    I appreciated Bill, our tour guide, allowed us to your the Waterford factory. It was a bucket list item and because of Bill rearranging our schedule, just a tad, made our trip. Thank you so much. We are currently planning our next adventure and will definitely use Tour Radar in the future.

    The guide and bus driver: Tom and Yiordan were amazing people. The schedule was my problem. I don’t mind the early hours to leave a location. It was the arriving late to a destination that bothered me. We stopped along the way in places that could have been shortened or not stopped at all! For example, the museum, parks, etc. That way we could have seen more of Belfast, Glasgow, and other big cities. etc. It’s seemed that we always arrived late and nothing to do! Also many of the otels were too far center and OLD without working lifts, etc.

    Fantastic tour ,not for the fainthearted , we did 3163 miles and 11 different hotels in 2 weeks from Las Vegas and back. If you want luxury, fine dining ,drinking,late nights and a chill out ,then this is not the trip for you . If you want comfort, fun, adventure and a chance to experience "real America" book it . It's amazing ,we saw so much ( see big review on trust pilot) ,The Grand Canyon ,Monument Valley, the Rockies ,the Black Hills ,Yellowstone, the Tetons,Bryce Canyon and Zion . And everything in between. The hotels were great (apart from Vegas) the guide Jason (Cap) and driver Nathan were outstanding, the coach very comfortable and blessedly cool ( it was over 100° most days) Some bits were better than others ,my favourites were Forrest Gump point, Custer in the Black Hills, seeing a rodeo in Cody ( Buffalo Bill's town) a herd of buffalo running past the coach , a stop on the Oregon trail with authentic costumes, all the truck stops but especially Buc'ees near Denver , Baileys bar in Grand Junction, meeting real cowboys in Glenwood Springs, Ebenezer's cowboy dinner show in Bryce Canyon. Singing Doris Day 'take me back to the Black Hills 'as we drove through them . The Tabernacle church in Salt Lake City, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse. The list goes on and I'm sure I've forgotten loads . If you are thinking of doing this trip I'd recommend it without hesitation.

    With an excellent Guide Elly Carr we were very pleased with our tour. Elly had a massive amount of knowledge she shared very freely and our bus driver Steve Jones was also excellent and made us feel safe and secure.

    The itinerary was okay, but the selection of hotels was bad. Most hotels were 30 minutes from the city center. At some locations we arrived after 5:00 pm (Glasgow) and departed before 8:00 am. Why would they even bother stopping there? The itinerary also offered several visits that were not included, so they were a lot of hidden charges that were not mentioned.

    We had an awesome time and enjoyed our guide, Peter, and driver , Jorge. Peter was so knowledgeable about history and stories of the regions. He sang some beautiful folk songs too. Although my husband willingly carried our luggage, I felt we should have had more assistance with transfers. I lost my wallet in Dublin and Peter was attentive in helping as much as he could. We were short on cash and limited due to this so when we were given a sheet with suggested gratuity of over $100 per person, it was hard to comply. We however worked it out but I felt it was not necessary to be so exact to the customer. It was a memory we will cherish and people who will stay in touch after the tour ended.

    Fiona was our wonderful tour guide and her knowledge and stories along the way were very interesting. Juergen, our driver was great and very personable. We toured lovely Ireland and gorgeous Scotland, and saw just enough to satisfy our curiosity about both countries. The accommodations were good and I would highly recommend this tour.

    This tour packed in a lot. Our guide and driver were very professional and personable. The coach was comfortable and most of the hotels were fine. I feel like we hit all the highlights in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
