Luxury UK And Great Britain Tours & Trips Reviews
- North Coast & Islands
Friendly, humorous and informative guide. Pretty basic accommodation but they are pretty remote places. Spectacular scenery, interesting places and history.
- Scottish & Irish Gold - 16 Days/15 Nights (including Dornie)
We were very impressed with all aspects of this tour. The standard of the hotels was first class. The fact that we were not paying for extras including most of the dinners was a big plus. The Scottish tour guide was the best we have ever had and we have done a lot of tours.
Very knowledgable, helpful guide who kept us entertained with music, treats and Irish jokes. He had a knack of keeping us punctual, even the very laid back Aussies. Highly recommend him as a guide for any Trafalgar tours.
