    Our Tour Manager, Chris B. is a true professional and made our tour both stress free and filled with the sites and stories we came to experience. TourRadar/RIT provided Chis’s cell number weeks before our tour and he was easy to contact and coordinate our unique meeting requirements to join the tour. This was our first visit to the UK and I felt Royal Irish Tours did a good job picking cities and activities for us to experience England and Wales. Our tour was 10 Canadians and 6 Americans and our tour bus was built for 40, so plenty of room to stretch out. The bus had an onboard restroom which I felt was important and our driver, Mark, was excellent. Chris and RIT understand that older folks need regular bathroom breaks, and for me that takes some of the stress out of traveling. We found the UK very progressive when it came to food allergies
