I really can’t say that I would have changed anything.

Patricia D.

We met as sixteen individuals (six couples, two friends, and two siblings) and returned as one big happy family

May 31, 2024

Alessandro De Marco was absolutely remarkable. I cannot say enough great things about Alessandro. He handled our group’s different personalities and molded us into family. His personality and knowledge of the foods and wines was invaluable. He is worthy of TEN stars! ( Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast May ’24)

Dave N.

Best part of my Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast May '24 trip? Everything

Bob G.

This was my first trip and I think it has really set the bar for future travel!

May 31, 2024

To be honest, the whole trip was a number one life experience for me. All of the planned events exceeded expectations, our group was fantastic and I cannot say enough good things about Alessandro, our tour guide. He was kind, patient, super knowledgeable and his speaking voice just really made the experience the best it could be – So articulate and proficient in languages, organized, and kept the wheels turning! ( Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast May ’24)

Mary F.

We felt like we were in an out of this world experience!

May 30, 2024

Cc, his wife, and alexandro ( sp?) were just the absolute best! From the moments when we boarded the bus from Florence to Siena, we knew we had made the right decision! Redd as peaceful, courteous, and downright relatable, we felt like we were in an out of this world experience. Jason, thanks so much for booking us with the Newman’s last year as we got two of the last three rooms! Favorite part???? Comfort while navigating new experiences! ( Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast May ’24)

Alejandro was all a leader should be. Knowledgeable, caring, helpful. Couldn't have asked for better. It was great!

February 11, 2024

Alejandro was all a leader should be. Knowledgeable, caring, helpful. Couldn’t have asked for better. Natalia was also wonderful. I was especially pleased the when Jason was informed of my knee issue that arose right before the trip, he was able and willing to find an alternative experience for me on the Estansia Cristina day. It was great! ( Hiking in Patagonia Jan ’24)

Evelyn B.

I liked everything!

January 19, 2024

Best Parts of my experience ( Hiking in Patagonia Jan ’24)

1. Boat trip to Estancia Cristina and hike

Elizabeth K.

Each day the activities were fun and varied

January 17, 2024

Alejandro was awesome. He took care of anything we needed or wanted and was knowledgeable about area. Each day the activities were fun and varied. Loved learning so many things about Patagonia from each tour guide. (Hiking in Patagonia Jan ’24)

Fantastic trip to Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast with Go Get Lost!

November 8, 2023

Fantastic trip to Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast with Go Get Lost! Our guide, Alessandro, was the best! His laid-back style and thorough knowledge of everything really made the whole experience that much better. The small group tour experience was fabulous, and we made some great friends. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who loves good food, good wine and beautiful scenery. We are already looking at where we will go next trip with GGL!

Excellent experience hiking Greek Islands!

Maria and Addie were fabulous.

Paul Michaels

Thank you for a wonderful adventure in Italy and Slovenia!!!

September 15, 2023

We had a most enjoyable time! You all did a terrific job, and Erik and I enjoyed meeting each one of you.

Barbara S.

The fantastic views!!! Just when you thought it could not get any better it did each day

July 24, 2023

I can’t say what other adventures you provide are like but I can’t imagine anything comparing to the views and vistas of the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy. Our local guide, Sabine, brought it all together and you gave us a trip of a lifetime. We are so glad we accepted the challenge to our comfort level of flat land walking and chose to walk up every challenging path and trail!

Lost in Ireland

July 18, 2023

Local guides James and Thomas provided an amazing experience. Loved Deirdre’s energy and ability to address everyone’s needs.

Jim H.

My favorite part of the tour was Dunloe Gap and Edge of World

July 13, 2023

Great personal tour, that gets you out to see the beauty of SW Ireland and learn its history. If you enjoy hiking and the outdoors this is for you. Deirdre, our guide, was wonderful. She was a wealth of knowledge and we received VIP status with her ties to the locals that she invited along.

Karin B.

"My 70th Birthday in Ireland!"

July 11, 2023

I celebrated my 70th birthday on this trip, with eight group members and a wonderful guide! Deirdre arranged a special birthday dinner for me with our group, along with a card and the “Happy Birthday” song. I loved every minute of this trip and highly recommend—the hiking and walking were just the right challenge for most of us.

Easy Exploring in the Southwest of Ireland-May 2023

July 7, 2023

Go experience the grandeur of Southwest Ireland in its small places.

Susan B.

This was such an amazing trip and one that I will never forget!

June 10, 2023

Deirdre Harman was the best part of my experience! She was the most knowledgeable, professional, organized and personable tour guide I ever could have imagined. Her attention to detail and ability to personalize our experience based on the group was spectacular!

