We Took the Gold Medal!

My Go Ahead tour to London, Paris and Amsterdam took the gold medal! Just about everything on the tour was fantastic, from the group itself, which comprised forty eight wonderful people from all over the U.S., with every age included from 11-70's. The weather in London, Paris and Amsterdam was beautiful every day. We walked through each city, did some tours (both through Go Ahead and independently) Although not luxurious,. the hotels were very well-located and clean. Travelling with my daughter was a dream come true. Our tour guide, Aonghus Weber, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. He was always available to answer questions and voluntarily participated in leading impromptu walking tours with us. By the end of the tour, everyone was good friends, exchanging e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Although many of us were not really happy with the dinners Go Ahead included in the tour price, the rest of the trip was wonderful, and we would definitely consider another Go Ahead tour in the future!

Never Again

The food was horrible. The accommodations inadequate. The tours were the cheapest to be found. Couldn't wait to get home. I want a refund.

London, Paris & Amerstdam

Overall the tour was very good. I was extremely disappointed in the London part of the trip. The change in hotel from the one that was originally scheduled was a big negative due to the location factor. While the physicality of the hotel was exceptional the location was absolutely unacceptable for access to London proper and significantly hampered any individual activities that my wife and I had planned to partake in. As a matter of fact the traffic getting into London was so severe that the city tour had to postpone over an hour of scheduled sites that were paid for and in fact supposed to be a part of the city tour. I felt that the Paris and Amsterdam portion of the trip lived up to what was promised and what we had expected but the London portion we were cheated on what we paid for.

Great cities to visit!

We had a great guide. Alison Bainbridge, you were a wonderful, fun guide.

Great Experience

The guided tours provided a ton of information. Between that and the helpfulness of the experienced tour guide, made it super easy for us to go off on our own and explore each city the way we wanted.

London, Paris, Amsterdam

Had a wonderful time on this tour. Each city was unique and easy to get around. The hotels were all well located and offered very nice all-you-can eat breafasts. The included half day bus tours in each city provided a nice introduction and the tour guides on each were pleasant and informative. Had plenty of free time to explore on my own which is was what I wanted. The tour leader, Eric Thompson, was superb. He was extremely efficient and professional as well as personable and helpful. He was sensitive to the needs of each traveler in the group and watched over us like a protective mother hen. All the details and arrangements were perfectly handled by him which made it a care free experience for the group.

Great Trip

This trip was my first to Europe & my first trip as a solo traveler. It was well organized, & everything went smoothly largely because we had s great tour director. He was vested in our experience & took great care of the group. The guided tours were great also. The only hiccup for me was my arrival at the London airport. My flight landed early & there was no GoAhead rep waiting for me. Airport personnel were clueless about GoAhead's pickup arrangements & they sent me on a wild goose chase. The driver arrived about an hour after I landed. More communication needed between the airport & GoAhead. Great trip overall.

Good sampleing of these three wonderfull cities

My wife and I very much enjoyed the 11 day London, Paris, Amsterdam tour! We went for our 25th wedding anniversary. The included half day bus tour of each city visited was enjoyable and helpful in us getting a feel for each city visited and allowed us to decide which areas of the city we wanted to revisit during our remaining tour days. The dinner provided by GoAhead Tours on the first night of each city was very good and was nice to sit down for dinner with the whole tour group. My wife and I enjoyed this type of tour because we can set our own pace as to what and how much we want to see and gives time to do our own thing. Our tour guide Jim was excellent, low key, personalble and very open, helpful and responsible! Jim made sure that everything happened as was scheduled; such as being on time to where we had to be, answering our questions and transportation arranged from point to point all went well! On this kind of tour, visiting multiple cities within a limited time period, one has to set their prioritiesif one wants really do justice to and see the cities visited. If you really want to see them you have to one has to start walking and taking public transportation to get the feel of where you are, and take pictures to see where you've been to make good memories when you get back home. The cities visited were great and the people in them were nice and very helpful! The hotels and transportation selected by GoAhead Tours were also very nice. No complaints! Thank you GoAhead Tours and a special thank you Jim (our tour guide) for making our trip as pleasurable as it was. We will recommend GoAhead Tours. Sincerely, Raymond and Clara Bercovitz

A great 3-city overview!

This was our first time visiting Europe, so we selected these 3 major cities as a "beginner" tour. This tour gave us a perfect overview, with a good balance of enough time as a group and enough time independently. We liked the idea of being dropped off at a site, thus forcing us to find our own way around, and pushing us out of our comfort zone. We enjoyed the "welcome" meals and guided portions, but also appreciated the alone time so we could walk and ride public transportation at our own fast pace. Our preference is to see as much as possible in as little time as possible, so this active-paced vacation was perfect for us. We are physically fit, so we walked many miles in each city, each day. We saw all the monuments, museums, sites and highlights we intended to. Go-Ahead Tours was helpful, but not pushy or overly involved, which is the way we wanted it. We reccomend that you come prepared to "hit the ground running" on this tour!

Great vacation!

Just got back from our 3 city tour of London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Had a great time, it was everything one could hope for in a vacation. Excellent tour director Jim Mitchell; went out of his way to arrange excursions and provide advice for anyone wanting to go out on their own. Had a local guide in every city to do a quick tour. Breakfasts in every hotel were fantastic, not what you would expect from a continental breakfast. Only minor complaint was the London hotel was a bit out of the way, over a mile to the nearest Tube station, but a short busride away. Paris and Amsterdam hotels were centrally located and very nice. Free wifi in every hotel was an added plus. Overall a fantastic vacation at a reasonable price!
