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..

Having gone overseas 3 times to Europe and England, the last time being 25 years ago when my wife and I got married whilst on holidays in Germany, we would do it all again. We booked a England,Scotland and Wales tour from Australia, It was like Contiki tours, but called Tracks, I'm not sure if it is still operating. But just check prices of different tour groups and what they offer and where they go. Most imprtantly that they have a courier/tour leader on board.
Have a nice holiday
