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.

The speedy ‘Grand Prix’ tour of the UK was a great experience that touches all the must-see places. The Tour Director and coach captain both did an excellent job to fill each day with wonderful unforgettable memories.

Ethan at Global Journeys was fantastic. Any questions we asked, he answered in a timely fashion, giving us ideas, suggestions and links of where to order and make plans. He was great to work with. Thanks so very much. It was a great trip that we thoroughly enjoyed. If you are ordering or making any plans, remember you are on military time in the read more UK. It can save you a lot of stress. 6 pm bus order is really 18:00. Thanks Ethan for all of your Pre-trip help creating a great adventure.

The Irish Adventure was the second part of our holiday- the first being a trip around Italy with Insight Vacations. CIE was a wonderful tour company also. A much bigger group, 40 people. So when we first saw how large the group was I must say I was a little concerned how it would all work, but the driver/tour guide was excellent and it all went very read more smoothly.
We loved Ireland, the Irish humour and stories/myths and it was a lot of fun. Again we were the only Australians. Although it was a large group, many travelled together and were in groups of say 6 or 7, so they pretty much kept to themselves which was fine. It then made the group of people “mingling” together to be around 24, so again it was lovely sharing that time. Everyone got on very well and the activities etc catered to the majority of the people. The accommodation was also excellent, each one better than the previous. And on our last day in Dublin, we happened to arrive for the grand final of a big Irish football league and the team that won had not won for 75 years, so you can imagine the party celebrations in Dublin that night. And our hotel was right opposite the stadium where the game was played, so the atmosphere was fabulous!! And naturally, we all joined in on the celebrations even if we did not understand or watch the game……..the sheer jubilation, stories and celebration was enough to want to be a part of. So I would recommend CIE also, although I got the impression that most tours around Ireland are around to 35-40 people mark. Again, thank you Grace for all your assistance with our overseas trip. 😊

Debra and John, VIC, Australia, Jul 2026
We had an excellent tour director and driver. We specifically chose this tour because we wanted to go to the Orkney Islands and Isle of Skye. We were unable to achieve this due to weather conditions for the Orkneys and motor bike accident that closed the road to the Isle of Skye and cut short our stay there. We were disappointed with Insight’s compensation read more for these cancellations, which was a trip to a historical cemetery, which was originally a paid optional extra, that we had chosen not to do. The cost of including the Orkneys and Isle of Skye was a reasonable as part of our tour cost. We were of the view a number of additional optional paid experiences did not represent good value for money, in particular the dinners, with the exception of the Torphichen dinner. Accomodation was 4 star with the exception of the highlands in Scotland which we rated as 2.5.
