"Our experience on the the tour was good .I would have preferred to be closer to central London rather than the outskirts of the city.But I would have to say our location was good .We were very closed to the Tower of London which was exciting to see.I do have to say the our tour guide Mathew was very good , witty , funny , informative and very helpful my wife and I and my sister and brother in law was very pleased with his enthusiasm with his work And I would have to say that all of the tour guides were excellent and the drivers were very good also.We hope to be able to plan another trip go ahead will be ahead of our list of tours to pick from "

"Wonderful, knowledgeable tour leader, excellent local guides, great hotels and meals. Well planned daily activities at a comfortable pace. "

"I very much enjoyed this tour especially due to the excellence of a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide,Warwick Driscoll. His partnership with Frank, our driver, was key to enjoying the tour. I did feel a bit rushed at times,however. The Maritime Museum was disappointing and did not leave us enough time to enjoy a leisurely lunch nor to explore the town. I do feel on that particular day that arriving at the hotel 30 - 45 minutes later would have been okay if it allowed us more time to explore. This is the reason I am rating the tour a 4 instead of 5. "

"This tour is a great experience if it’s your first time visiting Europe, it leaves you wanting to return to explore more. The hotels were all great and located near all the major sights. The tour director Susy Madge was awesome, very knowledgeable and made the tour a great experience, she was able to guide us to places to go, how to use public transportation and made sure nobody was lost or confused. Tour was fast paced so don’t expect much downtime ( well you can have it but there will be no time to explore the cities). There was so much to see, do and take in and very little time to do it, but it left me wanting to come back.
The benefit of the tour is that we skipped the lines at the Vatican and coliseum, we were in in under 30 min, whereas the general public had to wait several hours in line to get in. There were non serious issues on the trip, I never once felt unsafe, even when navigating through the cities on our free time.
You do need to plan in advance what you want to see in each city just so that you make good use of your time there. In London get the London pass ( Costco has an awesome deal on it), in Paris the metro makes going everywhere easy. In Rome and Madrid use taxis for travel as pickpockets are more prevalent in the metro there.
Overall it’s a great tour and I do plan on use it Go Ahead again in the future.

Only thing I did not enjoy was the 10 hour direct flight to London, it was quite uncomfortable being in plane for that long."

"unforgettable experience, accommodations, the different tours within the tour, it was incredible. our tourist guide waa a blessings, he did the best for us . What great human being !! thanks Bojan M."

"We had a grand time! We visited Ireland, Scotland and England. We enjoyed Dublin, Belfast, and the Giant's Causeway. We also enjoyed Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cumbria and Stratford Upon-Avon. One of my favorite places was Glendalough. I had never been there before and it was a wonderful place to see. The Titanic Belfast Museum was fascinating and new. It opened in 2012. The voyage across the Irish Sea was a new experience. We explored Stirling Castle and saw the Falkirk Wheel. Edinburgh is probably my favorite place on the face of the planet! Finally, I got to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The Queen wasn't due to arrive there for another week. The Edinburgh Castle, Sir Walter Scotts house, Rosslyn Chapel are all wonderful places to visit. Of coarse, the Lake District is always a great place to visit as well. Loved seeing the Beatrix Potter house and the Lakeland Motor Museum. The Coventry Transport Museum and the British Motor Museum were both interesting and I had never been there before. Warwick Castle is always a fun place to visit and we climbed up to the top of the castle. I realize that I won't be able to do that forever. I enjoyed it. While in Stratford-upon-Avon, we took in a showing of Macbeth. We got the last tickets that had been turned in a few short minutes before we asked about seeing the show. Very lucky! It was a really wonderful trip with a great tour guide and everyone was congenial and kind. "

"It was a very nice tour. I had been to a few of the places before was anxious to see how much they had changed. Was surprised as they had changed a lot. Liked Budapest the best and was disappointed that the hotel in Austria had no AC."

"The London-Paris tour was excellent for a first time visitor or seasoned visitor! They offered many great excursions that allowed you to tour more of the cities with the ease of a guided tour. If you preferred, you could skip the excursions, and you'd have plenty of time to explore on your own. I love how Go Ahead brings the group together at the start and the end of the tour. Our tour guide, Lexi, was very helpful and fun!"

"This tour was fantastic! We saw so much. Stayed in very nice places. Ate awesome food. Be in good shape to take this tour and able to do lots of walking! Guided by knowledgable people. A true group of professionals."

"Had a great time. We had a traveler get hurt on the trip. Sean Collins the guide and Go Ahead did an excellent job of getting a Dr. going to the ER. Job Well done."

"Started out in Athens, spent 2 days in Mykonos, two days in Santorini, back to Athens and finished up in Rome. "

"This was a very interesting trip. I went there to see an Asian country because I needed to go to that continent to help me finish my goal, but I also went to see what the ex-pats are seeing by living there.
The Baht is a lot cheaper then the dollar, the food was very reasonable, the bus and driver were outstanding, Mr. Tony was our tour guide and he was just the best...he went above and beyond to keep our very active, change our minds, demanding group with suggestions, taking us to a market that we all wanted to see, and just everything. Mr. Tony knew his history, his country, and his people and man can he eat fried insects...like popcorn!!!
Helpful hints: wear cotton or linen clothing, bring electrolyte tablets, ginger or travel sickness in case you are not use to great food and being on a bus, hats to cover head or buy one there, and be sure you do some research on their food, just to give you some comfort, last bring high denominator money like $100.00 bill's, the higher the bill the better the exchange rate. By the way you can take 2 suitcases in and bring 2 suitcases out with you...imagine the items you can buy.
Be adventurous with it all and the trip is then just the best...WE had an especially fun and great group that made a great trip even better.

"Paula Harrigan was a fabulous tour director! This was her 1st tour with EF/Go Ahead, but her previous experiences were a plus!
She went above & beyond to see that our group was cohesive & that we ALL enjoyed the trip.
Extraordinary extras & excursions! Do it all! The extension to Fiji was phenomenal! An awesome way to end the trip with a sunny, tropical setting & warm weather!"

"this is the second time we have gone a GO AHEAD TOUR, and it was so amazing!! We love the fact that we do not have to deal with all the headaches that would occur when trying to get in as much as the tour has to offer!! Thank you for all the hard work!! We will be back,"

"We recently returned from the Highlights of Eastern Europe tour, and though the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for, our exceptional guide, Lala Rasulova, added so much more to this experience. She was very knowledgeable about each country and site we visited, and even recommended books and websites for us to find further information. On the days that we chose not to do the optional excursions, she gave us ideas on what to do in the city we were visiting, and even mapped out the directions and best modes of transportation. Her personality and spirit gave us all the opportunity to experience cultures through her eyes as well as those who live there. Her knowledge of the history of each country/city was unmatched by any tour guide we have had in the past. Also, we appreciated the amount of free time that was built into the tour, giving us the opportunity to explore on our own."
