"Great experience. I will definitely book with Go Ahead again. Excellent trip leader, Betsi. Excellent coach driver, Jason."

"We liked everything about the tour. The tour director was excellent, always thinking ahead and providing us with options. Also a great sense of humor. The hotels had great locations, couldn't have asked for better. Accommodations were very good, no complaints. Food was also very good. The options and included sites made for an individualized experience that was greatly appreciated. We are already signed up for our next trip on Go Ahead Tours!"

"This tour was a wonderful cultural experience. Our tour directors were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and humorous--each helped us understand history as well as current national issues and people's living standards. We saw beautiful sites, historic and religious sites, as well as modern cities and some primative villages. All of our accommodations were first rate and included food was excellent. Tour participants should be prepared for extensive walking including many steps

"This was my first trip over seas and I was nervous about it at first. From the start Go Ahead made it a great experience. We had the best tour director "Ayesha" and coach drivers "Colyn and Ian". They made the trip even more amazing. Ayesha went above and beyond to ad extra little touches and make sure everyone was taken care of. I would highly recommend Go Ahead. I am already working on my next trip with them!!"

"This trip was educational, appropriately pace, and full of options. "

"All countries were experiencing a heat wave. Most hotels except Ireland - Limerick had air and pool closed very early!! :( . Our tour dir. Paul was great! Not too much talking, but good info. The hotels were positioned well except Shepherd's Bush was a few connections on the Tube to get back, but good restaurants and shopping in the area, just a little shady at night. We stayed in Dingle, but should be in Kilarney for the ring of Kerry. Dingle took you on windy roads too far just to get to hotel (excellent hotel, but too far). We traveled same winding before and after ring day. WAY too much time on the bus!! I wish this tour was reversed. Sad that the Cliffs of M were foggy and not visible. Food was good. Same full English breakfast each day. Dinners were great also...especially Italian restaurant in Scotland! This is the 3rd Go ahead tour and have been to these places before, but enjoyed learning and seeing new things. Loved the train to Scotland. I will go back on my own and get off in York, Duram and one other place. It was a great overview making it easier to go back on your own. Restroom stops are at the top of the list for these tours, so not to worry. If you go to London get a Tourist Oyster card...saves tons of money on bus and tube. (you have to get it before you leave the states)"

"My first group tour, can't wait for the next! I was immersed in Ancient Grecian history throughout this journey. Today and stepping back 3500 years ago is indescribable. Take the tour and request Dionisio Altamura as your guide!"

"We went with two neighbors, Fred and Trish Jarrell. Had a fantastic time! Even though we saw and experienced everything, the experience wasn’t rushed. Our tour guide, Tom Quinn, was fun, knowledgeable and did I mention fun? He was very attentive to each and every person in our group and wanted to make sure we had an experience of a lifetime. Can’t wait to go on another adventure with GoAhead! "

"The Greek Islands Tour was absolutely amazing! Through the entire tour we were emersed in Greek culture and history. We all enjoyed the different archeological sites we explored, and the excursions were some of our favorite experiences. Make sure you add the Chania excursion on Crete, it is not to be missed!"

"Breathtaking amazing sites! Clean country with warm and inviting people and great food with a very complete and unrushed itinerary. We had a wonderful tour guide, Sean, who was very knowledgeable and entertaining and kept the tour running smoothly. We appreciated all the extras he arranged for us like the jaunting car ride, (included in previous itineraries but removed by Go Ahead so we had to pay for it but it was worth it) and the Connemara Marble factory tour. Our driver, Frank, was thoughtful, helpful and also an amazing driver. The hotels were all good except the Maldron Sandy Road in Galway which was located way too far from the heart of the city. The walking tour didn't happen there and for some reason the walking tour in Dublin also didn't transpire which we found disappointing. We did have a bus tour in Dublin but didn't enjoy it very much as it was very difficult to see what was being pointed out and we wasted time in Phoenix park standing around being encouraged to buy ice cream instead of seeing places like Trinity College. We can't recommend the excursion to the Traditional Irish Dinner & Dance show as the meal was the only disappointing one we had and there were only 2 young girls dancing.
All in all it was a great trip. We were treated very well and it was very refreshing and relaxing.

"Very educational in scope. Visited beautiful castles and amazing museums. I learned a lot."

"This was a wonderful trip and fairly active tour. The cities and villages were beautiful, the food and wine were delicious. Being on tour made it so easy to relax and enjoy the vacation without having to plan transportation or find hotels. Our tour director, Sabra, was one in a million. She was very accommodating to all our needs, knew the history, and culture of ever place we visited. I would highly recommend traveling with her. Great trip!"

"Exceeded all expectations regarding lodging, safaris, guides, food, and the overall experience. The wildlife was mind-blowing!"

"The tour director was amazing! He had great information to share with us. He kept us on track. The sites we visited were well structured and added to the experience. It was a memorable trip!"

"The onset of our trip was a true delight. Upon arriving and meeting our animated guide, Paul we were directed to our hotel room to deposit our belongings and prepare for some self exploring of London city. We were later directed to a quaint pub for some ‘fish n chips’ and libations. The tours and excursions were golden experiences, learning of historical landmarks, and meeting the most interesting travel companions. Unfortunately I encountered a medical interruption upon our arrival to Scotland. I am sharing this note because I want to encourage other travelers to purchase the trip insurance prior to travel. I am a healthy 60 year old, and had prepared months in advance for the journey. While on travel, I experienced a medical set back, which required 2 visits to the emergency room while in Edinburgh, Scotland. Paul was so gracious and caring, making arrangements on my behalf, all the while keeping the tour in motion. Thankfully I also had family on this tour, and they were able to be with me while in hospital. Go Ahead arranged my flight back to the United States, and made it possible for my family to rejoin the tour in Dublin. Unfortunately I had to abandon this tour, however my aunt sent lovely photos while I received the necessary medical attention, and recouperation at home. My thanks for a wonderful and safe experience. Susie Patterson "
