Great service

This was our first tour and when we were delayed leaving Chicago I got nervous. I knew we were going to miss our plane from Heathrow to Dublin. I called the emergency number. When we arrived at Heathrow I had a call telling us what flight we were on and staff was there to pick us up. From there on it was an very organized and enjoyable tour -

Lovely sights of Ireland/Northern Ireland
-
Service
The accommodations were lovely, especially the Manor House and Cabra Castle. The included evening meals offered good selections and were served very nicely. The motorcoach was modern and clean. However, the seats on the passenger side had very little leg room and were Not comfortable. Seats on the driver's side offered more space. Coach apparently was structured for 50 seats, and this was TOO many! Several passengers mentioned this. -
Tour
The tour director was knowledgeable and very efficient. The Giant's Causeway and Inishowen peninsula were spectacular. We stopped for Irish coffee, which we loved! Also enjoyed very much Rathbaun Farm--sheep demonstration. We were served delicious scones and jam! It would have been nice to arrive at the hotels a bit earlier in the day, to enjoy the property and surroundings.

"SHADE OF IRELAND" What a wonderful trip.Our tour guide Barbara and Driver were excellent. Barbara went above and beyond her duties. We left our hotel and got on the bus and half way through I realized I had left my jewelry in the hotel safe. I told Barbara, she called the hotel and within two days I received my jewelry back. We loved all the tours we were on. The scenery was breath taking. I couldn't be more happy. My boys (Bryan, and Kevin) loved it also. It was a great experience for them both, They never were overseas. I'm glad I got to spend time with them. One of my favorite part was staying overnight at the castle. My husband was asked about who ran the trip and all the information about Collette. My husband and I are going to England next year with my son Jeffrey and his wife Nicole. If Collette runs tours to England we love information for that. My family and I (Larry,Linda,Bryan, and Kevin Doyle) would like to thank Barbara our tour guide, David our Driver for one of the greatest experiences of our lives. Thanks, The Doyle Family

I was with a group but flew in separately. I was greeted at the airport and transported to the hotel by an extremely nice gentleman. When I arrived at the hotel, I checked in without issue but the person I was sharing a room with had been given all the information as to where to meet up for dinner and the name of our tour director. My "roommate" had arrived about an hour and a half earlier, was given all the information, stored her luggage and taken off to tour the city. -

Saw a lot but way too many people on the tour, the tour guide was efficient but aloof, and Collette nickel and dimes on silly things. Charging one euro for a bottle of water, and not having st least a couple of nights where all wine is included with dinner was cheap and silly. Also, we stayed two nights in Limerick, which has little to offer, and only two hours in Galway, which seemed to have so much to offer and see.

Too many people on the tour, charging for bottled water is silly, tour guide was efficient but aloof, staying in Limerick two nights was questionable.

Poor pre-arrival planning
-
Service
Overall, very good. Began with a problem. Collette travel booked us into the hotel in Dublin arriving at the hotel by 5 AM. No rooms available. The streets were uninhibited and it was raining. Had to wait in the hotel lobby until 10 AM for a available room. Tried reaching the Collette Tour manager but no one at the desk knew of his assistance. Once he was identified, he talked to the desk and was told it was a priority..... this was at 6 AM. Nothing happened until 10 AM. We blame Collette Travel for not booking us into a flight time that would have got us arriving around the 9-10 AM which other Collette travelers come into the hotel at that time.

Our Tour Manager was very nice but was found to argue with guests and appeared to be very disorganized. As the trip continued, he improved and his communication of daily events or upcoming events was better.

Tour
Loved the towns of Kilkenny and Kilarney the most. I just wish we could have spent more time there. The tour needs to be longer or tweaked. Spent too much time in Derry and would have much rather had more time in Kilkenny and Kilarney. Should skip Waterford all together or make it an add on option for those interested. if you aren't into crystal Waterford doesn't offer much else. Only had 1 hour and 45 mins. in Kilkenny and also didn't have enough time at the Blarney Castle to actually go up into the castle. The tour schedule is just too tight and you are in and out of too many hotels.
Thank you for traveling with Collette to Ireland. Your feedback has been forwarded to the Product Development Team so that they can review your comments on the timing and pacing of the itinerary. This feedback will be used to enhance this tour for our future guests.

