Our tour was nothing short of exciting and wonderful. I loved exploring history having a well rounded, knowledgeable tour guide by my side. Lee & Craig showed a genuine caring & understanding for our wants and needs; I am extremely satisfied with how the last week went. Through ups & downs they kept us positive & motivated. I would definitely recommend this trip to future tourists, friends & family!
I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.
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
The whole itinerary was fantastic and I loved every minute of it. My only comment relates to finding places to purchase lunches and getting back to the bus on time. Some towns required a long walk to find a food outlet which then puts you under pressure to return to the bus.
That it was amazing and that , our tour director, had added more fun and depth to the trip and has just taken it to another level. She is very knowledgeable and has an extraordinary way of accommodating everyone’s needs and queries. is literally a win for your business. I also wanted to appreciate and the exceptional help and smile he managed to maintain throughout the 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.

Coach awesome as it had charging stations for phones every seat Tour director Francesca was fabulous as was Coach driver Kevin
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.
