Dublin: History and famous figures. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is one of the few buildings left from medieval Dublin. It is also on this site where St. Patrick reputedly baptized the local Celtic chieftains in the 5th century. The cathedral was later built between 1191 and 1270 and has come to be famous for its choir, also Ireland’s oldest. The cathedral’s burial site of author Jonathan Swift is one of approximately 700 burials on the site.

First off it was precious time with my sons. It was the first time the three of us have had an extended time together since they were pre-high school. Back then they loved playing sports and I had the privilege of being their coach. BTW - they are now in their mid forties. Everything about the tour was exceptional. Our tour director and driver were top notch. The other families and individuals in our group were great to spend our vacation with. Also want to give a shout out to our travel advisor from AAA Fullerton, California, Lowrie Vinson. We have had him set up several European vacations with Trafalgar and Brendan and have been grhateful for all he has done to make our trips memorable.
I had a wonderful trip. Our accommodations were for the most part wonderful. I would have liked air-conditioning at the Camden, as it was very warm, and the mattress needed replaced. The staff though was top notch. Radisson Red also needed to work out some of its service issues. Most of our group had their luggage delivered to the wrong guest room. I found my own luggage, but it was inconvenient as we had another event we had to head off to right away and I did not have time to tidy up. The other hotels we stayed had very nice rooms, views, and service. Ashford Castle is amazing and beyond words. The staff is dedicated to helping you have the most enjoyable visit. The food, grounds, and castle were everything you would expect and more. I enjoyed all the places we went and optional activities offereded. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Our bus driver was an extremely skilled driver. He got us in and out of some tight places. We had a great group and I enjoyed the trip immensely. Ireland is beautiful, and the people are friendly and welcoming.
Once in a lifetime opportunity

Well coordinated. Trip director was fun, knowledgeable about everywhere we travelled and provided lots of great information. Bus driver was the best. Accommodations were very nice. Overall experience was great.
My wife and I were blessed to have a wonderful tour guide who shared his expansive knowledge of Ireland. He shared personal stories, read poems and sang to our group all along our journey. We also had a terrific driver who was super experienced and professional. We felt extremely safe with him behind the wheel. All things considered, it was a near perfect trip.
