- JJess· September 1st, 2024Tour was good. Enjoyed the sheepdog experience immensely. But the trip manager slept with people on the tour which ruined the mood.Contiki commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback. We hope you enjoyed other aspects of the tour besides the sheepdog experience and captured the beauty of Britain and Ireland. While we are glad you enjoyed the tour, we are concerned about your comments regarding the Trip... Show moreTrip date: March 2024
