The itinerary was fast paced, yet we were able to see so much. Hotels were good, some were a little out of town. Most of the optional experiences were lovely.
I thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the UK. Arnaud our guide was so much fun, yet professional. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Trafalgar and will definitely travel with them again.
The Itinerary was great, couldn't ask for more. The hotels were good, but can't compare with the hotels provided by Trafalgar in my Vietnam and Cambodia trip...really spoiled on that trip.
Arnaud was an excellent travel director. Always patient and cheery. I love visiting anything from the past and Scotland and Ireland, including England with its castles and monasteries provided that...very enlightening. All said and done, it was an enjoyable trip.
