We had a wonderful trip to the UK and are so grateful to Tetiana for all of her hard work in planning such a memorable experience! We truly appreciated her support throughout the planning process, as well as her communication during our trip whenever questions arose. Tetiana was always responsive, helpful, and attentive. We were traveling with my mother and my son, and she took great care to accommodate everyone’s needs. All the hotels she chose were very well located so that was very helpful since we had no car.
One of our main goals for the trip was to reconnect with our family heritage in Wales, and our time there was incredibly meaningful. We loved exploring the beautiful landscapes and learning so much about Welsh history, culture, and language. John Pritchard of Celticos was an absolutely amazing guide, and we are so thankful for the wonderful day we spent with him.
We also immensely enjoyed our day touring the Scottish Highlands with Niall. He was another incredible guide and made our time there truly memorable. He made so many stops at points of interest and was so kind and helpful.

Hotel Reviews
The Bird, Bath
Bath

We loved this hotel. Everyone was very friendly and the decor was so cute! It was walkable to the town and had spectacular views. The fish and chips were hands down the best we had during the entire 2 weeks in the UK. The breakfast was also probably the best one we had. The only reason I'm not giving 4 stars is that we had to wait for our room for a couple of hours even though we arrived at the correct time for checking in.

Leonardo Hotel Cardiff

The best part about this hotel is its location. We were able to walk to many restaurants and nearby sights. Overall I'm glad we stayed here. Maybe there are other nicer hotels in Cardiff but I didn't see anything that looked better.

Authenticity & Character
It's a bit dated. The winding hallways were a little intimidating with the partiers that seem to flock to Cardiff. I didn't feel as safe as I do in other hotels.

The AC wasn't working in my mom's room and that made it pretty uncomfortable. They ran out of fans to hand out which was also a bummer. They said that they could offer a partial refund and I passed the manager's name on to our travel specialist but as far as I know we received no discount.

It was a pretty setting and I loved the outdoor restaurant but was really bummed about all the cigarette smoke. That's probably just a cultural difference with the restaurant laws but I couldn't seem to escape it so that really took away from our enjoyment of the hotel.
B&B HOTEL Inverness
Inverness

This hotel feels a little more like a hostel and we were a little worried when we first checked in. The first room they put my son and I in there wasn't even room to walk with the suitcases. They did move us to a slightly bigger room and we were comfortable enough. My mom had a room at the end of a hall that was much bigger. In short, the rooms are very basic. All that being said, I get why we stayed there. The location was walkable from the train station and it was situated near many good restaurants and places of interest. The staff was VERY helpful, kind, and accommodating. Overall it was a good experience once we learned more about Inverness being the main jumping off point to the Highlands with lots of tourists. I saw nicer places but they were far from all of the action. We had no car so this was a pretty good option.

Authenticity & Character
It's basic but I feel like the staff strives to make everyone happy and comfortable. It was the only place I saw in 2 weeks that had a little gym.

This is an excellent location walkable to all the restaurants, bookstores, shopping, and the river path.

Our driver was very nice but this was a little bit less of a personable tour than others. It was cool to see the Kelpies and we enjoyed the tour of Stirling castle by one of the guides there. I was expecting to actually see Loch Lomond but only saw a tiny beach and a small dock that we weren't allowed to enter, so I wouldn' t say by any stretch that this is a tour of Loch Lomond. It was just a quick stopover for a snack, I guess.

Absolutely amazing day with Niall! This was definitely the highlight of our trip to the Highlands mainly because of Niall's knowledge, enthusiasm, and kindness! He made it a very special and memorable day for us all. He made lots of extra arrangements so that my elderly mother could enjoy this experience, as well. The gardens of Balmoral were so breathtaking. We have to chuckle a little bit that with a basic entrance ticket you really don't get to see much of the castle, just a display room. The special part of the visit is to see the awesome gardens. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the cute town of Ballater and made some stops at special places of interest on the way back. Niall is a true Highlands Man and he has so much to share about his family and the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with him and learning from him!

This was our last day so we were a little tired. I think that if you are very interested in Scottish history and the battles, that Culloden would be a very important tour. I liked the mysterious Clava Cairns the best, though it was a very short part of our tour. I was happy to see Loch Ness, but we only experienced it as a drive by on the road and we only saw the Urquart castle from the distance. I felt a little misled as the title of the tour implied that the castle was very important but a decision was made to go to Cawdor Castle instead. It ended up being very interesting and had spectacular gardens that we enjoyed very much.

The Glengower
Aberystwyth

The great location of this hotel makes up for the minor complaints. With a little more attention to the room's furnishings, we would have given the hotel a 5-star rating.

Authenticity & Character
The location, restaurant, bar and friendliness of the staff was wonderful. The room was small which is understandable - however there was a clothes rack for hanging clothes and a full-size ironing board that seemed unncessary and definitely detracted from the room. (I couldn't find the iron). The bed was small (also understandable) but uncomfortable.
Location
The location of this hotel is its biggest advantage. It is adjacent the promonade - so walking and viewing the ocean was great. Parking was a little challenging - we parked 2 short blocks away in the lot for a medical facility. That was definitely better than on the street.
Staff
The staff was very friendly and helped us navigate the parking.

In addition to experiencing the stunning natural beauty of Wales, we loved interacting with locals, which he facilitated because he seems to know everyone. We love learning about history and culture as we travel. John is obviously very proud of his Welsh heritage, and he taught us so much about the history and culture as we traveled together.

Riki was our guide. He was AMAZING! He took us to a lot of places, was an excellent driver. He gave us so much information about Wales, the history, the people, the buildings, the castles, the food, etc. We had considered driving a car ourselves, but were thankful he was our driver who was so good with the narrow roads and traffic. It didn't take long to recognize how difficult that would have been.
The person booking our travels did an excellent job of booking our overnight rooms and meals and the sites we went to.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Maureen! We’re thrilled to hear that Riki made such a strong impression: he truly is a gem, and it’s great to know his knowledge, driving skills, and warmth added so much to your time in Wales.

We’re also glad the accommodations, meals, and itinerary all hit the mark. Sounds like the decision not to self-drive paid off!
