The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

The 11 day excursion was perfect. We circled around Ireland, seeing the best sites. We had a wonderful tour director who took care of all the planning and a terrific driver who navigated our course flawlessly. Between the fantastic Irish scenery, the natural wonders and the history, it was a well rounded tour. Some days were spent at ancient sites and others with the everyday Irish lifestyle. I highly recommend Trafalgar as a touring company and Ireland as a lovely and peaceful destination.

A very busy agenda!! And truly awesome!
Such history with the troubles, the locked gates, and the passion of the people reliving their past! I loved Northern Ireland and the north of Ireland, with its histories, high cliffs, rock wells, sheep, and vastness!! Our guide was incredible with her stories, geological histories, and very cool humor!! And our weather was stellar!! No rain and tons of sunshine!!
Hotels were lovely, food great, and bus mates wonderful.
