Great Britain and Ireland

The trip itself was amazing. The locations we went to were unbelievable. That being said, myself as well as a lot of the other people in the group found that some of the time spent in some cities was unnecessary and some of the places we would of wanted to spend more time in, we only had minimal time there. For example we spent 2 nights in Glasgow, where we all felt quite unsafe and didn’t have much to do, we also spent the whole day in York, which could have only been a few hours as it is a small town. We could have spent more time in Manchester as we only arrived in the evening and left in the morning, and the same with Derry. The accomodation in Glasgow was shocking, with no bathroom or privacy, it was just a shower with a semi see through glass and then no where to get dressed, so you would be getting out of the shower directly into the bedroom, which was uncomfortable as you are sharing a room with a stranger. The free time add ons were amazing. The Make Travel Matter experiences were the highlight, with the sheepdog farm experience in Ireland and the Highland Games and cow experience in the Scottish Highlands, also the canoeing on the Loch Ness and the Aran Islands day trip were amazing. This trip was overall so much fun, the whole group got along so well and everyone was so inclusive and kind. I would defiantly recommend this trip if you have an interest in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and England. Our trip manager was so thorough with her information and made the days and nights so fun. Our coach driver was also amazing and so skilled. Together and were so much fun and they were such a good team!

I loved the trip. You really get a good taste test of the countries you visit. The included and free time add ons give you the opportunities to do activities you wouldn’t necessarily think to do.

It was an amazing opportunity to be able to see all the cities and towns we visited and the activities I participated in. This trip was a great taster for certain cities/towns that I would love to go back to and explore one day. Most of the hotels were nice, the bus was comfortable and the company was awesome.
