It was overall a wonderful experience for us traveling the first time with GOGO. Food was exceptional throughout the trip and our tour guide not only knowledgeable about the places on the itinerary, he also did a great job in keeping us safe and entertained. My wife was so touched seeing a birthday cake delivered to our table while dining.
Our first impression with GoGo is a good one. Had we planned for the same trip ourselves, we could have ended up paying more. We’ll certainly be repeating with GoGo for more trips in the near future.
