I traveled to Belize and Guatemala with EF Ultimate Break in the summer of 2017, and absolutely loved it! The company was recommended to me by a friend who also used them to travel through Europe the previous winter. Here’s why I would definitely travel with them again:

 

Minimal Travel Planning

Sometimes, I just want to take off on an adventure and not have to plan all the details. This is where EF comes in handy! The trips are already planned by experts, including your housing, transportation, and activities. They even book your flight for you from the nearest major airport!

 

EF Ultimate Break Isn’t Too Touristy

Yes, EF travelers will do touristy stuff. They are, after all, tourists. However, EF makes an effort to provide fun, sometimes out of the box activities. Groups are paired with hand-picked, local guides to help with the trip. Our guide knew Belize like the back of his hand, and took us to hidden treasures throughout the country!

You Get Free Time

Travelers with EF aren’t just shuttled back and forth between destinations for the entire duration of the trip. Almost every single trip includes a free day or two to explore a city or other destination at your own leisure. During my trip to Belize, we had most evenings to ourselves as well to do as we pleased, as our hikes and other excursions ended in the late afternoon.

One of my favorite memories from my EF trip is finding a hidden outdoor paintball arena in the mountains! I journeyed up to the site with a few other travelers using public transportation (old school busses) and in the bed of a pickup truck. Belize Jungle Paintball was such fun!

EF Ultimate Break Trips are Actually Worth the Price

Traveling with a group rather than planning everything on your own will typically cost more money. However, I feel that EF is definitely worth the price tag.

 

Flights are ALWAYS included. That’s a huge deal. Adding up the costs of nice hostels, local tour guides, nice transportation, excursions, and free breakfast, and you’ve got a great deal on the cost of the trip! The company is also CONSTANTLY running deals on their site, so you can almost always get a discount.

EF Ultimate Break is Always Adding New Trips

EF likes to change things up. New trips, specials, and deals keep everything fresh. Visiting their site will definitely give you major wanderlust!

A trip to remember!

 

Here’s a discount!

By using me as a reference, Stacia Mintner, when booking a trip with EF Ultimate Break, you will receive a $100 discount on a trip! This will normally be IN ADDITION to any deals they have going on. By using me as a reference, I also get a discount on a future trip. Maybe I’ll see you there!
