    It was a great trip. We got a good overview of the country side, culture and history of England, Scotland and Whales. Zach was excellent in keeping us informed and comfortable. Each of the bus drivers were courteous and drove with care.

    The tour guide was excellent. Some accommodations could be better. At Hilton in London I realized too late that the shower switch wasn't even there exposing outside threads, but I had to get to the airport on time, so I had to tell about it at the reception when I was already leaving. I learned a lesson. I should xhexk if everything fine with the room before unpacking

    The tour guide and bus driver were excellent. They worked hard to ensure we were comfortable and safe for the duration of the trip. If you are planning a tour like this please keep in mind the schedule is tight (and you are very dependent on your fellow travelers). The itinerary requires a significant amount of bus travel, strict adherence to scheduled departure times, and the optional experiences take up a majority of "free time" you might use for deeply exploring these incredible locations. The hotels are 2 and 3 star accommodations (vs. 4 and 5 star) and it was difficult (but not impossible) to resolve issues with the hotel rooms (a few of our rooms had some serious issues with mildew, we eventually resolved). The great benefit of this kind of tour is gaining a better understanding of the culture and the country so that the next time we travel to the UK we will know where we want to go for a deeper experience (the Highlands were incredible). Plan on spending a significant amount of time on the bus and enjoy the trip for what it is (a very intense, and broad brush experience) and you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a deep dive into specific locations or events this may not be the tour for you. READ the FINE PRINT very CLOSELY. If something happens do not expect to get a refund, unless you have meticulously adhered to the fine print in the agreements. Trip insurance can help, but there are multiple, different types of insurance and you may think you are covered, but end up holding the bag if something happens. Optional services (like airport transfers) are available, but you may want to explore transportation options available on the local market. We were able to save a significant amount of money arranging our own airport transfers. Learn what you can about the local transit system as that is going to be the most efficient way to move around the major cities. If you are traveling internationally, be prepared, arriving before check in means you may be sitting in the hotel lobby for hours (most hotels will hold your luggage if you are up for some early exploration), if your departure times are early, you may want to consider hotels closest to your departure airport on the final night. If you have the time and desire to see more, you may want to consider extending your trip for a few days in the beginning or end, so you have plenty of free time to see the things you might miss on the tour (We had a great afternoon at the Tower of London because our hotel room wasn't available). I will likely book this kind of tour in the future if we are traveling to a place we have never visited before. Also, be prepared for the potential exposure to your fellow travelers. Even if there is no "mask" policy, it might be smart to wear a mask (and have lots of hand sanitizer around) for the first few days because a single traveler with a cold (or worse) can make the last days of your trip miserable. Don't be shy with your fellow travelers (enjoy the company and share your comfort levels) and let the Tour Director know if you are experiencing discomfort. Some things might be "fixable" if you speak up early.
