We traveled with Trafalgar two years ago - Best of Italy and it was fabulous. Therefore, we decided to do their Irish Experience. It was horrible. Most of the hotels did not have AC even when some hotels did offer AC in the same village, Trafalgar booked cheaper rooms. Ireland is cool so opening windows was suitable; however, most windows opened only a crack for safety reasons. Therefore rooms were hot and stuffy. Then Trafalgar saved themselves even more money by putting us in noisy hotels. With Windows being forced open, you could hear pub fights and arguments at wee hours of the morning followed by loud crashing noises of construction that occurred at 3am on the outskirts of Londonderry. The food, included on trip, was all hotel food. It tasted awful and each hotel offered same selections so we were eating same food every night.

We would have liked more time a few of the venues and a little less time at others--totally our personal preference! Our tour guide kept saying--"this is just a taste--you'll need to come back for more." We will not be able to afford to come back, so that approach to our trip was not anticipated.

For Ireland, would make sure it is highlighted somewhere that most hotels do not have air conditioning. Fans not always available. Arriving in Dublin, Ireland Operator did meet us in airport, bus shuttle required walking with all luggage to bus lot.

My first trip with Trafalgar went beyond my expectations. It was a great time had by all.
