hi we have just been retired a few months and now would like to possibly go and look at the uk especially ireland.. havent checked out the travel shops as yet.. but am looking at maybe march to june next yr.. we are feeling quiet well and reasonably relaxed now so want to do it before our health maybe starts to fail us.. so any ideas.. on travel.. i think i would prefer a tour bus scenario..as i do not drive.. and think that hubby would also like to take in the scenary as well as myself. without having to concentrate on driving especially in another country.. has any one in cafe world experience organised tours.. are they rushed from daylight to sunset.. or time to take it all in.. would like some info before the travel people tell us all the sales blurb. happy to hear from all your aussie travellers.. as we have never been out of oz..

Have just got back from 5months travelling in UK.......I went from one end of it to the other, & I still missed a lot. I did some organised tours & some I did myself. You need to look at what each tour is offering & make a decision from that. I found you were limited to what you actually saw with a tour & time was a big factor on organised things......I would suggest that if you are passionate about something do it inyour own time.....but if you just want to see something then go organised.....some tours you can do a bit of both if they are the longer tours that give you free days or times. Thoroughly recommend the trip though.
