Trip Reviews (24)
The tour was such an experience, we loved it, the scenery was to die for and we would definitely travel with Globus again. My only negative comment is in regard to a hotel in Glasgow. I thought it was sub standard with no air flow and the carpet was loose on the floor and not very clean.. A hotel that I think probably should not be in the group, though in saying that the meal provided by this hotel was very nice with good service. Maybe the tour pace a little rushed with the optional excursions and included meals. Our overall comment is great fun had by all with a very sociable group who all interacted well together and cared for others. If I could do this again I would want the very same group and tour leader so thank you Globus it's a credit to your team.
The tour was full on and unfortunately we didn't stop for long in many places to have a bit of a relax. The weather in some parts was wet and we missed seeing much of the Ring of Kerry as it was wet and misty that day but overall the weather was not too bad and didn't stop us from sightseeing. I would recommend Globus as a tour company, they were very well organised and I liked the itinerary more than some of the others offered. The hotels we stayed in were all pretty good, some better than others but that was to be expected. We had no complaints with any of them. My only suggestion is that it would be nice if more hotels offered a more reasonable laundry service or a guest laundry on site as travelling for that amount of time, washing becomes a bit of an issue. In Killarney the hotel offered to wash a bag of clothes for 20 Euros which most people on the coach used and found it very helpful.
We didn't do many of the optional excursions but the ones we did were really enjoyable. I really liked the extra tour of Liverpool which I found very interesting. Overall we both had a great time on our tour and would recommend it to anyone. Madeline at Global Journeys did a wonderful job of booking our travel for us and would happily book with them again.
