Could Have Been Better Tour

This is my fourth GAT tour and the least that I like. With only 16 members, most of the optional excursions were canceled. Not much enthusiasm in the group. First time I got bored and unhappy in a tour. The tour director tried his best but his best did not measure to the level that I experienced in my first three GAT tours. I suggest that you cancel a tour if there are less than 24 participants. Even the local guides will be happier if there are more people in the group.

Sampling the delights of the 3 capitals

Even with the crowds who clogged evefry street, and the uneven weather, every day, thanks to the unflagging enthusiasm and organisation and planning of Tom Quinn, our marvelous tour director, was the best.

Wonderful Country Trip

As usual London was fabulous, Edingburg breathtaking and Dublin great, but not as great as Edingburg. I am never disappointed with a GoAhead Tour!

My Journey through the United Kingdom

This summer, I traveled to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. I visited London last year with Go Ahead tours and fell in love with the city. I knew that I needed to go back. I have to say that this trip was even better than last year! Our guide was excellent! From the very first day, he would go above and beyond; instead of simply showing us where to go on the map, he walked us to the tube station, helped us buy tickets, and showed us exactly where to go. He was very knowledgable, and he told us stories and legends about the area as we traveled, played local music, and even read poetry to us! This trip would be ideal for active travelers as well as leisurely travelers. More active travelers will love the excursions. I went on every excursion offered except one dinner, and they were all well planned and memorable. In London, stonehenge was very memorable; I took countless pictures. In Edinburgh, the Abbotsford & Melrose Abbey excursion was wonderful. In Dublin, the excursion to Glendalough was the most beautiful location! I was in awe of the waterfalls and the scenery. I enjoyed this trip immensly, and I am inspired to go on the literary tour of the United KIngdom next year! The weather is beautiful, with a little rain from time to time,. The scenery is awe inspiring, and the historical locations are amazing! I feel like this was a once in a lifetime experience, although I hope that it is not! I plan to continue traveling with Go Ahead tours in the future.

Milestone Trip

The London, Edinborough, Dublin tour was my first trip outside of the U.S. As soon as I got off the plane at the London Heathrow airport, any trepidation I had quickly dissolved when I was greeted by my Go Ahead representative. From that point on I knew I was in good hands, and that my milestone trip would meet all my expectations and more. My Tour Director, Sean McKeown, was exceptional. He made sure we were all comfortable and at ease in our new surroundings, and somehow managed to make transitioning throughout the different countries seamless. For me, that made the whole experience feel truly like a vacation. Our tour guides were extraordinary! There wasn't a detail that they missed, or a question they couldn't answer; and their level of professionalism made me grateful to be a part of their "audience". So here it is two years later and I'm still talking about how great my trip was to family and friends. Many thanks to the entire Go Ahead team for an unforgettable time!

Rewarding experience!

I wanted to give my daughter a memorable vacation for her college graduation and this was perfect! The optional excursions perfectly complimented the planned tours. I would have liked to see Dublin castle as provided in the tour description, and a real Scottish dinner rather than Italian! Overall, it was fantastic! We are already planning our next trip!

London, Edinburgh, Dublin

This was my 3rd GoAhead Tour and once again I was enchanted. The guided tours, optional excursions and the days on my own were more than I expected or imagined. The hotels were spectacular, the tour director excellent and everything was well planned with no glitches. I absolutely loved everything. I still marvel at all the history, museums, exhibits, palaces, castles and especially the magical world of Edinburgh.

A memory for a lifetime

I have had the pleasure of traveling most of my adult years due to the fact that my parents have been taking people to the Czech Republic and surrounding countries with their own travel group since the 60's. My parents are no longer in the travel business and I have missed the wonderful tours. A year ago my wife and I were invited to go on a tour to London, Edinburg, and Ireland by a family member. We have never traveled with GO Ahead Tours before. This past June we spent a fabulous 10 days touring with this group and we had a wonderful vacation which exceeded our expectations! Go Ahead Tours treated us like family in every way. The hotels were top notch and centrally located. The meals were great! Our tour guide, Tim couldn't have been more helpful. My wife and I had the best trip we have ever been on. We looked forward everyday to the activities that were planned or a day of leisure to enjoy on our own. Needless to say, we are already looking into our next Go Ahead Tour, and we are definitely telling our friends about our trip, in hopes they will come along on the next one. Thanks Go Ahead Tours for a wonderful memory!
