Looking back at a year of travel: December 2024 ushered in one of Central Europe’s most stunning seasons, and traveler Jennifer soaked it all up on our A Week in Switzerland, Germany & Austria tour. See the dreamy scenery for yourself in 2025: https://goaheadtours.me/3Dtg5uD

“This was my third tour with Go Ahead and I firmly believe that if you can do this, then do it!” Jennifer said. “Our Tour Director Chiara was so full of love, laughter, and knowledge. The sights on this tour from Switzerland to Prague are breathtaking. You will do some walking on this tour—have comfortable shoes—but you will be so awestruck by the sights that you won’t pay attention to all the walking. The view from Mount Pilatus—I just sincerely have no words. One must see it to experience it. The abbeys and the palaces are awe-inspiring. I especially loved the Klimt exhibition. The river cruise is also a must to see the beautiful river at night. I really felt among friends and enjoyed myself immensely.”

Looking back at a year of travel: Switzerland stunned in October 2024 as smaller crowds, pleasant weather, and snowy vistas took center stage. Traveler Kim experienced it all alongside her daughter and aunt on our Switzerland by Train: Lucerne to Zurich tour. Set your sights on a 2025 Switzerland tour: https://goaheadtours.me/4fv0xnc

“Switzerland is beyond beautiful!” said Kim. “I love how the tour didn’t stay in large towns. We did visit some, but mostly we were in smaller areas with the most beautiful backdrops: mountains, snow, waterfalls, green grass, and the bluest lakes. Our Tour Director Laura was amazing! She was so attentive to everyone’s needs and was so knowledgeable about everything from buses, trains, food, activities, weather, history, and more.”

Cultural activities such as visiting a school and the Maasai tribe were wonderful as well. The warmth, the friendliness, and the smiles of the African people always made us feel so welcomed. Seeing Zanzibar was beautiful and a wonderful way to finish the trip.”

Battlefields, ancient ruins, the Military Tattoo—bravo, Go Ahead Tours. Trip of a lifetime.”
