Best of UK & Ireland

We covered a lot of ground both by coach and foot. There were early mornings and some late nights, but there were opportunities to take it easy if needed as well. However, every moment had worth. Our tour leader Lee was an incredible storyteller with a contagious passion for his home country of Scotland. Our coach drivers Oliver and Ben were amazing at maneuvering the tight roads. If all trips are as organized and full of once in a lifetime experiences as this trip, I will be taking more!

Loved the tour! It was very fast paced but we saw and did so much! This was my fifth Expat tour-highly recommend.

This trip was amazing .Our tour guide Branden and driver Rob went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience A stop here. A walk there ..time permitting of course .zbranden was very informative on the history of the places we visited adding to the experience. Very good value for money and very happy with meals ?'accommodation .and the optionals offered..I would happily recommend this your to friends

Non stop action!!!!!! We had a blast all round. It helps to have a GREAT Tour LEADER BRANDO and bus driver ROCKET ROB. We were fortunate enough to have awesome weather as well. Optional tours we great too.

I really enjoyed this tour because of Peter our tour leader who was so organised, patient, knowledgeable & created a wonderful atmosphere. And we all felt really safe with Rob as the driver and he was so friendly and helpful. We saw so much in the 2 weeks, standout for me was Liverpool & Stratford on Avon, though had memorable moments in each & every country.

We really enjoyed this amazing trip. The itinerary was awesome, thanks Expat. Our tour leader, Peter, and co-tour leader, Lee, were great. Peter was very organized and friendly from day 1 until the end. He was full of knowledge, very good character with smile, and patience. He looked after  everybody in the group. For example,  he always walked from the front to the back of the coach asking if anyone had questions and/or needed help. He is one of the best tour leaders that we experienced on our trips (7 times with Expat). Thanks to Lee for taking care of the group. He was also friendly and full of knowledge. He made sure the group is safe and no one got lost during the walking tours. Lastly thanks to our excellent driver, Paul, for the safe and smooth coach ride. He was also funny.

We had Peter as our tour leader and Paul as our driver on our tour, plus Lee shadowing as a new addition to Expats tour leaders, and I could not have imagined our tour being with anyone better! Peter is extremely well organized, he's also very outgoing and positive which kept all 46 of us on tour that way too, and of course he was very knowledgeable in the history of all the places that we stopped in, including putting out recommendations for great places to eat and shop because what else do you do on vacation?! Paul's driving is impeccable! There were some realllllly tight turns that the coach has to make and Paul got through them without a sweat! We would have never made it on time to all of the places that were planned for us to have our adventure in if it weren't for Paul and his wonderful driving! The overall experience of being in England, Ireland, and Scotland was incredible and I would love to return! The only thing I would have loved to see a little more of was Scotland!

A very hectic pace but enjoyed it We met Some great people on the coach sharing our experience Our tour guide was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour

I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.

The Best of the UK & Ireland was an incredible trip! Branden and Ashley were an amazing tour guide/driver team. Their positivity and passion for exploring shined through as they led us through the UK and Ireland, showing us some of the most beautiful sites. Branden was full of knowledge and was able to provide invaluable information everywhere we went. I loved the group we traveled with and wish we could have continued on further. I highly recommend this tour.

Many fantastic sights throughout the tour. Great tour guide, and incredibly experienced driver. In my honest opinion, 8:30 or 9:00 pm is too late for dinner. It leaves no time to digest the meal before bed, or to explore the area around the hotel. The suggestion of grabbing a meal in the late afternoon doesn't make a difference. It would be better to for the hotel to be in a central location. That way, the orientation tour could be given before check-in, leaving the rest of the time to explore on our own. I would like to have spent more time in Wales. One whiskey tasting could be cut.

We saw so many incredible places! Just beautiful! Love the UK and Ireland. The people are so pleasant!
