This trip to Ireland was long awaited and had to be postponed two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Possibly we could have gone last year, but there would have been significantly more restrictions on Covid protocols, and we just didn’t want to see Ireland through a mask! We were ready to go and very anxious to see Ireland.
Once again, we chose to travel with Tauck for our tour of Ireland. This is our third trip with Tauck, and I cannot say enough about their quality. Our tour director Madeleine Doherty was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, caring and most important Irish. This trip was our first trip that we travelled solely by bus. In true Tauck fashion the bus was a full-size Mercedes bus and looked to be almost brand new. Since there were only 20 of us on the tour, and the bus probably held 60, we had plenty of room to spread out. In fact we were assigned seats, but there was always one to two rows between each couple.
My favorite Irish phrase from the entire trip: “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”
