When click on something, app turns cloudy and doesnt undo. Tried to reinstall, but not working ### 3/5 — App feature *2024-08-10, version 2024.8.7* I wish there was a place we could leave notes for ourselves, like if we book our own flights we can add a note for us in the itinerary, or on those free time days we can make notes of plans/other things we want to see ### 4/5 — Great app for great company *2024-07-24, version 2024.7.22* I’ve been on 2 EF trips. The app is great and necessary for getting ready for your trip. The chat is very fun and interactive. Only reason i give 4 stars instead of 5 is that it would be REALLY cool if you could browse trips on the app the way you do on the website. Otherwise it’s a 10/10 ### 3/5 — Italy *2024-07-06* This was a country that was on my bucket list. I’m glad I was able to check it off. There’s a lot of history and notes to keep track of. It may feel like a lot but if you’re into the history side of things than I recommend. It is a lot of walking but it’s nice to be able to stop and take pictures. Some people may have this on their bucket list and if your able to go, I suggest going. You’ll have your pros and cons but at the end of it, at least you can say you went and made memories. ### 5/5 — Greek Islands Tour 2024 *2024-05-27* My girlfriend and I did the Greek Islands tour this summer, and it was everything you would want and more. A 10/10 from start to finish. Our tour director, Christos, was exceptional. He ensured our tour went smoothly at every point, provided great recommendations and was a blast to be around the entire trip. If you’re thinking about booking, then just do it. You won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Simple interface, easy to use *2024-05-06, version 3.3.1* Thank you for making the design straightforward and stress-free for new travelers! ❤️ ### 4/5 — I’m happy at the moment but… *2024-04-30, version 3.3.0* Currently there is a bug that causes the app to freak out when I try opening the chat with my fellow travelers. Hopefully this gets fixed soon ### 5/5 — Italy Austria Germany Switzerland tour🚠🚠 *2024-04-25, version 3.3.0* That was the best time of my life. Dário is a great person, fun, attentive, friendly, he makes you feel good. I'm going to love taking another tour with you, and this only reflects on tour guide Dário. He is the best. Att, Raynara Napoli ### 3/5 — No sign up *2024-03-09, version 3.2.8* App opens but there is no option for me to create an account. It asks for my e-mail and tells me to log in but there is no create account feature. ### 5/5 — NYE 17 days Europe Road Trip *2024-01-11* My first Europe Trip and also the longest trip ever I took solo for myself and I am so happy I chose EF Ultimate break to show me a whole new world. First time celebrating NYE in Amsterdam. First time snowtubing in Swiss Alps. First time watching soccer in Roma. First time riding Gondola in Venice and many more first time… My tour director Alejandro did an amazing job to provide and support everything I need. He is friendly and knowledgeable so I highly recommend him for your next trip. ### 5/5 — New Years Tour *2024-01-06, version 3.2.8* This was my first time traveling internationally, so I was pretty scared to take this opportunity. I’m glad I took this because it was filled with so many beautiful and silly memories. It’s difficult to find the words to describe how I felt during this trip. All I have to say is my heart was very grateful on every aspect of this trip. My tour director was Dario: he’s such an amazing and caring person. My rating for this trip is 100/100. ### 5/5 — Ef Italy - Venice,Florence, and rome *2024-01-05, version 3.2.8* This was an amazing trip all around, good people, good food, good sites. Our guide Dario was the most amazing guide. He has the best energy and always kept the mood fun and energetic. I highly recommend him as a guide. He showed us all the great places to go and made the trip so much more enjoyable. 10/10 recommend!! ### 5/5 — Venice, Florence, and Rome NYE Trip *2024-01-04* I had a great time on the Venice, Florence, and Rome NYE trip! Dario was an amazing and accommodating tour guide who made sure we had everything we needed to have an enriching and fun trip. EF was very easy to work with and I was quickly able to book the trip even though I booked it on the later side. I had 0 problems booking this trip or during the trip and I would definitely go on an EF trip again! ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-11-23* It’s a great app and makes traveling so much easier in regards to your tour. Although I think the app should ave the feature to look and book new trips instead of going to the website (unless I’m missing it) altogether it’s easy to use and can’t wait for more trips with you guys! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App update *2025-11-12, version 2025.11.7* Just wanted to say, hate the new app color, bring back the purple! ### 1/5 — Good trips but bad company *2025-11-11, version 2025.11.7* They offer pretty well rounded trips however they will rob you at any chance they get. Fees, fees, fees, for days! And also the tour directors somehow always have an “in” with the locals and show you the spots that hey claim are legit. Almost every time they are not the tour directors are almost always in on the con and will gladly lead you somewhere to pay big bucks for something that’s either fake or just as bad quality as what you’d find on the streets ### 1/5 — Bugged profile section *2025-07-27, version 2025.7.18* I don’t know why EVERY SINGLE PHOTO i try to upload for my bio photo has been rejected per the nonexistent “community guidelines” but I guess my travel group won’t be recognizing me at the airport any time soon. ### 1/5 — Not working since latest update *2025-05-31* Was working great and would have given it 5 stars, however in the last week nothing is visible. Can’t access tours, personal information, nothing. Even after deleting and reinstalling it. