- KDKaren· July 31st, 2025The tour itself was EXACTLY what was advertised. Our Tour Director and drivers were very very good. The 1 star is because after giving them my money in October 2024, about 6 weeks prior to leaving I am given paperwork that says I can take one checked bag and an 11x12x6inch hand bag. No hand luggage with wheels as it will not fit in the overhead and must go under the seat. I am going to five countries. England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Wales. Temperatures could have ranged with highs of 80s to mid 50s. Fortunately temps were moderate and even. So packing a variety of clothing, weather gear, meds and items ladies need seemed appropriate. I am a size 14. No room left for additional items. So I called " customer service" to get some help, ideas, suggestions and answers about the restrictions on luggage. Absolutely no help, called several times, told me to speak to my tour director, they will contact me as soon as 12 days before departure. Contacted a couple of days before leaving by text or email. Just an introduction. I took a Foldie. Others came to London early or were extending their tours after and paid the hotel additional to store their bags as they were trying to comply. Many of us bought luggage on the trip. All we had to do was handle it ourselves. Unnecessary anxiety and frustration caused by Trafalgar for not having a functional customer service department. All they did was answer the phone and direct me to my Tour Director. Who I did not have name or contact info and they were on another tour. They have their drivers loading and unloading the checked bag. The hotel porters must be contracted to only handle 1 piece of luggage per guest. Additionally they are saving fuel costs without the additional weight of luggage on the bus. Someone reached out to me, telling me that I could check with my Tour Director on the tour about my concerns, they will be able to help. I was already on the bus and had been for a few days. This customer service person texted me a few times. She was several days late as she did not bother to see I was already on the tour. Frustrating I was going for my 75th birthday to the counties of my ancestors. I booked in October for that time period. Otherwise I would have cancelled and gotten my money back, I bought the travel insurance. The problem being all other tour companies for those dates are booked. July 19-29 I have traveled. This was totally unnecessary anxiety and frustration. Horrible company. Never again!!!Show moreTrip date: July 2025

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.

Matt
Asked on March 25th, 2025We'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?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written 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.
