    Itinerary was strenuous - sometimes we didn't get to hotel until 10:00. Also not enough time at most stops

    Reply from: Trafalgar
    At times, ensuring that we take our guests to the amazing attractions outlined in our itineraries can mean lengthier periods on the road, as well as some early starts. However, we recognise that holidays are also meant for relaxing, and as such, we have shared your comments with our Product Development Department to establish what potential improvements we might make to this particular schedule. Nevertheless, we thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us here at Trafalgar, and we hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights from your time away with us in Britain and Ireland.
