Stratford-upon-Avon Tours and Trips

Every location and event were wonderful and memorable. Loved the high speed train and the huge Ireland ferry trips. From the start of the tour with the farm in Scotland to the River Dance at the end of the tour, it was wonderful.

Some accommodations did not have working AC and minimally workable toilets (York). We had too many tourist trap stops, gift shops. The tour guide was informative and friendly and provided excellent information.

Only item that I would like to have added is another day in London. Too much to see, and Hampton Court is nice, but it is not London. Our hotel in London was located about five minutes from Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and about 15 minutes from St. Paul. The drive and quick review of the big areas (Westminister, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, etc.) was good, but certainly not detailed enough. Everything else was great. Only one hotel was located in a loud, outdoor area...Cardiff, Wales. The noise/nightlife till midnight located right across the street (three outdoor clubs/pubs) directly impacted sleeping. My wife and I enjoyed the tour...I think she would have loved another day in Ireland.

loved the smaller cities like Cardiff and York. The Jonting ride in Killarney National Park., Ring of Kerry, coastal views, Blarney Castle.Actually I liked all the castles and history. Excellent local tour guides. Norman Greene deserves 10 stars excellent tour guide. Liked that we took different forms of transportation besides the bus. Enjoyed the train and Ferry. Enjoyed the cultural dance and music shows/meals. Bath and Hampton Court Palace were good choices. time was tight at Hampton Court if you wanted to see the gardens too. Only downside was only one day and an evening meal in Scotland. But over all saw so many sights and made good memories.

The tour included Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland. Family asked when we got back, What was your favorite thing? I couldn't pick just one thing because everything was so awesome. The few days spent driving on the bus was still great because we could see the landscape and get an idea of the whole area. Not just the touristy spots. We got to live history and walk in thousands of years old castles. Our tour guide, Graham Hughes, was so good, giving us details on the places we visited and keeping us on time. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. My wife and I absolutely loved ALL of it.

Our tour guide, Norman Greene was excellent. He provided interesting information throughout the tour. He was friendly, caring and had a good sense of humor. I would highly recommend him to anyone going on a tour.
