"Mother Nature at her wintery best in a land of shades of black and white. Northern Lights offer a bit of color. Wonderful experience. "

"I loved my holiday in Costa Rica! Our guide, Rafa, was excellent! Besides being extremely knowledgeable of the area, he also was a very considerate person to all members of our group.
I loved all the tours we went on, really enjoyed the Skywalk, boat rides were wonderful, and hotels were good to excellent."

"We had a wonderful time, except that we both got nasty colds. We loved Aehab, our first guide. He is a wealth of knowledge. I especially enjoyed our trip to the Dead Sea. Food and hotels were good. The extended trip into Jordan - especially Petra and the day in the desert were especially fun! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting the most for the $$! I think everyone was satisfied..."

"Isreal was great. Experienced knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend it to everyone. The Petra experience was different. Sights were great but tour guide lacked. Tried telling us everything were knew about Jesus was wrong and Islam was right. We left the extension a day early because of this. I recorded some of his talk so I have proof. But Isreal is well worth going. "

"This tour included everything you ever wanted to see in Egypt. We traveled from Alexandria to the Aswan Dam. We did it all with the most amazing knowledgeable guide. Everything was top notch, from the 4 star hotels, the transportation, the food, the safety precautions, the wonderful 4 days on the Nile, it just couldn’t be better. This tour was more than I could have imagined! I took home so many amazing memories. I will definitely return with Go Ahead Tours - they met all expectations and more."

"See above statement. It says it all"

"The itinerary was wonderful from the Plaza de Espana in Madrid to the La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona! Every day offered something spectacular to see.
The hotels were good and the group size (only 15) was great.
The one thing I would change is to get off the bus rather than pointing out the sights in Madrid and Seville when driving by."

"The trip was quick paced, informative and even with the extra tours, there was some extra time on your own!"

"We booked this trip specifically for viewing the fireworks in Sydney, Australia. Well, guess what, we got to view the fireworks from one of the back bays and didn't see the fireworks from the Bay bridge. Very disappointed with Go Ahead Tours' way of setting up the viewing. Otherwise, The trip was great."

"As I was in my New Years Trip in Peru, one of my friends ask - “you are so adventorus! Are you staying in hostels?
My answer: I’m in a five stars resort in a room with a window to the Andes...!

Honestly there’s no comparison when you travel with Go Ahead Tours!!! Is simple as this: THEY TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING!!! AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!!! From the flights to having a driver picking me up from the airport to my hotel, they take care of my hotel reservations, food in the best restaurants, transfers, have a tour director with you at all times, tour guides EVERYWHERE you go with EVERY activity that has been plan for you! All tickets to museums, churches, hikes, ruins and tours. A bus that takes you where you need to be.
Yes you may be able to travel to all these places on your own, but YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIT ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES that Go Ahead plan in advance for you! Or get all the reservations in hotels, restaurants, museums and attractions.
Every day is full of MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES! They take you where you need to go, they do what’s need to be done in the place where you are.
Be adventurous, stay in cheap hotels, try to find the best food, walk and get lost while you lose time looking for that place... or use GO AHEAD TOURS and enjoy your vacations!!! "

"Best way to ring in the new year is with Italians in Rome! Great pace on this tour let’s you linger in each stop for some time on your own. Francesco our guide was superb!"

"I had a great time in London and Paris. I will be traveling with Go Ahead Tours again"

"Our tour was truly amazing.
Jorge, the tour guide was absolutely the best! His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for this area made our tour such a unique experience.
Highly recommend to all ages and physical abilities!
Thank you, Go Ahead Tours!

"I have been wanting to visit Egypt since I was a child. I've spent years reading about/learning/studying Egyptian culture and decided to finally save up and go. It was everything I wanted and more! The guide for this tour, Atef, was outstanding. I don't believe there is a person better suited for this job than he is. Every day we learned so much from him, an Egyptologist. He had a great sense of humor and made sure everyone was well taken care of at all times. That's not easy to do with 35 people! Other than the 1st hotel, the places we stayed were great. This was my 5th tour with GoAhead and definitely stands out as one of the best! There is no way I could have done and seen all I did without going on this tour. The time we saved alone is worth it and we never felt unsafe. You don't have to wait in long lines for things most of the time because the tickets have been purchased ahead of time. If we were taking a different mode of transportation (so many boats, busses, carriages, etc.) they were always ready and waiting for us. One thing to keep in mind is that it's good to keep A LOT of small bills on you. A stack of one dollar bills will get you far. You'll need them to use most of the restrooms you'll encounter, as well as tipping the bellmen who bring up your bags, the housekeeper who cleans your room, the waitstaff who serve/wait on you at the buffets, etc. Especially on the cruise ship, as those employees really do not make much money and work very hard to make sure you have a nice trip. I was lucky in that my roommate brought lots of extra; she was able to help me out. You'll also need them to buy water from the bus driver. It's a good price, but I have not had to pay for water on the bus with other tours and they were not in a desert. I'd rather goahead just charge me more from the beginning instead of having to bring more money along. Also be prepared to pay extra for wifi on the ship. Skip the gym here, though, as it's in pretty poor condition and they charge $10/hour. It's worth a mention that my roommate was injured close to the end of the tour. Arrangements were quickly made and we were taken to a hospital for xrays. We were in and out in 30min and it was $53 usd. Honestly it was the best possible experience given the circumstances and I was so pleased with how well and quickly Atef was able to make these arrangements. He had to stay with the group but he called often to check in with us and see how things were going. He treated us more like friends than tour guests and I won't forget his kindness.

Now, for the bad. As for the Jordan extension, I would skip it. The guide was inappropriate, did not change his clothes once the entire extension we were with him and was not easy to follow or understand. It was so disorganized that I broke off from the group and did much of this tour on my own. My very first interaction with him was him making a sexual joke. Some of the meals which were not included were too expensive for the quality of food we were getting, and sometimes we didn't have any other option, so lots of people just went hungry. Petra is incredible as was the dead sea but I think these could very easily be organized on your own so as to not have to experience this unprofessional man. This director is not the standard for GoAhead, given my previous trips, but he really ruined this portion of the trip for me and most others on my group. We were bullied into giving him high marks on his review (which he did not deserve) and it just left us all feeling uncomfortable and uneasy. He also scoffed at one person who he believed didn't offer him a big enough tip, and openly shared what some people had written on their 'confidential' survey with others. Jordan is safer than Egypt, cleaner, and almost everyone can speak English. Go that part alone until they are able to replace their current director."

"Most importantly, there was never any stress! Actually, most importantly, our tour guide was a caring, organized, go the extra mile for us person. Everything was taken care of (museum tickets, ferry tickets, buses, brilliant guides at the various digs). My husband and I will always travel Go Ahead Tours. "