Every day of the experience was amazing and very well thought out. I loved Day 1, The Gap of Dunloe. It was absolutely amazing with the combination of horse and carriage to a gorgeous hike and a boat ride. Lake Annascaul was another favorite destination of mine. I loved the serenity of the lake and the hike was breathtaking. In addition, all of the local guides Dee connected with were amazing! Their level of patience, knowledge and care-taking abilities, in addition to their love for Ireland, truly made the experience that much more worthwhile. (Lost in Ireland ’23)

Roxanne A.

D went above all my expectations to make us feel like rock stars

June 8, 2023

D was absolutely the best, also enjoyed her guests from local towns and Tim the driver was such a professional. D went above all my expectations to make us feel like rock stars.

Easy Exploring in the Southwest of Ireland-May 2023

May 26, 2023

Go Get Lost provides the best tours we have experienced—Small groups, interesting places to visit, dine, and unique adventures that aren’t on most tour company itineraries. Every tour has surprises, whether it is unexpected side visits, fabulous dining, or tour leaders who know history and sing local songs.

Deirdre was the best part of the trip. She is knowledgeable, fun, creative when we needed to adjust the schedule and took very good care of all of us. The driver Mike was also very good and we marveled at his navigation of narrow roads. The tour was excellent in every way–but that is what I have come to expect from Go Get Lost tours! Probably my favorite part of the tour was getting to hold a baby lamb! That tour of the sheep farm was amazing and the presentations from the humans and animals (dogs and sheep) were wonderful and not an experience I had ever expected to have.

Gretchen B.

Truly an amazing experience, I want to go back

January 23, 2023

Guides and hiking…and food and people – honestly this whole trip was fantastic, and I think about it frequently. (Hiking in Patagonia Jan ’23)

Veronica K.

Well orchestrated trip with amazing hikes, dinners and wine

December 6, 2022

Amazing trip! The hikes were the best part. Great dinners and wine! The attention to details made this trip even better. The guides were informative and fun. This is a must do trip!— (Hiking in Patagonia Nov ’22)

Linda W.

GGL nailed it again!

December 6, 2022

Alejandro, our guide, was smart, knowledgeable, fun and funny, helpful and kind. A real gem. He elevated the entire experience from great to supreme!

Paul C.

We highly recommend Go Get Lost!

December 5, 2022

Alejandro was unbelievably awesome. Probably the best we’ve had and there’s been some great ones-Eileen, Rika… The best parts of our hiking in Patagonia experience were the beautiful glaciers and views of Fitz Roy. The trip was really good.

Michael B.

Hiking in Patagonia is an amazing trip!

December 3, 2022

This is an amazing trip through breath taking scenery, the land is so vast it is hard to comprehend. A must do trip for any serious hiker and nature lover.

Awesome tour as it was just right for me

Guides and overall planning and support were amazing as were the others on the tour!!! (Walking in Tuscany and Amalfi Coast ’22)

Walking in Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast '22

October 23, 2022

Bel! Bel went above and beyond what needed to be done, and she looked after the entire group. She was always accessible and measured how the group was doing to make each experience memorable.

We really enjoyed the hikes, and the restaurants that were chosen.

Each area that was chosen was special and unique and that was appreciated.

All of the local guides were amazing.

The cooking class with Chef Carmen was a great experience.

Food & Wine in Portugal Sept '22

October 18, 2022

The wineries and the restaurants were the best parts of my trip. Maybe one way you can improve is less strenuous walking for older people that aren’t used to it or have a disability.

Sandra A.

The food and wine were excellent.

October 17, 2022

The tours for the most part were wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about our tour leader, Elaine. I really enjoyed being in the Douro valley and the medieval village in Marvao. The fado performance was nice as well.

Lynn

Would definitely take another go get lost tour

October 12, 2022

Belen. She made the experience to next level. She was always working hard to make sure everything we wanted or needed was available. She arranged things for the group outside the tour and she was always pleasant and a great person to be with. She is absolutely the best. Any other tour leaders will be measured against her. Everyone from the tour said they will only take a tour if she is leading it. We also loved that it was a smaller tour 9 of us. Each day was a bit unique which kept it interesting. Would definitely take another go get lost tour (as long as Bel is the guide). Restaurants were excellent. Some of the best we’ve ever been to. Even the picnic lunches that Bel catered were excellent

Tom

Best trip I’ve ever taken, we were immersed in each area’s culture, food, wine, history and it’s natural beauty

October 12, 2022

Best trip I’ve ever taken, we were immersed in each area’s culture, food, wine, history and it’s natural beauty. The guides, hotels and restaurants were excellent! Can’t wait to try another adventure with Go Get Lost! Our guide Bel was wonderful! Fredrick’s picnic and wine tastings were great! Brolio Castle Hike and the Pathway to the Gods were the best hikes and the lunch in Positano! The cooking class was a lot of fun!

