"This was truly the best "To Heather.....I love you a lot, Heather" gifts I have given myself.

The experience was a true adventure from the beginning to the end. Early on I came to the conclusion I could never drive in Africa. I was a bit nervous at first. I gave up that notion right away and settled in to trusting my drivers abilities to conquer the rough roads. I came prepared for the rough roads bringing an inflatable cushion. It made my trip more comfortable over the two weeks I was there.

My guides, Domonic and James made my trip. They were the keystone to my remarkable Safari. They looked after driving and being our guides. Our wishes was their command. James, for example, even found us a snake eating bird capturing and eating a snake after Mitzi asked for what we a thought was the impossible. They made sure each day was more memorable than the one before. They shared history of the country and animals. There was a lot of laughter onboard our vehicle. My pictures were amazing. People at home cannot believe we saw so many animals. My delight was finding cats in trees.

I had the vacation of a lifetime. They were the best ambassadors of Africa. I left with the best memories.

Thank you Go Ahead Tours

"Excursion canceled; no refund yet! It's been 3 months & I just can't seem to get it out of them. They owe us $150. I have made 2 phone calls & I am getting the run around. The air scheduling was bad in that it took us about 30 hours to get there. Do your own airfares and scheduling. The tour director was excellent, food was excellent, all but a couple of the hotels were excellent, the two others were just mediocre and other excursions were excellent. Bus transportation on excursions was excellent using new buses that were clean, comfortable and efficient."

"Go Ahead, you did it again! Our recent trip to Costa Rica was fantastic. From the beautiful hotels (even eco-friendly), to the exciting tours, everything was perfect. How often are you awakened to the sounds of monkeys and birds calling to each other? Or monkeys waiting on the roof to greet you? So fun!!! Our next hotel view was of the Arenal Volcano... spectacular! Our Night Tour brought us sightings of sloths, tarantulas, brightly colored frogs and toucans! We saw three! (Should we call them “ThreeCans”?)

We enjoyed our tour guide, Edgar, very much. Friendly, cordial and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed his insights about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. He was lots of fun.

A word about our fellow travelers... Wonderful! We all had so much fun together. They were such a flexible, fun and outgoing group of people. We spent our last evening together until very late, talking, laughing and reminiscing. No one wanted to leave. We have found Go Ahead travelers to be fun people - ready to experience the best of the area they’re visiting, but also willing to take on some of the uncomfortable parts as well. We encountered our share of rain, but everyone was prepared for a trip to the rain forest and cloud forest and enjoyed every bit of it.

This was our second Go Ahead Tour. We will be back for a third very soon.

"Our trip from beginning to end was one of our most incredible, fascinating, learning experiences of all of our travels. Exploring the capital cities Warsaw, Budapest , Bratislava, Prague and Vienna leaves travelers speechless and wanting more. Our guide could not have been better!"

"I have found Go Ahead Tours to be fabulous on the two tours that I have taken with them so far. Another one booked already for the Spring. Courteous, knowledgeable, friendly right from the initial booking to finally heading home and saying goodbye to the tour director. It makes for a very stress free vacation. Hotels are great, dining is always fun at the restaurants that are picked for us. Sights and excursions are wonderful."

"This was my first solo vacation tour. In the past I have traveled the world extensively for business and often with friends. I was disappointed in the choice of supplemental tours offered. I felt that places like Ayers Rock should have included supplemental tours to ride camels and star gazing. I only found out about this after- that is one of the reasons to join a tour group. They are supposed to do the research. Additionally, a last minute change left us with ah very boring busied threw the outback w/o wi-fi or even a decent bathroom on the bus. This is not acceptable to me. The hotel in Sydney was ridiculous - they give you a note stating that because of their poor installation of smoke detectors they may go off if you keep the bathroom door open while you shower. If the alarm goes off you will have to pay them $150. That is not the hotel standard a tour group should use. They also did to provide washcloths- every other hotel we stayed out did that. The tour guide was very good- However i do not think I will ever use this tour company again.

"The trip was a wonderful experience."

"First of all, our tour director Emilio was not much of help. During our free stay he never suggested on where or what to do for us clueless travelers. The worst one when we found out our paid excursion was cancelled and we could have signed up for the Versailles right away if we have known earlier. He doesn’t converse with us and looks like he’s looking ahead of the next tour rather than taking care of us. What made me more mad is the farewell dinner in Barcelona which happen to be a nice place and tool late for us to enjoy. He could at least suggested this area for us to explore rather than us figuring out where to dine or hang out. Not please with this last tour.

"It was good thought it was too fast of pace information needs improved and need more help with luggage better hotels"

"Love GoAhead, their attention to detail and all of their staff, from the Customer Service to the tour guides and Tour Directors - I have always had a good experience with them!"

"I went to very interested places that were easy to understand because of the knowledge of the guide. I also have had plenty time to do my own things like shopping and go to places I chose. Everithing was very good. Exept for a comment that I hear from the guia. It was sad to know that a knoleadgeable person as he is do not have salary and have to make from the tips. Anyway in a near future I hope to make another trip with Go Ahead tours.
Thanks"

"Our trip was wonderful! The hotel locations were right in the center of the action (except for Tralee) and walkable to all the city sights and sounds. Our tour director, Cathel, is a former history teacher which was a plus for us. During the journey I lost my cell phone and Cathel, through individual contacts of his, was able to arrange for people he knew to pick it up at a restaurant in the west of Ireland and deliver it to our hotel in Dublin 5 days later. That is what we call going above and beyond the call of duty! We will travel with Go Ahead again in future."

"I have always enjoyed my travels with Go Ahead. One meets interesting people, It is a nice mixture of young and older travelers, the tours have a nice balance of included tours and free time.
The hotels are nice and usually centrally located or close to public transportation. The tour guides are very knowledgeable. The local guides speak English fluently."

"Picked Mexico tour for Diego river and Frida Kahlo. Bonus was Baroque Museum in Puebla. New museum and worth missing an optional. Ruins were good. We were impressed with Mexico. "

"I choose the London and Paris tour and I absolutely loved it! Not only was the tour itself amazing but, GoAhead tours was amazing to work with. Payments are easy to make, everything is set up for you from plane to rides from the airport, hotels, tour guides, tour directors, buses etc. Inclusions may be different for each tour but I would highly recommend GoAhead tours to any traveler."
