"From start to finish I was amazed by the knowledge Patricia, our tour guide, had about Ireland. It was my first trip alone, overseas, and with GoAhead and I plan on using GoAhead again!"

"I truely enjoyed the intire trip. I saw so many incredible sights and have unforgettable memories of London, Rome and Italy. And also I am impressed by our tour guide Mr Steel Wallis. He was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about everything.
"

"A most excellent tour, with a very good mix of visiting ancient Roman sites (such as Pompeii, Ostia Antica, Colosseum), Italian Renaissance centres (such as Florence, Vatican Museum, Venice), and contemporary settings (Como, Capri, Sorrento), plus Tuscan and Umbrian wine tastings. The different styles of well-appointed hotels, and their locations, was well appreciated.

I can't speak highly enough about our tour guide, Tamara: knowledgeable, attentive, always caring about details and the group as a whole and individually. She is a real gem for Go Ahead Tours! She became a real friend for all of us in our tour group.

I could only wish that there would have been more, and other locations visited on our tour, since Italy has such a vast history in the development of Western art, architecture, and Western civilization as a whole (we did spend some very rewarding time in Milan on our own when we arrived in Italy (e.g.: Milan Cathedral, da Vinci's 'Last Supper'), since it was not part of the tour), but that would have made the tour package quite a bit longer... and more expensive (!).

Overall, we had a great time. We already miss our Campari spritzes we enjoyed most days! I came back with well over 3,000 photos; reducing those to an acceptable number for sharing with others is proving a challenge!! "

"From the moment I landed to the sad ending that it was over the trip was magnificent! Ildi our tour director went out of her way to be sure we all were well taken care of, telling us the best way to get to places that were not on the schedule and arranging extra events if we would like to sign up for which we did and they were excellent. She also showed us how to buy tickets for the metro, where to start and stop, take the buses, trams and cabs if needed. Her knowledge of the history added so much to the trip. She was so pleasant and we really enjoyed her company also.
Our group couldn't have been better (32), very congenial, kind and never late for the bus. We will keep in touch.

My favorite places were Budapest and Salzburg. Each city we went to had its own history and uniqueness to them. They were beautiful and so interesting! Would like to go back and enjoy more.

We had plenty of time to enjoy each city on our own and during the group tours.

Loved the trip and would recommend to my friends and family and for sure I would go with Go Ahead Tours again."

"I always like GoAhead tours. Very good organization and good service. "

"This is a great way to get a taste for this area, however you only get a brief peek into the 4 countries on a 14 day tour and most of that time was spent in the 4 capital cities. I liked Norway the best because we stayied 2 nights in Bergen - fishing town, ferried to the fjords, took a train ride into the mountains and walked the town (best fresh fish). The rest of the trip was to Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki. Lots of museums, royal palaces and city halls/parliament. But they start to run together by the end of the trip. Lot of time in lines at airports and the two overnight ferry trips. No one told us that big suitcases were not allowed on the ferry , so we had to use our carry on bags for these overnights. The hotel in Copenhagen was a beautiful Marriott, however there were 60 steps up to a Main Street with restaurants or a long walk into the heart of the city for dinner. In Helsinki, if you don't take the excursion to Tallin (where I had already gone on another vacation) there was nothing to do at the hotel, guide was busy with the side trip and made no suggestions. To get to the stores/cafes was a 25- 30 minute walk or a cab ride of about 15 euros each way. My final conclusion, the trip was enjoyable and I would definitely go back and explore more of Norway. Btw food was good everywhere and local dishes should definitely be tried - and the bread!!"

"Initially I was worried about taking a trip alone but after stalking numerous tour groups I finally hit the “book” button with Go Ahead Tours. I am so glad I did. Every minute was wonderful. The tour director, Stephania was so organized and knowledgeable I never had a minute of apprehension. All I had to do after arriving in Barcelona was have a great time. The company impressed the heck out of me. They sent one of their execs to go with us. This is apparently required of them so they can “experience the product”. Matts was great too. He fit right in.

I was concerned also about being left out as a single traveler but no need to worry. There were several and the rest of our group was a great bunch of folks. One lady said it was her 11th tour with “Go Ahead”. I can certainly see why. I can’t wait for my next one.

As for the tour itself; it was wonderful. We had just enough time at every stop. I was totally worn out by the end but also very happy. I took all of the excursions and I suggest you do too. I also did the extension to Rome. I felt like I might not come this way again, so I wanted to see and do everything possible. Just a wonderful experience and just what I needed to end my fear of traveling alone. I was never by myself after hitting the arrival gate (unless I wanted to be)"

"Comprehensive tour but hotel locations in Tokyo and Kyoto were poor. Tour Director (an independent contractor) did speak English but was difficult to understand)"

"I cannot day enough good things about Go Ahead Tours or my tour guide Matt Billet. The itinerary of the trip was perfect for my mother and myself and allowed us a chance to see each country we visited to be fulfilling and memorable. The ease of booking and options offered take a lot of worry and stress off of you and allow you to really be in the moment. My mother had been dreaming of this trip for years and I am so grateful to Go Ahead for helping me make this dream come true. Matt was our tour guide and he was amazing! His knowledge was crucial to helping us get around during our leisure time and his recommendations on sights and restaurants were always on point. He was always attentive and everywhere we went as a group or solo I felt safe and knew that he was available for any questions or concerns I may have had. I will definitely book again with Go Ahead and hope to Have Matt as a tour guide again. If you book with this company you are sure to have an amazing trip!"

"We were delighted with Go Ahead. Our guide, Paz, was amazing. "

"Fast pace,wonderful experience. Beautiful cities! The local guides were wonderful pulling you into the history of their area. Paul the tour director was great at being flexible. The added excursions were awesome that he suggested! Mike the Czech driver took great care of us when the bus had a flat tire on an expressway safely.
It was our 5th Go Ahead tour and we already booked our next one for 2019."

"This trip was fantastic! The guide was extremely knowledgeable. There was a lot tour bus riding but we saw so much of the country. The camel ride excursion was really fun. Some of the days were long with touring but we didn't go to lay on the beach! Would highly recommend this tour!"

"Excellent trip, well planned and even better executed by Luke, our tour guide. Accommodations were great too. I will use Go Ahead Tours for future trips."

"My tour of Scotland and Ireland via Go Ahead Tours 'Landscapes of Scotland and Ireland' was everything I hoped it would be. The countryside lived up to all my expectations, our tour guide was amazing, there was free time, the attractions were paid for and the meals were amazing. I loved every minute."

"It was a once in a lifetime trip."