Michael

Look no further! That's it...the end!

October 10, 2022

This is the best overall company leading group hiking and adventures in beautiful parts of the world! That’s it…the end! Happy Hiking! Call me! XOX

Walking in Tuscany & Amalfi Coast '22

October 10, 2022

From the cultures in the different regions to the architectural history, Italians are rich in their traditions and their identity. They seem to savor the joy of living.

The best parts of my trip-

Pathway to the Gods with Marco, our guide, and lunch in Positano (scenic views, food and serenade during lunch) were outstanding.

Brolio hike and lunch – the vineyards, olive trees and lavender on countryside stroll of sienna – was exactly what I imagined Italy would look like.

Dinner (5 course) the first night in Sienna provided the perfect introduction of Italian food and wine.

Pompeii came to life through the efforts of our excellent guide Paulo. It was not hard to imagine how they lived or what took place that historic day.

The cooking class with Carmen was a lot of fun as we learned how to make noodles and eggplant parmigiana with the songs of Momma Mia being piped in.

Almafi coast- My goodness. Where to start? Bel Sola helped us rent a boat on our free day for an excursion around the Isle of Capri. We swam in the crystal clear waters and saw the grottos. We had a great guide (Alexandro) that day too. Bel Sola could not have been better. I would give her a 10 on a 5 star scale. She went out of her way to make our trip (and everyone else’s) an enjoyable one. The size of the group was also ideal.

Barb

love the unlimited wine with our meals!

October 7, 2022

The wine tasting and all the meals – were fantastic – love the unlimited wine with our meals!!! It was a very a trip that we enjoyed the pace of the activities and never felt rushed. Breakfast was nice at all places.

Our personal group leader was so lovely – Elaine. She was a joy to listen too and answered all questions. (Food & Wine in Portugal Sept ’22)

Great variety of food and wine experiences. Everything from family run operations to the Michelin star restaurant. I really enjoyed the tour of the port wine producers. Most of all I just enjoyed exposure to the beautiful Portugal landscapes.

Diane Bl.

The beauty of the Alps is amazing

October 5, 2022

The group was friendly and capable. Sabine was an uplifting and encouraging guide. The hotels in Chamonix and Argentiere were very nice. The group dinner in Chamonix was a fun food and atmosphere experience.

Boat, crew (especially John), food, itinerary were excellent!

October 5, 2022

Boat, crew (especially John), food, itinerary were excellent! With this many people making their own travel arrangements, etc.. there were a lot of “moving parts”. Your arrangements for transportation to/from the airport and hotels was VERY was very helpful!!!

John

Almost all the wineries were excellent in our Food & Wine in Portugal tour

October 4, 2022

We could have had more free time in Lisbon. Almost all the wineries were excellent in our Food & Wine in Portugal tour. Excellent historical perspective.

We enjoyed the trip tremendously.

Dave A.

This is a must vacation!

September 26, 2022

The best parts of my trips were definitely the hiking. The views were breathtaking.

Even when we couldn’t hike due to weather, our innovative guides found interesting experiences for us (culture!).

Due to the different abilities of those on the hike, we didn’t get all of the hiking in that we in particular would have enjoyed. But that really didn’t take away from the trip. I would suggest that people who take this adventure really understand the difficulty levels.

A Ramble around Mont Blanc is a unique and exciting adventure for those who want something more than just an ordinary group tour. Breathtaking alpine views, challenging (or more at your own pace) hiking and a sampling of all the various cuisines of Switzerland, France and Italy make this a must vacation.

Annie E.

Beautiful scenery and Greek sites

September 25, 2022

Beautiful scenery and Greek sites, such as the Parthenon.

Boat crew and food were both great.

The other people on the trip were fun and friendly.

The dinner on the roof with the view of the Parthenon at night was wonderful – the food and the view were both great. (Islands of Greece and Turkey ̵7;22)

Linda L.

I honestly can’t think of anything I would change. The trip was unbelievable!

September 25, 2022

Enjoyed Athens and the tour sites. The rest of the trip was excellent as well. The ruins were interesting but I think I enjoyed the more well known sites best. The boat was amazing as well as the staff. Food was excellent and plentiful. (Islands of Greece and Turkey ’22)

Wendy

The best travel experience I've ever had. I had to keep reminding myself that it was real.

September 21, 2022

Hands down the best travel experience I’ve ever had. I had to keep reminding myself that it was real.

The best parts of my experience were sailing on the Capricorn, the food, the accommodations, the ports, the stops at private bays, the crew were all way beyond expectations. ( Islands of Greece and Turkey ’22)

Don

Go Get Lost has spoiled me for all future trips (in the best way possible)!

