What people love about 2-week UK and Great Britain tours
- Best of UK & Ireland
Tour was well organized Kaileigh was great. The only downfalls were the hotel in Edinburgh it was dated I can forgive that but I cannot forgive dirty it was Filthy the whole tour group complained about it. The other let down was the last night would loved to have stayed in York and spent more time there. But all in all a good trip.
- Best of Britain (14 Days)
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. This tour was so great a few years ago that I'm doing it again this year back to back with European Traveller. Accommodation was top notch, pace allowed for maximum viewing, bus driver and guide were friendly and informative. Loved it and will always return to Trafalgar.
- Best of Ireland & Scotland (Classic) (23 destinations)
Sean’s enthusiasm and positivity was infectious. He set the tone for the whole trip and everybody on the tour followed his lead, great time, great sights although I would have liked more chances to have meal choices that reflected the country such as Irish Stew or lamb. Would love to do another trip with him as the tour director. Having said that felt that the high tea was disappointing as was the Celtic roots show. On the plus side the Irish stables were fascinating as was the Scottish night in Edinburgh. The scenery was magnificent and the pace of the trip was perfect.
