“I have wanted to go to Ireland since I was a kid,” said traveler Brian after returning from our A Week in Ireland: Dublin, Cork & Galway tour. “At the age of 66 I finally said ‘it’s time.’ Not being the best at planning, well, anything, I was pleasantly surprised to be advised by a coworker about EF Go Ahead Tours. They literally planned everything, I just had to pick a tour and put a deposit down, then make payments, which was very convenient.”

When you book one of our limited-time Black Friday travel deals, you’re saving on your bucket list trips and giving your souvenir fund a boost! Treat yourself to colorful ceramics in Lisbon, handmade leather goods in Marrakech, or teak wares in Thailand. Since the best time to book travel for 2026 is right now, those mementos are closer than you think.

One of our travelers experienced this firsthand. “This trip was a 60th birthday trip that I gave myself,” they said about their time on our Grand Tour of Thailand: Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Phuket. “This trip exceeded my expectations. The group that I traveled with were exceptional, welcoming people. Nearly everyone on the trip purchased a large suitcase for their purchases at the night market. Very reasonable shopping. I look forward to my next EF tour. I purchased this one on a Black Friday deal and I hope to do the same for next year.”
