"Hotels were all excellent except for the one in Boudeaux. It was too far from the main part of town and there were not many options of restaurants in the area. Due to the volume of guests, and shortage of staff one morning's breakfast was very chaotic, they kept running out of food.
Liked the variety of different wineries that we visited. The extra excursions were wonderful and interesting. To top it off we had a excellent tour guide, Mario. He made sure that we all had a wonderful experience, he is a credit to your tour company. "

"We have had two tours over all with Go Ahead. The first one was splendid! The second one was just okay. The trip itself was awesome, The group however, was too large. 31 people were way too much for one tour director to keep track of. Go Ahead had forgotten to make my travel partners' airplane reservations, and we had already gone through and selected our seats prior. We found out the week before we were to leave that they didn't have the reservation for her- booked! It took them 24 hours to get a seat on the plane, however in order for us to sit together, and not at the back of the plane (she gets air sick) , we each had to pay 500 dollars for a seat upgrade in order to fix their mistake. It is because of this, that I doubt we will use Go Ahead again. Go Ahead needs to re-evaluate the large group tours - either make them smaller or add another tour director.

"The trip to Germany was amazing. Lots of fun."

"We had a great vacation with Go Ahead. We had never been on a tour before so having someone look after things was a treat. The staff that booked our trip was very helpful, answered promptly and was never impatient with our rookie questions. Our tour guide was the best! Can't say enough good things about David! Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He was respectful of the people that needed some special consideration ... One lady had a cast...and was in tune with the different wants and likes of the various travelers. Made suggestions and gave options for different entertainment in the places we visited. Gave a couple handouts of history, attractions etc. at some of the countries and cities we went. Again, as we have never been on a tour we have nothing to compare with, but he made things so easy and enjoyable. Could go on and on. Would definitely book another tour with Go Ahead"

"I recently completed my fifth tour with Go Ahead, and already have two more booked. They provide excellent value for the money. All my tour directors have been great. They share a lot of knowledge about their country you would not know otherwise. Hotels are nice, clean places, and centrally located. Breakfast is always included, and several dinners as well. I like the option of having some free days where you can explore on your own, or sign up for optional excursions that might interest you. "

"This tour was a nine day taster of the British Isles. The pace was fast, and the tour filled with wonderful sights and much information. The three cities visited, included London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, each with its own charm and points of interest. For instance, London was you typical cosmopolitian city, where as Edinburgh took you back in time with its cobble stone streets, kilts, castles and bagpipes. Dublin, the land of poets, green rolling hills and vales, not to mention one of the largest city parks in the world, did not disappoint. Representatives of these three countries, without exception, exuded a wonderful sense of national pride, willingly sharing their country's history and vision for the future. Would I consider going back? Yes, in a heart beat. "

"Exactly as advertised. Outstanding tour leader (Alex)."

"I enjoyed the Scotland tour greatly, from the unique cities to the large smoky small mountains of the North. Seeing real castles that people actual lived in, is an experience on how family dwellings were guarded from enemies and other foes . The ruins of the cathedrals allows you to stand in places that were centuries of the past. Meeting new tourist and getting to know them is always exciting and turns in making new friends. Thank you for a good time.

"Very satisfied with my overall experience with GoAhead Tours from my first inquiry to my last day of my tour, everything was handled professionally and I would certainly recommend the service to everyone and have praised their services to everyone I tell my trip about. Would certainly use them again."

"My trip to Greece and Turkey was absolutely amazing! Roberto our tour guide was just fabulous! Everything was taken care of from the pick up at the airport, to all the bus rides, tours and check ins at the hotels, there wasn't a thing left undone.
I do wish some of the optional tours were more adventure based, but I was able to seek that out on my own! "

"We were very pleased with our tour. This was our first experience with Go Ahead Tours & we we had an extremely enjoyable tour. The activities were well thought out. I noted several times when visiting a site, we tended to be a head of the crowd. Our tour director was very accommodating and went the extra mile."

"Very enjoyable tour. A variety of options and excellent tour director. Hotels generally very good with a couple of exceptions. September/October is a great time to travel."

"We have been traveling with Go Ahead Tours for more than ten years. We find the trips are a good value for the price, the tour guides are experts in their fields and speak a variety of languages, and they keep everyone on time so that all travelers get to enjoy the most that each trip offers. We are also happy with the fact that we spend more than one day in most places and there is usually one day to explore on our own.

We are also impressed that each guide makes sure that we have no problems with our food allergies by letting venders know what we need, and the guides are at our disposal for information and/or help with whatever issues occur.

Overall, we would recommend Go Ahead Tours to anyone who wants an excellent experience meeting new friends, seeing many different cultures and countries at an affordable price in the hands of professionals who take care of all the details so you can relax and enjoy.

"My overall opinion is that Go Ahead Tours "squeezed" every dollar out of this tour that they could.

Flight between Buffalo to Philadelphia was on a commuter prop plane. Cheapest fare?
Flight between Philadelphia and Shannon was very nice.
Flight between Dublin and Charlotte was a killer. Should have been returned to Boston or NYC. I am sure it was the cheapest fare.

The hotels chosen were average at best.

The hotel in Galway was acceptable only because of where it was located.
The hotel at Blarney was very nice.
The hotel in Dublin was okay at best and in an awful location.

The tour was advertised as 8 days in Ireland. We were there for 6 days at best. Arrived early Sunday morning and left very early Saturday morning.

The tour director was very informative, helpful and personable."

"we were very pleased & would use Go Ahead Tours again."
