the planning for you which is nice for a first time in an unknown place.

I LOVE EF Ultimate Break!

I’ve been on 10+ trips with EF Ultimate Break and will continue traveling with them for 10 more years (until I age out!) I work alone from home, so the age range makes it perfect for me to actually get the chance to interact with and make friends across the country! Additionally, as someone who is normally the planner for everyone else, it is so nice to go on a trip where I don’t have to worry about a thing. My top 2 trip recs would be Egypt: Cruise the Nile and Brazil & Argentina!!

It was a great trip to Eastern Europe

It was a great trip to Eastern Europe. I felt very safe traveling with a group and it was so nice to not stress about transportation. They were able to accommodate my
Dietary needs (allergies to eggs and dairy) which put me at ease.

EF Changed My Life

I went to Peru and Spain with EF Ultimate Break and genuinely had the best time ever. I just booked Egypt & Jordan and will continue to book with them in the future. The tour guides are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They do their best to maximize everything you get out of the trips. I have found that this is my easiest way to solo travel. You just book, and go! Cannot recommend this company enough.

Once in a lifetime experiences!

EF Ultimate Break is the reason I travel! When I travel with them, I know I can count on having an amazing, stress free trip. I have been on 10 trips and have accomplished so many once in a lifetime experiences. Tour directors go above and beyond every trip to ensure their travelers have the most unforgettable trip!