Every arrangement, accommodations, food, and tours were superb. Our tour guide, Rebecca Bell was one of the best we have encountered, professional, entertaining, and knowledgeable.

First off Ireland is beyond beautiful. Our host John Fitzgibbons was superb. He was funny, entertaining and the most knowledgeable person I have known. Our coach driver John Mulryan has to be one the best drivers in Ireland. He was so polite and was always helping us on and off the bus. The places we visited were all breath taking.

The tour was well done except for the fact that my friend and I were left at Cabra Castle (which is way off the beaten path) with no transportation back to Dublin since we were staying four extra days in Dublin. Had I know sooner that this might be a problem I would have made arrangement for a way to get back to Dublin. As it turns out, we were able to get a car and driver but that wasn't a given.

There were too many little sites on the tour that were extra, not included in the tour. I've been on other tours where so many more sites were already included in the tour. Not enough historical information given out about Ireland. The tour manager took pictures along the way that he emailed to us at the end of the tour, which was a nice touch. Other than that, not too involved with the tour group.

First of all, Collette is one of the few tour companies that offers a tour of BOTH the Republic of Ireland AND Northern Ireland, and we wanted to tour both. Second, from the first inquiry right up through the last contact with our tour guide and driver, we were given superb service. All aspects of the tour were excellent! We all felt in expert hands the whole trip; the bus was comfortable; the hotels were great; and the tour guide (Erin Egresitz) was the perfect guide: friendly, bright, warm, welcoming, educational. Even on the last morning she was up to see us off at 5:00 AM (which she didn't need to do).

As usual, Collette's service was excellent. Our guide was the best one I've had in all 4 of my Collette trips. He was very well organized, and everything was always on time. The hotel choices were great and they contributed to the excellent service as well. John was an exceptional guide. He kept things running smoothly, could answer any question and gave us an excellent history lesson. He kept us well informed of our itinerary for a few days at a time so we knew what was coming up. And of course his jokes were great! I still plan on going to New Zealand some day and will try to have him as my guide.
-
Tour
This tour was my favourite of the 4. The country is small so there isn't too much travel time between stops, leaving us more time to sight see. The choices of places to stop was terrific. It was varied, and offered us a glimpse of different ways of life in different parts of the country. My favourite place was "The Cliff of Moher". They were spectacular. Just awe inspiring. But by far, my favourite city was Derry. I'm so glad I chose to take the Northern Ireland trip as well. It was truly amazing. The people were so genuine and Derry was just a great city. I loved Ireland so much that I plan to return in a few years. This is something I don't do because there are so many places to see that I prefer to go somewhere new each time. But Ireland has a special place in my heart.

I always book my air travel thru Collette as I feel it helps to eliminate any scheduling issues relating to the start of the tour. For the first time, I received a call from the air travel dept. asking if I would be interested in rebooking my air to leave from a closer airport at a reduced cost. Collette didn’t have to do this and while it ultimately didn’t happen because of a scheduling change on the airline’s part, I was impressed that Collette “was keeping an eye”on my reservation.
-
Tour
The entire tour was memorable. I only found one hotel to be sub par(in Waterford) perhaps it was the best available for the area. Our Tour Manager was FANTASTIC. This is the second trip I have taken with Collette where our Tour Manager was a native of the country. This makes all the difference in the world. It adds a layer to the tour that can not be explained in the brochures. One gets a real insight into the hearts and minds of the people whose country you are visiting and that really can make all the difference.

It was well-paced with a great general overview of Irish culture and history. Loved the accommodations, particularly the Granville Hotel in Waterford. They went all out for us. The Irish House Party first night entertainment was fun. Other favorites, the jaunting car ride in Killarney, the entire trip around the gorgeous Ring of Kerry with a stop at the Kerry Bog Village. The best part of the trip next to the stunning scenery had to be our outstanding guide Fiona Lane. Along with our able and affable driver Fergal, they embodied Ireland.The provided meals were mostly great, with my favorite being in Limerick, where we chose the Hampton. They had a wonderful selection of appetizers and entrees, and great desserts. My least favorite meal would be the last night at Barberstown Castle, a last minute substitution for Cabra Castle. The hotel was lovely but the 2 entree choices were sea bass or duck, neither a favorite. Also, we were not as happy with the The George in Limerick as the other hotels. The lobby setup was strange. Unfortunately, my husband was sick on day 8 so, rather than leave him alone all day, we both missed the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. Still the trip was a dream. Ireland is a magic place. It wasn't by chance we chose Collette. We were born and brought up in Pawtucket, having met at Tolman HS, and lived there most of our lives. We did a Collette 10 day California in the 80's and a 10 day Texas tour in the 90's, so we know how well you do things.

