Always a smiling face and positive attitude. He made us all feel that he really cared about our having an enjoyable stress free trip.

- JBJohn· October 24th, 2023Our guide Michelle was excellent. The city sightseeing tours on the bus were a waste of time. Our local tour guide in Edinburgh was awful. Why the laughing through most of her talking? Very irritating. The Fish & Chips dinner in the local dumpy restaurant was the worst meal of the trip. Otherwise just what we expected.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for your review during your Best of Ireland and Scotland trip.

- RRRoberta· September 27th, 2023We really enjoyed our trip The Best of Ireland and Scotland (15 Days) with Trafalgar. The Travel Director was excellent, lots of knowledge of local history as well as overall in Ireland & Scotland. The Drivers were great, the Local Specialist were excellent as well. We know this going into the trip but the amount of time on the Coach was a lot. We will consider that in future trips. Overall we had an excellent experience!Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your review.

- BABlossom· April 26th, 2023What can I say about a last minute trip of a lifetime! We had the best guide, James Smith, and best driver, Paul. They were organised and professional, calm and skilful at dealing with a bunch of strange personalities; witty and insightful, sharing their life experiences with us; advising and guiding us with the history and the memories of home. Even missing my pickup point, I did not panic or worry. I’m sure James was shocked at receiving a call from Australia. Lucky for me, he picked up! Good to have a backup plan. Ireland and Scotland were everything I wished for. I loved all of it- the driving, excursions, free time, sightseeing, foods, local people, ancient and modern history, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Donegal, Londonderry, Ring of Kerry, Giants Causeway, wall of Remembrance, Good Friday Peace agreement. I learnt about habits, customs, whiskey and shortbread, music, culture, accents and people, Celtic and Viking influences, symbolism and the importance of change and structure affecting our lives. Love the quirkiness too - The idea of Guinness offering a pint of beer for your blood donation is hilarious, doing your exams in Gaelga gives you a 20% advantage; museums and most event places have no entry fees. NB - (1) ensure all travellers have contact details, only for emergency use (updated as to country and location). (2) We would have loved to have a photo with our guide and driver. They were an important part of our experience! A Most enjoyable and memorable Trafalgar trip. I loved the little aside-jaunts and I loved the way James and Paul worked at keeping the journey interesting, well paced, stress less and fun. Highly commended!Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for your kind review and sharing your photos with us.
