I loved our Irish experience! Everything about the trip was first-rate. I particularly appreciated the local guides, who were really tops, sharing insights and good fun with all of us. Our leaderssimply were outstanding in every way. Their professionalism in organizing our daily schedules, interacting with us, and handling problems big and small far exceeded my expectations. Congratulations to all of you!- Scottsdale, AZ

The variety of the hotels, not to mention the scenery and terrain of each of the hikes, made for a well rounded and really wonderful vacation. Balance between activity and down time was just perfect for me. The high quality of the trip, not surprisingly, was due to our leaders. They were fantastic, and complemented each other perfectlythey were just very, very good at their jobs. When I went on my first Backroads trip last year, I was really dubious of the group thing. But the structure of the trip and the fact that the leaders really do go out of their way to ensure each guest gets what they need makes the price of the trip worth every penny.- New York, NY

I loved the entire experience, and it was more than we hoped for. We got a real feel for the land, the people, the culture and history. Alexandria, VA
