Clay helped us plan a recent trip to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Every driver and tour guide was prompt and courteous. The tour guides were knowledgeable and approachable. All hotels were conveniently located and included appetizing breakfasts. Our only difficulty was following the map in Vienna and got lost a bit. The directions for getting to Melk from Vienna we’re not as easy as most directions in packet. Some suggestions for Go Real...Review the subway info on what the overhead signs should say (leaving from Karlsplatz) and give more specifics on how many flights to travel up or down once reaching the train station. We missed a train because we couldn’t find anyone who understood English well enough to help us. Also, emphasize that cruises do not leave every hour on the hour, but rather, are limited times so travelers know they must plan accordingly (we thought the schedule included was a partial one). Once we arrived in Melk, we were directed to the large cruise ship area instead of the area for small boats...the signs were unclear. We loved the cruise from Melk to Krems but because of train delay and misdirections, we had no time to visit the monastery. Although we had some traveling issues, we loved all we did in Vienna. The entire trip was professionally planned for us and we look forward to our next Go Real Europe experience. L. Friedman

Simply the best! My wife and I have traveled to Europe on a number of occasions and have put together the trips on our own. We decided to take a flyer and put our adventure plans in the hands of Go Real Europe; in general, and specifically in the hands of Clay. Boy, were we happy with the results. In our opinion the beauty of the Go Real Europe model is twofold. Number one being the customer-specific itinerary with no tour buses or group tours. Secondly, attention to detail. The customer-specific itinerary is tailor-made to individual tastes and travel plans as opposed to form-fitting individuals into a pre-established mold. The attention to detail removes, in our humble opinion, the issues which can cause the most anxiety to travelers. We had no worries about hotel reservations, transportation arrangements, travel guide bookings and no worries about itinerary details. Again I reiterate that Go Real is simply the best and there is no one in second place. We did not have one hiccup worth mentioning and did we mention what an incredible job Clay did in creating and supporting us all along the way. Clay even arranged to have brunch with us whilst we were in Prague. Clay you are a credit to your company. We simply cannot wait for the opening up of new destinations in your portfolio. Thanks for making a couple of Canadian travelers delighted with their adventure. P.S. Get good walking shoes. We put over 200 km in 18 days. Loved every step.

Amazing trip! Exactly what we were looking for. Great accommodations, great walking tours, great transports from city to city, great directions and suggestions in each city, etc. Would HIGHLY recommend GoRealEurope. Jared was amazingly responsive and helpful and completely “got” what we were looking for and delivered exactly what we envisioned. Perfect trip. Thanks for everything Jared!

Our tour with Go Real Europe to Budapest, Vienna and Prague could not have been better! The detail and professionalism of the itinerary was amazing. The hotels chosen and the guides we were paired with were exceptional. Our consultant, Jared Holmes, could not have been more helpful and cooperative. Overall our group agrees that Go Real Europe was outstanding in all aspects! Thank you Jared.

Prague tour from Andrew and Go Real GoReal was everything you want in a travel agency. They correctly interpreted our needs and then provided excellent service. Guided tour guides were excellent and the information for self-guides were fulsome. I would recommend this group to many experienced and not experienced travellers.

Excellent hotels and organization in general. Edith in Budapest was especially wonderful. Many thanks to Jared. We will definitely be recommending you to friends.

Go Real Europe did an excellent job of creating a personalized itinerary. They were able to match our dates exactly and create a program that filled our expectations. They arranged for excellent staff to transport us as needed, and reply promptly to any questions. The tours arranged were interesting and informative, and private! The hotels were in perfect location and lovely. It was a great experience. Thank you!

This was my first time using this company and I did so upon the recommendations I saw online. I will absolutely use them again without hesitation. Everything went exactly as planned and we could not be happier about our trip. We did a Eastern Europe trip to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. I requested all hotels be 4 star or above. They were exceptional, including the included breakfasts. Go Real Europe took what we said we liked to do and packed full an itinerary of suggestions that we were able to pick and choose from in the end (because, for us, there was just so much to do we had to slow down). The private tour guides they arranged for each country we absolutely loved. We have a bit of feedback/suggestions for the company and anyone reading this review. There is a LOT of walking for this particular type of tour (I can't speak for other European tours). Be prepared for this or request more private transfers and/or Uber vouchers. Be aware of transfer times between countries and if you have a private tour set up on the same day. If that is the case, you may want to suggest to your travel consultant for Go Real Europe that more time is allowed. We had only one instance where a driver was 15 minutes late. However, that was the day we were being picked up from the train station and had a tour set up shortly after we arrived. We almost missed him as a result of the lateness throwing off the rest of the schedule. At train stations, be aware that platforms are often labeled S & J (especially for Prague), etc. We didn't notice this and it was not pointed out in their instructions (though practically everything else was). A kind English speaker helped us out with this and we figured it out. Train station platforms can be overwhelming when in a non-English speaking country and this was the only part of their instructions that could be more detailed (with hints) in my opinion. Everything else was spot on and we had no difficulty at all following them. If you are staying in a hotel that has a high end restaurant (we had The Prestige in Budapest), request a reservation early. We were disappointed we couldn't get one as we really wanted to try that restaurant. In summary, the sheer amount of stuff they has suggested for us, the private tours, the travel vouchers for public transportation (private vouchers for stuff like long walks to Castle Karlstein would have been nicer), and the fact that I felt confident they were reachable should I need them make this a highly recommended company regardless and I plan to use them again on my next trip to Europe.
