A really good trip. Comfortable and clean coach as well as the hotel by the lake. Excursions were interesting and of a historical nature.

Location beautiful, traveling not so good Bad show at Stop 24 no announcement that our transfer coach cancelled and a replacement coach was taking us back to Liverpool had to ask a fellow passenger for the information otherwise would have still been sitting there all night!!! Have to say though that our drivers (especially Roddy and Phil outstanding)
