We recommend adding excursions before your tour begins, but if you decide to add excursions while you're on the road, here’s what you need to know.
Why it’s best to book early
- Availability: Some excursions must be booked in advance and may not be available on tour.
- Enrollment: Some excursions need a minimum number of travelers to run. Booking early helps avoid cancellations.
- Savings: Excursions added on tour are $10 per person more. Booking ahead locks in the lowest price.
How to add excursions on tour
Using the Go Ahead mobile app:
- Excursions without a reservation deadline can be added up to 4 days before departure
- After that, they must be added on tour via the app and paid for at the time of booking
- See this article for instructions on how to book excursions using the mobile app: How to add excursions
- Accepted payment methods: credit/debit card (Visa or MasterCard) or bank account info
Always check with your Tour Director before booking in the app to confirm availability. The app doesn’t show which excursions are no longer available.
If you don’t have a smartphone, let your Tour Director know, and they can help with alternative payment options
Tour Director excursions
Some Tour Directors offer special excursions, called “Tour Director excursions,” not listed in the app.
- These are optional, on-the-spot experiences curated and arranged by our local experts
- Payment is made in local currency, in cash
- Your Tour Director will share details and sign-up instructions on tour
- Not every tour or Tour Director will have additional excursions
Next steps:
- Download the Go Ahead mobile app (U.S. travelers/Canadian travelers) before you travel to add excursions on the road
- Talk to your Tour Director before booking any excursions while on tour to confirm availability
