FamilyVerified booking2 days ago4/5Variety of sites. It was nice to have a couple of stops where there were some perks. nice to go to lunch and get a discount. Nice to goto a pub and get a free half-pint of Guiness. It would have been nice if there were more of that. It was disappointing that in order to go into some of the gift shops, one had to purchase a ticket to tour the facility. I know that is not really the responsibility of the tour bus company.NNicole L
