What people love about touring England, Ireland And Scotland solo
- Best of UK & Ireland
This was an amazing trip. Niall was so knowledgeable and helpful. James was also very good at his job. We covered alot of ground in 13 days. Niall and James were able to think on their feet and make any needed adjustments when we inevitably hit an occasional "road bump". The only negative was a few people who claimed to have special needs. My feeling is that if you are going on a tour, you should be prepared to adhere to ALL the same stipulations as everyone else and not receive special treatment. That applies to motion sickness. You should make the necessary preparations to prevent this or not book a bus tour.
Gregg went over the norm for making sure all went great. He has a talent for organizing and making us all feel wonderful . He is so good at making sure all goes well and is a master of organization and just a great person. He made us feel like family. I think he will go very high in your organization. He is a true gem
