Educational Opportunities Tours

Good service

My first day on the tour for Isreal and we have been sitting in the bus for 2 hours waiting for the last part of the group to fly in. Wish they drop us of at our destination and made a second trip back. Skipped lunch because we're stuck at the airport and now wondering if we're going to be able to eat dinner tonight.

Could not have been better! The staff was professional, and very helpful. Easy to work with.

My husband & I have taken two trips using EO, one in 2018 and again in January, 2020. My experience has been:nPro: All arrangements and connections are taken care of including being picked up at airport by EO representative. Mostly, accommodations were pleasant and the food was good. On both occasions in Egypt we had an outstanding guide who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Bus drivers are friendly and, wow, they can drive and park in tight spots. EO provides security on the bus with a guard, and also traveling to Mt. Sinai several soldiers accompanied us. EO takes security seriously. If you’re going to the Middle East, it’s better to go in a group with a company that can get you out, if necessary.nnCon: (January, 2020). Including layovers and air time our return trip took 54 hours. There was a change in airlines in both directions. Checked our luggage in Pittsburgh with Delta & at JFK was required to pick up luggage and go through security again, check in with Lufthansa & do the same in reverse upon returning. In Israel our guide was very knowledgeable; he was also unapproachable, condescending and dismissive. In both Israel and Egypt the bus stops at certain EO approved stores to shop, and not to shop anywhere else because that was “junk”. Later learned that EO, guides and even bus drivers take a percentage of the sales from the approved store.nnAll in all, EO gets the job done. We saw some amazing places, met good people, learned a lot and got home safely.

They take excellent care of everyone who travels with them. The hotels are always good and their guides are very knowledgeable.