Yes I would use Collette again. The tour guide and the bus driver were the best. The hotels all were very nice and all our arrangements were handled well. I felt like sometimes you chinced out, like no water provided (except to purchase) while on the bus, no night of free wine (but for one glass). Keep your Collette pin and key chain in exchange.

The tour guide and bus driver were excellent. The hotels were all nice. Skip the Collette PIn and key chain and give us water on the bus and one special night of wine with dinner. One glass was not good.

I really enjoyed this trip, I am widowed and was traveling alone, being with a group made the traveling more enjoyable. I met wonderful peoples and we had a great time. The coach was excellent, extremely comfortable and clean. The driver was safe, friendly, and courteous. Our guide was knowledgeable, humorous, and made the trip much more enjoyable as he pointed out sites I would have missed if I had done this on my own. Each of the hotels we stayed at were 4 or 5 star rated. All of my rooms were spacious and well appointed. Wifi was available. The included meals were three-course meals and the main course always gave a choice of meat, chicken, or fish. When we had free time and were eating on our own we always had suggestions for restaurants in the area. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Ireland for the first time!

We got to tour all the places we wanted to see. Northern Ireland was definitely worth seeing. This tour covered a lot of ground and hit all the places on our list. The Cliffs of Moher were the most memorable for us, along with the wonderful Irish music and dancing.

overall, service was excellent! would definitely recommend them to others and will likely take another Collette trip in the future...one area for improvement could be offering more varied menu options (vegetarian, in particular) for the included meals. the tour itself was generally well-balanced in terms of inclusions and free time...the "choice-on-tour" features are a nice way to allow people to see (or do) what they want to see (or do).

most memorable experience would have to be the "jaunting car ride" and lake cruise in Killarney. staying on the grounds of a castle is quite an experience as well.

Our tour guide was not approachable and boarded on being rude. He had “favorites” in our group— a Catholic priest for one — who he deferred to constantly. My husband and I were “put down” when we would dare ask questions during the coach travel. We do not plan to travel with Collette again.
Thank you for traveling with Collette to Ireland. A member of the Guest Relations Team will follow up with you.

From asking questions to the end of the trip everything was well organized, good planning and I was extremely pleased with the whole experience.

Great service like I have had with every trip I have taken with Collette. I had to resort to the emergency number due to flight delays and rebooking, using the answer machine. The message got through and I was meet at the airport after a very long day of airports and planes. I pretty much got a tour of Europe before I got to Dublin. Tour manager was also great. It was a lovely, relaxing trip with plenty of options, down time with hotels close to city centers to go exploring.
-
Tour
Every person that I have talked to who had been to Ireland would mention something they had seen...and I had seen it. The tour through the country side was excellent. The commentary by our guide was informative and explained well why we saw so much “empty” in such a beautiful place with such wonderful people. He obviously knew his history well and conveyed to our group well.

Good, not great. For first time travelers, more pre-trip info could have been helpful. Our tour manager was also good, but not great. She frequently seemed annoyed or put-upon with us. Her insights and trivia were a nice addition to the longer bus rides. Would highly recommend inexperienced travelers let Collette handle the details! Already planning for our next trip!

-
Service
Enjoyed the knowledge supplied by tour guide but some of my interactions with him could have been better. It was hard to get him to understand my concern regarding Collette's ridiculous coach seating protocol of moving daily. My wife had motion problems and she, while against convention wisdom, needed to sit in the very back of the coach to avoid any problems. **** made it difficult for us to accommodate as we had to make daily arrangement with those who he assigned to our seats and trade them our daily assigned seating. The solution was simple: take our seats out of the stupid rotation. But ***** made it hard as we had to have daily negotiations with those coming to our seats. To many days in Dublin and the "Ring of Kerry" tour was a waste of time. Accommodations in Dublin were not up to Collette stands.

I saw more sheep in the week I was in Ireland then I've ever seen in my entire life! LOVED IT!

