What participants have to say…
I would love to travel with
EF again! I felt that our
group was very well cared
for and I felt a great deal of
reassurance knowing that I
had so much support from
the organization and from
the knowledgeable people,
It takes a lot of stress out of
a trip having so much done
for me and the group. I
can’t tell you how much I
appreciate all that you and
your crew have done for us.
Sheryl Deimert, Teacher
Grand Prairie Composite High
School
Grand Prairie, Alberta
The most memorable part of my
high school for me was my EF tour.
Going away with my peers to a
foreign country opened my eyes to
different cultures and societies and
gave me an entirely different
perspective on life back home.
Jamie Ciardullo, Student Traveller
Coquitlam, British Columbia
Travelling with EF was a life changing
experience for our son. He loved
seeing the way other people lived, the
buildings and the scenery. So many
wonderful firsts. We have sent all three
of our children to Europe with EF, and
it’s brought our family closer together.
