We have doubts about our itinerary , can you suggest a reasonable one, interest in history, and to get acquainted with this great Nation, my grand grand father came from there, his last name is Callander. However this is our first time over. Also I would love to have some hotel or b b recommendations. Thank you.
Tell us what you were thinking and we can help you refine/improve/change it. But create one out of thin air -not w/o lots more info from you. Like When, how many days, where the ancestors lived, your budget, etc.
How long do you have? What are your interests? If just London, Edinburgh, bristol hotels Glasgow, then a car is not needed. Parking bristol hotels costs alone would be more than the rental, probably. If you wish to go further afield, bristol hotels I would recommend Thurso. Castle May is a good 3 hour tour, and taking the ferry and a bus tour ride to the Orkney islands is a real treat. A place to stay in Thurso is www.thursobayholidays.co.uk . We have used them for the past 2 summers bristol hotels and really enjoyed them. Wick is a neat little town to visit too. Just driving around the area is wonderful also. Great scenery.
Also when are you going? August is when the Edinburgh Festival takes place. You'd need to look for accommodations immediately. They book up as much as a year ahead of time. How much do you want to spend per room per night?
I made a mistake bristol hotels before, he was my grandmother's bristol hotels father, guess this makes him my great grand father came to Montevideo with the Briiish gas company. He married and had three absolutely beautiful daughters all to be married and live in Montevideo. Initially we were a Spanish colony but the British bristol hotels were involved in all those services bristol hotels also in meat packing, and tennis and soccer.

You need to decide what YOU really want to see. We have done quite a few road trips in the UK - but

