I'm happy to answer your questions! I work for Go Ahead Tours and our goal is to ensure you have the best possible experience while on tour, which is why we take care of the details!
You can expect to receive your final documents, including your final flight itinerary and hotel information, approximately 10 - 14 days prior to your departure. In the meantime you can view your flight reservations and hotel details through your online account. We recommend that you contact the airline within 30 days of your departure to make specific seat requests.
Upon your arrival in Amsterdam you will be met by a Go Ahead Tours representative after you have collected your luggage and cleared customs. We suggest that you wear your name tag and utilize the luggage tags that will be included in your final mailing to make it easier for your Tour Director to recognize you. At the end of your tour you will be escorted back to the airport for your return flight to the United States.
It’s always a good idea to carry some cash with you, but you'll also want to withdraw euros at an ATM machine once you arrive in Amsterdam. Travelers’ checks are no longer widely accepted and you will be charged a higher commission fee to exchange them into euros. Major credits cards will be accepted at most stores and restaurants. With regards to additional money for food, it certainly depends on what type of dining experience you are looking for, but a good rule or thumb is $10-$15 dollars for lunch and $25 - $40 dinner per person. Of course, you can find less expensive options for meals and your Tour Director is a great resource for dining recommendations.
We're excited to welcome you on your first Go Ahead Tour! If you have any further questions prior to your departure, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at 800-597-0350, Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm EST.
Happy travels,
Go Ahead Tours
