    Fast paced fantastic way to cover a large area of the UK and Ireland. Amazing local experts and wonderful traditional dishes eaten in some spectacular locations. Our tour director was amazing and knew the ins and outs of each location, and could easily direct us to the sights we were most eager to see based on our individual preferences. Our coach driver was fantastic and knew the roads like the back of his hand.

    My wife got sick in Norway the doctor told her it was not contagious. After arriving in London I got sick with same symptoms (constant coiffing). Booked a flight to return home. It s odd that you do not know that we were not on the tour.
