"I’ve been traveling with EF Ultimate Break since 2018 and could not recommend it enough! Thanks to EF, I have been able to see 26 different countries over 9 different trips and will get to cross 2 more off on trip number 10 this summer! Not only has EF given me the ability to see the world and experience new things and places, it has also introduced me to some of the best friends in the world! Traveling solo doesn’t have to mean traveling alone and EF makes that happen. I would highly recommend using EF to book your next travels!"

What travelers are saying

"I am writing on behalf of 20 passengers who sailed aboard the vessel EROS, under the co,mmand of Captain Georgios Paraskevas, during our trip in Greece from August 10-17, which commenced in Corfu. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by several significant technical difficulties that severely impacted our journey. Firstly, we encountered a malfunction with the anchor system, along with an issue beneath the vessel that led to an entire day being lost while waiting for a spare part to be replaced. Additionally, there was a persistent and strong smell of gasoline in the rooms throughout the trip, which we found to be extremely dangerous and unsettling. This issue greatly affected the comfort and safety of the passengers. The cooling system also failed to function, forcing many passengers to sleep on the deck in discomfort. Furthermore, it became apparent that the captain lacked the necessary skills to operate the vessel effectively, as it was primarily managed by the Egyptian crew, who appeared to be guiding the captain in performing essential tasks. This was both obvious and quite alarming to all on board. In summary, we are relieved that the trip concluded without any serious incidents, but we remain concerned about the overall safety and operation of the vessel. Therefore, I would like to inquire if the EROS is fully licensed and regularly inspected in accordance with Greek and EU standards prior to being leased out. Please provide a detailed response regarding this matterAdditionally, several other issues arose during the trip that were not mentioned in our initial email. These include: Persistent and significant flooding of the bathroom floors and leakage of the sewage water making the bathroom usage difficult, exposing us to potential waterborne diseases and extremely unpleasant smell in the cabins and throughout the hallway. A near collision with another sailing boat Collisions with boat during passenger transfers to the beach ( AntiPaxos) An incident at Lefkada beach, where a lifeguard called the police to protest our boat’s disembarkation (Lefkada) Frequent turn offs of the air conditioning along with gas infused fumes and extremely unpleasant sewage smells were forcing passengers to sleep on the deck outside. Even the ships that were docked alongside our ship were complaining about our exhaust fumes (Nidri)."

"Our 8th OU tour was to Switzerland. We visited many sites in Switzerland, Austria and also a quick stop in Germany. O.U. takes all the stress away by using outstanding Tour Directors who handle everything. Our T. D. Kiara was fantastic! She worked flawlessly throughout the tour, even when we were stuck in Zermatt after a flood. I highly recommend O.U."

What travelers are saying

"Dimitris was everything we could have looked for in a travel agent. Following the parameters we laid out for him, he provided us with the absolute best options for our travels. He was both honest and patient with us, and made sure we took as much time as we needed to finalize a trip that felt right for our group. Dimitris informed us on everything that was going on throughout our booking and travel process, so there were no surprises along the way. He answered every question we had and made sure we were prepared when we arrived in Athens. Andreas went above and beyond in his role as our skipper for the week. He was patient and thoughtful with our group, and put so much effort into making sure we had the best trip possible. We felt very safe and protected throughout all of our travels, and were taken to some of the most incredible place – places that weren’t even on our initial itinerary. Andreas’ expertise in his craft and his companionate demeanor are the reasons our trip was as fantastic as it was. He exceeded all of our expectations and genuinely made this trip one of the best of our lives. Thank you, Dimitris and Andreas, for giving us a week we will never forget! We can honestly say we would not have had the same experience if it wasn't for all of your help and consideration."
