Enjoyed the trip very much. Wonderful scenery We stopped at many beautiful places of interest. I do think it was too rushed. The Ireland trip covered too much territory in too short a time. We were required to be ready to go each morning too early for vacation.

Well thought out, allowing us to see many aspects of Ireland and Scotland

Both and did a great job. Thank you very much. The only negative was being pushed to pay for tips as.I was advised by our travel agent, that was not required. Loved Ireland ans Scotland

Frank G.On Sep 1, 2025

This was an excellent 15-day tour which captured all the best of Ireland and Scotland, its castles, landscapes and history. It is value for money and surpassed my expectations, and some of the hotels and meals offered were top class. Having been on a couple of Insight Vacations tours previously, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tour. I certainly would opt to go on other Trafalgar Tours and have my sights on Turkey, Spain, Portugal, South Africa and South America. Alas, being retired, I have to stretch my finances and hopefully, can achieve my goals in the next five years. The tour itinerary was remarkable in that it included all the famous sites that a two-week tour can capture. Starting with bustling Dublin and the enthralling Irish music, dance and humor cabaret, we went to Waterford and saw, amongst other products, the crystal replica of the Ashes trophy, the holy grail of cricket, fought over regularly between the Australians and English. Blarney Castle and the Blarney Stone story did not disappoint either. The drive around the Ring of Kerry and seeing the spectacular scenery, stopping at Galway, Derry / Londonderry, walking on the slippery stones of the Giant's Causeway, absorbing the history of Ireland, N Ireland and Scotland, a visit to Stirling Castle, Isle of Skye, Loch Ness and finally climaxing with the Edinburgh Military Tatoo. What a blast!!

We enjoyed our tour very much. The sights were interesting with a nice variety. The accommodations and food were very enjoyable as well. The tour was well organized and we had an excellent tour guide () and an amazing and skilled bus driver (). They worked so well together, by the end of the trip we all felt like one big family.

Very busy. Lots of walking and getting on and off the bus. You get a taste for lots of sites but never enough time to really get to know them. I saw them is often all ypu get.
