    Tim was a sensational guide! He went out of his way to make sure we all had the best of every city, and gave great advice on what to see and where to eat! His enthusiasm rubs off on everyone on tour! Can’t speak highly enough of the bloke as a guide and as a person.

    Tim was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable on all parts of the UK and Ireland. He was very professional but very easy to ask questions or socialise with. Would highly recommend going on any tour with him. He would make any trip thoroughly enjoyable.

    Did this tour in 2019 and loved it b. I was able to see everything I wanted and even more that I never knew about The guide was amazing. She had handouts that detailed what we would see every day and would give a background on everything I was super impressed and intend to do other tours with this company

    Jackie was nothing short of fantastic. She was very informative, knowledgeable and helpful. Her knowledge of great Britain and Ireland was incredible. It was always a treat doing the walking tours because she told us alot about the city we were in and it's interesting background. Jackie is very approachable and would always have location tips and advice. Always suggesting alot of things to see locally in our free time. Jackie would always be more than happy to help us, even if it was just simple things like suggesting where to eat for lunch or random things like telling us where we'd be able to find haggis burgers. I would be more than happy to go on another tour with Jackie because her service was incredible.

    Jackie was an outstanding trip leader. Her knowledge of Britain & Ireland I could not fault. I was stoked and lucky enough to find out she would be my trip leader for both tours I went on. I knew I would be in great hands!

    The tour was great. I would only have picked to have my own accommodations. I think people past 30 need their own rooms to stay above the 18-24 yo drama
