Is It Common to Book a Trip Solo?

Updated:

Completely! In fact,  EF Ultimate Break encourage it. Around half of their travelers sign up alone, but none of them travel alone. You'll be making friends from all over the country and sharing experiences to remember for a lifetime. 

Traveling solo gives you the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, find a new side of yourself and see the world the way YOU want to see it. 

EF Ultimate Break will also set you up with a private Facebook group a few months prior to your trip, so you can connect with your future best friends before you even depart! The first night of your tour will have a welcome mixer (included in the price) that will give you the chance to have a couple drinks, break the ice and start your adventure right.

What is the Role Of My Tour Director?

Updated:

Your Tour Director is your on-tour travel aficionado and go-to expert for anything you might need. Basically, they're like a sherpa, except they have a sense of humor and don't carry all your stuff. 

They can't wait to greet you when you arrive at your first city, and will lead the group from start to finish of tour. They are responsible for overseeing daily logistics, reservations and more so that you can relax and have fun without sweating the details. Each of them is experienced in the industry and expertly trained. 

Moreover, the Tour Directors offer an enriching trip through their local perspective as they guide you in the places they love. They'll teach you about other cultures, how to get around, orient you on the best places to visit in the city and show you an awesome time!
