The recent tour my sister and l did with Brenda was most dissapointing. This was a tour of Ireland and Scotland.
The tour had not been properly resurched, this was vey obvious, from the number of places closed and even sites that could not be found!
We lost count of the number of times we drove aimlessly around in circles looking for one place or another. Hadrians Wall could not be found, amazing!
All in all a very bad experience,
Please Brenda do some resurch if you intend to repeat this tour, or you will have twelve more dissapointed people next year.

Reply to Lois review.
Lois and her sister Ruth previous to the Ireland Scotland Tour had done UK tour twice with Third Age Tours. All 12 clients on this Ireland/Scotland tour have previously done my UK Tour plus other tours with Third Age Tours, some to Turkey or Vietnam. All 12 people knew the Ire/Scot was an inauguration tour. The two (2) places closed was the Museum in Balatar Scotland, which was boarded up and padlocked - ten days prior to our visit it was burnt to the ground. Lois TWICE asked "Can we go in and see?", it was a burnt out wreck and boarded up for safety. The second place that was closed and fenced off was The Hotel in Rosslare. All our rooms including a full cooked breakfast was fully paid for, it was a huge shock to me to be fenced off, but it had gone into liquidation. We did have accommodation that night and did go to a really nice restaurant. These two closures were totally out of the hands of Third Age Tours. I would also like to say, I did not have 12 disappointed people on the tour in fact I have one person that has re-booked to return in 2016 as she enjoyed it so much. I have seven people that were on this tour that were outraged that Lois has spoken for them, a couple of them said "How dare she speak for me". The same seven people were totally disgusted at both the sisters behaviour on this tour.
On Saturday I received a Christmas card from people that were on the Ire/Scot tour - it said "A BIG THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT TRIP".

Brenda, in response to your reply to my review.First of all l did not say l was speaking for anyone on the trip, apart from my sister. I will say that at least nine people told me they were very dissapointed with things, one saying it had put him off Tours for life! If these same people have had a change of heart since, well good luck! I certainly have not, l am being honest, not nasty.
Also at Balatar, l did not ask to go in to a burnt out wreck, l just was amazed you had not checked, the place had been burnt out for quite some time and the guide had left a month ago!Yet you still took us there.As for disgusting behavour, well you would be an expert on that, so l will say no more.
