What travelers are saying

"We just went on Iconic Ireland and Ashford Castle and had a wonderful time. This was our first bus tour and we didn't know quite what to expect, however, we couldn't have had a more perfect time. Ireland is a beautiful country and we were stunned and thrilled with all the beauty we were able to see. The hotels were great - some definitely better than others but all were comfortable. My only complaint was that our last hotel had no ac and Ireland was experiencing a heat wave so the fan didn't help very much. That wasn't anyone's fault and I just went with the flow. Barbara (our guide) and Marina (our driver) were great and genuinely seemed to be concerned with everyone's comfort. The grande finale of Ashford Castle was incredible. Such a beautiful place and to be able to stay a night there was incredible. I ended up doing the Hawk Walk and horseback riding and I would recommend both - especially the hawk walk to anyone - I think people who are good riders would probably get to do more than we did but it was still great. I would recommend Brendan and this trip to anyone. Perfect amount of down time and activity. Loved it!"

What travelers are saying

"First off, out master of ceremonies, Ben, was simply outstanding. He anticipated so many of our needs - and wants. He was knowledgeable and funny. He helped me a lot with accessibility issues - but he seemed to identify and remember everyone's special needs. He arranged a last minute float plane day trip for us to Victoria. He even pointed us to a nonprofit theatre production of "Guys and Dolls" in Vancouver - best production I've ever seen of the show!"
