What people love about England and Scotland Tours for Seniors
- Best of Scotland (Summer)
Highly recommend. First time to Scotland, and saw a good portion of this beautiful country. Wish we had more time on Isle of Skye... but realize that 7 days just not long enough to do/see all we wanted. Great guide and coach driver, and terrific weather the week there helped make this a fantastic family trip.
- Amazing Britain (10 Days)
The trip was amazing, it was the first time we had been overseas and it would have been lovely to spend more time, the tour director was great, very helpful, we had a great time.
- Country Roads of Scotland (Classic)
Overall great. First time doing this as a vacation. Guide was very knowledgeable, unfailingly cheerful and always available to assist with anything and answer all questions. Driver was great as well. Polite and friendly and clearly experienced. Felt very safe with him at the wheel especially on some of the narrow winding roads. Most hotels were great. Some not quite. I understand there is limited choice in all locations, but I still think the hotels could spend a little to upgrade flat pillows, replace well used mattresses and toilets that flush. I would have liked to have stopped at a few places not on the itinerary (that we passed), as they looked interesting, but I understand there are time limits so the only answer would be to extend the tour We also had excellent weather throughout, bit Inight can't take credit for that, lol
