Ireland Trip Review: Dublin, Belfast, Newgrange, 2-Week Tour

Our trip was great.  Paula gave us recommendations on what to see and we were able to make adjustments on a daily basis with our guides.  We only had tickets arranged for a few places ahead of time so our schedule was very flexible.  Our guide in Dublin and our guide in Belfast were both very knowledgeable about their cities.  Our guide in Dublin spent more than the allotted time showing us the city.   Our driver/guide for most of the trip was knowledgeable and clearly very enthusiastic about sharing Irish History. Unfortunately our time with him was cut short when he became ill.  Paula stepped up and was able to find last minute replacements for the two days we had left before reaching Belfast. The brothers who replaced him made the two days very pleasant. Our driver to Bru na Boinne and the airport was very pleasant.  All our accommodations and breakfasts were good. The staffs at all the accommodations were very friendly and pleasant. Having a driver/guide was a bit pricey but well worth it. We were both able to relax and enjoy the scenery and were shown areas we probably would not have found on our own while avoiding some of the busiest places.
