Luxury UK And Great Britain Tours & Trips Reviews
- Best of Ireland
The tour provides an excellent introduction to most of the country with a great variety of towns and landscapes, Churches, castles and other locations of interest were diverse. Tour director and coach driver were very good. Historical overview was often seen through a "progressive" lens that failed to offer different perspectives. Overall a very good tour.
- Country Roads of Ireland (Classic, End Belfast)
Greg and Paddy did a wonderful job of giving us the full experience. We saw some breathtaking views and quaint views. It was a trip of a life time. We spent an extra day in Dublin following the tour and any native Irelanders (? Not sure if that’s correct and apologies if not) we spoke with were very impressed at what we covered in the time we were there. We were well taken care of. We had lots of information about the area we were in in order to get food and drinks. Greg made it fun with songs and music along the way. I would highly recommend jumping on board with him as a tour director. Thanks so very much.
- Irish Elegance (Classic)
Excellent guide and driver. Saw a lot of things I would not have on my own. Nice bus and great people to hang out with.
