"This tour was a fabulous experience. Tour Director was great You saw so many countries and your transportation between countries was some of the best scenery I have ever seen. It's a packed tour, but if you are going over and want to see as much as possible this is the tour for you."
"Ireland turned out to be just like I always thought it would be, lots of grey skies and on-off rain most days. Lovely countryside and nice towns and villages, very friendly people. The food is just so-so, except their grass-fed beef which is wonderful.
The tour pretty much circled the island with a few jaunts into parts of the interior. The scenery is pretty and I feel like I "know Ireland" after this trip. I do wish that some of our stops had more time to really see that point of interest; several of our stops left me feeling cheated that there was not enough time to really see it. This tour did not seem to have the substance and wealth of experiences that other tours have had. It was kind of a brief taste of what to see in Ireland, but not enough to make me feel satisfied with the experience."

"One of the things on our bucket list was a trip to the Galapagos Islands and Manchu Picchu. This trip exceeded our very high expectations for our trip of a lifetime. Everything about it was perfect...great experiences, hotels and amazing food."
“Hi Don! Thanks for leaving us a review, which we had great pleasure reading. Being able to help you cross something off your Bucket List makes us smile from ear to ear. We are so happy you had the time of your life! Call us when you are ready to cross off your next Bucket List destination!”

"The Puglia and Southern Italy tour is a once in a lifetime experience that should not be overlooked. This tour offers its own unique characteristics in the cities of Bari, Polignano A Mare, and Lecce along the beautiful eastern coast of Italy and, of course, the Trulli Houses in Alberobello. Traveling west, the tour visits Matera where the once disgraced, Sassi Houses exist. No one can fully describe the beauty of the Amalfi Coast; it is an area that you can only experience first-hand."
“Hi Bonnie! Thanks for your feedback and for your kind endorsement. We look forward to guiding you through the world again soon!”
"It was our first experience in Europe and from the first day all my questions were answer. From researching to booking our vacation was smooth and easy. I booked our flights myself but requested to be pick up in the airport in Athens and what a pleasant experience was to meet our tour director Stefania Possamai. During our whole traveling experience, Stefania made us feel comfortable and welcome, always checking on our well being and giving us info about tour and extras. We have a great experience with food. Greece has a delicious food for everybody. Stefania recommended and chose great places to have our special dinners. The only thing I would recommend to Go Ahead Tours is to clarify about tipping in Europe and specially to our drivers and local tour guides. The agency give you three envelopes for tips, one for the tour director and two for drivers but we didn't have the same drivers everyday so it was a bit confusing how to distribute the tips. In general, it was a great experience. I will definitely book another vacation with Go Ahead Tours and hopefully I get Stefania again as my tour director."
“Dear Traveler, thank you for leaving us an online review! We appreciate your feedback regarding tipping. We do provide guidelines for standard tipping on our website's FAQs but we ultimately leave it up to the traveler so they can use their discretion to raise or lower those amounts if warranted! We are so glad that this trip was a dream come true for you and we hope to see you on another Go Ahead tour soon! ”
"This trip was fantastic! The only changes I'd make was the location of the hotel in Hamburg and skip the river cruise in Hamburg and tour the war memorial church. "

"Absolutely amazing trip. We covered all of Egypt's famous sights including the pyramids, sphinx, Alexandria, a cruise and a felucca ride on the Nile River, the magnificent temples of Karnak, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, and the world wonder that is Abu Simbel. We felt safe and well-cared for our entire trip. I highly recommend it. Thanks Go Ahead for the great memories and experience!!"
“Hi Steffan! We are delighted that you felt real ease on our Egyptian tour. We want our guests to get the most out of their vacations so we take care of all the hassles that can be associated to traveling and we just leave 2 things for our guests to do: relax and enjoy. It's a real pleasure to have read your feedback, thank you!”
"A great trip with wonderful guides. Our only issue was that it took 3 flights to get to Greece from Baltimore (via Atlanta and Amsterdam) and 3 flights to get back (via Rome and Detroit). I contacted the tour company about re-routing us to fly out of Dulles or Reagan National (both with direct flights to Athens) but they were not accommodating, indicating it would be cost-prohibitive."
“Dear Traveler,
We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing time with Go Ahead Tours! We are sorry to hear that the flight arrangements did not meet your expectations. Please keep in mind that in order to keep the flight prices reasonable for our travelers, sometimes it means that you may end up with a longer route than booking independently, which you absolutely can do. Despite this, we are glad to read that you had an unforgettable experience and hope to see you on another Go Ahead tour soon!

"The tour was fantastic and Gorggio was the best guide! We were a group of 10 and having almost everything planned for us meant that we could just enjoy being with each other. The tour set up was amazing and was everything we expected and more.
our only complaints would be the initial set up of flights that could not be accommodated, and that most of the restaurants air conditioning really was just hot air. So we won't be going back in July. All in all it was a great trip!
"
“Dear Megan, we are so thrilled to hear you had a great time visiting these beautiful countries! We are also happy to read that Gorggio made you feel at ease so you could focus on having fun and taking in the sights. We hope you came home with wonderful memories and see you again soon!”
