Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Trip was very good and Gate 1 did a good job of getting us to see a lot of the country in a short time. Eliminating Waterford anf adding an extra night in Dublin would have been a better use of time. The Traecey (SP) Hotel was substandard and not in keeping with my previous experience on this trip and another Gate 1 trip
Everthing was according to plans,no hiccups and Rachael was wonderful to me,I am so tecniacally challenged
I felt the accommodations EXCEEDED the price we paid!!! I was so pleased!
Awesome experience - everything went off without a hitch! Excellent value. Some of the rooms in the hotel had "sub standard" views but overall were fine.
The small cart for two was replaced with a wagon for eight. Not the experience we paid for.
We had a wonderful vacation.
