Default EF tours???

Whats up guys, has n e one been on an EF tour? im going backpacking for a week before my 2 week tour. EF has an option that u pay 45 dollars and you leave up to 3 months before ur trip and go wherever u want. We are flying into amsterdam and doing a few cities in the netherlands before our friends fly into amsterdam a week later. We meet up with them then start our guided tour. The only thing i dont like about these tour things is that they give u a set schedule, we'll see if i stick with them it sounds too structured for my taste.

If n e one knows n e thing about EF tours let me know please.

I went on an EF tour in 2000. I went with my French class and we rode on a bus with other people but we did our own thing. Because we were with our class, I can't really speak for the structure of the tour. We seemed to have a lot of freedom but I don't know if it would have been like that if our teacher wasn't there (since we were a bunch of American high school kids). I did have a great time and it was a good opportunity to speak the language.

Sorry if this doesn't help!

Thanks it did help, hopefully my trip will be somewhat similar to yours in the fact that we could basically do w.e we want. Everyone on the trip is 20+ years old so i dont think they would treat us like if we were in highschool. thanks alot Delaney