Tour
VERY well organized and put together. PERFECT amount of free time. One suggestion would be the very last night at CabraCastle. In the morning, some people have to get up much earlier then others and it would have been nice to room those people AWAY from the people who didn't have to get as early. Even though I didn't have to get up until 5AM, I was awoken at 3:30AM because they were rooming RIGHT ABOVE ME and when they move and walk down the stars, the ENTIRE building gets woken up because the noise travels QUITE EASILY in those buildings. That was quite frustrating. I am not a real deep sleeper and would have appreciated not being roomed RIGHT UNDER people that had to get up much earlier then I Another suggestion I have is to provide more time in Kilkenny. I'm SO GLAD we stopped there though because not all tour companies do. I did the old ROUND TOWER at St. Candice's Cathedral and I LOVED it. There are only TWO in the ENTIRE WORLD that are still climbable and this was one of them. ***** had it on her suggestion sheet and I'm SO THANKFUL she did! I had just enough time to get there and climb and had the BEST VIEW OF KILKENNY!! Now as much as I LOVED that, my most memorable experience happened the VERY first night at the welcome dinner. After the show, the Irish dancer got off stage to get volunteers to dance with her. Well I always wanted to Irish dance. She was a professional who has danced in RIVERDANCE and I got to dance with her. CLEARLY my most memorable experience. I was moved so much that I have decided to take up Irish dancing classes here in my home town. I absolutely LOVE the energy of that dance!! Also, Riverdance will be in my town of Colorado Springs, CO this March for their world tour and I am going for my birthday! I'm super excited!

Every detail of the trip went so well. My husband and I are very tall and we asked if we could get isle seats and we were very comfortable on airplanes. We were also very impressed with our tour guide, Dylan, who even though he had 42 people to please on this trip, he did exactly that. He got to know us well on the trip and did his best to find us a beautiful cemetery even though that event was not scheduled. It was an amazing experience.

The cost was reasonable. We appreciated the "Free Airfare" option. One of the best tours was the Cliffs of Moher. A couple times the "Shopping trips" were a little too lengthy. There wasn't a lot to see or do if you weren't shopping. Our tour director was very knowledgeable of the country but sometimes a little uncooperative and rude.

Our trip was great, starting with the limousine service, arranged by Collette, that picked us up at our house and delivered us to the airport then brought us home upon our return. In Ireland we saw and did more than we expected because of our terrific Tour Manager, Molly McGinnis, she was amazing. Molly is so knowledgeable about Ireland and it’s people, places and culture that she made our trip fun and to good to be true. Thanks Collette and thank you Molly.

Ireland is beautiful, we saw The Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle with its famous Stone, the Waterford Crystal factory and watched items being made.

The trip was amazing. The tour manager (Mary) did an excellent job. She and all the local guides that we had were very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and all the places that we visited. The only reason I didn't rate the trip 5 stars is I would have preferred more time at the sights, such as the Cliffs of Moher, and less time shopping in the Galway on that particular day of the trip. Yes, my wife and I would recommend Collette Tours to our friends and family. And, in the future if we take another trip like this we would use Collette.
-
Tour
The Cliffs of Moher and the drive around the Rings of Kerry were my favorite parts of the trip. Seeing all of the beautiful country side. That is exactly why I chose to go to Ireland and why I chose the Shades of Ireland Tour for my wife and me. The castles that we visited were beautiful. The time we spent in Waterford was great as well.

Granville Hotel in Waterford Killarney Hotel in Killarney Great tour guide, colette is so well informed about history of the Island, it rolled off her tongue. She is also an incredible manager, keeping 53 people happy and secure. I liked the last restaurant in Dublin. I didn't need to visit a 2nd beer brewery. I would loved to have visited Dingle, and the Avoca Wool Mills.
-
Tour
The Granville Hotel in Waterford was exquisite, especially with the crystal chandeliers everywhere throughout the hotel and dining room. I love Killarney, could spend another night or two there and would enjoy seeing more of that area in Ireland. Everyone loved the boat ride in Ross Park on the Lake to the castle. When we landed on the small intimate Island with the old castle where monks once lived and wrote, we saw many, many deer. They had no fear of us. We took lots of great pictures of them.

