Trafalgar commented on this reviewWe appreciate your feedback and apologise that your pre-trip experience did not meet your expectations, and we are pleased to read that you had a wonderful trip during your time in Ireland. We are delighted to learn that your Travel Director and Coach... Show moreTrip date: May 2023- Diane· September 25th, 2021This was a great way to experience Ireland. Beautiful scenery, sights, fun times. Everything was put together for a trip of a lifetime. Shane Creegan, our tour director, did an excellent job guiding us and taking care of us. Michael McKeown (Mickey) was our bus driver. He is a careful and focused driver. They made an excellent team, enhancing our "Irish Experience" from Trafalgar.Show more
Trip date: September 2021 - SRSteven Andrew· October 17th, 2019All hotels locations must be in the downtown city center allowing guests the ability to enjoy atmosphere/local sites easily without taking additional transportation, or walking 30 minutes to/from ( Belfast/Killarney allowed so) however the Radsison Park Inn was worst quality hotel on itinerary. Need to allow for more free time and planned events for Dublin...as this is the hub of the country and easily offers most experiences like Trinity College / Book of Kells, Guinness brewery/store, Temple Bar....none of which we got to visit! I would suggest that if N.Ireland will be an integral part of the respective tour ( which is why I picked the Irish Experience ) Trafalgar should focus less on the narrative of religious/political strife and focus more on destination attractions like Titanic ( not sure what else there is there other than looking at murals of fighting heroes )....people want to share positive experiences about visit not about festering tensions...move on! Shane ( tour director ) and Keiron ( driver ) are an excellent combination together......youth and experience, yet both passionate, professional, and committed to providing an enjoyable guest experience..they are both assets to Trafalgar. The Irish Experience tour allows guests to get a very comprehensive exposure to Ireland, as most of your tours of Ireland only focus on the south.....glad we experienced Belfast, Giant's Causeway. Overall, I would rate an 7.5 / 10.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThanks for sharing your feedback with us.
