The trip was amazing Ireland is beautiful! Our tour took us to some ou of the way places I’m sure I would never have been able to find. Our driver and tour guide were outstanding
Itinerary is great but it’s rushed in some places. Food is limited with not many choices. Bus driver and travel director were amazing, couldn’t have asked for better. Definitely not a relaxing trip but we’re so grateful to have had this opportunity to visit Ireland.
I thought The Best of Ireland was an amazing trip that hit all of the highlights of Ireland with some extras that were very enlightening! I loved the sheep herding excursion. It was very interesting and the lunch was amazing! The owners were a delight and were genuinely happy to have us experience their sheep farm and home-made meal. Apparently, this was the first time visiting and I think Trafalgar should make it a permanent addition. All of the hotels were pretty nice and there were walkable restaurant/shopping options. Our tour guide, **************, was absolutely wonderful! We ended up staying an additional week in Ireland and visited Hook Lighthouse. I think this would be a wonderful addition to The Best of Ireland. Thank you for all of the awesome memories!!
We were nervous about our first bus tour. But happily had the time of our lives. Our TG Allie was perfect. The itinerary was excellent.
Really great schedule and tour director !
Tour guides were great. Would be nice if the bus stopped a little more rather than just driving by. Missed out on a lot of good pictures. We had a good group of people on the bus.
Overall great itinerary! More time could have been allocated to seeing the Cliffs & Blarney castle
Wonderful trip. Great host (Alie) who was totally well versed on histories and interesting facts about geography, etc. on every area that we visited. I can not say enough about our total satisfaction with the tour.
The itinerary on this trip was wonderful, you had the mix of city and countryside. What made this trip reallly, really good was the Tour Director, Allie. She imparted so much knowledge throughout the trip, both historical and folk lore. She was fun, engaging and created a close group out of 47 of us on the bus.
Very busy but great. The history of Ireland as it was being told to us was very interesting also.
It was a very good Itinerary although there is so much to see in Eire. Our Bus Driver Dave was not Friendly Shane our Tour Guide was not friendly on the first few days and seemed very stressed. He warmed up a it towards the middle of the trip and improved after that. Some optional extras were not available with little explanation as to why. This was confusing as they were advertised as available when we booked which helped us decide on picking the tour only to discover the were not even offered when we got there! Hotels were fabulous except Galway which was older and a bit dated with hard mattresses Food and meals were excellent. We liked the surprises that Shane organized. And his knowledge and history was excellent
