This allows time to explore on your own or take a break at your hotel. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our Brendan Vacations tour gave us plenty of free afternoons to explore Dublin's Temple Bar area at our own pace or simply relax at the Riu Plaza The Gresham Hotel."

You'll stay in 4-star hotels located near city centers and main attractions. Popular choices include The Croke Park Hotel in Dublin and the Macdonald Houstoun House in Edinburgh.

What medical facilities/assistance is available during the tour?
Your tour directors know first aid and keep updated lists of local medical facilities. The major cities offer excellent healthcare options with modern hospitals and clinics. Hotels such as Clayton Hotel Dublin and Hilton York are near medical facilities. A TourRadar traveler shared: "When I needed a doctor in Edinburgh our guide quickly arranged a visit to a nearby clinic."