My husband and I are in our early 60's and are researching a tour of Britain Ireland and Scotland for June of 2013. We are looking at an Insight or Trafalger tour. Would anyone recommend one over the other and if so why. Insight has a 17 and a 22 day tour. The 22 day tour includes Plymouth and Belfast where the shorter one doesn't. europe travel Would those stops be worth the extra time and $$?
I'd kill myself first (only a slight exaggeration) europe travel BTW - day 9 is mis-titled. It isn't EDINBURGH ST ANDREWS HIGHLANDS . . . That was day 8. Day 9 should say NEWTONMORE - CULLODEN - INVERNESS - SPEAN BRIDGE - FT WILLIAM - OBAN .
Driving is not a problem for the vast majority of visitors (of course one couldn't dream of covering as much territory as the two tours). Not in London or other major cities, but just about everywhere else driving is often the best way to tour.
Well it might not seem so long, but at least 8 of these 13 days are basically driving ALL DAY from breakfast time thru to early evening. Take Day 5 - Inverness, Loch Lomond and the English Lake District, that's a journey of 300 miles, taking over 6 hours continuous driving time (not allowing for ANY stops). There's no way I would do this journey in my own car let alone stuck on a coach.
You need to decide what YOU really want to see. We have done quite a few road trips in the UK - but if yuo won;t want to drive you can do a lot by train - with an occasional day tour to see something not easy to get to.
BUY, you have torealize how long it takes to get to things and actually see anything. The last time we went from London to York we took 3 days to do it - in order to have time to spend a full day (2 nights) in Oxford and another seeing sights further north. We have also visited the Cotswolds - but we took 3 nights ( 2 full days and 2 half days) It's simply not possible to see much if you try to work on a tour bus schedule.
If you are only considering tours as a possibility, I would limit it to either europe travel Ireland, Scotland or England. I know of several good tour companies that focus only on Scotland and there should be similar such companies in Ireland and England.
I understand your reluctance in driving, but the train can get you to a variety of places and even renting a car for a few days might be less a problem than you think. You might consider doing a 10/12day tour and combine it with a train.
With three weeks you could combine England with Scotland. I'd initially locate in London and do some day tours from there and then head to Edinburgh via train possibily stopping at York.In Scotland stay a few days in Edinburgh and then do one of the mnay tours offered. If interested I'd be glad to provide further europe travel information on several excellent tour companies that do tours ranging from a few days to 10/12 days.
I've done Britain/Ireland tours with Trafalgar. Insight and Trafalgar are owned by the same company. What makes insight tours more expensive are (and this is a generalization) higher standard hotels, a lower cap on the number of participantgs (generally 40 vs. 48), on the whole better included meals and perhaps a few more included admission fees.
The trafalgar tour I took was most satisfactory. People object to coach tours and it is a matter of opinion. There are pros and cons...I always preferred to know that when I arrived in a new burgh, I would be driven directly to my hotel, parked right in front, go right to my room and have my bag delivered. Others, and they're entitled to their opinions, feel more satisfied doing everything on their own.
As you may or may not know one of the things you get with organized coach tours is some pressure to buy optional tours which, for example, on arriving in a new burgh might ber a tourist type dinner with entertainment (say in Dublin an Irish cabaret with an included drink or two)...sometimes what is an optional on Trafalgar is included with Insight.
The main differences between Insight and Trafalgar is the location of your hotels, the number of people on the tour and the leg room on the bus. With Insight the hotels tend to be more centrally located. With Insight there are never more than 40 people on the bus whereas Trafalgar would be 48 or 50. The leg room is the real selling point for me, I'm 6'3.
One point I would like to make is that this is a TOUR not a VACATION. There will be many early morning europe travel departures and some late nights. This is what you are signing up for when you tour. I am always surprised when people we have toured with complain about the early mornings. Had they done sufficient research beforehand they may well have realised they were not suited for 'touring'.
I want to add that you don't need to choose between a guided bus tour and driving europe travel yourself. There's a third option, traveling by train and bus. You can take the train to a city like Edinburgh, base there for several days and take day trips, either independently or guided ones, to places like St. Andrews europe travel and Stirling Castle. And Glasgow is only an hour by train from Edinburgh.
We've taken three Trafalgar tours-England,Scotland,Wales; England,Scotland,Wales,Rep.of Ireland; Israel.We loved all 3. We've also taken lots of cruises and a few independent trips in Europe.Good things to be said for all of them.On the motorcoach trips we did much more than we felt we could have done on our own. Someone else did the driving, europe travel planning, organizing, so we could sit back and enjoy the experience. You become somewhat like a family with the other travelers. We still are in contact,visit some friends we made on 2 of the trips. It's a good way to get an overview of a country. There were frequent stops for stretching, snacking, restrooms. Our tour guides were excellent. The advice to read carefully all the details is good advice. If you want an in depth visit to a particular europe travel place, a motorcoach tour is not for you.But if you want to see lots of intetresting things in a two or three week timespan, then it's something to consider.
Two years ago we were on Skye and wanted to take the small ferry from Kylerhea to Gleneig. When we got to the other side there was a Timberbush group of about 6/8 people waiting to crossover to Kylerhea. This would have been impossible for a large tour bus. IMO this is what really distinquishes a large group from a small group tour...you europe travel can get to places that large groups simply can't without losing any of the advantages of a Trafalgar, CIE or Insight tour.
We are coming from Canada. europe travel It does seem as though a coach tour could give us an "overview" of the countries. The early mornings europe travel on a coach tour would not be a problem for us. Thank you for the names of the small coach tours. I will research them. There are definite savings from Trafalgar and Insight if you book by the end of December. Wonderful to have seasoned europe travel travellers share their wealth of information with us.
PJMA. I hope I am not too late! I have conducted over 450 guided tours in Ireland Great Britain - 15000 Americans, Aussies etc.. Do not under any circumstances europe travel do a guided tour anywhere in Europe where the tour operator sells optional extra excursions. They are a rip off. You will be bombarded on a Trafalgar Tour Insight with these optional excursions your tour cost will increase by about 30% on tour. Not only that they ruin the itinerary that you have paid for because you get rushed europe travel around. Check the itinerary you will find that there are only about 30% of nights with dinner included that means an optional excursion for every night with no dinner rushing to the hotel to leave on the excursion. On tour review europe travel sites this is still the biggest complaint. They are a rip off believe me. Try CIE tours - they do not sell optional excursions europe travel on tour are cheaper than Trafalgar. No I never worked for CIE by the way! Good luck!
While I do agree for the most part about the virtues of CIE for Irish, Scottish and English tours, the language europe travel regarding optional excursions is a bit harsh. The biggest problem with optional tours is so many participants on group tours are not briefed by whomever books the tours for them of their existance and then are hit with making the selection say on the second day out on tour and it is somewhat unexpected. But not all are rip offs. Some are fun especially as you have bonded with other members of the group. they are standard type excurxsions for the most part that are offered commercially in almost every tourist europe travel place in the world.
That is not to say some feel that way but I've been on a few Trafalgar tours and didn't feel that way. Sure I can visit an Irish pub probably somewhat cheaper than my tour does on an optional excursion. europe travel I don't question that. But the convenience of just going downstairs in the hotel, hopping on the coach, doing the optional, getting back on our tour bus with our tour group being driven back to the hotel might be worth the slight extra cost.

