As previous note - very nice nice travel mates and helpful travel guides
Karen Marlaine Leahy
Wonderful trip aside from some transportation issues
Personally I would have preferred less time spent in Bath and Stratford on Avon, and more time in Liverpool. I especially loved Ireland, and would have liked more time in Dublin and Galway.
All the hotels were very nice except the last one. It was far from the city so we couldn’t enjoy our last evening, it was an hour drive to the airport which made us get up extra early, and the rooms were sub par and not air conditioned.
Our British tour guide walked too fast without consideration for two women with canes and another with difficulty walking. The Irish guide was by far more personable and engaging.
