Excellent guide and bus driver. We loved our tour. Our only complaint was the overpriced excursion to the Scottish show and dinner. The entertainment was sub par and the food was disgusting. We were also disappointed in the Liverpool tour. However overall we had a great experience. The Irish dinner and dance is a must!

No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable.

Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary.

Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
