This is awesome. Thank you so much! I have been to Spain, but I'm single, and I went on a group tour (Trafalgar) that was great but I felt like a loser single person. That's why I'm going to look into Go Ahead. Your review was extremely helpful!

This is an excellent in dept review for someone considering taking a trip with this company like me, so Thank you. You answered alot of my questions. I was wondering if you ever felt the pace of the touring was too fast. And, also, do you think it would be better to book a singles tour instead of the group tour to keep from paying the extra cost. And, have you taken anymore trips?
@kaytryingthriving6876
Жыл бұрын
Hello & thank you! If you do decide to book, I'd really appreciate it if you use my referral link in the description. To answer your questions (1) I never felt the pace of the actual tours was too fast but the days are long if you want to take advantage of all the opportunities to explore. Since most tours are in the morning if you feel you didn't get enough, you can go back on your own during the scheduled free time. (2) I don't think the solely singles tours existed when I traveled with them but it's a pleasant addition and I would def try it. It'll probably be easier to make friends. (3) The pandemic def paused my big international travel. But this past May I decided I wanted to go to Greece. I did contact Go Ahead and strongly considered going with them but ended up planning the trip myself (there's videos on my page explaining my reasoning). I do plan on scheduling another trip with them soon to somewhere in Asia, most likely Japan or Thailand. Don't forget to like, follow, & subscribe!

Also, the group & your leader (can’t remember the name right now) won’t just leave you. You’ll also be given contact information.

I just came back from Portugal: food and wine tour. I took 8 travelers and we unite with another 8 travelers there. I can tell you that everything went great.! No delates on the planes, no suitcases lost, and excellent weather. We enjoy the countryside every day. Wonderful small towns, with great wine tasting and 4-5 course meals. The TD Jose T. was excellent too. The airplanes companies getting better. Two of my travelers were confused about what the insurances cover and what not. All together, the tour and Portugal exceeded my expectations! I am ready to book my next trip. ;)

I completely understand! I genuinely enjoyed myself with my "old heads" in my group. Someone else commented about another EF Tour company called Ultimate Break that caters to the demographic you're looking for. I'm not sure if you can still use my referral link with Ultimate Breaks but it's def worth a try to save you money and earn me credit towards my next trip since it's all under the same company (EF Tours). I'm definitely interested in trying them out. When I do I'll be sure to upload a detailed review.

I booked a tour to Morocco (departing May 28, 2020) for my daughter's college graduation present. We were so excited, but then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Mid-May I called to discuss my travel plans. They asked if I wanted to "upgrade" my Trip Protection insurance in case I decided to cancel due to the pandemic. I assured them that if the trip was not cancelled by them, we intended to still go. I was assured that my "Basic Trip Protection" coverage would cover me for a full refund if the tour was cancelled by them. Two weeks later I was notified that "Given the ongoing travel restrictions and advisories worldwide, and with the health and safety of our communities at the forefront, all tours between now and May 31 have been postponed." I was advised that they would "be in touch directly in the coming days to help you reschedule your tour to a future date, or should you need more time to plan, offer you a future travel voucher." I advised them that unfortunately I cannot reschedule the trip because my daughter is starting a new job this summer and will not have the vacation time available to take an extended trip of this sort probably for at least several years. I was assured previously that the trip protection insurance that I paid for would cover me if they cancelled the trip (which they did even though they are disguising it as a postponement). Now I'm told that I have a credit that I must use in 1 year or I will loose the cost of my "Trip Protection" as well as a $450 cancellation fee per ticket. When I called the Trip Protection company to verify coverage, I was told EF Go Ahead Tours told them to deny coverage unless the claimant was quarantined because they actually had the COVID-19 virus. I believe this is unfair business practices. I did not cancel my trip, however I am refused a full refund. With the economic hardships caused to everyone as a result of this pandemic, this company should be more understanding of the fact that we cannot afford to simply "forfeit" our hard-earned money. They have insurance that would cover their business losses, just like I believed my trip insurance would cover mine. I am now told I have until August 31st to make up my mind. I do not plan to use this company again if they "steal" my money in this manner. BEWARE!!!

Great questions! I forgot to mention this. I went with some of the other travelers to exchange currency during our free time. I'm sure your Tour Director would be willing to help. I only exchanged a small amount of money and didn't enjoy the high fees so decided to use my bank card for the rest of the trip. (It was a better deal). For future trips, I will probably continue to use my bank card wherever it's accepted and exchange my money before going on the trip with my local bank. Also, there is someone waiting for you inside the airport who will drop you off at the hotel with the rest of the group.

I did oversleep one day and once I woke up, my tour director got me a taxi from the hotel to where the rest of the group was located. Also, you're free to do your own thing and not go with the group too. It's flexible. Let me know if you have any other questions.