Love the farm with the sheep dog demo, really informed personal at the farm and would talk to you and explain working with dogs and different commands. Couldn't believe the climate and plant life, almost tropical. Had to laugh when I ask one of the young people at a stop how cold it got, he replied really cold 0 C in Jan.

The trip helped me connect to me Irish roots , was so informative. *personal details removed by Feefo* was just the best tour guide with his special sense of humor and not getting rattled by anything. We even couldn't do Ring of Kerry because of a HUGE 100 mile bike ride so we did the Dingle Peninsula. Which was perfect for me as I had done the Ring once before! We had clouds and slight rain almost the whole trip but it didn't dampen our spirits at all. It seemed to clear when we wanted the photos! There is a reason it is GREEN! And it made the Irish coffees even better on a cool day! We made new friends! I want to go back already!

The trip did not live up to the description of "taking a tour through history." Some of the included "tours" were being handed a map by the tour guide on the bus who oriented you to where you were in the city. Out of the way stops were made at "authentic shops" taking hours away from the time in cities that were listed as part of the tour; even resulting in our tour guide rushing a local tour guide to cut the tour short so we were not late for dinner. Listed as an activity level 3, there was very little walking actually included even with opting for the walking tours. Our previous experience with Collette was great, this was a huge disappointment.

Ireland: Forever a Beautiful Memory

Service
Ireland was magnificent, as it unfolded on the tour organized and delivered by Collette. The pace, hotels ( with one exception) , food, tour director, and activities were super. *Personal details removed by Feefo* was outstanding. There were many highlights: Killarney, Kilkenny, Cabra Castle, dairy farm visit, and dozens of other little moments, made the trip fantastic.

The information provided prior to the tour was very good. Tour was very well organized ( schedules ,maps, etc) Driver was exceptionally good. Local guides were knowledgeable . I would suggest that more local guides be involved. Transfers to and from the airport were speedy and efficient. Accommodations were centrally well located. Offering choice of restaurants is a go option.

Giant's Causeway, Derry I would suggest more time ,opportunity to visit in Belfast. The murals are spectacular, however sitting in the bus offered little opportunity to appreciate the history. There was too much "shopping time"...

More touring of both Dublin and Belfast with local guides in both cities. More time was given to souvenir shopping than the history of these cities! Rather than have to choose between 2 different tours on a given day, time should be made to allow us to do both.

Not enough time spent talking about history if Dublin and Belfast. Too much time spent souvenir shopping Just saw that you rated my experience as 4.3. This is incorrect. It was no more than 3. Having said that the tour guide was professionsl

I thought the tour was well organized. It made sure to hit all the highlights of the country. The tour guide was obviously well versed in the history of the country, was helpful and approachable. The hotels used by Collette Vacations are top notch. Customer service agents when contacted are helpful and polite. Excursions are well planned. The pace of this particular trip was challenging, especially if you aren't an early riser, but certainly manageable.

This tour through Ireland was well planned and organized. it made sure to cover the major highlights of the country. Most memorable was the Cliffs of Moher (we hit it on a sunny day!). All accommodations were top notch, excellent hotels. It was especially enjoyable to be able to spend St. Patricks Day in Ireland and share in the locals enthusiasm for their beautiful country.

My first large group tour and I very much enjoyed it. Didn't love being 1 of 44 people. But I did really like that our tour manager, Jennifer, gave us a good amount of 'free' time, so I didn't feel 'herded' from one place to the other. The Medieval Banquet was surprisingly a highlight for me -- could have been really cheesy, but was fun and the food was the best I had in Ireland!

This trip was my wife's idea. She has always wanted to visit Ireland. Truthfully, I'm not sure who had more fun. Our tour guide shared a lot of history as we visited all the beautiful places. I've never learned so much in such a short time. I highly recommend a visit to Ireland and I highly recommend you do it with Collette.

Staff members are very accommodating and answer all questions patiently. When I phoned to ask about hair dryers, the agent took time to check each hotel. I would travel with Collette again. My only regret is that they do not seem to offer small group (fewer than 20 people) tours. An included list of films to see and books to read before departure would be helpful. The website is to involved and cumbersome.

Ireland is lovely with friendly people. The food was tremendous. Visiting the Giant's Causeway and Cliffs of Mohr are unforgettable experiences. The inclusion of Neolithic tombs would have been a bonus.

