"I was stuck inside my comfort zone, until getting to know everyone. Our guide put me at ease. I was able to to start enjoying my time away from home and experience the cultures of different countries. The motor coach was such a great way to see the countryside. The meals provided by Google Ahead on the most part were OK. Some were outstanding. Hotels were nice. Had a bad experience 1st hotel we went to. The AC was broken. I only wish they could have given us rooms with a view instead of construction. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Our days were packed full with so much to see and do. You will never be bored. There also was enough time to be on your own to see and do what you wanted. I would definitely take another tour through Go Ahead Tours.

"We have taken two tours with Go Ahead, and thoroughly enjoyed both. The hotel choices were very good and the tour prices were very competitive."
"If you ever hesitated taking a vacation abroad, don't! Go Ahead Tours takes all the work and worry out of it so you can enjoy and experience the countries abroad. And better yet, small tour groups with plenty of free time to do what YOU want to do. Pick and choose excursions as you like. After three great tours - Northern Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Budapest, Vienna & Prague - I have nothing but good things to say. The tour guides are very experienced and local - making it an even better to understand the cultures and traditions. Go Ahead and make your next vacation worry free."
"Go Ahead made my dream come true with no stress to me! From the time of my arrival in London to the time of departure in Ireland our tour director Paul Sullivan was right there with us making everything happen! The accommodations was outstanding! Thank you Go Head for an awesome trip that I will never forget! I'm looking forward to my next adventure with GO AHEAD TOURS!

"The Go-Ahead office in Cambridge MA is way too difficult to communicate with. From the beginning, we told them that 3 individuals would be traveling together. The Go Ahead office continued to have us separated. We spent too much time trying to get this correct and it was still not correct when we left for our trip.
There were several people in our group with special physical needs, our tour guide never asked ANY of them if they were in need of assistance. While the hotel in Taormina was beautiful, just to get to the street a steep hill had to be climbed. Again, the tour guide never offered assistance to those with special needs. My cousins and I took a taxi for quick transportationback to the hotel and the taxi dropped us at the door to the hotel. I do not understand why this door service was not offered for those with physical limitations.
This was my second Go Ahead tour. My first was in the year 2000. In 2000, our tour guide, communications with the Go Ahead office, and arrangements were flawless. In 2017, you need much improvement."
"We traveled to Charleston and Savannah for a belated 50th anniversary celebration. We had so many unique experiences combining southern history, cuisine and culture. We had been to Charleston 20 years ago and the changes on King Street were amazing. We are avid readers of the late Pat Conroy so our trip to the Citadel brought to life so many of his books. And of course the view from the Battery never gets old. Savannah was so lovely with cool respite spots in the park-like squares in the city. We enjoyed the tours to local sites and to the plantations. The tour of the church that was a stop on the Underground Railroad was so moving to us. Reading history is one thing-being in the actual site of unimaginable feats is something altogether different.
Our tour guide, C. J. , was as learned and organized as anyone could want. She never seemed flustered and she extended herself in so many ways to help our group socialize. We stayed at centrally located hotels in each city that did so many kind things for all of us including helping us navigate computer based transactions as our house sold while we were on our trip! And there is not enough space for us to highlight all the skills of our bus driver Sandy. Anyone who can maneuver the narrow streets while driving a bus and remain smiling and cheerful has the Moeller vote.
We had a great time as we always do with Go Ahead.

"Although I had traveled with EF before, this was my first GoAhead tour, and I loved it. All my international travel experiences have been through this company. Nothing beats the ease of mind you have when you have a full-time tour director with you on your journey. There was a great balance of planned activities and free time. The hotels were excellent, and I was impressed and very content with the included meals. Once I got home, I couldn't wait to book another trip through GoAhead."
" we have done two tours, the first was fabulous to budapest, vienna and prague. tour guide was excellent. very knowledgeable and professional. hotels were also good, the dinner you provide are of poor quality. we ate separately at the budapest hotel so we know they have excellent food, the dinner you gave for the welcoming was inferior. the last dinner in prague they ran out of food.
we recently went to spain. guide was okay is all I can say. the barcelona guide was terrible, it was obvious she was translating in her head, not speaking fluently. the trip to monseratt was a disaster. being sunday it took close to an hour after arriving for the bus to park and have us disembark. as the guide was contracted to be back in barcelona at 2 it left us almost no time. a complete waste of money and time. very disappointing."
"We had a great time the hotels where top notch. The tour guide knew his stuff and pointed out stuff to due on our free days. The food at the hotels was outstanding . "
"From the very first interaction with the sales staff to the end of the tour, I was blown away by their professionalism and willingness to help in any way they could. The tour was fabulous! Our guide had so much history in her head, which she shared with us, and she went above and beyond--several times--to make sure everyone had a good time. For example, with one day's warning, she arranged a dinner cruise on the Danube with authentic Hungarian food--OMG! This was my first time with Go Ahead, but it will not be my last."
"Our Grand Tour of Ireland was blessed with wonderful weather, an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable local guides, interesting local tours and experiences wonderful entertainment venues and a group of interesting and fun tour members. Accommodations were good and relatively close to the action. The amount of free time was just right.
I'd pack my bags and head out again to do it all over again, it was so much fun!"
"The Sorrento, Rome, Sicily tour was truely amazing. This trip offered beautiful coastlines and beaches, art, history and food and wine that was outsdtanding. Very organized and the details went off without a hitch. Our wonderful tour guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and lots of fun to be with.
I have not stopped thinking about this awesome experience."
"In May my husband and I along with 15 friends traveled with GoAheadTours to Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento & Capri tour. What a fantastic trip, our Tour Director Biagio was awesome and all the tour guides were wonderful. The trip was so wonderfully organized, we have been telling everyone to use GoAheadTours! Can't wait to plan another trip with GoAheadTours! Thank you GoAheadTours for making our first trip to Italy one we will never forget!!"
"Our tour guide, Christina was excellent, knowledgeable and a lot of fun . The travel, hotels, bus and all of the destinations were well planned and thought out. Christina maximized our experience by letting us know how we might get the most out of each destination during our travel."
"I had a wonderful experience with Go Ahead tours. The guides were engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. A great value and service for a lifetime of memories. "
A rep from Go Ahead Tours, EFGoAheadTours, has responded:
“Thank you for reviewing your experience with Go Ahead. We regret that you did not feel fully supported in your pre tour experience with Go Ahead. Our travelers come to us in groups of many different sizes and some even travel by themselves! In the future, we can absolutely arrange for you to be organized as a travel party of three in our system. When you book your tour, simply inform your Tour Consultant and they will be happy to help. Our tours can be physically challenging and it is important for our travelers to have a frank conversation with our staff about the demands of any itinerary before booking. We also make information about the pace of our tours on our website. We are glad to hear that you found your hotel to be beautiful. While it does rest on a hillside, this allows our travelers to have the sweeping ocean views that Sicily is famous for. The terrain here is rather mountainous which means tight and winding streets. In some instances this means that there are areas that can be accessed in a passenger car that cannot be reached by motorcoach. We thank you again for your feedback and hope to see you on tour again in the future. ”
