I love how David shared both the history and personal stories as applicable. In sharing my fondness of Maeve Binchy’s literature, David provided something her literature did not: An intimate story about her life. Thank you so much!

Great trip. We enjoyed the train ride to start the trip, bus transfer and return train ride. Smooth and efficient. Bunratty Castle was enjoyable. Wish we had more time to tour the Medieval Village. The lunch stop at the small pub was a highlight. Great food, excellent, friendly service. Cliffs of Mohr were amazing, although a bit crowded. Final stop in Galway was a good break. Beautiful town square.