September 20, 2022

Meals on the boat were fantastic! Loved that most things were planned, but there was still some free time. ( Islands of Greece and Turkey ’22)

Maddy

Can’t wait for the next “Go Get Lost” experience!

September 20, 2022

Do not know how the trip could possibly be improved! Sitting on the bow of the boat when traveling. Swimming. The food on shore and on the boat was outstanding! ( Islands of Greece and Turkey ’22)

Barbara

Can't wait to do another trip with GGL!!!

August 6, 2022

Absolutely loved the hiking, views, food, company and “off the beaten path experience.” Sabine and Jeff were wonderful guides – such a great experience. Can’t wait to do another trip with GGL!!! (Italian Lakes and Mountains Jun ’22)

Melissa

The hiking was stupendous

July 30, 2022

The hiking was stupendous. The Refugios never cease to amaze me. Cable cars in Chamonix and Courmeyeur were mind altering. Sabine was a blast, Piero nice young man ready to bust you good on a hike. Our drivers were fun guys. How to improve the Mont Blanc trip? Maybe more info on options available on off days but that is splitting hairs really.

David

The beauty of the Alps is amazing

July 27, 2022

The group was friendly and capable. Sabine was an uplifting and encouraging guide. The hotels in Chamonix and Argentiere were very nice. The group dinner in Chamonix was a fun food and atmosphere experience.

I think the general thought from the group is 4 hours of hiking on most days would be better than 6-8 hours. Even though we had beautiful hotels in some of the cities, we had no time to enjoy the amenities or the city. The hiking description Jeff shared with me defined easy, moderate and difficult options for each day. We were really only offered difficult. The few times we had easy or moderate options would have resulted in us sitting in the van for several hours. Another recommendation is to provide more expectation regarding the trip….on your website and upon arrival. The majority of the group expected the hiking to be less difficult. —(A Ramble Around Mont Blanc Jul ’22)

Two trips 20 years apart! I WON'T wait another 20 years to do another one

July 25, 2022

Two trips 20 years apart. Both memorable, well organized and full of fun people. The people, fellow passengers, guides and drivers, all fun, supportive and friendly.

I WON’T wait another 20 years to do another one. (Mont Blanc Jul ’22)

Mont Blanc with Go Get Lost was an Experience of a Lifetime for both of us!

July 24, 2022

Sabine was amazing – she had everything planned out & made us very confident on the hikes. The views were absolutely stunning. Our fellow travelers were great and just added to the overall experience. Our guides assessed each hiker and supported them to accomplish the hikes each and every day. We had a great sense of accomplishment after each hike. Food was above our expectations. Our drivers were great.

Hiking trip to Mont Blanc with Go Get Lost was an experience of a lifetime for both of us! GGL takes care of every detail. Taking the tour allowed us to focus on the experience, the amazing beauty, and the challenge of the hike each day.

Mark and Kathy

Go Get Lost's special touch and attention to details made my trip such an amazing experience

July 23, 2022

Sabine was a bundle of fun and awesome guide. I loved every minute of this trip; The people, the food, the culture, and the spectacular hiking. Too bad the trip wasn’t long enough. Go Get Lost’s special touch and attention to details made my trip such an amazing experience. (Italian Lakes and Mountains Jun ’22)

Italian Lakes and Mountains Jun '22

July 21, 2022

Every trail had spectacular views!

Diana W.

It was a good chance to soak up some of the culture

July 20, 2022

I didn’t really get to know Sabine very well or hear any of her stories because I couldn’t keep up with her. When I did catch up, I didn’t have time to catch my breath or get my hiking poles out. I would have liked just a few more minutes of rest before continuing on.

I enjoyed swimming in Lake Riva and our picnic lunch. Riva del Garda was my favorite town. I also enjoyed the lunch breaks at the Refugio’s. It was a good chance to soak up some of the culture. For me, the Italian Lakes and Mountains tour would be rated 4/5, overall Go Get Lost Experience would be 5/5.

Laura

The ONLY international travel we have done has been through Go Get Lost- this was our 5th trip

July 20, 2022

Mont Blanc trip hikes while challenging were amazing! Each hike had incredible views and surprises along the way.

Sabine and Piero were wonderful guides and personable. They truly cared about our experience, safety, and comfort.

Each day on a “Go Get Lost Adventure” is always amazing.

Maggie

Guides were awesome and greatly enjoyed trip of lifetime

July 20, 2022

Amazing hikes and scenery. Guides were awesome and greatly enjoyed trip of lifetime. Terrific food and loved the group dinners as provided great bonding time.

Drivers were awesome and went above and beyond to accommodate my wife who fractured her ankle in Paris right before this started. (Mont Blanc Jul ’22)

Greg & Jacquelin

Great trip, guide, food, sights, hiking, great memories, great friends, and great value!

