    Great tour, exceptional tour guide and driver! Tour guide provided in-depth and comprehensive information about Ireland and its history, injecting, amusing, anecdotes, and humor in her dialogue. The supplemental experiences were exceptional as well, they provided a personal and close-up look at Ireland’s citizens and habits. During this vacation, I used another very well known travel tour company who did not provide the connection to the country that my tour guide in Ireland had accomplished. Accommodations were excellent and I would not hesitate to use Trafalgar as a tour company again.
