One of the best trips that I've ever had! Worth every penny. I would recommend doing the Reverse Britain and Ireland Grandeur (23 Days) which goes to Scotland during the first week of the tour if you want to see the Military Tattoo at Edinburgh. Our tour went in August, so check what dates the Military Tattoo is available if it is important to you. I discovered that I loved haggis and Guinness! Loved the whole trip, and I would definitely like to visit the UK and Ireland again.Show more

Thank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that this was one of the best trips you have ever had and that you felt it was truly worth it. It is lovely to know that you enjoyed the Reverse Britain and Ireland Grandeur itinerary and that your time in Scotland was such a highlight. Your tip regarding the timing of the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh will be very helpful for future travellers planning a similar experience. We are also delighted that you embraced the local flavours and discovered a fondness for haggis and Guinness. Thank you for recommending the tour and for choosing Trafalgar. We would be delighted to welcome you back in the future for another unforgettable journey through the UK, Ireland or beyond.

I am on a tour right now. It is dreadful. Most of our stops are at horrible tacky tourist shops with the same junk at everyone of them. The guide drops us off with little to no info about the town if there is one. I have never been on a tour that the guide at least gives you a little orientation of the town with a few highlights. The last 3 night has virtually been the same dinner menu. I am only waiting till I get to a city that I can easily get to London and I will leave the tour. The tour started off really bad in London because you really don't have a tour guide until the 3rd day. The tour director says after we boarded the bus in London welcome to your 20 day tour.but the thing is I bought a 23 day tour. Tha's messed up.Show more

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. To begin, we sincerely regret to learn that your overall experience so far has been anything short of exceptional, given that the complete satisfaction of our guests is an absolute priority. All of our Travel Directors have been fully trained and carefully selected for the knowledge and passion that they have for their given regions. As such, we are surprised and concerned to read that you may not have found them to be informative on this occasion. Our guests' well-being and enjoyment are our top priorities, so please be assured that these comments have been shared with our Operations Manager for their review. On another note, we appreciate that you may have wanted your Travel Director to accompany you on your first day in London. However, we understand that a lot of our guests like to have the chance to explore such an exciting city independently. Therefore, we allow them this opportunity at the begging of their trip. That said, if there are any doubts about the structure of our itineraries, their full details can be found either on the Trafalgar website, in our brochure or in the information pack that is sent to each of our guests before the start of every trip. We do encourage our guests to familiarise themselves with these so as to avoid any potential disappointment once the trip is already underway. With the above in mind, we nevertheless regret to read that you have not enjoyed your trip so far. However, we do hope that the remainder of your time with us in Britain and Ireland will restore your initial impressions of our trips.

Many. Cumberland London hotel was poorly managed and below average. Very few photo stops and little very casual about photo sites only allowing only a second prep time. Not prepared for viral infection that decimated tour. Not enough time for personal shopping. Overall a big drop in quality compared with same tour 14 years ago.

My UK Grandeur trip was magnificent as I knew very little of the places we visited as I had not visited . Our Tour Leader made it extra special for me because of the quality of the background knowledge he gave us on each place we visited- this included historical knowledge including knowledge of people and events, his knowledge of literature and architecture pertaining to where we were visiting, and his humorous stories. He chose extra, very personable and knowledgeable people to show us around certain towns and cities for example: Belfast where we listened to men both Protestant and Catholic involved in the ongoing religious war, and Liverpool where we saw the Cathedral and the areas important to the early days of the Beatle's lives and fame, we dined at Cardiff and Eire while listening to stories and their characteristic humour accompanied by traditional music. And he offered a few 'extra special highlights' to show us which I relished-for example, the hidden grove with an altar for saying Mass when doing so was banned for Catholics, the meal with the owners of the Manor in York. Highlights I'll enjoy forever It was a superb trip, well managed, with great accommodation and stops If I had one request it would be add a few extra days on so the latter half could be slowed down and more time spent - perhaps seeing a Shakespeare performance on the Stratford on Avon riverside, visiting Oxford with time to visit (as I did in Dublin) and a drive past either Balmoral or Windsor as they seem so close by. May I add another - a visit to a local in both Penzance (with a pirate's cove) and in Cornwall to hear an old man who speaks like we heard in the radio programme "The Archers. I'd enrol for this trip purely to see what we did which was marvellous and to see these extras The monthly timing of this trip was weather perfect - yes it was coldish up north in Skye but that surely was to be expected.

I have just completed a Trafalgar trip through England, Ireland and Scotland called the Grandeur Tour. I must say what we saw and did was up to expectations HOWEVER, after doing a Europe tour with Cost Savers who is their cheaper version, I would say to fellow travellers don't waste the extra money , as the tour guide andespecially the hotels were a lot worse, I paid for comfortable beds and at the Novetal in York, had to sleep on a stretcher bed, I will not be travelling with Trafalgar againShow more
