We had a wonderful time touring Ireland. Lionel put together a great itinerary-a lot in a short period of time but grateful for being able to see so much of the country. All food and accommodations were top notch and hopefully we can partake in another trip down the road!

The trip was amazing. Jason as a tour guide was great and I am very grateful to Lionel for putting the trip in the NYSUT magazine. I was a bit apprehensive traveling with a group of people that I did not know but after meeting Lionel and the rest of the group that went away. I made new friends and I am even considering traveling with Lionel and the crew to Croatia Monte Negro. Thank you for being such a great trip arranger.

My daughter was the traveler. She hasn’t stopped talking about the experiences, the tours, the life changing things she saw and did. It was easy to administrate before her departure as well. Thanks for taking care of the logistics and the tours! Top rate experience for all involved.
