Go Real TravelReviews of gorealtravel.com

My wife and I just complete a vacation in Czech Republic and Poland. Being retired military I usually drive around Europe but this time we used Go Real Europe. Justin Brinkerhoff set everything up for us. What a great vacation! I would highly recommend Go Real Europe. Everything went perfectly. All the private tours were great. Definitely book a tour through Justin and Go Real Europe!!!

Our holiday in Eastern Europe was organized impeccably by GO Real Europe. We did not have to worry about any logistic as everything was taken care by them. We had no problems whatsoever and strongly recommend them. THere were many highlights of our holidays, but we would like to mention two. The first one, it was a great bike tour of the Viennese countryside with Teena, who was the most lovely guide, very friendly and easy going. The second, was the Prague Castles and countryside tour with Petr Skarka. Petr was an exceptional guide, not only very knowledgeable, but incredibly friendly and easy going. During the tour, my husband broke his sun glasses. Petr was kind enough to take them with him, fix them and drop them to the hotel the next day! We will never forget his kindness. We give him more than 5 stars!!!

Our experience with GoRealEurope was excellent. Starting from the beginning we were proved suggestions on the itinerary and all of our to prior to the trip were answered. The final itinerary was incredibly detailed and provided everything we needed to feel comfortable within each country we visited. The hotels selected for us (Small boutique) were excellent and all provided excellent customer service. Our favorite was Hotel Casati in Budapest. The guided walking tours in each location were also a highlight of the trip. Marta (Prague), Nikki (Cesky Krumlov), Simone (Bratislava), Kate and Edith (Budapest) were all fantastic. Having a local guide share the history of each location and be able to answer your questions was a wonderful experience. I also wanted to comment that all means of travel between each location whether bus, train, or private transport was perfect. If going to Central Europe I highly recommend working with GoRealEurope. You won’t be disappointed. I hope they expand their services further into Europe.

The whole 2 months worth was action packed, and the 12 days you did for us was superbly organised, thanks a mill for such a professional and personal job! The hotels were great, same comfort level and large sized rooms, breakfasts included etc. Couldn’t have wished for better (except aircon in Prague, but the heatwave was exceptional). The guides and drivers were without exception really professional, on time, had good English and great local knowledge, and were willing to share personal perspectives which we appreciated. We had the best experience of Prague, Vienna and Budapest we could have wished for.

We had a bit of a bumpy start, but the trip was amazing! Every guide, the hotels, the ground transport...all top notch. Everything was so organized and all the info was available to me. All the suggestions of sites, restaurants and things to do were so helpful! Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience.

Having found this company was a Godsend! We went to see Krakow, Budapest, Bratislava, Cesky Krumlov (fun for 1-2 days, some great Italian fashions too), Prague, and Berlin. Berlin was surprisingly great with fantastic shopping. Krakow was very friendly. It took a few minutes to register and answer the simple questions. In about 10 minutes an entire trip came back. We then fine tuned it after realizing we were trying to see too many cities. Then months later we finally went on the trip - just got back. I can assure anyone, the guides were great (just my wife and I and the guide!) They were fun and knowledgeable and adapted to what we wanted to see and know. And they were smart and about 10 minutes early each of them. (They also give great restaurant recommendations, as do some of the drivers.) The drivers were all at the airports and train stations just as promised despite our trains being late twice. Two unforeseen problems (not GoReal's problem) were immediately addressed. The company rep, Tom, was responsive and available. The amount of time they suggest in any town and on tours was really perfect. And yet I did not feel at all like I was being herded around on a tourist bus. This was entirely individualized. Hotels were just great and in wonderful locales. Train tickets, and public transport tickets and advice were perfect. (English was spoken everywhere so the little times when we couldn't figure things out, were easily resolved.) The schedules they put together are ideal and flexible. I have never so easily enjoyed a visit to Europe without any of the usual anxieties of travel. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would use GoReal again and recommend it to anyone. Go on bike tours around towns, too!! Best way to see and learn a lot. I would never bother trying to book a trip on my own ever again after the ease of working with GRE. I told my wife as we left after 19 days, "I cannot wait to go again!" Our trains could be unpredictably hot, but usually they were fine. The sleeper train was fine. The hotels were not hot, even without AC, and there was a record heat wave while we were there. As always, pack very lightly and take extra money to shop. There are lots of stairs in Europe, and airport walking is a matter of miles per day. You can have your laundry done in hotels. We brought Rick Steve's books for each city which were still helpful, but not absolutely necessary. GRE's maps and guides and itinerary contained all we needed.

From beginning to the end...everything about GoReal was easy and perfect. Tom and I discussed what my husband and I enjoy doing on vacation and what type of hotels we would like to stay in while away...so he could lay everything out for us.Transportation, tours, hotels, directions, tour guides and more...was planed for us and in a very easy to understand format. This is the first time I let a tour company do all of my trip planning and I have to say that I will never go back to doing it myself!! I highly recommend GoRealEurope!!!

Excellent travel arrangements and support. We visited Prague, Salzburg and Munich. Hotels were great, particularly in Prague. Guides were outstanding, as were the self-guided tours. Two minor issues came up and both we handled quickly without and efficiently. One issue was a late guide, who was stuck on a late train. The other was confusion with third party tour. As noted, both were resolved quickly and the end result of each was positive. Again, I can't recommend Go Real Europe highly enough.
