    I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was Steen Harris. He is extremely knowledgeable. He was a great guide. Our driver, Gary, was wonderful. He got us safely to every place we needed to go.

    I thought this fast pace tour was everything I expected and more. Our cruise manager, Steen, couldn’t have been better. We all loved him and his tremendous knowledge of history and insight into cultures (including his own). I would do it all again.

    Since most people tap to pay it was difficult to tip guides in Ireland. Felt they deserved A gratuity. Hopefully they got paid enough to make it worth their wild. I felt like this was just an expensive buying trip. For instance, going to bath and Windsor in the same day and just being let off to go purchase things. people came from great distances.

    Tight schedule for 8 days no room for travelers accidental lost, reliance on What’s App but didn’t work for me, international roaming?! Friends travelling help in daily Activities. Not all English speaking people was an issue. Too much motoring between destinations so much more on the A roads. Otherwise for a first time traveller a quick overview.
