"Goahead tours was everything I could have wanted on my trip to australia, new zealand, and fiji. Luke Bonney tour director eas outstanding, hotels, itinerary and included items were great. Truly enjoyed experience and would recommend to anyone"
"One of the best parts of our trip to Germany, Switzerland and Austria was having a knowledgeable, understanding and affable guide who shepherded us graciously through beautiful and interesting countries without being pushy or demanding."
"Very good and well planned trip"
"We were thrilled with our entire experience. The hotels were perfect and in great locations. Our tour guide was amazing. We will ask for her again. She gave us great advice on everything. We loved having choices about joining the group or doing our own thing. It was hassle free except the transportation from the airport to the first hotel. Nobody met us but we called our guide and she took care of it. Other than that, it was just perfect. We will plan to use this tour again when we travel."
"We did the 12 day tour of Italy, Venice, Florence, Rome, and loved it, I think that going on this tour was the thing to do first. We are planning on going back on your own later, and renting a
house for a month or two, to see the country on are own."
"My recent tour of Ancient Peru and the Amazon was simply amazing! We had the best tour director yet....Robert Campos Agreda!! There's a man who loves his country and his job! I have no complaints whatsoever....the food, hotels, hospitality, everything was great! I only wish I had been able to talk to Roberto before the trip so I wouldn't have worried about mosquito bites, travel diarrhea, etc.(he certainly put our minds at ease). My most favorite part was the extension....go to the Amazon! Cruising along the Amazon River, seeing the animals at the Rescue Center, the Canopy Walk, loved it all!!! Thank-you!!!"
"Because of weather my trip was delayed leaving San Antonio TX, but that didn't mean I wasn't cared for from my first notification to Go Ahead. They picked up the ball and ensured my arrival in Milan Italy was met with a guide. From that point I was in the best tour guide hands. Sabra, the golden goose of guides, was efficient, punctual, and the best a tour guide I could have asked for. Sabra made the tour educational while making it interesting. We enjoyed every city to the fullest. From Wine tastings, to delicious meals, to excellent accommodations and a very expert driver, Italy could not be called anything but a dream come true. I loved the fact that each city had its own city tour guide. They made each city come alive with authentic reGionsl informational tidbits. I don't think I could have asked for anything better. I loved the meals we enjoyed together. I also loved the free time to roam at our leisure but keeping to a prescribed timetable. A perfect blend of time and leisure. when I return again to Italy I hope to see more of the south of the country and return to enjoy Tuscany--a favorite of mine. There just isn't any thing quite like Italy in the spring of the year. If you like cool but not cold weather March is the perfect time to travel. Ciao

"My daughter and I totally enjoyed our visit to South Africa and Victoria Falls. Our tour guide was outstanding and made this trip worthwhile! The size of our group was perfect and all were experienced travelers. Our visit to the children's home was excellent, and I am now having a local women's group, Beta Sigma Phi, provide them with clothing and toys. A memorable trip that I would do again!"
"I have taken many tours with Goahead Tours since the 1990's. Two of the tours were within the US, the others in Europe, the UK, and the Middle East. The company takes care of all the details from travel to and from the destination, several meals, included guided tours of cities along the way and points of interest and provides a knowledgeable tour guide for the entire trip. They often offer optional sightseeing along the way as well. The number of individuals on the tour averages around 30. Tour guides meet you at the airport, and all transportation to and from airports and hotels is arranged for you. There is no waiting in ticket lines because the tour director makes arrangements ahead of time. Often the tour directors offer to accompany groups on impromptu excursions to experience more of the cities being visited. For instance, one tour director took us to some of the "cavas" in Spain. We had some wine and listened to a wonderful trio of tenors, winding up the night with a rousing rendition of "Guantanamera". Each tour also includes some free time so customers can explore on their own. I spent a whole day of free time in Florence, Italy marveling at its marvelous art, architecture, and sculpture and buying gifts to take home. Accommodations-hotels, dining, etc-are above average. In short, Goahead Tours provides superior service at a reasonable price compared to some other companies and I have already signed up for my next trip. "
"I have traveled with GoAhead quite a few times (I forget how many) and have always enjoyed the trips enormously. My last trip was this past April (to Portugal and Spain) and I was very pleased to see improvements in areas that I had commented upon in the past -- obviously enough other people felt as I did for changes to be made..
The hotel locations are MUCH better than before (though sometimes not quite as good as they could be); there are more included excursions, and the free time was very well proportioned. I am a little surprised that the price of an add-on excursion increases if booked during the trip (that's a little ridiculous), and it is annoying that there is still uncertainly about exactly which hotel is going to be used. Hotel locations make quite a difference -- and especially with so much free time, it's important to know -- in advance -- where the hotel is in any given place.
But the tour directors have always been wonderful - and now the individual city or attraction guides are much better than before. The schedules are more sensible and do-able than before.
I am happy to have this chance to praise GoAhead's improvements, with the confidence that they will continue to be responsive to travelers' comments. I look forward to my next GoAhead trip -- wherever it may be. "
"I have been on 2 Go Ahead Tours and have felt comfortable and secure in Europe and in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Having to be in control at my job constantly can be draining. It is nice to let someone else take the reins and help me to relax and provide an educational and pleasurable experience. Will go on future Go Ahead Tours when I can arrange to get awy again!"
"This is a very well planned and implemented trip to the Greek Isles and Roberto was excellent in all respects, including being flexible and upgrading our experience when there had to be a change. He is very knowledgeable, attentive to details, and has a great sense of humor which made it fun. Great overview of the islands, enough time to get a good sample of each, and enough time to ourselves to poke around with no chance of getting lost. We did the Istanbul extension and our guide there was also excellent and gave us a good intro to the city and culture."
"We love our trip!!!
This was the first time my husband and I visit Paris. We were anxious about this trip when we left NYC. However, the minute we met Brain Haldeman when we arrived our hotel in Montmartre, we realized that we were going to have a great time in Paris. Brain, our tour director was very knowledgable and patient. He is really loving what he is doing with us every day. Because of him, we have added more optional excursions. We have enjoyed so much in Paris.
The reason I give this tour 4 stats is that we had to get up at 3 AM on our last day in Paris. Then we stopped in Roma for three hours, took us more than 14 hour to back home. "
"Go Ahead Tours goes Above and Beyond my expectations. I found about this tour company by accident. They are very reliable and caring. They are with you from the beginning stages with planning a tour, throughout your tour, and once you return. This tour company shows a lot of pride in their company, it shows with their tour guides. They put a lot of thought in their tours and it also shows. I was able to see many masterpieces of artwork that I will remember for a lifetime. I will continue to use this tour company and recommend them to everyone. They provide a wonderful tour, without the stress and worrying of anything. They take care of you and everything. These tours cost more, but I believe you get what you pay for. "
"We've traveled to Kenya, Tanzania, Ecuador and Peru with Go Ahead and absolutely loved these trips. Go Ahead takes the worry out of traveling by providing excellent information and help before you travel, then by providing knowledgeable and caring guides as you travel. The itineraries were wonderful and maximized our exposure to the cultures and historic aspects of each country. We felt there was adequate "free time" to explore on our own and to enjoy local foods, shopping and relaxing. We have already booked our next trip with Go Ahead: Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and are looking forward to it!"