Tour guide was excellent. His knowledge of Ireland and Irish history was outstanding. I did not like the visit to the dairy farm and whiskey manufacturer.They were unnecessary. I would much rather have visited an historic site. I sometimes felt that we were brought to places just to shop rather then see interesting sites.

Cliffs of Mohr was my favorite. The only thing I would've liked to have had added was when we were let off the bus for time on our own instructions were given to quickly. Many choices were given of places to eat and visit but by the time we exited we couldn't remember which way they were or the names of them.

The service was fine in the US. We had problems when we got to Dublin a day early. The driver was not there and we had to wait and had a problem finding him when he did arrive. He was in a great hurry and ran off with our luggage and we had to figure out where he went. He finally came back to find us. He was very good after all of that, but it was a hard start.

The hotel in Limerick was not good!! The food and service was awful. Too often we were driven to a town and handed a map and told what time to be back at the bus. Should have been more actual "tours." NOT what I expected.

Gogarty's in Dublin; that's one of the two reasons I was there; pub music St. patricks; Gaelic Roots phenomenal; Moriarity's excellent; Ring of Kerry excellent; visiting the Molanna farm-I want to go back; fascinating; the "jaunt" in the Park-excellent; King John's Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Waterford Crystal, Tullamore DEW all great; Medievel Banquet and castle, Cabra Castle were excellent. I rode a horse near Cabra-yeah; The boat ride was NOT a sailing and the motorman was deficient-the only downfall of the trip. Killarney, Killkeney, Blarney are worth a more extended stay.

Only downside was the change of planes in Paris. CDG airport wasn't easy to navigate. (Could be if you're there weekly!) Also plane did not arrive in time to be met and brought to Dublin hotel by Collette rep. Called Collette and was told to take cab. (tour mngr.) was at hotel and and reimbursed cab fare (not tip).

Tour was great. Would have liked more time in Dublin! Maybe a day to map out the places of interest for everyone. Did a couple on my own and wasn't disappointed. How could anyone not like Moriaty's!

I wish we had some information on how to work the plumbing and the electricity. We slept all night with the lights on one night and we had ice cubes and. boiling water for showers. We needed help and called the front desk. They helped it was frustrating. The handicapped help was great at the airport. We could have never found our way at the air port. Delta was problems/ a 3 hour delay both from Alantia to Dublin and coming home🐶It seems one of the engines would not start and we were on the Tarmac for over three hours

Tour
Titanic was fabulous. We needed about three hours there. Loved the Cabra castle. Not enough time at the Blarney Stone. We didn't get to kiss the stone--the line was 1 1/2 hour long and our couch was leaving in 45 minutes. Tom our driver was fsntastic. A great fellow- very helpful and kind. He needs a raise. Our tour guide was great too. She sure knows her history. Our group of 37 people were wonderful . Weather was fine- rain didn't effect us at all.

I would recommend Collette to other people. In fact I already have. I would go through Collette again, but I think that I would like a smaller group. (15 to 25). Collette was very good about letting me know what I needed to do before the trip and kept me informed up until the time of the trip. There is nothing that I would suggest to be done better.
-
Tour
The visit at the farm was one of my favorites. The man and wife were so kind and hospitable. I loved the little room he took us into and told his story about himself as a young man and his life experiences. I loved the Cliffs of Mohr. They were beautiful. When I first decided that I wanted to go to Ireland, the Cliffs were what I had in mind to see. The tours were all great. All the hotels we stayed at were simply wonderful. I really liked my room at the castle on the last night. I could have stayed there a few nights. It would be a great place to take walks and enjoy the country. It was my favorite hotel room. The Waterford crystal tour was very interesting. I enjoyed seeing the product being made from beginning to end. The whole experience in Ireland from day one was fantastic and I met a lot of really great and fun people. It was an experience of a lifetime.

I have absolutely NO complaints about Collette or the tour. It was a wonderful trip/experience. I think the best part about the trip was our tour manager Michael Ohge. He was a wealth of information. My only complaint is that there is so much to see but never enough time to really see all you want. You might be given two hours at a location which seems like alot but really isn't. I think my highlight was staying the night at Cabra Castle. Unfortunately you arrive mid afternoon and because of our flight home had to leave at 4:45 a.m. But, all in all a wonderful trip.
