Free Time

One nice thing about GoAhead tours is the amount of free time you will get. On the Ireland tour we only had a couple of days that didn't have free time and that was primarily because of travel time and or the scheduling of a later event. Generally your afternoons will be free to explore on your own. One mistake Patti and I made, and I noticed others, was that we didn't research ahead of time the places we were going to have free time. We ended up just wandering around aimlessly without a goal. Therefore, I recommend you spend some time on TripAdvisor and compile a list of things you would like to do in each location.

Below is a picture of a tour boat from the city of Bath. There are probably 6 of these independently operated boats constantly going up and down a two mile stretch of river. While the journey was pleasant and peaceful I didn't find it particularly engaging and I don't recommend it. Also, the small boat we were on had many seats with no leg room (picture below) so if you do go get a big boat like this one.