July 19, 2022

Great trip, great guide, great food, great sights, great hiking, great memories, great friends, and great value! Did I say great enough times?? 🙂 You must go on these trips. Very well organized and run.

The best part of the trip was the people. I did love the hiking and the places we were at but the people made this trip the best. It would still be great if I was with a group of people I didn’t know but not the same.

Sabine and Jeff made the trip a lot of fun. I am a traveler that loves to be out all day so the hotels are not a huge issue with me. The hotel food was fine but the restaurants that we went to were really, really good. Brian B. (Italian Lakes and Mountains Jun ’22)

Brian

Sabine and Piero were great!

July 19, 2022

Sabine and Piero were great! And their English is much better than my Italian! With that said, it was difficult to understand them and they are not group leaders. They tried their best but they were thrown into a difficult situation when Jeff had to cancel, which we all understand.

Paul

It was fabulous!

July 19, 2022

It was fabulous! The hotel staff were all friendly welcoming and accommodating.

Being my first hike of this level I enjoyed it and ready to go back. The length of the hike and the ability to go back at any time was well planned, I never felt uncomfortable due to lack of hiking experience. (Italian Lakes and Mountains Jun ’22)

Janet

This is a trip not to be missed!

July 19, 2022

We truly loved it all. Traveling with great friends, beautiful scenery with amazing hikes and friendly locals. Excellent and friendly service at hotels and restaurants. (Mont Blanc Jun ’22)

Debra

We would recommend the Go Get Lost Italian Lakes and Mountains to all our friends as a fantastic memorable experience!

July 19, 2022

The hikes were the best parts as well as the Northern Italian towns we stayed in. The lunches in the Rifugios were terrific. Restaurants with the best views in the world. Jeff and Sabine were both very attentive and tried hard to deal with the vageries of weather etc. They were always pleasant and upbeat. The breakfasts were terrific at all three hotels! The first night’s dinner at the Vatican in Riva was amazing!

June 22, 2022

Dierdre was always spot on and positive. We had a good group of 9 people. Weather was always sunny and 70+ degrees. First day of hiking was great. We thought James was a great addition to our day. The locals that Dierdre contacted to help with the tour were all informative and added a great deal of knowledge to our visit.

Go Get Lost in Ireland

February 22, 2021

The hiking through Ireland with Joan and Steve was truly a memorable experience. Everything from the hike through the Gap at Dunloe, the boat ride on the Lakes of Killarney, the hike high above the coastal cliffs, the strolls through the quaint Irish towns and the visits to the Irish pubs was a remarkable way to see Ireland. What a way to get lost. We’d get lost with Joan and Steve again.

Marty Sclisizzi

Two wonderful trips!

February 9, 2021

I’ve taken 2 wine trips with Go Get Lost–one through the Bordeaux area of France and the other to Argentina (Buenos Aires and Mendoza). Both were so well done and much fun and educational as well. There is a good balance of organized tours and free time. Both trips included some little gem of an experience that we weren’t expecting. When we can travel again, I will not hesitate to go on another Go Get Lost tour!

Lynn Speck

Many years of travel with Go Get Lost

January 28, 2021

My husband and I have traveled with Go Get Lost many times and each trip has been fantastic. From Italy (3 times) to the Greek Isles, to Argentina each trip was unique but with one major activity that continues to draw us to them – wine and food. The planning is impeccable and if there were any hangups, we sure weren’t aware of them. All lodging has been perfect for the setting and the local guides knowledgeable and spoke English well. Restaurants have been fantastic with any accomodation needed made with no problem (we don’t eat pork). And one of the best parts is that one of the owners is on every trip so that there is always someone there to solve a problem and it’s fun to meet who we spoke to to set up the trips. They have trips for maximum activity and trips for those of us who like to eat and drink. Highly recommend giving them a try for a wonderful travel experience.

Worth every penny!

January 20, 2021

My husband and I traveled with Jeff in Ireland. What a beautiful place! We had so many neat experiences while touring with Go Get Lost. When they say they specialize in unique, small group tours, they mean it! We had beautiful hikes with incredibly knowledgable guides, a carriage ride from our lodging to the start of our hike in the Gap of Dunloe, a “slow food” lunch where we had the unexpected opportunity to speak with the local producer of the award-winning cheese we were enjoying, drinks in a small-town pub where we learned how to make the perfect Irish coffee, a class with a master whisky maker that included sample flights, castle tours (one included being able to talk with the local clan historian), an amazing meal with a private menu where the chef sat down with us beforehand to describe all of the options and why she chose those items, live music at a local pub, and even a private, live music concert by local musicians on our last night together! Whew! These are just a small sample of experiences from the well thought out and well-organized trip we had. My mother toured Ireland with a large bus tour group. She had a completely different trip than we did. The opportunities to experience the hidden gems made our trip so unique and special. We would (and will!) gleefully travel with Go Get Lost on any one of their offered tours. A trip with Go Get Lost will never be regretted. It is worth every penny!

