Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights
We saw all the places we have always wanted to see! Very well run tour.
We encountered such nice people in both countries, the pubs were so enjoyable! The only thing we wished for was a little more time to explore in the various towns. For example, we only had 1 hour and 20 minutes to go through 4 floors of the Titanic museum, just not enough time to do it justice. Other than that, we were happy with all we did see.
