Solo Women Travelers, Please Avoid!!
I just completed the 35 day Ultimate Europe trip with my best friend and while it was amazing to see so many new places, I would not recommend this tour for young women traveling solo. The behavior of the tour director, who was a man in his 40s, was very inappropriate and made many of the young women we traveled with uncomfortable. He shared sexually explicit content with several of the women on the trip and made racially derogatory remarks. Had I not come on the trip with a travel companion I would not have been comfortable completing it by myself. I am uncertain of the process that EF utilizes to vet tour directors but he is not someone that should have been permitted to travel around the world with young women.
July 8th Update: The reply from EF to this review is disingenuous. My travel companion and I both left extensive information concerning these events in our tour evaluations and were never contacted by EF. The management at EF has been unresponsive and apparently uninterested in removing someone from their staff who is clearly a predator.
