"We had a wonderful time on our tour. We visited Mykonos and Santorini. Unfortunately due to a shipping strike we were unable to get to Crete. We were literally stranded on Santorini (there are worse places to be stranded)! Go Ahead Tours did their best to accommodate us and even gave a travel voucher for another tour due to this issue (we've already booked and Italy trip for next year)! Our guide, Raquel was very knowledgeable. Our travel group was wonderful as well. The islands are gorgeous and it was fascinating to learn about the history. I highly recommend Go Ahead Tours."
"This was a 30th anniversary celebration trip for my husband and myself. We are not experienced travelers so we decided to go with a tour. This turned out to be a great decision we had an amazing time and got to see and do so much more than we would have on our own. Our tour director Angela was wonderful she made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was happy, the local guides were very knowledgeable and eager to share their information, the bus driver's were very skilled and we felt completely safe with them at the wheel. Hotels were also excellent. Our group of fellow travelers made it even more fun it was great getting to know new people. I would absolutely recommend this trip!!!"
"Had an awesome, worry free trip to Greece with Go Ahead Tours in September. Travel, accommodations, and selected restaurants were first class. Our tour director was knowledgeable and friendly. Our small group of 16 grew very close during the trip and I believe some of these people have become friends for life. When a shipping strike prevented travel to our third island, alternate arrangements were made for our remaining days in Santorini. Upon returning to the States, we received a $300.00 travel credit per person for the change in itinerary despite the fact that the shipping strike was something they had no control over. "
"Go Ahead's City Stay Paris was a great experience. You can customize the tour to add on excursions or you can do your own tours as you wish. Our guide, Brian, was available every day to help plan our day and was a valuable resource. Our hotel was in a good location close to the Metro and not far from cafes, ATMs, etc. This was my second Go Ahead trip and would use them again. The reason for four stars and not five - hotel breakfast was so-so and some elevators were not working which meant long waits. Also, three of us were traveling together, and we had requested seating together on the plane which didn't happen for one of my travel mates - but luckily a passenger was willing to exchange seats so we could be together for the ten-hour flight. I do recommend Go Ahead."
"Southern Africa was AWESOME! So was our Tour Director! Chris has been a Tour Director for something like 20 years and he knew a lot about the countries we visited as well as the history. We saw some of the prettiest scenery ever and lots of animals....even a leopard!
While most of the tour was in South Africa, we also went to Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Got to walk with lions!
Did not want the vacation to end....much too short!"
"We traveled with Go Ahead Tours 9/15/16 to the Canadian Rockies. We still have not stopped talking about what a wonderful vacation it was. Everything was amazing! It was our first trip with a tour company and will not be our last. Didn't know what to expect, but let's just say it definitely exceeded our expectations. We had a great tour director - the best, Patrick Twomey. We made lots of new friends - a great group to travel with! The Canadian Rockies were beautiful and the itinerary was awesome! We have already booked our next trip with Go Ahead Tours for next May - the U.S. National Parks!! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF THIS TRIP! TRULY AMAZING!"
"This was my first vacation in five years, after some traumatic events and my hopes were high for a good time. Also, this was my first trip to Europe and Italy was a wonderful start. The tour was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Our tour director, David Fenn, made everything fun, interesting and educational and was very responsive to requests and unpredictable situations. We had some weather problems in Venice and David adjusted the timing for the gondola rides to beat the rain and make sure the experience was enjoyable. All the logistics for luggage, buses, and city tours were smooth and efficient. The individual guides and city tours were wonderful. The extra excursions were amazing. The support from customer service was awesome, with the tips and phone calls to make sure I/we understood everything and support help. I will definitely travel with Go Ahead Tours again."
" Everyone at go ahead to yours was most amazing helpful knowledgeable and available . The hotel accommodation was very clean and the breakfast every morning was yummy the coffee was perfect . The site seeing tours we took were amazing . And worth every penny . All of the museums were breathtaking and beautiful so much history so much to absorb in such a short time . I stayed an extra week in Giverny France to paint the countryside in the gardens of Claude Monet it was a trip of a lifetime I painted the best I've ever painted in my life the weather conditions were perfect in the 70s and sunny it was a little rainy only one day . I am so ready to go back to visit again but next time I will go in the spring time just to see the different time of year . So my bags are packed and I'm ready to go back to Paris let's go again ."
"My wife and I have taken a half dozen trips with Go Ahead Tours and we are very satisfied customers. We have been to Egypt, Ireland and the UK, Australia and New Zealand, France, Germany and South Africa. The tours are always professionally run and well-planned. We have been extremely pleased with the price, the hotels, the food, the itineraries, and especially the tour guides. Go Ahead's tour guides are top-notch, highly educated, articulate, and personable. They are approachable and flexible. Overall, we think Go Ahead is the best and we give it our highest recommendation."
"The tour may have been trying to go to too many places and did not leave enough time to enjoy the parks. I realize this was a "survey" tour, but it would have been more enjoyable to spend several days in , maybe, 3 major parks and cut out the hectic travel."

"Whirlwind tour - we were able to see a lot."
"I have been on 2 tours with GoAhead - Thailand & Cambodia, Italy & Greece, and planning on booking Egypt in the next couple of months. Having everything prearranged and all the small details worked out by another party makes your vacation stress free. The quality of the trip, the sights, the guides, all top quality. For those that don't like being in a group setting constantly (as myself) depending on the tour there is plenty of time you can spend on your own as well as opting out of any day tours if you're not up to it (though trust me we won't want to miss a second). Both tours I have taken thus far I have missed transfer flights (due to the airlines), however, notifying go ahead and advising them of your new arrival info is easy and both times they scheduled transfers to the hotel upon our arrival. So GoAhead, book it, you won't regret it! These are trips of a lifetime and I have many more on my list. "
"First trip with Go Ahead and very impressed. WE loved our tour guide Patrick, very knowledgeable, great suggestions for dining and walking. He was unfailingly smiling and positive even in traffic jams. We were looking for a trip where we could spend most of the time in the City. Go Ahead offered that flexibility with optional side trips. Hotel location was great, close to Moulin Rouge, great walking area, convenient to several subway stops. Hotel itself was very nice, air conditioning (needed the first 3 days of 90+degrees), quiet, king size comfy bed and great breakfast. We are considering another trip with Go Ahead!"
"It was a fabulous experience. We were kept very busy and saw lots of beautiful and interesting places.
We have been telling EVERYBODY how wonder the tour guides were. the bus driver, all the amazing placing we saw with lots of information provided about them, either from our tour guide or those provided at the individual places we visited. We couldn't be more please with our choice of choosing Go Ahead Tours for our first trip like this...we continue to tell people about it and encourage them, that if they even think about going to Europe, to think about using this option as their choice.
