Best of Ireland and Scotland

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

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.

I was so delighted to share in the experience with 40 other wonderful people. The tour was well planned and the experiences we had were wonderful as well as educational.

The itinerary was awesome with many options and very accommodating staff and guides. Very informative local guides and clear and accurate instructions from Matt our tour director.

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.

Prior to the start of the tour we were sent options for each day. The director announced at the start of the trip he was narrowing down the choices shown to one choice each day. We were now in a position to take the option or be left in the town where we were staying to shop or be taken to our hotel. This was not smart of Trafalgar to give us as captive group. The bus director had very little information or knowledge of the countries as we traveled along our routes each of the 13 days accept at a few locations. He repeated what the plan was constantly during each day along the route and at the end of the day post on What’s App what we were going to be doing each day. I will no longer be traveling or giving friends positive feedback to use Trafalgar. I will continue taking more cruises on Viking as I have in the past. I hope things get better with info like this for Trafalgar.

Tour well put together. I thought the variety of experiences and places visited represented what I wanted to see.

Missed loch ness and would've liked to see cliffs of mohr

Great itinerary but visit to Culloden (Scotland) was not a good choice. Meaningful to the Scots but not regular visitors.

We enjoyed every moment. Especially the excellent shows of music and dance The top being the Edinburgh Royal Tatoo

There were a lot of optional experiences which increased the overall cost of the trip substantially. I would have preferred to have a number to be included in the trip with the overall cost increased so the overall cost was not such a surprise.

The personalised service and the local specialists that Trafalgar engage make the experience so much more rewarding.

Yes! The trip was just the right length and gave us a good overview of life in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
