"This is the second time I have hosted this lovely tour! It is one of the best food and wine tours that is offered. Small Italian villages situated on the misty hill tops, beautiful vineyards as far as the eye can see and incredible foods and wines to sample. Yo will not be disappointed if you join this trip...Any time of the year, it is perfect choice! To let you know how good it is, I had several people sign up for a second time to enjoy it. That, to me says it all...Indulge with care and enjoy..."
"Super itinerary. Excellent tour director. I’m a solo traveler and the accommodations were substandard for me in 3 of the 4 hotels. Local guides were, with one exception, excellent. Go Ahead staff was very helpful. "
"Wonderful trip with great and caring people and a phenomenal tour director Danielle!"
"If you want a very good look at 3 of the most exciting cities in the world in a short period of time, I’d recommend this tour. It takes you to all the sites you have been hearing about all your life and that you want to see—plus a whole lot more. Comfortable hotels and excellent guides are provided in each city, along with a wide range of optional activities to select from. All of the travel details are taken care of, leaving you nothing but the enjoyment that goes with new experiences and places. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a neophyte, you can’t go wrong with this tour. Personally I have made 8 trips to Europe and had been to these cities yet I found much that was new on this trip."
"All aspects of the tour were professionally handled by our tour director Sally Innes."
"Our tour guide is fantastic. All tours were fun and informative. Meals were great. Will travel with Go Ahead Tours Again. Want to go to Wales and London."
"Best tour ever , I will recommended to any one"
"Very accommodating guide and motor car driver. Good tour group. Hotels and breakfast were excellent. Flight very long but great Lufthansa airline! "
"Great group, loved howler monkeys, orchids, zip lining (on our own) tree planting, organic farm, friendly service, gentleness of the Costa Ricans "
"The Tour Director was absolutely great. She had an infectious personality and was most accommodating. I would like yo go on another tour she directs."
"One of the best experience I ever had on this trip."
"Great tour guide, Lyn. She made sure our transfers on ferries, planes, buses went smoothly. Great local guides too for Acropolis, Temple of Poseidon, & Akrotiri too. Highlights for me were Camp Sounion, Mykonos, and Santorini"
"Had an amazing time experiencing the diverse landscapes of Ireland and Scotland! Strolling along the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, dipping our toes in the Atlantic Ocean, tapping our toes to Celtic music, and cuddling with lambs ~ definitely captured treasured memories for a lifetime "
"Overall I would say it was okay! As a solo woman traveler I was not expecting to be on a trip with mainly married couples the dynamic was different than when I traveled with all women’s groups. I’m married but my husband doesn’t like to travel so I go on adventures on my own. I met many wonderful couples but felt excluded and lonely at many times during the trip. When we were in North Africa if I chose to sit by myself at a restaurant I would be ignored by the staff or if I chose to adventure on my own I was invisible to staff at cafes! Coming from California it was a cultural adjustment. One thing I didn’t anticipate was running into issues with ATM’s and at one point was worried if I would have enough cash to see me thru my trip! Many times I came across the credit card systems being down which caused additional stress it was something I never experienced in Ireland and Germany. One thing about my trip that caused me concern was the constant tipping. On top of what I had already spent on the trip I felt more and more money was being required. Again not anticipated! Now please don’t get me wrong I saw many wonderful things live Fado music and Flamenco performance and also wonderful sights. Our tour director Manuel was awesome very kind and caring. Plus extremely knowledgeable. But this trip will always stand out as having many challenges and disappointments. For me as a solo traveler I plan to go back to the women only small groups for overall experience and costs. "
"Overall a very good experience. Good bang for the buck. Very good tour director. Very nice hotels. The visa process was a pain and expensive - about $800 for two of us. (Not a Go Ahead issue, but one that may have led us to chose a different Asian country had we known.)"
