We are proficient voyagers and we absolutely love our experience of travelling with Go Real Europe. Even preparation to the trip to Prague and Krakow was a great occurrence: Andrew Barton spent a lot of time explaining the details and possibilities of upcoming trip, looked for the best solutions for every our request…

We want to thank you for a perfect vacation in Eastern Europe. All the activities were wonderful and went off without a hitch. The tour guides were all pleasant and informative, and provided much more personal information that added to the entire personal experience for us. The rooms were all great, though we were thankful for the air conditioning in Vienna and Budapest since the summer temperature was higher than normal.

We just got back from our Prague, Bohemia and Vienna trip. It was unforgettably great! We had never used a travel service to plan our trips before, so we cannot help but tell our family and friends (and everyone) about the wonderful experiences we had with Go Real Europe.

We have finished our trip and are home. It was delightful! We so appreciated all the work you did to make it successful. You took the stress out. We loved our destinations. Each city had so much to offer and it was nice to know all the details were taken care of. All the taxis you organized were on time and with cheerful drivers who wanted to make your stay pleasant. Thank you for the wonderful maps and ideas of what to do.

It was only by accident I lucked into the perfect tour company for our trip - Go Real Europe. In surfing the internet I saw many self-directed and semi-directed options for this tour, but nothing quite popped. Then I found Go Real Europe and was instantly impressed. Owner David Manley specializes in this part of the world and has an excellent knowledge of what is available.

Hi Martin and David,
We arrived home in Boston last evening after a busy eight days of travelling in Prague, Vienna and Budapest. We can’t thank you enough for the detailed plans, maps and suggestions. It really felt that someone was holding our hands and showing us around. We had all the excitement of discovering foreign lands, with none of the problems that can happen while negotiating unfamiliar places. In fact, all the cities felt like home within a few hours of arriving and exploring.

-
John & Rhoda Galvani, Hendersonville, North Carolina
We recently booked a tour of the Czech Republic through Go Real Europe. When the prospect first came up, I was a bit concerned. Even though we had been through other European cities, the prospect of going to a place where English wasn´t the primary language, and the culture was "different", made me somewhat trepidous. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of our life.

Magan Gand, Washington, D.C.
Thanks David; you made our European trip one heck of a memorable vacation. I've already recommended you :).
Thanks again.

Max Von Folger & Family, Arlington, Virginia
When we first started contemplating a vacation to Europe, we imagined an extra special trip where travel between cities would be interesting and exciting and hotels would be really cozy with lots of charm; near good restaurants /pubs and within walking distance of major attractions; and, that didn’t cost a fortune in this down economy.
