We had a wonderful time. The whole trip was a dream come true. It exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend. Loved the small tour group and staying at one location.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Ireland trip with Stephen. Comfortable travel, centrally located hotels, an amazing tour guide and wonderful travel companions. Ireland is the most beautiful and welcoming of countries, the people could not have been more helpful. Small tours is the best way to enjoy a country or a city. I will be booking with Adventures with Sarah again soon.
Stephen was a great tour guide! He and his brother(our driver) were very knowledgeable about Ireland , the sites we visited as well as the restaurants and pubs in the area.
Our group was a good size of 10 - 2 couples and the rest women- some w friends and several solos- it was a very friendly group. The trip was a lot of fun- quite a few unique experiences, a lot of knowledge gained about Ireland and the people of Ireland and loads of laughter!
We were given very little detail in advance of the trip Stephen gave us an update the night before as to what our basic agenda would be for the next day.
10 breakfasts, 1 picnic lunch, and 3 group dinners were the only meals included in the $4800 price for the trip. We were on our own for all other meals.
Staying at the Milltown House in Dingle was a real treat. The Falconry, gin and whiskey tastings , dinner and singing and dancing performance by Stephens River-dance friends made our stay extra special.
Stopping at another of Stephens friends to feed and hold the baby lambs was a unique experience as well.
Being a small group enabled us to see and do things large groups cannot easily do.
Most lodgings were nice and in good locations. The one in Belfast was not in the best neighborhood and they did not have single beds in the rooms nor did they have a room for Stephen. He had to get a room down the street and also got rooms for 2 people so everyone had there own bed to sleep in.. You had to go to the lodging operator to get a cab as they don’t normally come to the area.
It was my first trip to Europe and my first trip with AWS. It was a lot of fun!
Stephem McPhilemy and his brother were awesome guides!
Pace of trip was excellent we did not walk until we dropped
Activities chosen were good
Small van and group was nice
Hotel locations were good . Hotels were nice mid range and one high end.
Holding Lambs and the falconry experience were awesome
Learning the history, culture and great stories priceless
Communication with the company in the US and website/ itinerary changes need improvement
Loved the trip. Interesting, fun, and a great group to travel with. Morocco (as with other developing countries) is not easy to navigate. Our guide Hicham did an exceptional job. He was always one step ahead and kept everything safe, fun and interesting.
