Go Driving School was the best driver's education experience I could have received in all of Kansas. In the beginning I was struggling to incorporate my schedule and distance with the typical time frames but Walter and the rest are extremely helpful and open to meet mine as well as other student's needs to be able to attend and complete their course. Classes were through and entertaining as Walter has a great sense of humor and he gets to the main points and nothing more, including the tests which were not made to deliberately confuse students compared to a traditional highway patrol test. And covers everything from emergency situations in every possible driveway and direction. (Did I mention animal crackers and waters were included in the course for students to snack on?) Walter is also great at explaining almost anything in his class in various languages including Arabic and Spanish. On the driving sessions, all my drivers (Notably Alan, Scott, and Barry) were all very educated and reflected everything that was covered in class and are able to accommodate to the Kansas City area to drop me off, but even though I am an experienced driver, the instructors are very patient and will have long and fun conversations through their trips and along the way improve whatever concerns you or the instructor has in mind. Overall I highly recommend anyone to have their driver's education classes here, that no matter the schedule or distance, they will make it work out, and it will be worth it. In the end I am a better driver and all set for a license thanks to Go Driving School, Thank you! Read Less

I almost never write reviews but felt this company's performance truly earned my time to do so. Go Driving was extremely well organized, easy to communicate with, the website and scheduling interface worked well, and the instructors (John and Walter) were fabulous. They did an amazing job helping my teenage son gain confidence and practice both in the classroom and behind the wheel. I would certainly recommend them to any parent looking to help their teenager build a strong base in safe driving. Thanks John and Walter! Read Less

I cannot say enough about the instructional model of Go Driving School, LLC. My teen initially insisted on another program that 'did it all in one day', but driving and all that it implies is not a topic to cram into a young mind in one day. I loved that the content was delivered over two instructional days, with an hour in between for a fun Downtown Lawrence lunch hour. I feel our son had the opportunity to learn and retain content in a meaningful way by breaking it up over two Saturdays. We were also impressed by the quick turnaround time to schedule driving; I've heard other schools have a very long wait...which, application of content is needed fairly soon after learning. Also, Walter and John were 'the man', according to our son-- he enjoyed learning from both and their real-world and sometimes catchy phrases with motions stuck with him: 'when the windshield wipers are on, the lights-are-on' will now be stuck with me, too. Lastly, I love that the Lawrence location had a variety of students from all walks of life--our son had the opportunity to meet people from other parts of the world learning to drive for the very first time, some as adults. I intentionally wanted him to see the privilege and responsibility that driving is, and learning alongside others who are learning to drive while balancing cultural and language demands helped broaden his experience, too. All the way around, Go Driving is excellent, excellent, excellent. Many thanks!! 5 STARS!!! Read Less

I never really write reviews for anything, but I have to tell you how amazing Go Driving School is. I am an adult and did not know how to drive. A combination of life events and then fear after a terrible car accident left me afraid to get behind the wheel. I finally decided that I needed to learn, though - at least for emergencies or something. So I did my research and talked to a few people and the folks at Go Driving seemed the friendliest and most knowledgeable. Thus, I enrolled myself. I went into the class nervous about not knowing rules of the road to graduating as an able driver. I am now the annoyance of my friends and family because I correct them on their driving. If you are a parent and want your kid to learn the rules of the road - and learn them properly - I highly, highly recommend this school. Incidentally, they were very capable at teaching people from all walks of life. My first language is English, but my class alone had people from several other countries and from several other backgrounds, including Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, to name a few, and I feel like those students were learning just as easily as I was. To make a long review even longer, I actually enjoy driving now. I never, ever expected to do so. I don't think I would be able to do so without having had a proper driver's education like the one I received from Walter and the rest of the instructors. Thanks, you guys. I am recommending you to everyone. 12/10 experience Read Less

Took several remedial driving classes with Brian in Manhattan. I learned a lot from the instructor. Brian taught me how to drive in city, highway, and campus traffic, and taught me how to use the brakes efficiently. I gained a lot of confidence from driving with him, was far more enjoyable then driving with my mother. Would recommend Go Driving School to everyone. Read Less

I recommend this driving school with 5 stars! the instructors are amazingly kind and patient, and the class sessions are wonderful! I got my licence in 10 days starting from the scratch! Thanks to Walter & Scott, Best instructors! Read Less

I made an observation to my daughter that she and her friends had no car accidents. She responded with "It's because we all took Go Driving Dad". I believe she's spot on with this observation. Walter and Janice run a First Class Business. Every student is special to them. Students don't get the same personal touch anywhere else. Read Less

Go Driving Lawrence provided an amazing experience for my mother-in-law. She is 57, a recent immigrant (hardly speaks English), and had never learned to drive. Walter provided engaging and thorough instruction with my wife acting as a translator. My wife was so impressed with the ease that he made the class engaging for the younger drivers and the couple of older first-timers. Apparently, many international students at KU seeking local instruction have honed his ability to teach to a wide range of learning styles and situations. Administratively, the web site scheduling is a breeze. However, I found Walter responsive to both email and phone communication when I wanted to make sure that this driving school could accommodate our situation. It was surprising to us that Kansas law allows the school to administer the driving test, so there is a lot less stress than the idea of going to the DMV to take the exam. Walter ensured that we had all of the necessary paperwork so that our trip to the DMV for the license after the course was very easy. The entire experience makes this school a bargain (it was already cheaper than a couple other schools I checked--I actually think they should charge more for the exceptional service and instruction that is provided). A great experience for both my wife and mother-in-law! Read Less

We chose Go Driving School for our teen, based upon friends' recommendations, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We drove in from out of town in order for our teen to take this course, and found we weren't the only ones coming from surrounding areas to enroll in this excellent school. Our teen felt such a sense of ease and accomplishment in completing this course with Go Driving, and we wholeheartedly recommend it without any hesitation. Registering online through their website, and scheduling both the classroom and driving portions of the course was easy. Communication was absolutely excellent between Go Driving and students/parents throughout the course- via e-mail, handouts, brief parent orientation, and face-to-face instruction. Walter has a true gift for teaching--he's funny and friendly, engages the students and quickly learns their names, makes excellent and memorable points, and is a real pro. You couldn't ask for a better teacher, in any subject! Our teen loved the classroom work, learned a lot from Walter, and was able to recite back word-for-word the important information and lessons Walter taught the class. For the driving portion of the course, our teen drove with both Alan and Diane, and thought both of them were excellent: friendly, knowledgeable, relaxed, and able to teach the hands-on portion in a way that built confidence in a new driver and helped important lessons stick. Fantastic experience--thank you, everyone at Go Driving! Read Less
