We travel quite a bit, we cruise a lot and also do independent land tours. Have spent time in Villa's in Tuscany, driven many miles through France, Holland, Italy, etc. We finally decided to take a land tour with a Company for the first time. We took an 8 day CIE bus tour in Ireland. It was not good. Boring, many of days spent on the bus and targeted places to stop. I think if we ever took another land tour I would want to know how many hours each day on bus, the stops and the hotels etc. I will say the hotel's on the CIE tour were fine but the hours on the bus and not too good tours were disappointing.
