We enjoyed our travels in England, Scotland, &
Ireland. We appreciated that the hotels were very nice and comfortable. The breakfasts were all delicious & amazing. We appreciated the guides and drivers - they were very knowledgeable and worked with us regarding our interests, the weather, and timing of travels. When we stayed in smaller towns, they were located in convenient locations to other sites we were interested. We were able to go on some nice walks, see brilliant landscapes, and have adventures in the cities. The pace of the trip was good for us, just the right amount of things to do and time to relax.
Hotel Reviews
Enjoyed the comfort of the hotel and central location where we Could walk into town. The breakfasts and drinks were amazing, the dinner was ok, not great. Perhaps it was what we ordered…. Nice bar and amazing drinks!
Monks Ballyvaughan was really nice, with a lovely staff and a great location. It made our stay in County Clare very pleasant.
Activity Reviews
The Group Food and Drink Tour of Edinburgh was good and certainly worthwhile. We enjoyed the experience, and it was a nice way to explore the culinary scene of the city.
The Royal Lochnagar Distillery tour was an enjoyable experience, even for someone who isn't a whiskey drinker. It was a well-organized tour and we appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the distillery.
The Real Mary Kings Close was interesting from a historical viewpoint, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While visiting Edinburgh for the third time, I decided to try out more touristy activities, but this one felt a bit lackluster. I wouldn't recommend it to others and felt it could be skipped.
