London Tours and Trips

Ben the tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. And always looking out for your safety. The bus driver Warren was very professional and amazing driver. He takes a lot of pride in his bus. Made sure it was always very clean. And the tour itinerary was amazing we saw a lot of beautiful places.

We loved Oxford, Scotland Highlands, Skye and the Orkney Islands. Also loved Ireland, would have liked more time in Limerick City than just one night. Cork City, Derry & Blarney were very memorable. Really enjoyed the Killarney Celtic Steps excellent show (seats need to be spread out) and the Welsh concert dinner evening (food and music outstanding). Loved all the local expert city walking tours, and countryside visits to Glendalough, Dartmoor, Killarney & dinners at Heskyn Mill & Torpichon. Glasgow was a very quick stop, seemingly only for dinner & staying in a very nice hotel. On the downside, at the Dublin Three Rock cabaret the dinner was mass produced & the show a bit hard to see through the crowd. The Norseman Hotel at Wick was disappointing as the towels were frayed at the edges and one doona cover was ripped. Overall we really enjoyed the tour.

The 10 day London to Italy trip was fast paced with early mornings, but it was amazing. I loved the group interactions and the tour director was amazing. She was positive and funny. She was a wealth of information. She interacted with the group but also made time for any individuals that needed a little extra. The daily travel plus the extra excursions are well planned. There was no pressure to do anything that someone wasn’t interested in. I felt included in everything, by the end of the 10 day trip, the group felt like a family.

The staff was very helpful to me. I had to wear a hinged knee brace and use walking sticks because I was recovering from a fractured kneecap during my trip. I had completed the special needs form so I had handicap accessible rooms and first floor rooms during my tour which was very helpful. I liked the mix of scheduled tours and free time. I did less exploring on my own than I normally would due to my knee injury. So I mainly rested during that time. I especially love the old architecture of the cities we visited.

This trip was a great introduction tour of the UK and Ireland. Very fast paced as far as mikes covered, but it didn’t make you feel rushed. The coach was very clean and comfortable. Only one hotel room was a bit cramped, but all the others were great. The breakfasts at ALL the hotels were above my expectations!

The walking encyclopaedia John with humor and being a master in what he does was the best!! We could'nt hope for a better tour leader. His knowledge is unbelievable and was very helpful to us with advising us where to shop for excample an open pharmacy on a Sunday in Lucerne. He was very punctual and thorough with his communication on whats app. We enjoyed the extra excursions and he went out of his way to take us to Cabrio when Mount Pilatus was closed due to snow fall in Lucerne. Mr Paul the friendly busdriver had excellent driving skills with all the challenging narrow European streets. They both made our tour very special. Although the tour was very haste, that was our decision, I can highly recommend this trip for the value of money and many countries that we have visited.
