Budget Trips to Ireland

Each day was well planned out with lots to do, but also stops for bathrooms and food and breaks. The local guides were great and I really enjoyed the bus tours of each city where we covered a lot of ground in a short time.

The best part of the trip was Ireland. The trip was smooth and the place was beautiful. London Heathrow Airport was a disaster. We missed our connecting flight to Dublin. Due to the strike going on, we could not find anybody to book us on another American Flight because there was nobody at the counter. We had to pay to get a flight to take us to Dublin. Our luggage was lost as well due to this mayhem. When we got to Paris, we could not enter the Palace of Versailles or go to the Molin Rouge because there were no tickets available. We should have been advised to buy them ahead of time by the guide if she knew that this could happen.

Overall it was a good experience with the tour however for the Edinburgh leg the bus should have dropped us to the hotel so that we could keep our luggage and explore the city without wasting time...considering everything shuts really early in these cities and we were there for just half a day having the local guide bus tour was a waste of time in my opinion...all of the information is available on Google, which is why we skipped the london and dublin city tours and explored them on our own, you guys should instead keep those optional and give us city transport vouchers maybe....Alnwick castle though optional was really good and that could be included in the tour...All the staff, both the guides Neus and Diego and the driver Lee were excellent.

The details provided by Europamundo are indeed very helpful. The itinerary was almost followed. No complaints. However, a suggestion that since people travelling are new to the places mentioned it is your responsibility to create it in such a way that they can enjoy the trip. Too many places 12 included in our 7 nights 8 days trip left little time to actually absorb the wibe of the place.

Tour leader Gaby was amazing. Daily itinerary fast paced but worthwhile to explore the sights. Was given incorrect collection time information in MyTrip and voucher I received didn’t not confirm time. Was not until I contacted via the app that I was told the collection time for the transfer from pre night hotel to the tour start hotel. Overall great experience

Itinerary was fully packed as expected. However, day available at London on 20th May was not correctly utilized. Of full available day, some people went for optional Windsor Trip and rest were left own their own to move about. It could have been well organized to include London Eye/River Cruse/Wax Museum/Hyde or Reagent Park etc for the all passengers as a whole even if costs entrance fee which may be charged in the total tour costs. Other tour operators always include these important tourist attractions in London. Atleast two nights stay must be planned at important cities to make it enjoyable and less hectic even if some less important places need to be excluded in the itinerary. Rushing and trying to cover maximum cities kills the leisure time.
