Wonderful Trip

As with our other Go Ahead trip everything was great, being met at the airport taken to a lovely hotel room all was taken care of so we had no worries..can't wait for our next Go Ahead vaction..

London/Paris: Good Trip, Fair Value, Nice Options

Both London & Paris are MUST visits for any traveler, whether solo, couple or family, including children. Both cities have loads to offer in terms of arts, entertainment, rich history and Western culture. As GAT city stays, the traveler is allowed much leisure time to see things on one's own or to avail themselves of some pretty good GAT optional excursions: some of these can be significantly over-priced compared with arranging them independently. One failure is that a tour director in an independent city stay might not apprise the tourist of offerings that are readily available for the traveler (even one who has read visitor guidebooks). We missed some things we knew nothing of until after we returned home to learn more about London and Paris and each of their surroundings. A more cognizant and diligent, organized tour director could have provided us info to further enrich our trip. Nonetheless, our trip surpassed our expectations.

13-day London and Paris

A single hotel, adjacent to undergroound transportation in each city enabled us full access to lhe excitement and cultural opportunies London and Paris offered. Working with the tour directror we were able to combine what we wanted from the selected tours with his tips for our own wonderings - this unique feature is alwsys a must for us. Breakfast in London, riding the Eurostar to Paris and dinner in Montmart is a highlight we will always take from this tour.

A great experience

This tour is what you make it. Most of the time you are doing things on your own. The tour director in Paris was excellent. The one in London was good but not as helpful.

Great tour guide.

I will never use Go Ahead again. Terrible conditions esp. in Paris. Bums outside the hotel sleeping in the street. The room was awful!!! The manager of the hotel was hostile.

Very enjoyable trip

Enjoyed ability to take a few side trips but also able to set our own schedule on visiting sites, places, and museums in London and Paris. Subways easy to learn to use.

Good Value in London and Paris

This trip was a very good value - would suggest a less busy location for the hotel in Paris - it was right next to the Gare Du Nord and very busy all the time - and neighborhood not the best. On the other hand , the hotel in Kensingston area of London was perfect - well located , quite and convenient at the same time . It was our third time in both London and Paris - and we enjoyed being on our own- .

Flexibility and Opportunity Rule

This tour allowed us to decide when and where to go with the added benefit of our knowledgable guide to suggest the best route and timing. Excursions were varied, inviting and optional. If we wanted to rest, we rested. If we wanted to run, we ran. Mostly we ran. We even planned a "racing" daytrip (meaning we ran) to York by fast train! There are so many things to do and "so little time" to do them. Would take this trip again to catch all the experiences we missed the first time... and run a little less.
