Ultimate Travel Guides

We’re the best way to travel for anyone 18–35, period. EF Ultimate Break is a guided group tour company built specifically for young adults who want to actually experience the world, not just scroll through it. We handle all the logistics (flights, hotels, tours, local guides, and more) so you can show up ready for the adventure. Think of us as your ultimate travel crew, minus the stress of planning it all yourself. 

Especially for you. A guided group tour is the move for first-time international travelers. We take the guesswork out of everything—where to go, how to get there, what to see, and yes, even what to eat. Whether you’re eyeing an Italy travel guide on Pinterest or just Googling “where should I travel in my 20s,” we’ve got a trip that’s going to blow your mind. No experience required. 

A lot. Like, a lot a lot. Most of our trips include international flights, centrally located hotels, a pro Tour Director, guided sightseeing, select meals, and entrance fees to major attractions. We also have a 24/7 support team and a travel app so you’re never left wondering what’s next. You just have to show up (and maybe pack a good pair of walking shoes). 

Here’s the thing: they won’t be strangers for long. Our trips bring together 18–35-year-olds from all over the U.S. who are there for the same reason you are, to travel, connect, and have the time of their lives. Solo travelers, friend groups, couples, everyone’s welcome, and everyone leaves with new friends. It’s a social group travel experience unlike anything else. We even have a Facebook community and in-app chat where you can meet your travel crew before you even board the plane. 

The world is your oyster. We’re talking Europe travel (hellooo Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, you name it), Latin America trips to Costa Rica, Asia, Africa, Australia, and beyond, African safaris, island hopping in Asia. Whether you’re looking for hidden gems or iconic bucket-list spots, we’ve got guided group tours to the best places to travel in your 20s. Can’t decide? Browse by travel style—beach, adventure, culture, food—and let the destination find you. 

That’s kind of our whole thing. By traveling in a group, you get access to better rates on accommodations, transport, and experiences than you’d ever score booking solo. And with our flexible payment plans, you can lock in your spot with a deposit and pay over time, so your dream trip doesn’t have to wait until you’ve “saved enough.” Affordable group travel for young adults? We wrote the book. 

Both are valid, but they’re very different vibes. True solo travel gives you total freedom but also total responsibility (hello, canceled flights). A guided group tour with us means you get the adventure and spontaneity of travel with a built-in support system, an expert Tour Director, and a ready-made group of travel friends. You still get to explore, try the local food, wander off the beaten path—you just don’t have to figure out the train schedule in a language you don’t speak. It’s the best of both worlds. 

A: There’s truly never a bad time to book, but if you’re dreaming of a summer trip, spots fill up fast (especially for Europe). Spring break trips are also hugely popular, so the earlier you plan, the better. As for how to start? Head to efultimatebreak.com and check out our trips.
