"My daughter and I just returned from our Iceland trip and have great memories to share forever. Going down inside a volcano, experiencing the warmth of the Blue Lagoon, boating around in a glacial pool with icebergs all around us, visiting the Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island.......really, how much better can life get! We didn't get great viewing of the Northern Lights, but that was because it was rainy and cloudy most of the time, which we had no control over. The hotel was in a great location and within walking distance of the Old Harbor area where there were great local restaurants and plenty of places to shop. Go Ahead hit another home run with this tour and I highly recommend it to others that are interested in going. "
"The planning of the trip was great- we saw and did a lot. the execution left something to be desired. Hotels were not amenable for senior travelers , although the beds were very comfortable. food was very average and not much choice. We had expected wine with meals and it was limited and sometimes not available. The hotel we stayed on our last day in Limerick did not feel safe.
Our first day was difficult having to navigate the tube on our own and decide what to do. A short walking tour or a bus trip around the city would have been easier.
The positive things were - our guide James was wonderful - very knowledgeable and personable , helped us with many small issues and gave us individual attention when needed. Ireland and Scotland were lovely - we saw so much in a short time-The Ring of Kerry was a wonderful addition.
I have only been on one other GoAhead Tour and feel this one was not up to par . The price did not reflect the value.
I may consider another Go Ahead Tour but not certain..

"A great tour and our Tour Guide Sigi Vogt was amazing. She was extremely helpful when my sister became ill.
It was however too much walking for a 75 and 80 yr old mostly sedentary women.
Will do cruises from now on unless you offer bus on and off tours. "

"This was my second vacation to Europe and unlike the first one where I needed to arrange all my activities; the Go Tours experience was great! They took care of all the hotels, sightseeing, travel etc. which let me focus on actually enjoying my time in Italy & Greece. My overall tour guide as well as the individual guides were all knowledgeable, friendly and extremely nice. They help me appreciate the sights and their meaning. While there is a added cost going thru a tour group, it was well worth it since my time was spent enjoying the sights & taking hundreds of pictures which I've shared with family/friends/co-workers. Go Tours did a great job and I will be taking another tour in the not to distant future with them."

"Our tour director was exceptional! She taught us about the geography of Italy, and the history and food of each region. The scenery was breathtaking; the food was excellent. There was also enough time for shopping too! This was our 7th GoAhead tour and we are looking forward to our next. "
“Hi Janet! A very warm welcome back. So nice to know that you had yet another amazing time with us. Isn't it great to be able to book multiple trips back to back? And as you noticed, the more trips you book, the more savings you get.”
"Go Ahead tour guide was good, very knowledgeable! Ecuador was interesting. Bus travel was just ok. The ship, the Legend was amazing! Every key feature listed was 100% accurate! The service, food, accommodations, nature guides, all 5 star!! The Galápagos Islands were truly amazing!! The message of “love, respect, and protect the environment” was ever present. To my great delight!"
“Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your trip to Ecuador and The Galapagos! We hope to see you again soon!”

"Our first visit to Paris. This was a wonderful tour, perfectly paced with an excellent mix of excursions and free time to explore Paris. With soooo much to see in Paris, we barely scratched the surface with this tour. We will return.
Patrick Long, our Tour Director was amazing. He is well organized, personable and accessible. He is an experienced guide who anticipated many of the questions we would have and pro-actively delivered information IN WRITING and on the first day.
The hotel selected by Go-Ahead was the Marriott Rive Gauche. It was a nice hotel in a location that was convenient to attractions but also to some delightful Parisian areas such as Butte aux Cailles that are often missed by tourists. When we return, we will stay at this location."
“We are really happy that you had such an amazing time with Go Ahead and that the itineraries on your trip were everything you had wished for. Additionally, we are delighted to hear that our Tour Director’s professionalism shined throughout your journey, we will forward the lovely sentiments to the Tour Directors Manager. Thanks again!”
"Walking tour should be renamed hiking tour. Hills, rocks and ruts made for rough terrain. Fortunately I could do it but two of my traveling friends could not. "
“Hi Carolyn, thank you for your feedback and for bringing up this issue. We will forward your concern to our Operations team, so they can make the proper adjustments to the pace of this tour. Thanks again and we hope you returned home with great memories!”
"A trip of a life time! Everything was well organized and our tour director was amazing. Staff at GO Ahead were wonderful. The only thing I didn't like was the flight over-we had what I would call ,THE MILK RUN.The flights back were great. If the flight over was like the flight back this review would have gotten 5 stars. Everything else about the trip was AWESOME."

"From the moment we set foot in South Africa until we boarded our plane home we had the most amazing adventure! Our Tour Director Duane was absolutely the best! He was so knowledgable and fun and he helped to make our tour outstanding! From Robben Island to Table Mountain Cape Town was beautiful and interesting! The country is so diverse and lush with farming and wineries! We were so fortunate on our game drives to see so many animals including new babies! The people in South Africa were friendly and so much fun! The tour was a great mixture of culture, history, food/wine, safari's, and experiences. I won't forget our walk along Victoria Falls and hearing the thunder of the water as it fell or the mother rhino walking with her tiny baby rhino or just having fun with new friends and old friends enjoying the delicious meals! It was truly a trip of a lifetime!"
“Thank you for such positive feedback. We are happy to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your recent trip to South Africa with us!
