    Greg is INCREDIBLE. I haven’t travelled much so had no idea what to expect, but Greg made it so easy for me to plan what I could with the knowledge that everything else was sorted. The sad thing about this particular trip is that it involves a lot of time sitting on a coach, but there’s only so much these guys can do about the to be able to fit in all the adventures in the time we have. Even so, I would do this trip with Greg again in a heartbeat. I had the best time and I’m so thankful for everything he did!

    Greg was an amazing tour director! He made a very busy trip awesome. He kept our group on time and positive. Greg is very organized and upbeat. He is also very knowledgeable about all the sites that we saw. His music is always inspiring and fun. When I go on another tour, I will make sure that Greg is our TD again!

    Greg is passionate and professional. There's great energy and positive vibes throughout the tour. He is always appreciative about his co-partners such as coach captain, local specialist.

    Matt

    Asked on March 25th, 2025

    We're very interested in the Britain and Ireland Highlights (10 Days) tour starting May 23, 2025. However we won't be able to arrive at Heathrow until the morning of May 23. Since the tour officially starts around 6am on the second day (May 24), this should not be a problem. Is that correct?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes, the first day, May 23, will be your free time in London; therefore, arriving in the morning on that day won't cause any issues.