Alison Baker

Bordeaux the Best Trip Ever!

January 15, 2021

Absolutely loved the Bordeaux trip! The wine was wonderful, the fellow travelers were delightful and the side excursions were great. The last 2 days of the journey were idyllic and allowed us to reminisce about the previous week and all the lovey wines we tasted. There was time to shop and explore the lovely harbor. We would do this trip again. Choose more wineries and conclude the trip in the same charming area. Biggest complaint??? The trip was too short!!

Linda & Marvin Bowen

Wonderful Trips

January 13, 2021

A Go Get Lost adventure combines the elements that can only yield an extraordinary vacation experience. You travel in a small group that from your first group meeting creates a feeling that you get the experience of travel veterans but the comfort of traveling with friends. Jeff and Steve are not only knowledgeable they are also resourceful. They make it their business to fill your days with educational and enjoyable tours while also making certain that you have ample opportunities for leisure time enjoying a glass of wine and conversation at a local establishment. Hotels are always clean and well-located and Jeff and Steve’s knowledge of great restaurants and free time activity show they have studied every community visited. We have traveled with Jeff and Steve across Italy. We could not ask for better trip leaders.

Stuart & Merle Shiffman

Best travel experience ever!!!

January 11, 2021

I have been on several hiking trips through Italy ; one with my girlfriends and one with my husband and other couples. Both experiences were trips of a lifetime. The trip leaders were well prepared and enthusiastic . Their main priority was to make your experience as authentic as possible and the itinerary was designed to take you off the beaten path and into the local environment . Each trip left us with a lifetime of wonderful memories. We are now planning another trip once safe to do so under Covid restrictions . Highly recommended.

Touring Southwest Ireland

January 11, 2021

Not only was this tour an adventure, it was educational, a social time ,great accommodations and wonderful culinary delights.It was so well organized that everything seemed to just magically happen.Undoubtedly it was worth every penny and I had to pay 25% more as I am Canadian!

Sue Moxon

Steve and a Joan are awesome tour planners and very knowledgeable about their tours. It was great to actually have them with us on the trip.

January 9, 2021

The tour was planned very thoroughly! All the places we traveled to were amazing to see and to experience in Italy. They work with terrific tour guides to share great information about the large cities. Every dinner/meal that was included was top notch. The wine was always plentiful. Transportation was always on time and the drivers were friendly and took great care to get us to each place. The daily schedule was very flexible. You could join the group for a hike or simply stay behind and spend time at the beautiful beaches. Time was also built in to explore on your own. I plan to take other tours in the future with Go Get Lost.

Doug Goss

Most memorable experiences ever!

My husband and I wanted to visit Italy on a tour, but we did not want a conventional experience. We researched a tour that would include not only history, food, and fine wine, but also exercise so that we could enjoy everything without hesitation. We have had three tours with Go Get Lost that covered all our criteria and so much more. There is nothing to compare to visiting a country on foot. We had the most unbelievable trailside picnics prepared by our tour guides. We experienced dinners prepared by Michelin Chefs with copious amounts of amazing Italian wines. We saw sites that the average tourists never sees due the small group size and our guides connection to the people of this country, in our case it was Italy. It is with the highest enthusiastic rating that we highly recommend any of the adventures with Go Get Lost.

Very enjoyable trips

January 9, 2021

We went two times to Italy the same trip we had such a good time. We did not have to worry about anything. The people with Go Get Lost took care of everything. We went with a group the first time the second time my wife put a group together and went again. Both times all went very well great people at Go Get Lost. We are going to a 3rd trip with Go Get Lost when decide where we wanna go.

Two once in a lifetime trips!

January 8, 2021

I have been so lucky to have travel with Go Get Lost twice. These trips are absolutely AMAZING! The locations, accommodations, culinary experiences, and breathtaking scenery are something the regular traveler would never come across without Go Get Lost, as well as, the amazing guides I have been fortunate to have travel with. A MUST experience!

The trip of a lifetime

January 8, 2021

We really enjoyed the trip to Ireland. Fine food, company, and accommodations. The mix of people that were on the trip were great. Our hosts did their best to make us feel comfortable. The hiking was strenuous enough to get a workout so our dining experiences were guilt free. The scenery was magnificent. From castles to pubs, coastlines to shopping , we saw it all.

I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking about visiting Ireland.

