UK and Britain Beach Trips

This trip gave a very good insight into what Sri Lanka has to offer. Our guide 'Ash' entertained us en route to our destinations with stories which brought the history and culture to life. His passion for his country shone through every day and his sense of humour was infectious. He was ably assisted by Damith, our superb driver and Hamesh, his assistant, who was always there when we needed him. Our itinerary was varied from temples and wildlife to beaches and a world renown train journey on the Kandy to Ella train. We were very lucky in that we were one step ahead of the cyclonic depression which sadly left so much damage in it's wake.

This was my first time going to Ireland. The tour was very good. It was also a bit tiring. We had to be up early every day for breakfast and then on the bus but I guess that is the way we got to see so much. Our Tour Guide Denis Greene was fantastic! He let us know every day what was going to happen and what we were going to see. He also let us know about the next days adventure and if we needed anything special for that day. He went into detail about things we were seeing and doing. All of the tour guides for the other tours were wonderful also. Special thanks to our driver Enda who was so great on the narrow roads and got us safely everywhere. He also helped with information. An excellent trip!

For the third time in a year, Trafalgar not only meet our expectations, they exceeded them! From the detail of the pre-trip communication, the expertise, passion and personality of our Travel Director and the expertise of our Driver , Trafalgar came through. Overall the local guides were knowledgeable and showed their true love for their country and area a expertise. The only exception was the first one who seemed more annoyed and bothered, however it did not detract from the experience. The food was outstanding at ever included meal and the Be My Guest experiences were amazing! Great stories and really gave us a sense of what it would be to live in such a beautiful country. The one downside was the very apparent abilities of the fellow travelers. The size, 52 was complicated by the fact that more than 30% had GREAT difficulty throughout the trip. The roads and hills proved very challenging, and Trafalgar as well a mentioned this throughout the trip, providing options for those who might be challenged. Unfortunately, virtually everyone 'thought' they could do it. Even getting on and off the Coach was an 'experience'. Too much time was spent waiting around for everyone to get on an off, and then when on a walking tour, the group had to constantly stop and wait for others to catch up. This happened throughout the trip and was compromised by having 52 travelers. I 'jokingly' commented that Trafalgar should have a ability/agility test, especially for trips that might be a bit more strenuous. Realizing that this is not possible practical, it was unfortunate that so many were on this trip. Not surprisingly, these same individuals were always late to the Coach, sometimes more than 10 minutes... kind of like they had no concern for their fellow travelers and they were on their own private tour. We realized that this is 'part of the travel experience' and did our best to make the best of it.

Sri Lanka Explore trip was excellent! Our guide was awesome and went above and beyond our expectations. Je had a vast knowledge of every area visited. Food and accommodation was great . We're going back .

The tour leader was excellent, reaching out individually to all participants. The local guides also did a great job. The tour had stops throughout the country and all were beautiful and interesting. The hotels were also wonderful and well located.

Thailand was incredible!!!! The people here are very nice, and all the hotels and transfer services in Thailand were good quality. The trip was smooth, we didn't have any complain. Big thanks to the team!! In my opinion, Phuket was the highlight for me, the beach was gorgeous, and the nightlife was so much fun. Highly recommend this trip!!!
