First coach holiday experience for myself and my elderly mother, would not do again. A warning about a 1.30am start to get to the ferry port would have been nice when I phoned to book, rather than finding out 2 weeks before travel. Waiting in a dark bus station by Bournemouth station with only the rough sleepers and drunks for company was not the most auspicious start, I had to wander off to find the taxi and leave my mum on her own. Not impressed. Shared and very squashed taxi journey for the first leg, dropped off at a dark lay-by on an industrial estate in Havant at 2.30am… not impressed. Emailed while away to highlight personal security concerns and asking for a taxi just for the 2 of us for return last leg. Email went unanswered, not impressed. The Ireland bit was fine.

Holiday as advertised in 2023 brochure misleading i.e. 'Killarney and Ring of Kerry'. Hotel actually in Tralee. Brochure we had stated that for 2023 holidays the hotel would be in Kilarney Only spent 90 minutes in Killarney during the whole tour. Much of this time was taken up by the jaunting car ride. No time to explore the town and surrounding area further. Could easily have spent a whole day visiting attractions in Killarney National Park. Also, there was only one unaccompanied driver on this tour, while the other tours leaving the interchange appeared to have two. Having said that the driver did a fantastic job in seeing to passenger needs. In addition we were was surprised by the pick up time for the tour of 2.30am. It would have been nice to have advised of this at the time of booking.
