    The tour was good I wished we had more time to see Manchester and Londonderry. The itinerary was good but didn’t like the ghost tour extra a lot of people didn’t enjoy the person giving it. The guy giving the ghost tour was not the regular person contiki uses though.

    The trip crams all the best sights and scenes of Great Britain and Ireland into 18 days with highlights being exploring the streets of Edinburgh and partying the night away in Dublin and Belfast. Jacob gave the trip a special flair with his witty humour, comprehensive knowledge of the history of the areas we travelled to as well as his overall enthusiasm for travel. He made a special effort to connect with each of the travellers individually to ensure their experience was positive. Having an enthusiastic, smiling ball of energy at the front of the coach each morning made the experience that much more enjoyable.
