History and Culture in Ireland and Scotland
Highlights of Ireland and Scotland

Firstly, my travel advisor, Hannah Perry. With more than 3 decades of frequent international travel, I rarely needed a consultant to help me organise my trips. On the occasions I used one, Hannah has stood out to be the most professional, responsive, helpful, supportive and friendly I had the pleasure of dealing with. She's a great asset to Global Journeys.
The read more trip with Trafalgar. It's generally good for anyone who hasn't done an organised tour before. For us, we were expecting a bit more, especially in locations which we considered significant. This is typical of most tours in this category where sometimes too much time is spent around some attractions and not enough on others. Having said that, to have everything planned out by someone with little effort on our part is great. Combine that with a good tour director, driver and fellow travellers, that is still a good vacation. Whichever way you travel, Ireland and Scotland are definitely worth visiting.

Overall sights of tour were great as was our tour guide Aileen, who was also very good. Only issue we had some accommodation which was older and pretty tired - needs to be looked at. Thanks.
