I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.
This tour was my first one internationally. I loved it. We spent alot of time on the bus and moving from hotel to hotel for 9 days. 1300 miles. It was alot with 46 people in one space. One person came on sick and everyone else got it. Despite that, the excursions were outstanding. The culture is amazing and the weather was phenomenal, which we found out was very unusual.
Our Ireland trip was amazing, thanks to our phenomenal travel director, and our expert driver. enthusiasm and knowledge made every moment special, with fantastic suggestions for free time that led us to charming local spots and unforgettable experiences. skillful driving ensured we traveled safely and punctually, navigating the scenic routes with ease. The country itself is breathtaking with lush green landscapes stretch endlessly, from rolling hills to dramatic cliffs, the Atlantic Ocean views along the coast are simply awe-inspiring, and the enchanting drive through Killarney National Park, where the forest’s misty, towering trees and serene lakes felt like stepping into a fairytale. This tour was a perfect blend of Ireland’s natural beauty and a top-notch team. I can’t recommend it enough!
Had such a fun week with an awesome group, trip manager and driver and loved exploring Ireland and seeing all the beauty it has to offer. A great way to see this country and make memories with new people who quickly become friends. Highly recommend!
My tour director, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He really made the trip memorable . We covered a lot of ground. , our bus driver, was amazing. The itinerary was great, it’s why I chose this trip.
It was our first time on a Trafalgar trip and most likely not our last. The scenery was spectacular, the tours were educational and fascinating. The hotels were top rate and the meals were delicious. Our Travel Director and Coach Driver were both outstanding. The whole experience was incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable. I highly recommend this company to anyone interested in a tour of this nature.
Tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable on everything from the history of where we were, to places to eat, to myths, legends and local stories. The driver was phenomenal and I have motion sickness which was never an issue with him behind the wheel. Would recommend to anyone who like me, wants a trip where they can just truly relax and enjoy knowing everything will go smoothly.
This grand Ireland trip is fit for royalty, including stays in the homes of Irish nobility. You’ll travel to Kildare and learn all about the racehorses of Ireland, visit the Ring of Kerry and watch how delicate crystal is cut in Connemara.
Travel through landscapes that have inspired world-famous writers and poets, from Shakespeare to Robert Burns. On this journey across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, you’ll admire medieval castles and cathedrals, wander past the famous Chester Rows and kiss the Blarney Stone. The idyllic settings of the Lake District, Dingle Peninsula and the Cotswolds give way to vibrant capitals and the little-known train station with the world’s longest name.
The entire trip was wonderful. I’m unable to single out just one city or experience because I enjoyed it all equally. I signed up for every optional experience and was not disappointed. I loved the ruins and the history from both our tour director and the specialists brought on in various areas.
