"I've been looking forward to going on this itinerary for many years. I have traveled with the company many times over the years, mostly as a tour leader. This was a treat taking part in a tour with no responsibilities. Chris, our tour director was professional in every sense, keeping us on schedule and giving us valuable info. all along the way. Additionally, our group of people from Alabama, Mississippi, Colorado, South Carolina and Canada was relatively small (19) and we all got along famously. I highly recommend this trip and our tour director to anyone interested. How can you beat architecture, history, great wine and fantastic beer!!"
"Go Ahead did an excellent job of putting together an exciting and memorable trip to Australia and New Zealand. All of the major attractions were included, and the tour director, Ronan, made the experience most enjoyable. Everything was planned so that you had as much or little free time as you wanted. Hotel accommodations, travel buses, and provided meals were top notch."
"My daughter and I went on the Grand Tour of Europe London to Rome as graduation gift. Our tour director was Luca who was very knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and very amusing! We enjoyed amazing tours of six different countries, exceptional food, experienced drivers, and lovely hotels. The 22 other people on our tour became like family! We enjoyed phenomenal weather, exciting extras that were added on, and singing! "Volare"
I would highly recommend this tour. I look forward to planning another trip in the future!
Andiamo!

"My ten year old daughter and I took this trip in Summer 2019. It was our first time to Europe. The pace was perfect for us. Plenty of planned excursions and plenty of time on our own. Our tour director, Lyn, was available to help and guide us. She eased my anxieties on multiple occasions about being a female traveler in an unfamiliar setting, and she showed us how to hail a taxi and where to find the metro. On tour I wish we could have spent more time at Windsor Castle, Versailles, and Giverny though. The tours felt rushed and we often had to choose between seeing more of the property or visiting the gift shop because there wasn’t time to do both. The crowds waiting to get into Versailles, especially, were chaotic with lots of pushing and shoving to get to the front, even though we had front of line privileges. I was concerned for my safety and especially the safety of my young child who was quite scared by the experience. We also had dietary challenges as my daughter is lactose intolerant. On our first pub dinner, they forgot about my daughter’s dessert and she had to sit and wait while everyone enjoyed their food. Then when her dessert finally came she had to hurriedly eat it while everyone else waited for her to finish so we could leave. All in all, we had a wonderful first experience in Europe. The mother daughter memories we made will be cherished by both of us!"
"The pace was rather hectic. 7 hotels in 16 nights was a bit much but as such we covered many places. Most hotels were great, but not all."
"Sooooooo easy! Just pay and go!"
"This trip was my favorite of the six GoAhead trips I've taken. I loved the small towns, our charming guide, Guillaume, and getting out into the country to see Rousillion, Chamonix, Cassis, St. Baume Grotte and the Gorge near Annecy. I never could have found these places on my own. Highly recommend the trip with the added excursion."
"My 1st trip abroad and they definitely made sure that I would never forget it! There were some sites that we didn't get to go see which was somewhat of a bummer but the ones that we did see.. Absolutely Incredible and all thanks to our wonderful tour director!"
"The Scandinavian capitols tour was well arranged with overnight ferry trips minimizing time lost in transit. Some of the hotel locations were not in the major tourist areas. The sites visited were all first-Class. The tour leader had expertise, interest in maximizing the client experience and superb communication skills."
"Great sights! Frank was amazing! I’m so very glad I chose to take this tour."
"The Food and Wine Tour of Northern Italy was superb! Our group takes turns picking and this was mine. Our tour director Sabra was phenomenal! The highlights for me were the cooking class and dinner at Podere San Giuliano, the Prosecco tasting and lunch at Villa Sandi, the Barolo tour and tasting lunch at Marchesi Di Barolo, and learning about Balsamico and the lunch at Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena. I could really go on and on there were so many wonderful experiences on this tour. This is my 7th tour with Go Ahead (plus one with EF) and I wouldn't use any other tour company!"
"The trip was amazing. Loved the hotels, food, excursions and actually everything about the trip. The only thing that might be of concern would be the lack of a restroom on the bus transportation.
Look forward to our next Go Ahead Tour"
"Traveling with Go Ahead was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. Their tours are designed for you to see the main attractions without the hassle of you planning it yourself. Worth every penny! Already planning my next trip! "
"First our tour guide was the best. Not once was there any confusion or anything out of place. His name is Bernardo.
Lisbon very nice. Spain is amazing. Morocco - the camel ride and Marrakesh was the highlight of the tour. Casablanca can be reduced to a few hours stop over. Cordoba had the best Mosque. Toledo the best Cathedral. Madrid the best city. Marrakesk the best camels and Argon oil.

"The entire experience was beyond our expectations. The transportation and accommodations were first class, and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed the planned excursions, which took us to sites we never would have found on our own."