Amazing Italy

January 8, 2021

Every detail was perfect in this small group walking tour of the Ligurian Coast. Every day and evening was a never to be forgotten experience with amazing views on our easy hikes. Just when you’d least expect it there was an incredible lunch with the opportunity to have hands on with pizza making or learning about local culture and heritage. There was a perfect blend of group activities with plenty of private time to explore. Lodging perfect. The dinners and wine were out of this world. If you want to experience an Italy you will never forget, book this tour!

I refer to them as the Fabulous Fafoglia Brothers for good reason

January 8, 2021

We have taken three trips, including one just after I retired in 2005. They have all been enjoyable and and food and wine wonderful. But Jeff, Steve and Joan make the trip more fun by their attitude and enthusiasm. I still have very strong memories of an evening boat ride near the island of Stromboli on another trip, sipping wine and laughing and then settling into a very placid mood as the sun set and we returned to the hotel.

Fantastic trip where experience matters

January 8, 2021

Our hiking trip around Sicily and across the volcano Mt Etna was truly a remarkable experience. The tour is very professionally handled by the “Go Get Lost”staff with excellent accommodations, various dining experiences that pleased the palate and oh the wine! We highly recommend their tours. Fondly, J Thomas & Sharon Fischer, Venice, FL

Trip of a life time

January 7, 2021

Our hiking trips in Italy and Ireland are incredibly memorable. The beauty of the walks we took as well as the towns we visited are unforgettable. We met some great people and enjoyed meeting locals in both countries . Top it off with great food, wine, and Jeff, our knowledgeable guide and you truly will have a trip of a life time.

Had 2 great trips!!

January 7, 2021

We traveled twice with Jeff , once to Italy and once to Greece. Both trips were small groups with great accommodations and guidance. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a trip that would exceed expectations. Ours did!

Michael Hughes

Super organized and unforgettable experience!

January 7, 2021

Our trip to Greece with Jeff is unforgettable. He took care of coordinating absolutely everything for us and we didn’t have to worry about anything, he even went above and beyond and helped me finding a restaurant and making a reservation for my husband’s birthday. The hotels were amazing, transportation, tours, boat, food.

Can’t wait to start traveling again.

Walking the cinque terra

January 7, 2021

It was my first experience with “Go Get Lost” and it was totally delightful. Every detail of a trip was taken care of by the Fafoglia’s. Their knowledge of the area is great because of the time they spend immersing themselves in the area. You couldn’t ask for more pleasant and patient tour hosts.

Truly "Once in a Lifetime" Adventures

January 7, 2021

If you want an adventure and not just a trip somewhere, Go Get Lost is your best choice. I love seeing and experiencing things that most tourists will not.

The safari to Tanzania was the perfect blend of remote scenery, roaming wildlife, and adventure while still maintaining a level of comfort and safety. Galapagos Islands were a dream since college years that came true. Australia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Indonesia/Bali and many more . . years of traveling with Go Get Lost and NEVER disappointed!

The small group is another advantage of Go Get Lost as well as their ability to sample the REAL culture of the area. I’ve made life-long friends on these trips.

I will never forget these memories (and Fafoglia family) and feel lucky to have had the experiences. I think that pretty much says it . . it’s an experience, not just a tour.

Pretty sure that Go Get Lost may have helped Chris Young write his song . . “no bars on my cell phone sounds good to me . . lost down some old back road”

Tuscany

January 7, 2021

Our trip to Tuscany was so amazing, it was our first time traveling to Europe. Jeff and Alessandro made it a trip of a lifetime, we have so many great memories and new friends. We can’t wait to experience the Amalfi coast with both of you later this year. Once you have traveled with Go Get Lost you won’t travel any other way!

Checked off my bucket list!

January 6, 2021

The experiences from my Go Get Lost adventures are priceless! Dancing the Tango in Argentina, blending my own wine, and drinking wine at a winery in Bordeaux were all on my bucket list! The memories of past trips and the expectations of traveling again in 2021 have helped get me through 2020. The guides have been top notch, and getting to know fellow travelers with similar interests made it feel like a family outing. If you want an adventure that feels personalized with a group that’s the perfect size, try Go Get Lost!

Karen Hunter Anderson

Bucket list trip to Italy

January 6, 2021

First class accommodations, cooking classes, bus rides around mountains and visiting small farms and wineries resulted in an outstanding trip! Go Get Lost didn’t disappoint. Pompei was fascinating. We toured museums and threw coins into Trevi Fountain in Rome, but we really enjoyed the small out of the way places we visited. Our wine tasting was at an intimate location in Sienna, and we ended up having wine shipped home. We had excellent guides and an amazing time.

