The trip was great! Landscaping was beautiful and especially the rainbows that you saw. The hotels and employees were very nice! Joel, our tour guide was awesome and so was our chauffeur, Tom . Joel was so informative about Ireland and Scotland. I just wish I could remember everything he talked about.! The history is interesting I think they went beyond and above for us on the trip. The weather was tricky ! But overall, it was a a nice trip! The downside was I wish I got to spend more time at all the towns that we stopped at. The quaint little towns were interesting. I understand that we were on a timeline. The other thing is, people should be considerate when they are sick and wear a mask on the bus.. By the end of the trip I was sick Thank you

Great trip. Adam and Brooke were amazing. Would highly recommend this tour. Local guides were knowledgeable and personable. Ronan, especially, made his tour memorable with his knowledge and perspective on Ireland. Itinerary was well thought out and Brooke’s knowledge of the countries and histories added greatly to the experience.

Loved the organization of our Scotland trip! Steven, our guide, was excellent! Some of my favorite trips were Bosnia and Beyond and Baltics in Winter (older version). Great communication with the US office in planning.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the sites, sounds and tastes of Ireland and Scotland while your driver and tour guide keep you safe and sound. See places you've heard about all your life, like Blarney Castle, the Giant's Causeway, and Loch Ness, although I was disappointed that Nessie wasn't available for a photo shot. And don't forget all the amazing people you'll meet along the way.

I had an amazing trip. It was run like a well oil machine. Your bus driver was completely amazing. How he drive in some of those tight spots was simply amazing and I operate heavy equipment and have drive bus. Simply the best driver I have seen. was an amazing guide. He explained things and answered any questions or concerns we had. The itinerary was very tight and would have liked more time in certain places but understand the tight schedule as well.
