You want to see the British isles/Ireland ? This is it. You will see it all. Plenty of time where needed. Most relaxed, easy going, effortless way possible. I was completely satisfied with the meals, the hotels, the coach, the guide. Everything.

Nan C.On Aug 3, 2025

I loved every place we went to. Highlights for me were Edinburgh, Ireland, the Isle of Skye, Dartmoor, Torquay, the Roman Baths in Bath, Lincoln Cathedral, Stonehenge. We had informative and interesting guides, especially our guide in Widecombe. I would have liked to spend more time in some places, and sometimes felt rushed. The trip could easily have been twice as long. However, it did give me a wonderful overview of the loveliness and history of this part of the world.

Robert R.On Aug 3, 2025

The itinerary itself was fine. However, at times we felt rushed; we would have liked to have spent more time at some venues - e.g Edinburgh. However, we recognize that each person is different; some would like to spend more time at some venues, while others might like to spend less.
