We choose a AerLingus Rail Pkg out of Boston. Flight an hour early into Dublin. Six nights in four star hotels. Yes we had to figure logistics to rail stations. Great to go our own pace for almost 80 year olds. We went to Cork and Killarney. Took a Viator tour of Ring of Kerry, extra but worth it. November 1-8, 2023. Great value

Aer Lingus Vacation Store Company Reviews by Aer Lingus Vacation Store
Pleasantly Surprised - wonderful trip
Despite anxiety over reading poor reviews about Aer Lingus Vacation store, our entire vacation to Scotland was perfect from beginning to end with no problems at all. The Market Street Hotel exceeded our expectations, our hotel transfers were prompt and the drivers were helpful and very informative, all of our chosen activities were great, the trip vouchers were all accepted, our airline seats were fine, and that would be the only advice I'd offer, after AerLingus airlines established our confirmation/number, a few days after booking through the vacation store, I called the airline directly, they looked up our locater number and they were able to assign us seats next to each other on our main flight and our connecting flight- and although we couldn't pick a specific row, she told me what seats were together, that were available to us, there were a few, and she let me choose from that- so we had alittle say in that and most important, we sat together- you just need to plan and be proactive- if you dont do this, you will just randomly be assigned to any available seat.

Best of Ireland and Scotland
Most hotels were excellent but others were marginal. We were disappointed changes to the hotel list was made after our reservation. For instance, Novatel was replaced by Delta near the Edinburgh Airport. Novatel was situated in downtown near the attractions. Delta meant using transportation to City Center.

Amazing Britain by Trafalgar
Amazing Britain
Due to weather (Red Alert in the Highlands) the itinerary had to changed. I was impressed with the organization and leadership of the tour guide. L felt he had our best interests factoring safety first. The places we went instead enhanced the tour. Words even pictures cannot capture the history and beauty of the land.
