Frequently asked questions
- Q: Do I have to fly out of Washington Dulles International?
A: You do not! If there is a closer airport to you, or if you prefer a different one, you may definitely fly from there. That may affect the price of your tour, however.
- Q: I have friends who would really enjoy one of the tours, does one need to live in Clearfield or the surrounding area to enroll on a tour?
A: Absolutely not! Go Ahead Tours will gladly assist ANYONE from ANYWHERE to be apart of our tour!
- Q: Should I wait until I definitely have a roommate to enroll on the tour?
A: No! Tours have limited spacing and are open to the public. Spots are not guaranteed. Waiting for a roommate increases your chances of not getting on the tour at all.
- Q: If signing up via the website do my roommate and I sign up together or separately?
A: You will need to sign up separately. As soon as both parties are enrolled in the tour please send us a message and we will take it from there! Please note, you will have to check the single room supplement to continue the enrollment. After both parties are enrolled, and we have been made aware of this, we will reach out to Go Ahead for you!
- Q: How does the single room supplement work?
A: Single travelers are charged a higher rate due to being the only person in the room. The more people in the room, the cheaper it is for you. Travelers are automatically charged the single room supplement until I provide Go Ahead with roommate information. Once that is done the single room supplement will disappear from your invoice completely, usually within a business day or two.
- Q: Do I have to book my excursions when enrolling in the tour, or can I think about them?
A: You can book an excursion any time, including after the tour has started! Some excursions do require advanced notice, so make sure you find out what the deadlines are. If you wait until you're on tour to book an excursion you will need to use cash in U.S. dollars and there will be a $10 charge.
- Q: Do I need to be vaccinated to travel?
A: Starting with tours departing after January 1, 2023 vaccination requirements will be based on countries to which you are touring.
- Q: Was is the suggested tipping? How is it handled?
A: Recommended tips are as follows: $7-$10 per day for the tour director, $3 for bus drivers, $2 per day for the local guides. We will collect tip monies at the final departure meeting to present together, but you are free to tip yourselves. You may tip more than the recommended amounts if you feel the service is exemplary!
