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.
Jam packed trip seeing the best sights of the UK and Ireland. The trip is fast paced and not a lot of time to immerse in each town but enough to see the sights and move on. Would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to see the highlights of the UK and Ireland with the knowledge of a trip manager to point out history and recommendations for activities food etc. Over the 18 days, I had so much fun which can be attributed to the enthusiasm of the trip manager and driver to make the trip enjoyable for us travellers.
Air travel was terrible. Too crowded. At my age, London was difficult to maneuver. Thank goodness for our catholic Charities group leaders and some of my fellow travelers. Our tour director was awesome. He had definitely prepared for this tour. And, our bus driver was very skilled and so much fun to be on our tour with as well. I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. The food was excellent. I signed up for the extra offerings and was not disappointed. Some of the hotels were not the cleanest. ( City Hotel ) comes to mind. Loved Scotland….it was so beautiful.
