Taste of Ireland (Tour C) - 5 Days/4 Nights-Magnifique
My first trip to Ireland and everything was great. The weather, the hotel accommodations, the food, the kindness from the people, the beauty of the old buildings, the history of the land. Oh, I’m sorry, did you say in just a few words? I can’t help myself - there’s just so many terrific memories!!
Madhavi D.
Taste of Ireland (Tour C) - 5 Days/4 Nights
Unfortunately, due to the UA delay we ended up missing our group airport transfer and Dublin Tour. So we didn't get a chance to experience Dublin as we would have liked.
