'I was very nervous as this was my first solo tour & my first time to the UK. I was put to ease at the pre dinner welcome drinks upon meeting my fellow travellers,tour director & coach driver. I had the time of my life & was kept on the go all the time. The knowledge the Tour Director gave prior to & at the destination was invaluable & increased the overall experience. I would recommend a solo tour to anybody considering one. I have made some life long friends along the way. So get out there and do it!'

'A wonderful trip and exquisite memories! Being with a great bunch of people from breakfast to bedtime; experiencing the beautiful midnight sunset over a loch on the Isle of Skye; taking a trip down memory lane on a steam train with a special friend; finding a hidden gem at a sparkling lake in Connemarra; drinking guinness with friends on a ferry to Ireland; enjoying laughter and fun at a Scottish show; pondering on a battlefield in Scotland; getting soaked in the rain on a magnificent lake in Windemere; hanging upside-down kissing the Blarney stone; wonderstruck by awe inspiring worn stone steps; praying at a cathedral in Liverpool; finding my heritage in Britain's rich history.'

'Another fantastic holiday by Encounter combined with our tour guide Eric and Driver Damian made it a truly hassle free holiday. Where the only thing to do was to enjoy every moment of my holiday and make new friends. Thanks again every one.'
