15-Day Britain and Ireland Tour from London: York, Edinburgh, Dublin and the Ring of Kerry

This trip was fast paced and covered so much, which was outlined clearly in the trip description. I enjoyed all of it and was glad to get a good sampling of each country. Trafalgar was wonderful to work with before the trip, and we were lucky to have Sophie Evans and Sophie Evans, our dynamic duo, as Tour Guide and Driver. Both were fun, knowledgeable and worked hard for all of us! If you want a sampling of everything, this was an excellent way to do it.
