Travel Review: Luxury Ireland & England Tour, Dublin, London, Galway, Newgrange, Irish National Stud & Gardens, Westminster Abbey

While staying in Dublin we visited the Irish National Stud Farm with a wonderful guide who knew the facility intimately.  He also took us to a local horse farm where he knew the owner and where we saw beautiful Irish race horses being tended to.  Our guided trip to New Grange was more interesting than we expected.  Again, the guide was talkative and helpful in understanding the importance of the location. Taking the train to Galway was an eye opener for us as the young people on the train practically had a party the 3 hours we spent.  We were able to talk to a number of locals on the train.  Galway was special and our stay too short, but we'll be back there someday.  The Castle was a unique experience and one we'll never forget.  Everything at the Castle, including the surrounding grounds, was spectacular.  We loved our room, the food and the service.  Every one of the staff was exceptional, providing us with a level of comfort we had not experienced previously.  The spa was, without question, the best facility we've ever seen.  And we both agreed that the massages were as good or better than we had before.  
London was so much more memorable with a guide who took us through Westminster Abbey and the British Museum, both places we'd been to before.
