BEST TRIP EVER - LOVED IT SO MUCH!

We went to several different cities, enjoyed learning about Rome, the culture and people. The shopping and cuisine were great too!

Rome City Tour

It was nice to travel with a group of our own. We were able to design it to our liking. We had a ton of free time to wander on our own. Our tour guide Vania was FANTASTIC!!!!! Wish we could have stayed forever!

changed my life

Our tour director, Nicola, was our Mother Goose, and we, her little goslings. She answered every question we came up with. She researched our interests and provided maps for us. She became a friend. And Ioanna, our tour guide in Rome, was engaging and entertaining, very animated. I hated saying goodbye to her. Our hotel was wonderful: the room, the view, the breakfast, the location. I genuinely want to LIVE in Rome and am working to realize that dream

Rome city Stay

The tour director was wonderful, keeping up with requests and wishes of the entire group. The pace can be whatever you wish it to be. Rome is a marvelous city with art and history at every turn. Aside from all the usual sites, a side trip to Ostia is easy with public transportation and very worthwhile. Public transportation may be crowded, but easy to manage. The location of the hotel was perfect. I traveled with my granddaughter and would say that Rome is a city for all ages.

Misinformation or miscommunication ??

We loved the location of the Universo hotel and took full advantage of being near the Termini station and the Metro. What we didn't like was that we were led to believe that there was an included tour of the Colloseum and Roman Forum in during day 2 of our stay. This included tour appeared on the itinerary when we first booked, then dissappeared when the itinerary was shortened (our original tour length was maintained by booking us for an extended stay beyond the new "last" day of the tour....not a problem). The last itinerary we got prior to our departure showed the tour as included again. When we were contacted by GoAhead prior to our departure to see if we had any questions, I asked if the tour was included; I was told it was. During our meeting with our host during our first day, the information given indicated that it was not included and if we wanted to sign up we would have to pay.

Great Trip to Rome

I thoroughly enjoyed my December trip to Rome - Rome City Stay. My boyfriend and I opted for the 2-day extension, and SO glad we did! Nicola, our tour guide, was so helpful and available - she helped us do many things independently (in our free time) when some of our scheduled excursions were cancelled due to not having enough people signed up. She helped us schedule a day trip to Capri, and each day gave us excellent directions, instructions,recommendations etc for buses, the metro, restaurants. Our personal guided tours of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's and Imperial Rome led by Giancarlo were exceptional. Those tours should NOT be missed! The weather was great, and the hotel was in a super location - near the Termini Station. We did a lot of walking too (our choice) because there was just so much to see on every corner!. It was nice to unpack and be in the same place for 7 nights. It gave us time to explore, and really get the feel of Rome. A day trip to Florence can easily be done as well on the "fast train" - takes about 1.5 hrs and well worth it if you haven't seen Florence. I love Go Ahead's City Stays...the London/Paris City Stay is excellent as well! Looking forward to the next adventure!

Rome City stay

Rome is a fabulous city and visiting during th fisrt week in December the weather was comfortable and no crowds,excellent. Our tour director Nicola was excellent, personable, plesant, knowledgeable and very helpfull. The hotel location,staff,and breakfast,were all excellent the only negatives were that with no fan in the bathroom there tended to be a musty oder unless we left the window cracked open some of the time, also the free wifi was spotty and required a new pasword daily.Minour issues. Overall,our stay in Rome was excellent and I would not hesatate to recommend or do again some day, thankyou Go Ahead.

Historic Rome

The best parts of Rome are the phenomenal history and art that surrounds you anywhere you turn. The next is the food!

Lots of history

If you love history, you will love Rome!

Rome City Stay....another GREAT Go-Ahead!!

Nicola, our tour director, was wonderful and very helpful for a couple things that Go-Ahead didn't offer....thank you, Nicola!! This was my 3rd trip to Rome and although I still love the city, I was a little disappointed in the areas that tourists are no longer allowed to go into. I understand the preservation of those areas, though. Wonderful food, as usual; great little outdoor dining areas. Very nice neighborhood for the hotel, as well. We'll travel later again next time, too many tourists still in early October, November is better!! :)
