    · August 20th, 2024
    Fast paced fantastic way to cover a large area of the UK and Ireland. Amazing local experts and wonderful traditional dishes eaten in some spectacular locations. Our tour director was amazing and knew the ins and outs of each location, and could easily direct us to the sights we were most eager to see based on our individual preferences. Our coach driver was fantastic and knew the roads like the back of his hand.

    Great tour, excellent Tour director and driver. Trafalgar did an excellent job managing the tour. Some of the rooms were not comfortable though (noisy, too small bathrooms). We had one good day for laundry but the second time was very expensive.

    My wife got sick in Norway the doctor told her it was not contagious. After arriving in London I got sick with same symptoms (constant coiffing). Booked a flight to return home. It s odd that you do not know that we were not on the tour.

    Would be excellent but up-front communication was poor, coaches are cramped and some of the optional experiences were not fun or interesting. But, tour director and driver were fun and knowledgeable, hotels were good, most experiences were great and we saw so much! I would recommend it to family and friends.
