What people love about England, Scotland and Wales Tours for Seniors
- Britain and Ireland Highlights (10 Days)
During this fast-paced tour, Greg always had a positive attitude, which reflects how much he loves what he does! He was very knowledgeable about each country we visited and I especially liked the introduction to the history of each country before we arrived there. I loved that not only did we visit cities, but also the countryside and the small villages along the way. I can appreciate the planning and the hard work it takes to arrange a tour like this, and Greg did a fantastic job keeping us on track and organized. Our driver Wayne was also a huge asset to this trip. His knowledge of the roads and his excellent driving ability allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. A great big thanks to both Greg and Wayne for making this a trip of a lifetime!
- Essential Britain & Ireland
Overall a good but only at the Mercure Hotel’s dinner, the hotel’s waiter was refused to give some more bread to one of the guy in a group that he was still hungry and the location of the hotel was situated on the countryside!!!
