Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We received excellent service from this travel company. From the planning through last minute changes during the trip, the travel team was fully engaged and highly responsive. Stephanie worked with us on setting just the right itinerary (places to stay, how long to stay, means of transportation, etc) and Emily was always on a quick message or phone call away during the trip.
The trip itself exceeded all our expectations - even the weather cooperated (10 straight days of sun in England/Ireland!?!?)
We will definitely be using this travel agency again and we are very grateful to Zicasso for matching us up.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We loved staying at centrally located hotels. We could walk out our door and in a few steps were walking down a street full of buskers or pubs or shops. We wanted to feel like we were in the middle of it all and the places we stayed did that perfectly.
We also enjoyed our day trips. The planned outings were very high quality and the drivers/guide were exceptionally knowledgable. Probably our tour of Stonehenge and Bath with our guide was the best day of the trip. He was so informative, but also so friendly and funny. It was simply amazing. Our trip with our guide for the tour of Dingle was also amazing. He was hilarious but also full of amazing stories and history!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would not stay at the hotel in London. The hotel was nice, but while we were there the entire building's AC went out. Rather than just owning up to it and adjusting (provide fans, cold waters, etc), the staff just kept telling us it was bc we didn't know how to work the thermostat!?! We understand things like this happen. I was much more disappointed in how they communicated about it than the actual event. The location was not that great either.
I would recommend a guided bus tour (not hop on/hop off, but an actual guided tour) for the first day in London and Dublin. It would have been a better way to see the full city. Then you could use your second days to go to specific sites.
I would have booked the London eye tickets well in advance. It was sold out when we were there
I would not do a tour of the Aran Islands. I would just take a nice jaunting car or something out to Dun Aengus and skip the island tour. It felt too rushed.
