"I had an amazing time. Excellent tour guide, wonderful food and perfect weather. So interesting and beautiful. I would love to return to both Italy and Greece one day to see more."

"We did the Florence, Siena, Lucca, Cinque Terre trip with the Lake Como extension. It was wonderful to see the Tuscany region. We stayed at only 2 hotels, in excellent locations. Best of all, our tour leader, Bojan from Serbia, he was wonderful, full of energy and attention to details for everyone."

"Flights were excellent, most accommodations were great. Morocco tours were too focused on mosques and markets. Would have preferred more Spain, less Morrocco. "

"Tour: May 2019

Excellent tour! Our guide was always engaged with the group and super helpful. She responded in a timely cheerful manner to all questions, suggestions, and was helpful in all respects. There was never a doubt that she was well versed regarding background of each site we visited. Accommodations and the various hotel facilities were excellent. My wife and I were pleased with all aspects of the tour and recommend it to all who wish to explore the many sites in France included in this itinerary."

"The sites we saw on tour were amazing, although I felt like we could have seen more had our hotel been in a closer location! We spent a lot of time going back & forth to destinations! I enjoyed the impromptu stops along the way. I also think more castles need to be include, as it was a castle tour! Several of the castles so were an extra excursion instead of being included in the tour! Overall Scotland and our tour guide Reuben were fabulous would recommend a trip to Scotland!"

"I was met at the airport, as promised, by our tour director. I was a little nervous because I was traveling by myself for the first time. The hotels were are very nice except for the Da Vinci hotel in Florence. It was not very clean, the sink would not drain and the shower handle came off in my hand. The brochure stated there would be up to 2 hours of walking per day on uneven surfaces. It was more like 4 or 5 hours. David, our tour director was very knowledgeable and considerate. The places we saw were beautiful and interesting."

"I just returned from a 14-day Grand Tour of Ireland. The tour more than met my expectations. The tour leader, Brian Grainger, was organized, helpful, entertaining and informative. I really appreciated learning more about the history of Ireland and felt the city guides and opportunity to visit museums such as the Cobh Heritage Center and the Titanic Museum added more depth to the tour. It was so enjoyable to see the variety of scenery - both verdant and austere. The castles and cathedrals... magnificent. I was surprised that one of the stops on the tour that I thought I wouldn't enjoy so much, the trip to the Glen Keen Farm to watch a sheep herding demonstration, turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. I would strongly encourage future trips to include that stop.

I have one small suggestion for an improvement in the trip's itinerary. I would have preferred for us to have one additional day in Dublin and, to make that possible, exchange that for one less day in Belfast.

All in all, a lovely tour; very interesting, educational and enjoyable."

"I wasn't happy with the Hotel Pierre's breakfast in Florence. There was no cut-up fresh fruit and the break & rolls were unsatifactory. However, in genreral the hotel & staff were very good. Location couldn't be beat, although the surrounding area was noisy. The Grand Bristol in Rapallo was very nice. The views were outstanding and the slippers and robe were appreciated. Breakfast selections were excellent. However, the shuttle into town wasn't operating and the hotel's location was not the best for getting into town. The best part of the tour was Bojan - our tour guide. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, wonderfully pleasant and couldn't accommodate our group more. He got my camera operating again after a malfunction and was attentive to all group members. He and another Gate 1 tour guide were the best I've ever had on group tours. Loved the Rapallo part of the tour because I'd been to Florence and the surrounding area and so did not participate in the optional tours. All the villages we saw in the Cinque Terre and Portofino areas were precious. Bojan and our bus driver (Giancarlo) made the mini-bus excursions unique and efficient."

"This was our first experience with GoAhead Tours and it was wonderful. Our guide Addie was fantastic. She really went the extra miles to engage the attention of the group (origami, charts, even magic tricks!). The pace of the tour was just right. We saw so much but never felt rushed. It was very well organized. Accommodations and transportation were excellent. I don’t know of any way it could have been better—just a great overall experience. "

"Great tour! Great guide! Great experience! Can’t wait to travel again with Go Ahead Tours!"

"Great trip! Highly recommend this adventure!"

"Our guide was excellent, as were the centrally located hotels. Breakfasts in the hotels were also excellent and a fine way ti begin each day."

"Although the tour was only 10 days, we were able to see several cities we ordinarily wouldn't have had time for."

"Go Ahead hires the best guides who are very knowledgeable. Our guide, Mike, must be over 700 years old as he knew that much history, and trivia, about Ireland. We spent hours on an uncomfortable bus but the sights were enough to make up for the cramped, hard seats. Hotel accommodations were good, but only one hotel, in Cork, was four-star. The hotel in Dublin, oldest one in the city, was a dump. Our small room was in the basement. But, hey, that’s all part of the adventure. Right? We’d do Go Ahead again, they are good at what they do. One suggestion: since we spend so much time of buses, hire coaches that have an on-board toilet and spacious comfortable seats. Go Ahead’s tour of Ireland, however, was excellent. There is so much to see and learn in the ole sod that we felt the tour covered much of it in such a limited time. Hail Ireland!"

"Italy was a very beautiful, very charming, and unique experience. Go ahead did a fabulous job, our tour director bent over backward to ensure our enjoyment. That being said, if you are wary of stairs and lots of walking and steps, just be aware going in that there will be a lot! Also, traffic in Italy is amazingly unpredictable, which caused us to have to rush or be late, which was frustrating and tiring. This was, of course, not anyone's fault, but still part of our experience. If I could, I would have opted for more time in Rome. A day and a half was not enough! Overall a great trip!"
