"It was amazing. I had so much fun! "

"Since discovering Go Ahead Tours in 2014, I have had four very enjoyable and educational tour experiences each successive year with Go Ahead.
Beginning with Food & Wine: France Through Burgundy & Champagne ( 2014 ), Food & Wine: France Through Bordeaux & The Loire Valley (2015 ), then Highlights of England, Scotland, & Ireland ( 2016 ), my most recent Go Ahead experience was Food & Wine: Southern Italy & Sicily
( June, 2017 ). In addition to the wonderful experiences, each tour director was very considerate/helpful, knowledgeable, and professional.

"Beautiful trip viewing the mountains with a great tour guide and bus driver; sharing experiences with 28 others on the tour."

"Wonderful experience with Go Ahead Tours. The guide was very knowledgable, courteous and fun to be with. Go Ahead guide was very attentive to the entire groups needs. Highly Recommend!"

"Overall excellent. Good hotel accommodations, excursions were good with one particular that was fantastic, tour leader did a great job. This was our 4th Go Ahead Tour, looking forward to a 5th......"

"Our 4 Go Ahead tours have all been fabulous! Guides are super -- just as good as on tours that cost twice as much! You don't pay for extra meals or excursions that you don't want, and the lodging and transportation are always excellent! Friendly, super people!"

"I cannot say enough good things about GoAhead Tours.

I was never really a fan of guided tours because I always thought they were kind of cheesy. You're walking around in a big group... you have no choice but to look like a tourist. But honestly, after our trip to Italy last year... GAT has completely changed my outlook on it. One that I have shared with many of my friends/family already. Sure, you do still migrate around in groups... but they way they do it is very smart. Our tour guides were always incredibly knowledgeable about everything in the area, be it our personal guide (Katia... who was INCREDIBLE), or one of the local guides assisting in that particular area.

The biggest difference is that they don't guide you out and then back to your hotel. They show you everything, and then leave you to your own devices out in the middle of town... so you get to go back and revisit any areas on your own, or explore other areas unseen, or if you so choose... you can head back to the hotel. But its smart because being left in the middle of town gives you the motivation to stay out and explore. If they were to lead you back to your hotel and leave you there.... chances are, most people would stay in and not go back out. The other thing is that there is PLENTY of free time. You're not locked into being in a group the whole time. So, there is ample opportunity to make your own personal experience on location.

The other thing that is fantastic is that you really don't have to worry about anything once you get there. They take care of moving your luggage from location to location. You don't do any loading or lugging once you leave the airport. They make sure that each transition is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Our driver (Armando) can drive me around anytime. That guy got that bus through some places I wouldn't try to take a Vespa!

Aside from the actual tour experience, their customer service is outstanding. My wife and I had already booked our 2nd trip with Go Ahead, and unfortunately had to re-schedule. Marissa Z helped me out with the re-booking of our tour and was incredibly accommodating and helpful. SO grateful!

Truth be told... when my wife first told me that she booked the Italy trip last year, I was miserable at the thought of going on a group tour. But after our tour, and after my experience with their CS... I don't know if there is any other way we will travel. If we ever have some place we think about going... we now look to see if Go Ahead has a tour there."

"Go Ahead tours is consistently a cut above in ensuring that you see all the highlights of a tour destination, with exceptional guides. We have travelled over 10 times with the groups and have done more, seen more, than most other competitors. Highly recommend this company. "

"Guide Tour: excellent.
Hotel: Horrible. It was under refurbishing and Go Ahead did not notify us about it. Bad business policy. I was disgusted.
Tours: very good."

"This is our 2nd Go Ahead tour. The best feature of both was the tour director. She made a couple of detours (by acclamation) which were really special. Taking into account the age of the tourists, she made it a point to stop somewhere every couple of hours for stretching and toilets. She also provided movies to coincide with places we were to visit.

As far as the tour goes, the itinerary was excellent. We covered lots of ground and saw awesome sights. The optional tours were very good.

At least one hotel was unsatisfactory; the remainder were great. The food (breakfasts and some dinners) were very good.

One minor complaint; Some stops were longer than necessary (Walls Drug). I would have preferred shorter stops and getting to our hotel sooner.

I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a good feel for our National Parks."

"My wife and I took the South American trip to Rio de Janeiro, Igauzu Falls, and Buenos Aires. The highlights at each stop were marvelous, from Sugarloaf Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, the natural wonder that is Igauza Falls (about 250 waterfalls in a nature preserve), and the sophisticated and cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, often referred to as the "Paris of South America." Our guide through the tour, Emiliano, was knowledgeable, courteous, and very accommodating for everyone on the tour. Our local guides -- Eduardo in Rio and Rotendo at Igauzu (Emiliano is from Buenos Aires), knew their areas like the back of their hands and were able to provide useful information as well as answer all of our questions. We've take two memorable Go Ahead tours to Europe, and this time we wanted to experience our South American neighbors. We kinda wished we had gone on to the Machu Picchu and Amazon River extension. Maybe next time. For those who haven't been to South America, it's worth the adventure."

"I was nervous about taking a solo trip. GoAhead was perfect for it! Being on a tour with most of the plans and details already organized, I had more time to focus on enjoying myself rather than worrying about the next step. I was able to enjoy group moments and made new friends but also had plenty of time to enjoy solo adventures and exploration. My tour guide was so knowledgeable and helped me find ideas for the free time we had in each city and also helped me pair up with other travelers with similar plans. I would definitely recommend GoAhead to anyone interested in seeing new places with low stress. I plan to book with them again."

"We had a great time and didn't have to worry about anything !!!"

"We booked the Grand Tour of Italy with Rome Extension for our 20th Anniversary- and we were not disappointed! Our Tour Director Francesco was personable, humble and was spot-on with every single restaurant or free time reactivity recommendation! We enjoyed this trip so much from a history perspective and time spent with local guides- which was way beyond our expectations. We're home with a new found appreciation for the people and many towns of Italy- we had a fabulous time!"

"Our Australian adventure was perfect with every day an adventure! Ronan, our Tour Director, was so knowledgeable and organized. He made sure everyone in our group felt important. We were also lucky to have wonderful people traveling with us that all got along. It felt like we were traveling with family. This trip had it all from city tours, educational times, tiny penguins, hot air balloons, koalas & kangaroos, Uluru, dinner cruise, Sydney opera house, etc. Ronan even made sure I got my camel ride!
