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.
JImmy, our tour guide was great. He took care of everyone and one night I was not at dinner, and he called the room to make sure that I was ok. He told many stories of the area that we traveled and was always glad to answer any questions.
Pat was our motorcoach driver, a great and entertaining driver.
