What people love about England, Scotland and Wales Tours for Seniors
- Grand Tour of Britain & Ireland
Time to go around places of interest was limited. Most of the time we reach our destinations just in time for the excursion and no spare time to go around. Overall I enjoyed the tour with the complimentary bit of history narration from the Tour Director.
Gregg went over the norm for making sure all went great. He has a talent for organizing and making us all feel wonderful . He is so good at making sure all goes well and is a master of organization and just a great person. He made us feel like family. I think he will go very high in your organization. He is a true gem
Britain and Ireland Highlights (London Overnights)
- Essential Britain & Ireland
Covered alot of ground and very busy of course with never enough time, but that was expected. Great driver, found tour director somewhat unenthusiastic - would have liked more concise info on how each day was going to progress and a little more interaction with the group. Hotel Metropole was so hot and too noisy to have window open - most of the hotel rooms were so hot all night. Holiday Inn York room was rather well tread and dirty. Other than that a great trip with excellent meals except the dinner at Holiday Inn York.
