    Scotland was awesome, my tour director was very knowledgeable and very helpful. The bus driver was excellent. The itinerary was also excellent along with the hotels except the sandman hotel in glasgow. Ireland was great for the most part. Tour director/bus driver was awesome, also knowledgeable and entertaining. You can cut out galway waste of time also skellig experience.

    We rate the Scotland portion of the journey as EXCELLENT! The Irish portion of the journey was not as good. We should have ended the tour in Limerick and flown out of Shannon. The entire last day was a waste of time.

    Both our tour guide and driver in Scotland were excellent. The Irish guide/driver was very good too, but one cannot do the job of two.

    The hotels were all excellent except for the last Clayton hotel in Dublin. It was rather small. The itinerary met all of our needs for the time frame we were in both countries.

    Both guides were beyond excellent!! Graham in Scotland and Patrick in Ireland; each had their own style but we could not ask for better tour guides. They made the trip more memorable and the historical facts were fascinating.
