"Our first with Go Ahead and it was a phenomenal vacation!! Loved it so much we have booked another!! The tours were amazing!! Everything moved seamlessly with no unnecessary wait times. OUr tour director Ildico was absolutely incredibley the best, making it fun, looking after everyone’s needs and sharing her wealth of knowledge!!! Our driver Martin, from Poland, got us everywhere safely and on time!! Great driver!! There were a few small things that we would have preferred differently. When we ate meals that we had purchased as part of an excursion with a Go Ahead, we were limited to only one small (and I’d say it was only 3-4 oz) of wine with the meal. If we wanted more, we had to purchase it separately which most of us did. I feel since those meals/excursions were not inexpensive, that a larger or at least 2 glasses of wine be given per guest. It is Europe after all where the wine is plentiful and extremely inexpensive. As an example, in Budapest we purchased phenomenal wine for our room at approximately $4.00 a bottle Canadian. It was discussed by many in the group that this was an issue. The small glass we were given didn’t make it past the appetizer! Also,,,the hotel in Warsaw although lovely, the meal provided by Go Ahead was a disappointment. It was a buffet which resembled North American cuisine. We were in Poland and there was no Polish food being served in the buffet which was a disappointment to all of us. The hotel in Prague was extremely tired with only 2 elevators that were extremely slow. Aside from these things mentioned, I’d say the trip was absolutely phenomenal!! We really enjoyed the variety, the knowledge shared, the group on the bus and of course, our tour director!!! We can’t wait for the next trip!!"

"Have nothing but goood to say about the tours we have taken. Very well done and the guides and company is always willing to listen to concerns of their travelers. "

"Joan and I spent 14 days on a Go Ahead Tour to Athens and the Islands. Our hotel in Athens was breathtaking and the tours and free time well spent. The Islands of Mykonos , Santorini,and Crete were beautiful, educational, and fun. The hotels were excellnt, the food delicious, and you had free time to do what you wanted with no pressure to sign up for tours. We had a terrific time with excellent accommodations, good food, and a guide who cared about you and worked hard to assure your happiness and safety. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour and Go Ahead to any would be traveler."

"Our vacation was awesome. Group was small & friendly.Our tour guide was knowledgeable, helpful & made the trip simply perfect. We wished we had more time on this A+ tour..Highly recommend."

"Fantastic. Everything was arranged, it all was on schedule. Very nice people in the group. Great cross section of Americans, had a Canadian couple, had two Persian couples (Iranian) and a fantastic German guide. We learned a lot of the history (not from books) by the people (city guides/location guides) whose families were from those regions. Vistas were aweinspiring. I will have to say that the different snitzels we had in Europe were not as good as what we cook at home. I had a rouladen there that was not as good as my mothers (we came from Bremerhaven). Had some pasteries that were to die for. The accomadations were very nice in all the locations. Everywhere we went, we made sure to interact with some of the locals. Europeans are very nice, very blunt (do not be offended). We had such a good time with GoAhead Tours, we have already booked a tour for Ireland"

"Highly recommend this tour beautiful scenery wonderful food great wine and awesome tour director, marcello"

"Go A Head Tour was more than an exceptional experience. The tour guides are always attentive to your entire tour experience. The tour was a flowing process designed to give the attending traveler an unforgettable travel experience. Through out the Go A Head tour, referring to the colorful brochure, the tour was as the brochure
showed the tour experience would be.

Thank you for a wonderful life experience , that will be with me always

"Our tour guide was terrific. The right number of additional travelers. Not over booked. Go Ahead Tours was professional and responsive. "

"Overall, this was a great trip and an exceptional value. It would be nearly impossible to arrange all of the transfers, admissions to historic sites and places of interest, and local guides to assist you, if you were to organize a trip like this on your own. My wife, my sister-in-law and I had a fine time and would recommend Go Ahead Tours to anyone wishing to visit Europe.

This particular trip - to Lisbon, Seville and Madrid - was very well paced, allowing ample time in each of the three cities we visited to relax, shop, dine, and wander. The accommodations were good in Lisbon, right downtown. Similarly, they were good – exceptional really – in Seville, very well-appointed and close to the city center. We were disappointed with the hotel in Madrid however, mostly because it was not close to the city center.

Overall, the meals provided by Go Ahead were very good. I’d go so far as to say we’d prefer a trip with more meals included, since we spent a fair amount of time looking for (and disagreeing about!) places to eat.

The sites we visited were unique and special. At each, we were met by a local guide and most of these people were very good, knowledgeable and practiced. We especially enjoyed our optional excursions to Cordoba and Toledo, picturesque cities with remarkable histories.

Our tour director “Blanca” was friendly and knowledgeable, and helped us when we had a problem with ATMs in Portugal. She was a resource, as well as someone familiar with the tour route and its points of interest. Similarly, the people we traveled with were friendly and approachable and we developed a camaraderie with them during out ten days together. I thank them.

BTW, we recommend you consider flying with Go Ahead. It is more expensive, so we booked our own airfare and we were bumped from our flight between Madrid and Lisbon. It was a major headache and almost derailed the trip before it even started! "

"We saw many parks in a short period of time, driving 2,200 miles in 10 days. Obviously, we had many hours on the bus and early start times.

"Excellent trip except for one thing. Our initial reception at the Venice airport. We had to drag/carry our luggage for a very long way to the water taxi. The young lady who met us did not explain how far it was nor offered any assistance to anyone. There should have been a motorized transport from the airport to the water taxi.

The balance of the trip was great. Stephanie was a very good guide with excellent knowledge of history and the geography we visited. All sites were covered with excellent side excursions offered and we took advantage of most of them.

I would recommend "Go Ahead" tours to anyone. We are planning another trip in 2019 and will be talking with Go Ahead Tours for that trip."

"Lovely scenery, very good food and a delightful and informative tour guide.
Our entire experience, including non-stop flights, all met or exceeded our expectations.
Only wish there was more time to spend in Colmar, France."

"The time spent in Switzerland could not be beat. The Alps and valleys were a color you never see anywhere else.
"

"Our tour guide, Mathieu, was excellent! We enjoyed all the sites visited and learned a lot of history.
More than met our expectations."