Thank you for your reply and suggestions I just booked a hotel for the first three nights in Edinbur

Hello! pictures of tom cruise I am in the planning stages for a trip this August to Scotland then Ireland. As always I have to ask questions of the Fodor's Forum for my trip! I have the flights booked into Edinburgh and out of Dublin to home - Toronto. I have tickets booked for the Military Tatoo in Edinburgh...but that is all so far. We will spend the first couple of days in Edinburgh pictures of tom cruise exploring then after the Tatoo would like to spend 3--4 days exploring some parts of Scotland. But where do we go...and how do we go? We would like to do some type of walking tour? Then we would like to take a ferry to Ireland, and do some type of walking tour there? But what areas are best? Never been there before and this is a "retirement" trip... but we are in pretty good shape! Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you!
Thank you for your reply and suggestions I just booked a hotel for the first three nights in Edinburgh. We will stay there and explore for three days then see the Tatoo. Then we were hoping to rent a car and head out to see some scenary and towns for 2 - 3 days? But looking for advice on which way to go? We would like in Scotland to drive by ourselves but really only have only 3 days..and would like to end the drive at the place to catch the Ferry to Northern Ireland. So any suggestions for the drive? In Ireland we would like spend a day ourselves in Dublin...but would like a walking tour... pictures of tom cruise but which region?

So as soon as I arrived at my parents' quiet house, I relaxed, and then slept for "forever". All I d

To make sure I enjoyed it to the fullest, I first cooked. My Parisian kitchen is rather limited a.k.a. stove-less amongst other things so preparing a dish for the potluck dinner was a treat. I peeled and sliced 6 parsnips and added them to a buttered dish with sliced onions, gruyere, shredded kale, and sprigs of thyme.
Then I poured over a heated mixture of heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, nutmeg, white pepper, flour and more thyme. I topped with gruyere and a pinch of nutmeg before covering the dish and placing it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. Later, at Leslie's, I baked it for another 20 minutes uncovered.
There, I enjoyed three different kinds of homemade hummus (plain, sun-dried tomato, and pesto), along with a yogurt san antonio river walk hotels dip, kale salad, glazed carrots, and my parsnip gratin . Five other even-lovelier-than-the-tasty-food-they-brought were present. And for dessert, we were all about the red wine chocolate fudge brownies .
Why? Well, to see Miss Katie , of course! And brunch at a charming Greek restaurant that serves omelettes san antonio river walk hotels with fries, and toast, and salad, and a complimentary mimosa for only $12. 'Twas a busy wonderful 24 hours.
So as soon as I arrived at my parents' quiet house, I relaxed, and then slept for "forever". san antonio river walk hotels All I did on this lazy Sunday was see a fantastic movie with my Mom, and only now am about run out to meet friends for a glass of wine. I cannot wait to be back in Paris next weekend, but gosh, there is nothing like being home in New York.