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — App Keeps Crashing *2024-10-11, version 2024.9.25* Replying to a message crashed the app ### 1/5 — Okay… *2023-07-03, version 3.2.0* Well I got this app because I wanted to start traveling more and I have had friends to use this app but I can’t even access the app because it won’t load in. It’s been loading for literally two days. Over. It. ### 1/5 — Just make a WhatsApp *2023-06-30, version 3.2.0* I would definitely recommend EF Ultimate Break for trips abroad, especially for countries outside of Europe. However, on my most recent trip we used the chat feature on the app and it’s horrendous. You’ll see messages on the Lock Screen but when trying to view them and respond in the app nothing loads. We used to use WhatsApp for trips and that is much better for messaging. ### 1/5 — The app needs work *2023-05-31, version 3.0.0* The app was working fine and then it “updated” and no longer works. ### 1/5 — Chat update is not good *2023-05-31, version 3.0.0* Newest version doesn’t show you who all is going on your trip, only the people who have interacted in the chat. It doesn’t even show you the amount of people in your tour group. There was already an option to hide your profile from fellow travelers (which hides your picture and travel stats but not your name), so why not just make that the default setting for all profiles unless the traveler opts in to adding a photo and sharing stats? Being able to see the list of first names from past trips has been helpful when looking at photos and remembering events. The updated version of the chat now makes it even harder for all travelers to interact - especially the shy people. ### 1/5 — Don’t let them rob you *2023-05-29, version 2.4.1* You’ll have no idea where your money is going - all of the hotels, flights, and accommodations are cheap and terrible. I could have easily done this trip by myself, and for cheaper to. You’re better off traveling solo…otherwise you risk having a worse experience ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Europe trip 🥨 *2025-10-23* This trip exceeded my expectations! Everything was soo organized & detailed to the last thing. I seriously have no complaints. And part of that is a big thank you to Georgia because she was the best on answering every questions we had & her patient was amazing! Couldn’t had ask for a better guide. I hope my next trip with EF i get her again or someone close to her work, she rock! 🥨🩷 ### 5/5 — Best way to travel *2025-07-31, version 2025.7.18* Very easy for first time travelers ### 5/5 — Greek Islands Plus *2025-05-20* Had the absolute best time of my life with 26 strangers who became family in just 10 quick days. Yorgos was an amazing tour guide. Always there to help no matter the hour with a plethora of information and knowledge. Every excursion was worth it in my opinion. All the food and beverages were delicious. There was a stunning view almost everywhere you looked. You can pretty turn off your brain and just enjoy the experience with EF. Too many good things to say. Book the trip. Book the trip right now. ### 5/5 — Greek islands with Andreas! *2025-05-20* This was my first EF Ultimate Break trip, and I couldn’t say enough good things about it! There was enough planned to make it feel like we made the most of our time, but we also had enough free time/down time to keep it from feeling like too rigid of a schedule. Andreas is truly a tour guide from Heaven. He was so kind and funny. He always had amazing recommendations for us and even planned some “family dinners” for us to have together outside of the original EF schedule. I’ll remember this trip and Andreas forever! ### 5/5 — Costa Rica Nov 2024 *2024-11-23, version 2024.11.18* My second trip with EF & all I could say is I will book again! My expectations were beyond met. Our tour guide Irene and transportation Johnny were the bestttttt. Very thorough and made everyone feel welcomed. Each day was filled with excitement and long lasting memories. Pura Vida!! ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Rome, Amalfi Coast, & Greece August 2024 *2024-08-30* Gigi was the absolute BEST tour guide I could have asked for. We were able to pack so many activities into each day. This was my first EF trip and I was not sure how to navigate everything at first but he was always there if we needed help. We learned how to use many different modes of transportation, sample countless new foods, & see every possible monument in just 10 days. I thoroughly enjoyed all of Gigi’s recommendations for food, free time, safety, etc. You can tell he is well traveled and extremely knowledgeable! Everyone else was kind and inviting for the most part. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to explore with! I am looking into booking my next trip asap! ((: ### 5/5 — Rome,Italy,Greece EF Tour *2024-08-01, version 2024.7.30* I absolutely loved Alex she did absolutely amazing she deserves so much for doing such an amazing job. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Highlights of Eastern Europe plus *2024-07-28* Antonis was the absolute best guide! He prepared everything for us and made sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see hidden gems and to learn about the history of Central Europe. I had one of the best experiences of my life and would go on this tour again. The hotels were amazing and all of the food was perfect. ### 5/5 — Tour director *2024-07-27, version 2024.7.25* Alex is one of the kindest, funnest and realest tour directors I’ve ever had! She makes sure that things are getting done while also ensuring that you have a great time. ### 5/5 — ALEX IS AMAZING *2024-07-26, version 2024.7.22* Alexandria deserves a raise point plank and simple. She goes above and beyond to make everyone comfortable and has outstanding service. She has made such an impact on my life and I will be seeing her again. EF, You should be very proud and grateful for having such an amazing human being apart of your organization. To Alex, Thank you for all that you do love. I’m wishing you all the best 🫶🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
