"Croatia Trip was fantastic!"

The whole process was great from start to finish. I had a trip between Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia. Using the tool online helped me understand what possible ideas I could have to help cater my trip. I then spoke with agents to get their opinions as they learned what I was most interested in as well. Overall, quite easy!

On the trip things were even easier where people always came to me. Meaning, drivers, tour guides etc. I never felt fully lost with all the directions the team gave me and how personalized each driver and tour guide was to me.

Finally, there was one mishap on my connection from Split to Mostar to Dubrovnik. However, I called the help number that was there specifically for my trip and the team helped to fix it right away! Since there is a lot of planning and moving parts on my trip things happen so it’s understandable, but the team helped work to fix it right away which was so great.

"Look no further if you want to travel..."

Look no further if you want to travel independently on your own terms. I am a former travel agent who pays much attention to detail and I can't say enough good things about Go Real Travel. I had no time to plan this trip & sought the assistance of the amazing team of Myles, Julian, & Samantha!! They truly know what they're doing! Our 30 day trip went so incredibly well & was seamless from start to finish. I know how important it is to get all the details right when it comes to booking hotels, arranging drivers, tickets, etc & we were just astounded how every aspect of our trip was spot on. This was 30 days of hotels, bus, train, & catamaran tickets, private drivers, tour guides, cycling reservation, National Park reservation/tickets etc. Our trip included 30 days to Eastern Europe, visiting Prague, Budapest, stunning locations in Slovenia, the amazing Plitvice Lakes, then Split & Dubrovnik in Croatia. Once the deposit was made, I was given so many details of our trip, I hardly had time to read all the exciting information before we left. I printed & bound this information & it was over 286 pages. (Like a coffee table book, Ha) Also, all of this information is provided on their App which works great. While we were on our trip, customer service support was provided 24/7 via phone, text, or WhatsApp. We never used it because we didn’t need it. (I say..how is that possible on a month long trip?) We have to give a big shout out to their local, knowledgable, & professional guides who took us on walking tours at each location. They explained the local history, how to navigate the transportation system, find good restaurants, museums, & directed us to the best local sites. We kept saying over & over what a fabulous guide this was, each & every time!! We also used their private driver service which was so incredibly efficient, fun, & so interesting to see the local farms, homes & landscapes. More importantly, it relieved us of the stress of driving & trying to navigate the super narrow streets of these old cities. I could go on & on singing the praises of this company, but I will end it with: “Try it, you’ll be glad you did!

"GoRealTravel is in league of their own above the others."

Trying to plan a 3 week trip with transportation, hotels, restaurants, tours, etc. from 5000 miles away is difficult at best. GoRealTravel removed all of the difficulty. Their taking the time to understand our preferences, and then the details they put into our travel plan was exceptional. From the driver who met us on our arrival in Ljubljana to the details of our hotel and restaurant recommendations, tours, places to explore and see along the way in Slovenia, Croatia ending our trip in Venice, were just great. The tours and guides were very good with two being exceptional. Their pre-trip planning and support was beyond what we expected only to be surpassed by the support received while actually traveling. Probably the most impressive part of their service is the personal time they take to ensure the details are all there and correct. Their app works extremely well and was so helpful. The 165 page detail booklet we printed before we left just in case was very helpful especially in the evening when planning our next days activities. If there is an issue or you have some questions after you start your trip, they provide 24/7 support via phone, WhatsApp, or text. The fact that they really understand our travel preferences makes it so much nicer and easier to plan our trips. We have used them in the past and they just plain do it right. We wouldn't think of using someone else and will use them for our next trip. Only thing we will change and it is OUR responsibility; we didn't allow ourselves enough time in each place we visited. This was another "trip of a lifetime" thanks to GoRealTravel and their team. Kudos and many thanks for another wonderful experience.

"Thanks GoReal for a vacation of a life…"

Thanks GoReal for a vacation of a life time. Everything was planned and executed amazingly. All of our accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and located in fun, convenient locations. Transport was arranged from airports and train stations. All of which worked out great and saved me lots of worries. The activities and tours planned all flowed well together. All of the communication from GoReal was prompt and very helpful. Even for this being my first time in Europe on my own, this made it far less intimidating and made everything very accessible. Having the app on hand made taking our own tours even easier. Any trip back to Europe will be booked through them. Thanks for an amazing trip!

"Absolutely superb service, took all the hassle out and let us enjoy our holiday!"

We booked a holiday in Italy for just over 2 weeks with Go real. What can I say, the service was so efficient, friendly and mindful of us as individual customers that I have never had a better travel experience. The documentation, the vouchers and tickets and everything we needed were just perfectly put together. the hotels were exactly as we would have wanted them to be and all local tours were staffed by knowledgeable and interesting people. Go Real made our travel come alive with all these arrangements. And the support from material such as the online app, detailed and summary instructions for reference etc. made sure we do not have any uncertainty and can be left to just focus on the pleasure of travel. We also had great support on email and WhatsApp not just before the trip, but also during and after the trip. We did not need help, but we were constantly looked after and there were regular checks that all was going well. And the icing on the cake - Go real had even ordered a bottle of prosecco for us to start out holiday in Venice. I cannot but praise and thank Go Real immensely for their wonderful service,

"A wonderful trip to Poland/Prague!"

This trip to Poland/Prague that Go Real Travel organized for - and with - me, was tremendous! I was very impressed and delighted by the care and support I received from Martin, Julian and Samantha. This started from the initial conversations, and continued right on through organizing the trip's details, which accommodated well my own particular needs and desires, as well as the ready and steady support during the trip itself!

