The group experience was great. Hotels were top notch. I wish we would have had a more detailed itinerary prior to the trip and information about the excursions. Most of the group was exhausted and because you selected excursions on Day 1, you were stuck doing them as you paid for them. There is a lot more bus time than we had expected and stops along the way, so you are on/off the bus often and provided with so much historical information. Ireland is beautiful, but it was a long trip. We wish we had more down time and/or time in the city to explore on our own.
