    Recently completed a private group tour of ***********. Part of the trip was an overnight ferry from ******* to ******. The group paid to have a larger cabin with an outside view. We did not receive what we paid for. The cabin we received was a much smaller cabin with no window. Company has only offered a credit voucher for a future trip instead of refunding us the price difference, as if we would book another tour with them.

    Thank you for leaving a review. We did receive your feedback and concern regarding your ferry cabin and did approve a refund instead of a voucher for that inconvenience since it did impact your time on tour. We do hope that despite the cabin not being what was promised and or expected, that your tour was still enjoyable with other highlights to look back on.

    I took a fabulous tour of ****** (******, Mykonos, Santorini), and a three-day extension to ****. The trip was well-planned and organized. We were given lots of helpful information before and during the trip. We had an excellent and knowledgeable Tour Director as well as tour guides. They made each excursion so worthwhile. I learned so much! I can't say enough about what an incredible journey we had which was due to EF tours Go Ahead and our director and guides! Thank you!

    *** worked with EF Go Ahead for 15+ years and fine the are an exact match with my travel personality. When shopping for group (or solo) travel opportunities, most people place too much emphasis on price and fail to consider more important considerations such as flexibility, expertise, value, balance, and safety all with the highest customer service and communication. Ive been on tours both as a traveler, and as a Group Coordinator and can honestly truly say, you will not find a company that will work as hard as EF Go Ahead does for each and every traveler and customer, but is willing to listen to customer needs and be open to change. Put into one word: VALUE

    My overall experience with EF GoAhead Tours has been generally positive. I run group trip with them and the coordinators have generally been helpful and cooperative -- especially in customization. We have had wonderful tour directors and amazing trips in the past, and I continue to plan to use them for future tours (we have one coming up in ****). The rewards system for tour organizers are also second to none. The only reason I have not given them a 5 is because of three things:1. I feel that I have to be clear all the time with my expectations for my group with regards to flights, hotels, and itinerary. While EF is generally helpful, from time to time I think most coordinators are just trying to get the job done and people signed up, rather than always working to have the BEST experience for their travelers. 2. Communication has been generally satisfactory. There had been a few times recently when communication has been spotty with regards to returning emails and calls. I'm still waiting for an inquiry I placed two months ago.3. As a church group, we have certain expectations when visiting religious sites. While EF is clear that they do not make arrangements for religious services, it would be a great benefit for tour organizers like me if they had consistent support. For now, it has always been up to the tour directors (who had been amazingly helpful), the team coordinators recently have either been unenthusiastic or indifferent in their willingness to assist.

    I have had an exceptional experience with EF Go Ahead Tours, both times that I traveled with them as a trip coordinator. I own a local yoga studio, and EF Go Ahead Tours worked with me to custom tailor two trips to ***** and one to ******** for myself and my community members. The memories made are priceless, and all of my clients had a phenomenal time. As a group coordinator, I have a representative to help me with each step of the way, so planning was seamless. Thank you!

    I am currently on the National Parks tour -August 11. The tour guide is awesome and the bus driver as well. They are the best of the best. However EF Tours has booked the group in a dump for two nights. It is a motel(if you can call it that) and I have never er stayed in a place so bad. EF Tours gets a big zero for their lodging.

    Thank you for leaving a review. We are sorry to hear that you felt that our hotel selection did not meet expectation. It is important for us to keep evaluating the vendors we work with. We did reach out to get more feedback on your nights there, but unfortunately did not hear back from you. Please feel free to still respond to our email so that we can schedule a time to speak with you. Despite the hotel, we are glad to hear that your tour guide and driver were so great and hope that you will still have many positive memories of your trip.
