fly drive and escorted tours

I have been ti Ireland many times I have gone on Escorted bus tours. CIE is the best for this. It is a great way to get a feel for the country. You can do a short trip like I did my first time. Dublin, Killarney, Galway and out of Shannon. 


The next time was a bit longer. The Ring of Kerry and Blarney Castle are a must see. 


Some people don't like driving there since they drive on the opposite side of the road that we do. The roads are also rather narrow. That being said ,it can and should be done. Stays in B&Bs, Castles Hotels or Manor houses are available . It is a great way to see the country.


Brendan tours has a very good On your own drive option. I booked it last year for my clients and they loved it. 


In Italy you can also do fly drive or escorted. Most people prefer to drive in Tuscany.


Train is a great option in Italy.


Insight and Globus have some wonderful Italian escorted tours I have sold both and travelled to the heel of Italy ,Puglia on Globus.

Memorable trip to Ireland-Thanks to Charleen!
This was our second time with Charleen. Right from the beginning, Charleen's knowledge and experience in planning our trip to Ireland was apparent. We were joining another couple with a planned trip a little last minute and she was able to accommodate us in booking every detail. Needless to say, with emails, texts and calls back and forth, Charleen was responsive and efficient. We had a wonderful trip, with her planning details we wouldn't have thought of. Tours, accommodations and side trips suggestions made for a memorable trip. Thank you, Charleen!
