  • L

    Leslie

    Asked on September 14th, 2024

    I didn't find all off the extra excursions available. When we are on our own in Dublin will we be able to visit the Leprechaun museum, Kilmainham Gaol Museum? When it says we will see something (ie Christ Church Cathedral) do we actually stop and have time to look around, or is it from the coach? What's the difference, between view, see, and visit? Will we have a chance to see the sheep dogs work, the highland cows, Blarney Castle? Is there an option to cruise Loch Ness and view the Urquhart Castle? Is the Glasgow Necrapolis something we can view on our own? We like the cities and countries on this tour, just not clear what Places we can see on our own or as a choice experience. We are definitely doing a tour in 2025.

    Donald

    Asked on July 15th, 2024

    I want to book two tours: Britain and Ireland Delight for 8 or 10 days and London to Rome for 10 days. I can't find tour dates that go back to back so is this possible?

    Tour Details
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten July 2024

      Yes, it's possible to book a multi-trip. What will happen is that we will create one booking with two tours on the operator's end. We suggest doing the Britain and Ireland Delight tour first departing 27-Sep-2024 that will end in 06-Oct-2024. After that book the London to Rome Highlights departing 11-Oct-2024. The only thing was you will have 5 days idle in between tours.

    • D

      Donald

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      I would not like to spend 5 idle days in London. It's actually the last place I'd like to spend 5 days in, and I'd like no idle days if possible - are there other travel days or trips you suggest that won't create that much downtime?

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten July 2024

      We have found some tour options that visit majority of your desired places: Grand European (22 Days) and Britain and Ireland Grandeur Reverse (20 Days).

    • D

      Donald

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      That is not going to be helpful. We'd be gone 42 days! There has GOT to be two tours, one of Scotland/Ireland, and one of France/Italy that have closer tour dates than that!

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten July 2024

      We have found two potential trip combinations: Option 1 (17 days) with Britain and Ireland Delight and Jewels of Italy, and Option 2 (25 days) with European Adventures and Britain and Ireland Delight.
