It was a great trip touching many of the important must see places
I suppose an inclusion to Oxford or Cambridge and maybe Canterbury would have been great and completed a circumference of England.
However it was just perfect. was a great guide. His efforts to educate us in using the internet for communication was a bit beyond me. , great driving. A very good trip
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.

Hi there, I thought another day in Scotland would have been better. Maybe gone to Glasgow and then combined the last 2 days in the UK together. The last 2 days were a wee bit of a disappointment compared to the first part of the trip. Our TD was wonderful she is so knowledgeable and really knows her stuff.
It was excellent and we saw heaps.
Would like to have had time to see Shakespeare’s grave in church before we went to museum as church was closed by the time we got back to hotel.

The logical path taken to cover the places in the trip was good.
The trip should include more time in London, Scotland and York and not in Cambridge or Durham. Everything was closed in Durham by the time we reached and we could hardly see anything. Also the hotel room provided in Durham was not at all up to the mark.
Also, our family of 3 adults have travelled together and the rooms provided everywhere were double rooms converted to three-bed. There was no space to move around. Instead we should have been provided with one double room and one single room.
The guide was Spanish and was just able to speak in English. At times we found it difficult to follow him due to his strong accent.

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.
Hectic schedule but good. It was a good pace because you see a lot of different tourist attractions, walk around and then have a chance to sit on the bus for a bit to rest. Overall it was a good schedule.
