So much thought and planning went into this itinerary to make the trip an amazing experience.
Good places visited but you will need to add on the optional extras to get the full benefits of the tour and add this to the cost of the tour as well as the expected gratuities for the driver and guide!!
Comprehensive and interesting
Had a great time but trip is full on. Would recommend having lifts in all hotels. A couple of places a bit hard lugging bags up stairs for us women
Expecting to go to Stone hedge did not also while driving through the county could explain more about the county side.
Stopping in place where not much to do especially if you weren't do optional package.
Nil
We thought the coach was comfortable and met our needs. We thought some of the hotels were too cramped and didn't have enough room for two people and our suitcases. We also thought some of the places we stopped at to look around had very little to see and the only reason we stopped there was because of convenience for the overnight stay.
It is the right one for people who don’t want to rush every day
2 days not required in Donnegal, additional time in northern Ireland would be better
Great value for money. Certainly not luxury accommodation but comfortable
The coach was only a few months old, and was very comfortable. Some of the accommodation was better than others, but, then again, that gives an authentic feel for the cities that you were in.
Need more 2 nights in same place
Some Hotels were in areas where we were told to move luggage from the street quickly to prevent it being Stolen. The Dublin hotel location surrounds were filthy.When we arrived at the hotel in Bradford a woman was robed by a passing motorcyclist.Overall the trip was way too fast.Not enough comfort stops.Too much Travel time on the Bus.Needs to be slowed down & more time given for stopping to enjoy &experience things.
It was a good trip with he was paitient funny all out a good man
Rushed. Apart from the optional extras nothing was organized for the people who opted out.
The Scottish highlands were incredible
There were just 2 hotels that didn't suite me, one in Scottish Highlands The Graiglynne Hotel it's a beautiful old hotel that i was looking forward staying at but when we went to our room the shower door and stand was broken which we told the reception about who promised to sort it out the next day which didn't happen also the room was dirty cobwebs, needed cleaning up. Dublin One was exceptionally small for 2 people and both hotels we stayed 2 nights.
Bus itinerary our tour director excellent some hotels a bit below par but also some good ones
The hotels some were great some not so. Overall, they were good, but some could have been a little better. The coach was new, so we had no problems with it. The itinerary was what I expected, and the castles and palaces were great. I would have liked a little more time at some locations, but the distances did not allow it.
