    We had a wonderful trip! Our Tour Director was awesome! Joe taught us so much about the history and current events of Ireland! He was a joy to have taking care of us every day! All of our Guides were informative and thoughtful. We saw and explored so many places and sights, that it's hard to remember everything. Accommodations were exceptional from the beds to the views! The service at each location was wonderful! If I had to make any complaints, it would be the dinners included. While they were very good, they were so similar each night. The coach was comfortable and always kept very clean. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation and please let our Tour Director Joe know how much we appreciated his thoughtful, informative narrative!
