My son had an amazing time. The teachers from his school were GREAT! They really prepared the students and the parents and were amazing at communicating. My son really enjoyed the tour guides (including Lucy) and their incredible knowledge.

Tours, guides, bus driver - Great! Food and most of the Accommodations could use improvement.
Very Educational and Fun for Teenagers
Very expensive for what was provided. Accommodations were poor quality, flights were a mess. Major costs incurred to get my kid home after the entire group missed a critical, but frankly impossible, transfer in Chicago. Not worth the expense.
Saw some interesting ruins. I didn't like being forced to eat at a particular establishment for lunch, which was supposed to be "on our own". The food was anywhere from mediocre to terrible, and it would have been nice to have more time to explore independently or to have a little more down time to soak in the sights.
The Tour was great. Tour guides, leaders, locations and attractions were all great. Flights were not planned well. Should have booked flights where we could have picked our seats so people could sit together without causing a bunch of chaos on the plane. Same Airline for full roundtrip would have been good too. Hotels were ok. The beds were not the greatest and one of the hotels we did not have a shower. We had a bathroom with a small square area with faucet and a hose attachment, but no shower curtain. And that specific hotel, we stayed at for 3 nights. Not ideal when weather was hot and everyone was sweaty after we got back to the hotel.
This trip was a great mix of education and fun. Students learned a lot about modern Greece culture as well as the Greece of Antiquity. Tour Director Aristi was top notch. Was worried about time on the bus but it always seemed to be welcome rest after an adventure. Got to see so much and eat really good food. Could of done without a local guide at some of the museums as they got really in depth and personally like pursuing at museums, but they were great at all of the excavation and ruin sites.
Everything about our tour was amazing from start to finish. Antonis, our tour director, kept us informed, worked out compromises as needed, and made sure every experience we had was top notch. A truly memorable experience!
Per my child, the trip was amazing. Everything she got to see was an experience of the lifetime.
Dennis deserves a raise!!
Our daughter loved it. Had a great trip and will remember it always. The ruins.. beaches… towns and Crete were amazing. She said that their tour guide was really wonderful too!
As an EF Tours group leader, our epic trip to Greece was outstanding from start to finish. The pre-trip planning with the EF tour coordinator and trip specialist was seamless, ensuring every detail was perfectly organized. Our tour director was knowledgeable and engaging, while our bus driver provided safe and comfortable travel throughout the journey. The itinerary was well-balanced, covering breathtaking historical sites, stunning landscapes, and unique local experiences. The food was a highlight, offering authentic Greek flavors at every meal. Overall, EF Tours provided an unforgettable, enriching, and well-coordinated experience that I highly recommend.
This is a very comprehensive tour of mainland Greece. The Greek night, Cooking class and Delphi were some of our most loved spots.
Memorable, exhausting and incredible!
Everything was beautiful and wonderful and I loved every second of it! Our tour guide was amazing and our bus driver has amazing skills! The other school was so fun to connect with and I made friends and memories that'll last a lifetime. I can't wait to go on my next EF Tours to experience even more of the world!

Great & historic experience. I would've liked a little more personal time to explore on my own. Just let people know ahead of time there are no face towels in hotels & the showers are really small & some lack doors & curtains.
Beautiful views and lot of historic sites, great for the educational mind!
This is the 4th EF tour I’ve done as a teacher, and the first international trip for my son. We had a great time, as usual on these tours. It is definitely whirlwind, but the hotels were good and we had the opportunity to try local foods. I would caution those who are prone to carsickness, however. There were many destinations in the mountains, and the roads were very windy. Many in our group needed Dramamine.
Simply remarkable!
Our tour guide was top notch. We saw so much and her expertise was much needed. Some of the accommodations were lacking however. Lacking hot water, lacking comfortable beds, lacking helpful staff. Otherwise i would give it 5 stars.