The itinerary was packed with rich, history and details of the cities I visited. The maps and attention to precise details of a variety of routes, as well as the articulate information regarding all my transfers...All of these were marvellous and greatly appreciated. It made my wandering (which can sometimes head off the beaten paths) - and city-to-city travel, relaxed and easy.

There was a single hiccup with one of my reservations for travel: the scheduled overnight train was booked. This was disappointing as it demanded some shifts in the plans we had organized. However, Samantha offered options and quickly reorganized my train travel in a manner that allowed me to follow as close as possible to the original plan, and she arranged things well, in both cities, for this change in the timing of departure /arrival.

I want to mention my guide in Warsaw that Go Real organized: Agnieszka. She was fantastic! This tour was among the highlights of my trip. Her knowledge of the city was vast and layered - both its past and present - and she shared it with so much generosity, warmth, clarity and ease. This is the kind of guided tour that opens doors to a city/locale. It made for a truly inspiring, joyful, and energized time as I continued on my own in Warsaw.

The hotels that Go Real organized were all lovely. I appreciated the conversations about my needs and wants with regard to hotels: their locations, cleanliness and costs. I was happy overall with where I stayed. In Prague, I was right by Old Town Square, which was an excellent location for walking everywhere - something I love to do - but also: an area that is action-packed with tourists. Had I been better aware that this might be the case, I might have chosen one of the other options. Still, the hotel itself - once upon a time a Dominican Abbey - was quite beautiful. The breakfasts in ALL the hotels in which I stayed were great and had lots of options. All the rooms were very comfortable, clean, and the staff friendly and helpful.

Also in Prague, there was an event I learned about upon arriving and wished to attend. I was struggling to get tickets. Samantha and Julian helped me navigate this. I was able to uncover how to get TIX - and I did! Their attentiveness and full support around this was tremendous and hugely appreciated!
As someone of a certain age, and as a woman travelling on my own, assumptions can sometimes be made about needs, wants and interests. I learned how important it is to communicate anything that might be outside the expected box or norm. I especially appreciated when Samantha asked, as the trip was being organized if I had visited Prague before. She noted that some of the usual attractions were not yet on the itinerary. This allowed for a conversation about my desire to have open time to wander and uncover alternate spaces and places, galleries, art and neighbourhoods - which I did!
The itinerary was a full one, but it also offered possibilities of free- flow and ease, and I didn't always follow its daily, written schedule. However, because it held such a wealth of information, I was happily able to cover most of it during my time in the given city. If I missed something, it was due to my own choice to wander, discover, or take in areas or venues at a slower pace.

This was the first time my travel has been organized by an agency. I now understand the benefits! I would certainly use Go Real again. The consultants all provided a wealth of detailed, layered and clear information, alongside sharing multiple, educated and considered options, admirable and appreciated support, good organization and great care. It was a mighty fine trip and travel experience! I look forward to more!

"This was our “trip of a lifetime” and…"

This was our “trip of a lifetime” and the Go Real Travel team made it a reality. From booking our accommodations, to all the transportation details and providing excellent suggestions for tours and excursions, it was one stop shopping. Highly recommend for your next trip.

"Family Trip to Budapest, Prague, Vienna"

We are a family of 5 with 3 boys (21, 17, 15). We needed to attend a wedding in Budapest this last July, celebrate our son's 21st in Prague, and wrap up our vacation in Vienna. This was the first time our children had been to Europe. I reached out to Martin and explained exactly how we wanted this vacation to go. Martin handled ALL of it (except our plane flights), answered all of my questions, and tailored our plans perfectly!!! Samantha was assigned to us and sent us a very detailed itinerary (150 pages). Wow! The first leg of our vacation (San Fransisco to Istanbul) was a mess. Before I could call Samantha, she had already been tracking our flight, made arrangements with transportation crew, hotels, etc. and gave us specific instructions on what to do next! Amazing! Throughout our entire vacation, Samantha made it clear that she is available 24/7! She helped us navigate all three cities, and even helped us during a commercial train derailment in Slovakia that delayed our train. Because of Samantha (and Martin), our Euro Tour was the family trip of a lifetime! We can't thank the two of you enough! We can't wait for you to help with our next trip!!! A++

"Pleasant travel with the service of Go Real Travel"

This is the third time that we have Go Real Travel to arrange our trips. This group has professionals from the planning office to those execute activities on site. It started with a detailed plan for the desired trip, just tell the advisor how many days and where you would like to go. Then the rest is handled smoothly, for the actual travel. Hotels are all selected in very convenient locations and near the center of activity. The local tour guides are all veterans with many years of experience. Then the next day or two, you can decide yourself what you would like to see based on the information provided. They all have lots of knowledge of the sites. Transportation pickups were all on time and drivers are courteous and friendly. They all can speak English so help to know the area too. I highly recommend Go Real Travel to those don't know what to do with their travel. Go Real Travel will take away the hassles from you, so you can enjoy the trip.

"A really excellent experience"

The hotels, while they differed in their strengths, were overall very good. The travel arrangements and instructions were spot on and the tours and tour guides were very good. Using Go Real Travel saved me a ton of time planning this trip and the results were likely better than I could have achieved.

But this wasn't a 'tour' in the usual sense as were were on our own and independent so could do as we pleased pretty much when we wanted. Having this personalized plan was great and without the effort of making the arrangements ourselves.