Loved the Greek Islands

January 6, 2021

We saw small and larger Greek Islands on our adventure on the Aegean Sea. Some were not as well known and others are classics. The history of Rhodes was amazing! Our guide walked us through the medieval area with its shops and and small restaurants. The Symi landscape was breathtaking and we couldn’t get enough pictures as our yacht came into port. We even visited Turkey! Jeff had everything planned so we never had to figure out where to go or what to do. Loved the small group and made many friends. The trip ended too soon.

Laura Hansmann

Incredible Trip To Italy!

January 6, 2021

Jeff & Go Get Lost created an absolutely incredible trip for us… Everything from start to finish was top notch. Each day was thoroughly planned out, but also provided plenty of options and flexibility so we never felt constrained in any way. We went on a bunch of amazing hikes and experienced some of the best food and wine I’ve ever tasted! Jeff is not only world class at what he does when it comes to organizing these trips, he’s super knowledgeable about the history of the places you visit and he’s a ton of fun to be around… I highly recommend Jeff and Go Get Lost for your next adventure!

I can't imagine a better experience.

January 6, 2021

I did the Italian Lakes and Mountains tour with Go Get Lost a couple years ago. It was amazing! It was my first time traveling with this group and had no idea what to expect. Go Get Lost did all the research and planning. I met up with a group of strangers who quickly became friends. Jeff Fafoglia is very detail oriented and made sure that everyone had what they needed and what they wanted. The destinations were all beautiful and the hotels intimate, comfortable and interesting. I hope to be able to join up with Go Get Lost again.

A truly bucketlist trip

January 6, 2021

My wife and I created our own trip with GGL and brought with us about 12 clients of our gym.

GGL did an awesome job customizing the trip to meet our active needs.

I had never done a guided trip before and the best part about it was not having to worry about anything logistical. Going with experts of the area allowed us to see some thing that most “tourists” would have no idea about.

Can’t recommend them enough.

Travel with the Best!

January 6, 2021

My wife and I traveled with the Go Get Lost crew to Ireland in May 2020. Steve and Joan Fafoglia put an excellent agenda together with their knowledge or the area, hotel and restaurant contacts…was the best guided travel vacation we ever had!

Mark and Carol Harting

Looking forward to my fifth trip with you

January 6, 2021

Nancy and I travelled with Go Get Lost four times. If you’re looking for good food and wine, sights, fun, exercise with your legs and travelling with a small group of decent fellows, this is the place.

Go get lost with this company!

January 5, 2021

Hi, my wife and I have reveled in two tours with GGL, first to Dolomites in Italy and second time to SW Ireland in 2019. Talk about the pampered treatment: smaller tour group so no herd feeling ever, take you off the beaten path daily, we are hiker/walker types and they mix it up very well, lots of interesting exposure into culture, architecture, music, food,history. They know their product really well. Check em out.

Everything was very well planned down to the smallest detail. Jeff and Jason were great to work with and have fun with. The people in our group became lifelong friends. I would definitely recommend Go Get Lost for traveling.

The ONLY way to travel

January 4, 2021

GoGetLost does an amazing job of taking care of everything. We love not having to worry about every detail. Each day brings a fun adventure with surprises around every corner. We love the hiking, the food, the wine, and the friends and memories made. From our first trip to Tuscany, to our sixth trip through Spain and everything in between, our group has decided this is the only way to travel! We already have our next trip planned with GOGETLOST!

Best trips of our lives!

September 21, 2020

We began with the Cinque Terra years ago (2004) and were thoroughly hooked! We have since been to Sicily and the Amalfi coast, Venice and the northern mountains, Ireland, and Slovenia !! The Trips have been well planned, very well managed, and delightful. The groups have been small with lots of enjoyable interaction.

Off the Beaten Path!

August 7, 2020

One of our great passions in life is travel. We’ve planned trips on our own before – because we like to find the hidden gems and immerse ourselves in the cultural of the destination.

Sometimes we would take a year or more to plan these trips in detail.

Then we found Go Get Lost!

The entire Go Get Lost team takes the work out of destination travel!

They handle every aspect of the trip while finding places to visit that are seldom seen by the average traveler.

We’ve taken four trips with Go Get Lost and they continue to impress. We love the small groups and having everything taken care of for us. We can truly relax and enjoy knowing all the details are handled for us!

Three trips and counting

July 24, 2020

My partner and I have taken 3 trips with GGL and each was amazing, and when the world reopens, we look forward to 2 trips already on the books. The itineraries are well planned, the hotels are terrific, the restaurants are unique with delicious foods and local wines. What do we like the most? The name of the company says it all: you “get lost” in the local countryside instead of hitting a bunch of tourist traps. But when you have to see a particular noteworthy site (read ‘touristy’), the local guides are knowledgeable and fit right in with the group. As a gay couple we were hesitant to travel with a group of straight married couples, but with GGL we have made life long friends we can’t wait to travel with again.
