"This was an amazing tour with beautiful scenery, an outstanding tour guide, and stimulating activities. There was only one hotel that was less than expected, and the overall cuisine was good. Particularly the seafood, wine, and gelato were "to die for." There was a reasonable amount of free time provided. I liked that not too many sit-down meals were part of the itinerary but wonder if vouchers could be sometimes provided when in the city centers."
"Just about everything was great with the exception of the Hotel locations. I feel that they were pretty far away from the main attractions so you had to taxi everywhere but with that said, taxis were reasonable and fairly easy to find.
Loved our tour guide. He was a great teacher and very easy to talk to. Food was good at our dinners.
I would probably use them again because overall they were very organized. We did have issues with the airline reservation people but it all came out fine. Make sure you check and recheck everything about the flights."
"I went to Barcelona with Go Ahead Tours in October 2015 for a six day tour. This was my first time travelling alone and first tour and so I was quite apprehensive. However, once I landed and saw the green sign, I was felt that I had made the right choice. Everyone in the car was quiet initially, but once we arrived at the hotel, all that changed. The hotel was beautiful and then meeting our tour guide, Lourdes, put all of us at ease. She was so personable that we all started talking to one another and so soon I had made friends. The rest of the tour was lovely. I went on all of the excursions save for one and had the best time!! Everyone got along well. I had not complaints and am still in touch with a few people from the tour. We hope to tour again with Go Ahead Tours soon and certainly to return in 2016 when La Sagrada Familia will be completed!!!"
"My tour with Go Ahead was just as wonderful as I expected it to be. Our tour director was great. He was very personable and knowledgeable. I had a great time and would highly recommend Go Ahead to my friends and family."
"Go Ahead made for a worry free trip. They thought of everything!"
"We enjoyed our tour, the accommodations and especially liked staying in one location for 2 to 3 days and doing hikes and touring. Our guide, Andrea, was very kind and helpful for all of us. He also had a relaxed way about him and made sure that the needs of the group were met. We would have liked a bit more historical information about the areas where we were traveling on the bus, but he did answer the questions we had. We also liked having free time and not having all our time planned. The tour itself was fantastic, we loved the lakes area, Dolomites, Lucca, our side trip to Verona and Florence!!"
"We had a great time! Simon is an EXCELLENT guide. The only negative feedback is that the hotel in Queenstown is VERY RUN DOWN. The breakfast ran out of food more than once and the bathroom was scary. The Melbourne hotel was OK except for the elevators not working. That caused a lot of issues with timing to get to the bus. The excursions were fun, but the optionals seemed quite expensive for what we actually did. Overall, we were happy with the trip, but that is because of Simon, our tour director. "
"This was our first time to travel with Go Ahead Tours. We were very happy with our guide and everything we did. We do "Highly Recommend" this tour!!! It is a busy time, a lot of walking, and a lot of seeing and doing!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our Italy trip using Go Ahead Tours. Your tour guides were very knowledgeable and professional and we wouldn't hesitate in using your services again. Thank you for a wonderful experience. "
"We were thoroughly delighted by the entire experience we had with Go Ahead Tours. To say that they "exceeded our expectations" is understatement. We did quite a bit of searching for the right trip to celebrate a significant birthday, and there were many, many choices to filter through. From the start Go Ahead Tours was responsive to our questions and concerns. They explained all that was needed to ensure we were happy with our final decision: Northern Italy and Cinque Terre Walking Tour. The itinerary was new to us as previous trips to Italy were spent in Rome, Florence, Naples, and parts of southern Italy, so this trip exposed us to a whole new feel of Italy: Bolzano, Baveno, Lucca, Verona and finally my beloved Firenze. The size of the group, 28, was initially a concern, but within a day or two we all settled in and travelled around like one big, happy (sometimes dysfunctional -like all of ours) family. How was this possible? If one is ever fortunate enough to have Sabra A. as their tour guide then you have hit the jackpot of tour guides. Tirelessly Sabra ensured that everyone was not only accounted for (a feat - you try it, 28 wandering adults!) but elated by the day's activities. Sabra was like having our own college professor along for the trip. History, art, philosophy, language, food, wine...what didn't this woman know? And as we entered Firenze, Sabra played Puccini on the bus's CD. I could have cried it was so perfect. Go Ahead Tours was the total package. Everything was clearly explained; they delivered on every promise, and yes indeed, I shall use this wonderful travel company again...soon."
"Travelled to Ireland with Go Ahead Tours in late Sept./Oct. Great trip. This was my second, as in 2013 I had toured Italy. Tour Guides have been well versed on all the information about the areas, trips and excursions well planned out. Hotel accommodations adequate. Plan to do other trips in the future. "
"I have never been disappointed with the many GoAhead tours that opened my vision and appreciation for art and culture. Excellent and informative guides, memorable and flexible locales and schedules, and quality accommodations. Compared to other tour companies GoAhead offers the best value for your dollar.
My advice to parents whose graduating child is undecided about their future is to send them on a year ofGoAhead tours. Well worth the tuition that would be spent on a first year in college. Travel is an education not found in a textbook or lecture hall. "
"We had excellent guides a each site, a very personable and helpful tour director, and a phenomenal bus driver. I always felt safe on this trip to Sicily. Excellent breakfasts at each hotel. Perfect pool at the hotel in Arigento. Great dinner party at the hotel in Teromina. I would suggest adding beautiful Catania to the package. Excellent communication with the company prior to leaving for this trip.
"
"I am a GO Ahead nut!!! I love this company and will not use anyone else for my travels. Thank you very much for have given me the trips of a lifetime!!"
"My husband and I recently returned from our 9 day Go Ahead Tour to Venice, Florence and Rome. We traveled with 4 other wonderful friends and were included in a group of 35. We all agreed that our trip was " a trip of a life time!" We all would highly recommend using Go Ahead Tours for any trips and are researching to see where we would like to go next. They were extremely professional, efficient, knowledgeable. Our accommodations were excellent, our tour director, Barbara Valloni, was exceptional. The local tour guides were also amazing, especially David who was passionate about his beloved city of Rome. The meals that were included were of fine quality and enjoyed by everyone. We couldn't have been more pleased with using Go Ahead Tours."
