GROUP SIZE / LUXURY COACH
Sit back and relax in your comfortable seat, while someone else does the driving. State of the art coaches feature panoramic windows for optimum viewing of the countryside, reclining seats, individual climate controls, and a native Irish driver-guide. Utilizing coaches that will seat 48 passengers, there are plenty of mighty comfy seats for our group of 24-32 passengers.
OUR HOTELS
The Irish hotels are fabulous--check-in is swift, the meals are delicious and your baggage arrives and departs mysteriously from outside your door! There are no hidden costs--all agreed to expenses are paid before you leave the US...and the fabulous scenery everywhere we go is free! And, by booking with a group, we are take advantage of the tour company's wide range of hotel relationships. These hotels are thoroughly inspected by their staff, to ensure the very highest standards of quality, location, and service are being met. With everything prepaid, we never wait in line!
LUGGAGE
Once you meet your IRISH tour director and hand over your one large suitcase, you will not handle them again. At our Irish hotels your suitcase is delivered from the coach to your hotel room door, and collected again on departure from that hotel. Luggage is limited to one large suitcase and one carry-on per person; the hotel porters handle the large bag, you are responsible for moving your carry-on luggage to and from the coach to the hotel. (Unfortunately with the UK’s departure from the EU they have lost their work force who would normally have included porterage of luggage. So, porterage of bags in Scotland, England and Wales is on a hotel by hotel basis.)
ABOUT MEALS
Breakfast is served every morning in the hotel dining room, including a full Irish breakfast. Some midday and evening meals are also included. We usually participate in an Afternoon Tea in some lovely setting, and enjoy an evening that includes dinner and entertainment. Often, when we change hotels, dinner is included the first night in the new hotel. I prefer to allow people to choose where they dine for most meals, according to preference and frequency.
