The only issue is that it seemed we were on inter-flights more than on a tour.

It became worse as we went on , being filled with our travel guides interpretation of history , but being Northern Irish n having attended 4 Universities ( not sure of degrees obtained if any) there was little he could be told , or discuss , even though his captives the mature aged people on the bus had more life skills in their little finger than his interpretation of history and life , lucky he has room to grow in maturity and age wise , the Bus driver Meirion was highly skilled n kept us safe even to the point of rectifying miss information on meeting places for us to return to the bus a true gentleman ,
The tour generally covered a vast arena of history and events , so it could be said to be a Glimpse of the UK , history and events , so as a review in stars ( remember the parameters are like your hotel star rating !
Coach n Captain 5 stars ( except the toilet thing)
Tour guide . 4 stars ( he did his best for his age )
Accomodation . 2 to 3 stars ( some by the tour guides own admission were pretty rough n not conducive to the elderly people on the trip)
Food . 1 2 stars , Generally ok ,breakfasts n some dinners
Tipping for service re Tour guide and Coach Captain was a main concern and worry to the HAIR OF GREY FEET OF CLAY brigade , the request was over the top and being reminded of gratuity rewards was only more confronting , do you not pay these people the appropriate reward for effort ?
The extra activities on the tour were what’s known as “ kick back activity” except for the ones incorporated in the initial cost .
Otherwise the tour was as is its wearing just from the travelling point of view but Im not sure of any other way , to see what we saw
Star rating for the trip 3 out of a possible5

Now as we try to rebook for 2021/2022 the same exact tour is twice the price, what did cost $1,800 per person is now $3,600 per person. Talk about scam!!! Now basically our credit is worth nothing!!!
I think it needs improvement with hotel accommodation.
This was a very good trip. Would of loved to have more time on Nantucket. At least one and a half days to two days would be great. More time in RI too. All in all a really nice time.

All in all a really nice time. I’ll come back and do an other tour next year or sooner. Great bus and driver ( Joann) and good guide (Steve) ! Thanks 😊

Not what I expected. To much rush and walking was unbearable
The only thing that will keep me from considering or recomending Tour Radar with Hlobus is the lack or inability to talk to a real person I had to text TourRadar to ask globus for information only to …The only thing that will keep me from considering or recomending Tour Radar with Hlobus is the lack or inability to talk to a real person I had to text TourRadar to ask globus for information only to be told many time one or the other is not answering. In the end it all worked out and the staff at the site was good but the early communication may cause me to shop around

Everything was so well organized and Sabina our tour guide was outstanding. Gerardo our bus driver did an excellent job and I felt totally safe with him driving. Daily included tours were excellent and optional tours worth the cost.

They were both efficient and funny. Most hotel were good and the review would have been a 5 stars if it wasn’t for the highway station stops for lunch. Most gas station have awful food.
We highly recommend and with a different itinerary, we will do this again.

It was gastrointestinal infection from something I ate. Loved the guide and hotels were nice and clean. Am trying to claim on my insurance policy for dr bill but missed so much of your. All I can say is the scenery was beautiful but did not have a good time. My first and last international trip I feel you misled the amount of walking involved and that it was for all ages. My husband and another woman in our group also got sick so something was going on.

I highly recommend doing this tour in the winter months when the humpbacks are there breeding.
