A smaller budget shouldn’t keep you from seeing the world, and with our budget-friendly tours, it won’t.

Why go guided with Go Ahead Tours
Our guided group tours are all about what’s included. Our travel experts have done all the planning for you, so you can spend your time on what matters most: making memories (and hunting down the best local pastries!)
Smaller groups (big difference)
Travel is about making true connections, and we cap our groups at 38 so you can do just that. For more immersive, hands-on experiences—think truffle-hunting in Italy or paddling a kayak through a Peruvian jungle—we offer intimate, Small Group Tours for 10 to 22 travelers. Plus, your dedicated Tour Director and local guides are there for you every step of the way.
Top-notch transportation and hotels
When you travel with us, you won’t have to find just-right flights, figure out where to stay and eat, or worry about how to get from one place to the next. We’ll do it all for you. On tour, you’ll travel by private, chauffeured deluxe coach. When it’s time to rest, expect some seriously stylish, impeccably clean hotels—many with stories of their own to tell.
Inclusions and priority access galore
Traveling is about soaking up new experiences, not standing in long lines. Whenever possible, we’ll expedite your entrance to top cultural sites so you can get straight to the good stuff. We’ll also introduce you to locals where they live and work (think: private homes, vineyards, and farms). You’ll try your hand at their trades, from pasta making to pineapple picking.
Lots of ways to pay
Every traveler’s budget is unique, which is why we offer multiple payment options. Prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach? You can sign up for AutoPay, an easy way to make smaller, interest-free, monthly payments before your tour. Rather pay manually on your own schedule or make a single lump payment? You can do that, too.
