Ireland Sightseeing Trips

The flight schedule made the trip very nice, transportation to and from the hotels was fantastic. Our tour guide *personal info removed by Feefo* was AMAZING in all aspects of the tour. His attention to EVERYONE'S needs was fantastic. I'm sure that his support team was a big part of that but, his knowledge of the country and interests in what visitors are interested in. People all over the country treated him as family as we arrived at beautiful out of the way places. Dinners in different settings was a joy. It would be difficult to mention how anything could have been better.

The bus tour was the perfect way to see the countryside and be able to experience the local towns and culture. Our tour guide made the tour beyond exceptional. She was so knowledgeable and took really good care of us through each day. The tour was very well organized and all the hotels were beautiful, delicious food and options, and we loved the hospitality of everyone we met.

The trip was wonderful. The coach was very comfortable The hotels were great. The tour guide *personal info removed by Feefo* was incredible. His knowledge of Ireland and Scotland was never ending. He provided a ton of history and stories throughout the trip. I found the cost of the extra excursions to be far more than I expected. I feel that many of the excursions should have been included. Ireland is very tourist intensive with great hotels, pubs and restaurants everywhere. The country side is beautiful and the Ring of Kerry was incredible. Scotland tended to be more rural but very beautiful. The hotels were a little less extravagant but still very nice and comfortable, the Isle of Skye was magnificent with the valleys and mountains. All of the cities were engaging with the history and ancient buildings. Most of the local guides were very interesting but it was very difficult to understand everything they were saying. I'm not sure what could be done to improve.

Each day, you had the option of a couple of hours of down time on your own in the afternoon to rest or do whatever you chose to do. That was very nice for those of us who needed to recharge our batteries. Also, we had an excellent tour guide and an excellent bus driver who went out of their way to help those who were a bit slower in getting on and off the bus and who walked a little slower than everyone else. Trafalgar also did an excellent job in getting rooms with walk-in showers for me and my traveling companion since it is difficult for us to step over the edge of a bathtub. At no time did I feel that I missed out on anything because of my slower walking.

Saw a variety of things. We saw a variety of places not just one sided. *personal info removed by Feefo* was a good leader. He was well informed of history of the era and brought it to us in an interesting way.

My tour director and lovely hostess was . She was a true professional, and she presented the history of Ireland to our group throughout our tour in a remarkable format with fact, photography, and humor combined. She provided several unexpected fun surprises and treats along the way and tailored our tour and information to suit us as a group as well as individuals. Her attention to detail was amazing. It was a birthday trip for me and had apparently noted that on her own from my registration info and acknowledged it to me and our tour group with a Happy Birthday song. I appreciated her personal touch with those kinds of niceties. Our coach driver, was excellent. My first European tour with Insight Vacations was exceptional, and I recommend the company and its staff to others.
