Superior travels

An excellent trip dripping with history and information. The guide was superb! There were only a very few suggestions and they were very minor. This trip should be enjoyed by anyone interested in France and WW II not to mention the many other super aspects of the vacation.

reflections at Normandy

good balance of art & history with free tme and good logistical organization supported by outstanding tour director

Wonderful trip to Normandy and the Loire Valley

The itinerary was great. I think Amboise and the Loire Valley deserve an extra day with maybe the winery tour an optional excursion. Our guide, Brian Haldman, was terrific! I can't say enough about him. The level of expertise of GoAhead guides is reallly remarkable. Brian is in a class by himself. The bus driver, Patrique, was also great. This is my second GoAhead tour. The first was to Sicily which was also great. I am an experienced traveller and had been to some of the places before, but enjoyed them much more with the informations we received from Brian and other local guides used. The flight connections, direct from LAX to Paris, were an added bonus..

a small shadow

The only flaw in this trip was that we were not met at the airport upon arrival. Everything else was first-rate.

Absolutely a Fantastic Tour

One of the best trips I've taken. Our tour guide Thierry was great, he took care of everything and was very knowledgeable. Thierry even took a group of us who extended our stay on an extra walking tour of Montmartre. Touring the Normandy Coast was thrilling, I enjoyed every little city we visited and could not tell you which is my favorite. This was my second trip with Go Ahead and I WILL be taking another. Thank you for a wonderful time in France.

Paris Normandy and Brittany

Nice accomodations - excursions were interesting - meals served were delicious - nice to not have all meals provided - that gave us an opportunity to eat light or more formally or just take time exploring instead of spending time in a restaurant - Our Director, Brian was so well informed and enthusiastic, respectful and polite. I will definitely travel with Go Ahead in the future.

Town and Country France

From the glamour of Paris to the sombre beaches of Normandy and the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, this tour provided something for everyone's taste. Our Tour Director, Brian was dela de l'excellence Highly recommend this tour.

Very nice trip, very historic

We enjoyed the trip. It was great to have a group of only 21 people. Made things very manageable and everything went smoothly. Our main criticism is that the hotel at the gare de leon in Paris was not a good location and there were too many tour groups there. It was very difficult to get breakfast and we had difficulty getting a clean table. Also not much food was left because of the amount of people. When a group is small like ours was , there is no need to book such a large hotel that caters to large groups. Also, our dinner in the Loire Valley at the hotel was below French standards and the quantity was spartan.. Our first dinner in Paris was very good and the restaurant staff was attentive. However, our last dinner in Paris was a disappointment. The staff seemed to rush us, the tables were not set completely, they were vacuuming the floor while we we eating, and it seemed like they couldn' wait to get rid of us.

Tour Director Made the Trip!

Brian was the best! He made the trip for all of us. Loved the small group of 21 participants. Did not like the lst floor front hotel rooms.

One of our best trips, tour director was great!

Paris at night is a must see. Notre dame and the louvre was fantastic. D-day beaches very moving and solemn. All americans should see the American cemetery. What our gi's sacrificed for freedom can't be put in words!
