More Variety In Food!!
I just came back from our Rome to Athens tour and the variety in food was lacking. All we had is pasta and pizza for lunch and dinner with bread for breakfast. We were also promised that in Greece their would be nothing but greek food however we still only ate pasta and pizza.

It’s sounds like you had a negative experience with the meals on your tour. I’m sorry to hear that. We are continually striving to improve the meals on our tours, but it’s always a balance to satisfy the various needs and palates of such large groups.
We appreciate your comments here, and we would be interested to hear more feedback about the restaurants you visited. I encourage you to call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-665-5364 so that we can address those specific concerns and continue to improve our meals. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion and the comments. We do find that backpacks are well suited for student travelers on an educational tour, but we will consider the advantages of EF T-shirts.

Offer language materials for foreign tours.
It would be great if you could partner with Rosetta Stone or another language training program to offer online lessons or materials that would help learn some of the basics before we travel.

Dinner Vouchers
Dinner vouchers would allow for more choices. If you arrange for a handful of restaurants to accept them, travelers could enjoy more local cuisine and businesses could benefit from the sales.

Organization
I think it would've been very helpful if each student had a card or map with meeting times and locations for the whole day on it. Also sponsors need to make sure kids can READ A MAP! I believe this would cut down on seperation and people getting lost. Also, it helps when all students have their cell phones. I believe this would ultimately reduces drama and animosity, which makes for a better trip. There is no worst feeling than being lost in a foreign country.

Ability to seach for tours based on subject or theme
It would be really helpful if I could search for tours based on a subject or a topic. For example English Literature or History.

Travel at different times of day rather than during daylight
Tours doing a good bit of traveling should leave early in the morning or at some other time unstead of traveling 12 hourss in the middle of the day. Tours should use thir time wisely and not waste daylight sitting on a bus.

be willing to spend more money on food
The food we ate on the trip I went on to Italy was good...for about the first 3 days, then it all tasted the same, and cheap at that! When we had the freedom to pick our food, we got good filling food that didn't seem like it cost that much. I mean, I would be willing to spend a little more money if we got better food.

Have the ability to exchange stipends for global reward points
Give group leaders the choice to exchange a stipend or an amount of a stipend for global rewards. We have a choice of cash or global reward points for referrals. It could be a tax advantage as well. For example: taxes on a $700 stipend will be approximately $200. Points could help avoid any taxes at all.
