"Overall the trip to China was very good. Few suggestions: For vegetarians please include a Pizza/sub way boxed lunch option. Reason being the way they serve lunch and dinner on a round table, many use the meat utensils to serve themselves the vegetarian items which is not welcome.
And in Shanghai please include a visit to the tower on the bund. Time allocated is too short to do any thing on our own. Even if we did the language barrier is so hard to overcome. Beijing visit was fabulous and so was the Yangtze river and terra cota warriors."
"Love traveling with GoAhead Tours! The best!"
"This trip was well planned by go ahead tours. Great Hotels n restaurants. Our tour guide was awesome and made sure everyone was happy. Went out of her way to answer your questions. I will definitely do a tour with go ahead tours!!!"
"I've been planning to see parts of Canada for several years. My primary interests were in seeing the Canadian Rockies and riding on the Rocky Mountaineer. I've never experienced travel with a tour group before - this was my first experience. The whole trip was a dream-come-true for me. The places, the people, the tour-guides...everything came together for a perfect trip with Go Ahead Tours!"
"Fun, adventure, go ahead tours knows how to do it right. Nice hotels, good locations, tour guide and bus drivers are the best. Very interactive with everyone. The trip was so enjoyable, we
Can't wait to go again!"
"This is the first tour I have taken since 2002. I usually travel alone renting apartments, and staying in one place no less than 5 days. This was quit a departure for me, practically living out of a suitcase. I did enjoy the tour though. It makes a big difference the group you are traveling with. The Ireland tour was a great fun group, kind and courteous, the pourtuguse group was not. I felt the tours where well organized, but more thought could have gone into the hotel selections."
"Yes, the tour director said this. She was lost coming out of a walking tour of somewhere that I don't recall. Her vast experience soon found the path to "the way" onward and few on the tour knew that there was a problem. It was seamless how she kept the group entertained and amused by sights "just around this corner."
Go Aheads are fun, whether it's places or people, get ready for fun! I will always go back as long as we don't run out of destinations !"
"Would tell anyone thinking about taking a vacation to check out Go Ahead Tours Ireland was enjoyed even more due to the Tour guide, love everything about it.

"Went on the London and Paris Tour just recently! It was amazing! I loved the tour director Paul and I loved our London tour guide Joel. Go Ahead definitely knows how to plan a tour and how to pick the perfect tour director and tour guides. I can not wait to go on my next tour! Probably back to London! Thank you Go Ahead Tours!"
"My Europe Tour with Go Ahead Tours was great! Our tour director Rob was very professional ,informative and went out of his way to show the group how to get around on our own in each country. Hotel selections were good and easy access to transportation and local stores and restaurants. The excursions and local tour guides made the tours interesting and fun.I think the trip was organized and at no time did I feel unsafe! Thank you Go Ahead Tours for a wonderful vacation!!"
"I was invited by good friends with 'Go Ahead' experience, to join them on the National Parks tour in August. It had been many years since I had been able to do any recreational traveling, and I had never been on a tour! What a wonderful experience! As a single traveler I felt very comfortable with our traveling party of 34, and by the end of the tour we all felt like old friends. Every detail was taken care of, right down to well timed 'rest stops'! Our guide Christine and driver Bret were so friendly and knowledgeable it felt like we were being cared for by true professionals. Just the right mix of guided touring and free time to explore on our own gave us a chance to choose from many available activities. Though I was a bit concerned about bus travel- our 'coach' was comfy and we had lots of chances to get out to stretch our legs, see the views along the way, and of course - shop the local treasures! Now that I've gotten a taste of what fun it is, I will planning another trip with Go Ahead in the near future!"
"Our guide was very informed of the history of Ecuador and the surrounding Islands. The hotels we were booked to stay in were very clean."
"On our recent August 20, 2016 tour of Ireland, 'yself and 3 traveling companions found ourselves with a "group tour" that all knew each other!
This was unexpected and I would NOT have chosen that date had I known it was 80% full with people that were all scrapbookers and knew each other.
The bad part is they knew there would be some "outsiders" on their group tour but we as the outsiders were not told which was very unfair.
I have another tour scheduled next year to Greece and I intent to find out if it will be random travelers as previous or a group which I did not like."

Every detail was taken care of and our tour guide AnnaMaria was like the perfect mother hen. If there was a question or request it was taken care of. We were provided all travel and the information was informative. Would travel with Go Ahead Tours again and again!!! Thank you so much! Jane & Ron"
"Totally awesome. Great group leader and guide, great driver, wonderful accommodations, and unforgettable scenery .
