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.
Very good tour. The places visited were very interesting and the scenery was magnificent. The hotels were good and the group of people we travelled with were lovely. would have to be the best tour guide we have ever had. Her passion for her job is infectious. Our driver was also amazing.

This trip provided a comprehensive overview of Ireland that whets one's appetite to know and see more about this beautiful country and its people. The highlights are just that as it is a complicated history and the natural beauty is apparent wherever one travels. The level of activity requires a good deal of walking and the pace is spirited. It meets the high standard of both G Adventures and National Geographic.

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.
As a parent, I look at traveling right now through the lens of my child. What will she enjoy? As if she is having fun, most likely, I will too. This adveture, had the right mix of scheuduled activities, downtime, movement, and experiences. My 12 year old loved the time that she spent on the tour and fell in love with Ireland. She enjoyed playing Gaelic Games, hurling, and learning Irish social dancing. She is still talking about the jail at Spike Island and the history of the Island. She loved hearing about the fairies and other Irish lore. The tour guides didn't just recite the facts to her, they told the stories that make up Ireland and brought it to life for her. She left the trip with memories for a lifetime and came home excited to share her adventures with her family. Less than 24 hours after the trip, she is excited to tell her dad that G Adventures goes Antarctica and and that we should start planning.
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.
Dive right into history, culture and spectacular scenery on this immersive England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland trip. Step in the shoes of Highland warriors, 12th-century monks and welcoming, Irish locals.

Fantastic trip director and bus driver, Karin Reum and Noel. They made the trip a total experience with laughter, merriment, and compassion along our journey. Great itinerary, hotels, staff at the hotels and restaurants were extraordinary, and side excursions were great fun. I worked in the incentive travel industry for 30 years and I have to say this group was the best of the best. They really cared about our well being and always over delivered with little surprises to go above and beyond. The motor coach was awesome too! Exceeded my expectations!!
These are full days packed with lots of information, the bus and all the people in it become family. You don’t have to be fit but there is a lot of walking. They help to get you into places where you’d otherwise have to queue up for hours. Amazing scenery
Great trip
Great travel director
Great bus driver
Good variety of activities included and optional
Hotels good
Included meals good
Seat rotation on bus very helpful and fair
Travel Director was incredibly knowledgeable about a
Wide range of subjects relating to Ireland
She was able to quickly arrange alternative
Sites to visit when weather interfered with scheduled activities for example trip to Aran Islands was cancelled because of weather
didn’t overwhelm us with too much
Information at once, Instead she would give us some and tell us she would return to subject the next day and she would!!
I was victim of a pickpocket in Dublin, first day of trip and lost everything including passport
accompanied me to police station. Made police report. Helped me cancel credit cards. Get passport photos and offered a lot of emotional support
My travel partner and I are very grateful
Bus driver was wonderful too as were other tour participants
We were able to continue with the tour without difficulty
Pace of trip was a little hurried for us
We like to read plaques
I think Insight and travel industry should work with Dublin police to stop petty crime
Pickpocket thief is apparently well known to law enforcement
Posted warnings about pickpockets in high risk areas might help
The trauma, inconvenience and expense of this event have been significant.
As I write this I am in Seattle awaiting a regular passport….a six hour process and a 5 hour drive from my home in Portland.
