It was excellent in every way. was the best tour guide. was very nice.
The visit to the farm was so memorable. The bog, learning about animals and it’s fair to say, I will never have a two week old lamb cuddling next to my face!
in Derry was outstanding. His explanation of events and daily life was superb.
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.

This was a fun trip, but it was very fast-paced. It gave a great overview of all that the UK and Ireland have to offer, but there wasn’t enough time to see very much of it in depth. It’s perfect for helping you pick out the places you want to see again in more detail. It involves a fair amount of riding around on the coach, but the route is consistently planned with carefully spaced “comfort” breaks. Some of the stops in small towns were given too much time, when there wasn’t much to do or see, and some of the stops could have been longer, when there was a lot to see or do. Our Tour Director was excellent, and so was our driver. Most of the hotels were very nice, with a few that were just OK. The included group dinners weren’t very exciting, but they were reasonable and tasty.

The tour was extensive, but was well organized. The places selected were interesting for the most part. I liked the Powerescourt gardens, Kinsdale, the horse and carriage tour and the Cliffs of Moher. I enjoyed the way in which the driver maneuvered the coach through the beautiful roadways of the Republic of Ireland, in particular.
The best part of the trip was Ireland. The trip was smooth and the place was beautiful. London Heathrow Airport was a disaster. We missed our connecting flight to Dublin. Due to the strike going on, we could not find anybody to book us on another American Flight because there was nobody at the counter. We had to pay to get a flight to take us to Dublin. Our luggage was lost as well due to this mayhem. When we got to Paris, we could not enter the Palace of Versailles or go to the Molin Rouge because there were no tickets available. We should have been advised to buy them ahead of time by the guide if she knew that this could happen.
