"Wonderful experience!! First time with Go Ahead tours. Would highly recommend The Grand Tour of Italy! Our tour started 5/5/15. Our tour director Stephana was excellent! She made the trip fun, educational, took us to all the places in the brochure and then some. Most of us brought all the wrong clothes because it ended up being unseasonably hot. Favorite places Assisi, Venus and Sorento! Extended 2 days & glad we did. Had reserved tickets to see the Pope..don't miss this experience!! Will definitely do another trip with Go Ahead Tours!"
"It was a fantastic tour........thoroughly enjoyed Croatia & Slovenia. Go Ahead Tour are super at taking care of everything. Very knowledgeable tour guides. "
"I really enjoy going on tour with Go Ahead. They handle your travel plans efficiently and quickly. You can reach them by phone or online for any of your questions. It is like they know you when contacting them. My tour to Puglia was great! Beautiful historic Italian towns/cities/coastlines, museums, and fantastic, clean, hotels awaiting you. All the meals were so satisfying, and a work of art. Breakfast buffets were always an anticipation, as they have such an unexpected array of beautiful presented choices. Our bus was huge and luxurious. Our driver experienced, cordial, and one was comfortable feeling safe. Giuliana Liberati our Tour Director, did everything so things went efficiently and was pleasantly personalable, to see that we all knew each other and became like family. This was a wonderful warm group likewise, and what a fabulous tour to experience. Carolyn Whittaker"
"GoAhead surpassed my expectations!! Chris, our tour director, was so accommodating to our requests! Our scheduled stops, and unscheduled surprise stops, made our trip so very enjoyable! I will recommend this company, for sure. "
"I just recently completed my 7th Go Ahead trip and every one has been wonderful. It is hard to say which is my favorite but Kenya and Tanzania along with Turkey are right at the top. Of course Peru, Italy and Eastern Europe were pretty terrific too. The staff at Go Ahead are wonderful to work with and the tour directors are knowledgeable and fun."
"We have been on other tours to Italy with other tours and have never been quite satisfied with the total tour package. This time we decided to not only use Go Ahead Tours, but to take a chance and do back-to-back tours. The first one The Grand Tour of Italy and then The Puglia Southern Tour. The itineraries were spectacular. The staff including the tour guides and bus drivers were outstanding. We left with an in-depth view of Italy, its geography, its history, its culture and its people all seen through the eyes of the very efficient and knowledgable tour guides and transportation staff. The hotels were also first rate. We considered it "the trip of a lifetime". Thank you Go Ahead Tours. "
"as usual with Go Ahead, the guides made the tour. Paul Vladu put the Eastern European cities tour into a wide historical context and then zoomed in on the 20th century and WWII. He made relevant what we were looking at. Equally important were the other members of the tour--great ambience, wonderful backgrounds, significant insights."
"After many hours of reading feedback reviews of numerous tour groups I found that Go Ahead Tours listened to their customers and had fantastic ratings. This was the first time my wife and I had been out of the country. It was important to be able to see the country but not feel rushed and still have free time. Our trip to Italy was fantastic, great tour director, great transportation, hotel locations were perfect and the amount of free time allowed us to explore on our own. A Major PLUS was that we never waited in a line for a tour. We made the most of every minute and by not standing in a line gave us more minutes to see other things.
We are now friends with people from our tour, they are all over the USA. I also found during my checking of GAT people on Facebook who had traveled with them and made more friends. They all said the same thing, GAT was fantastic, Go With Them and that they already had booked other tours to other parts of the world. Do your own checking, I didn't take the first good review but we are glad we went with Go Ahead Tours.
If you've read this far I hope it helped. If you do choose GAT who knows maybe we'll be on the same trip together someday. "
"I've taken numerous trips with GoAhead over the years, and have had many great experiences and adventures. From the streets of Bangkok and the temple of Angkor Wat to the mountain tops of the Julian Alps and the slopes of Machu Picchu, I have seen and experienced many of the wonders of the world we live in. GoAhead had never let me down in both the quality of the adventure and the knowledge of their tour leaders and guides. I will continue to use them in my future travels."
"This was my second wine and food tour. It was wonderful as always. I got to go places I hadn't been before. I traveled with EF Tours for 23 years and had been to Italy 5 times. I hadn't been to Siena or Assisi and other small towns in the area. What I love about these tours is the group usually isn't really big and we have found that Go Ahead plans for us to be places early enough to not get into huge crowds. The tour directors are always wonderful and take wonderful care of us. I think my favorite place to visit was the cathedral in Siena. It was like none other I have ever seen and believe me I have seen a lot of churches!! I really enjoyed the wine tastings we had also. We bought several bottles and a leather coat in Florence. I had watched the BBC series on the Medici's and really appreciated the dome on the church in Florence after seeing how it was built. I highly recommend Go Ahead for their tours. I have traveled with Viking and enjoyed it very much, but Go Ahead is MUCH less expensive and you get to see much more as you don't have to find a place to anchor the ship. I am hoping to see Spain and Portugal soon!!"
"Had an awesome time, tour guide was great, helped out a lot. "
"Enjoyed GoAhead's small group tour. Extremely organized your director. Pretty good hotel and meal selections. "
"I highly recommend Go Ahead Tours. I have always travelled on my own before. Using Go Ahead made my travel experience so much more enjoyable. From the beginning when we were greeted at the airport, I felt at ease. Our tour guide took care of all the minutia that is tiring on a trip. Our bags were delivered and picked up at our rooms, recommendations were given for dining and shopping and the bus was comfortable and always on time.The hotels were wonderful,group meals were good and the size of the group was perfect.The iternary was very well planned with many fantastic opportunities .

"Four friends and I traveled to Italy with Go Ahead Tours in May, 2015. It was a wonderful trip. The group of 25 was a prefect size, and everyone on the tour was personable and fun. Our tour director, Antonio, was fabulous. He could not do enough for us to make the trip memorable. Our City guides also were terrific, especially Stewart in Rome. His knowledge of the City and it's history was incredible. Although I would have liked our hotels to be closer to the center of Venice and Rome, they were all lovely. All in all, I would not hesitate to travel with Go Ahead Tours at any time in the future."
