    This was a great tour! Our guide, Marlene, was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and had an incredible grasp on the history of Ireland. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone had a fantastic trip. We also had nice group dynamics. I was surprised at how many places we were able to visit.

    The itinerary is comprehensive and there are special activities that are unique to the country which some other tour agencies may not include in their itineraries. The tour guides of both Scotland and Ireland were great and knowledgeable. Most of the hotels chosen were of high standards and of good value except for Muthu Newton Hotel which was quite run down internally and staff were unprofessional. Other than that, things were generally good and we had a good time!
