At least in years to come you'll remember that bee sting on your butt and laugh😅😅
Mind you,that's one heck of a souvenir 😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes! It does make for quite the story to tell and is fun to look back on!
Love this! I did the London Paria Rome trip with only 3 days in London. Hope to do this trip soon!
I hope you are able to as well!! I feel like it was such an amazing trip to get to see as much as possible in the UK +Ireland within 3 weeks!
So excited for you! 😊 Ireland, and Scottland are my dream places to go.
Thank you!! I am grateful I got to go on this trip! It truly was so amazing and we got to see so much! I hope you are able to get out there one day soon!
@@kristen_clark_ Hi kristen im planning a trip to Ireland in aug 2024 but have done Scotland extensively last year in aug. can you give me an honest answer on how different Scotland is from Ireland ? or are they quite similar in landscape.
I did London & Scotland Escape in October 2023 and I had the same tour director as you! Loved Mark!
Mark was fantastic! He even bought me a beer one night! Glad to hear you had a wonderful trip!
I did London & Scotland with EF in May 2022!! I still haven't been to Ireland yet! Im also going to Australia in 2024 with them too! Also who was your tour director in London?
I really want to do EF's Australia and New Zealand over New Year's sometime soon! And our tour director was Mark, he was fantastic!!
@@kristen_clark_ I had Mark to!
im going on this trip in a couple weeks and im really excited! Who was your TD?
I had Mark as a TD! I loved him, but I haven't met an EF TD that I didn't love and did a fantastic job! I hope you have an amazing trip!
@@kristen_clark_ thank you! I can’t wait. I don’t have Mark but still very excited
Wow, what an exciting trip you took. I'm doing one similar with Trafalger at the end of June . What was the average temperature in all the places?
Honestly it was pretty comparable to US weather, just a bit cooler with more rain!
Thanks for sharing! would love to join a tour like yours…
Hi, just wondering about the flights. Did you have EF ultimate book them for you and what airlines did they end up using? Also about how long was the total travel time? I’ve heard that they sometimes book the longest ones because they’re cheaper so I’m considering booking my own
Honestly the flights were okay but moving forward I will book my own to have shorter and more direct flight routes. None of my EF flights have been terrible but they are also never great, which is common for them. They use all the major airlines American, Delta, United, it just depends on what's cheapest for them when they book!
Curious how light you packed on this trip
Pura vida
Where did you get your green dress at? 😍 11:58
Lulu's! And thank you! I wish I had a steamer though, next time!
Can u give an update on your operated ankle.
My ankle is doing great!! I still have a little bit of pain in my surgery ankle sometimes but it is significantly less and 110% more stable. I have literally half stepped in holes and half stepped off curbs and have been fine😂
If you booked the plus, why were you guys in a hostel?
I responded to a comment thinking it was on a different trip/video, which is my bad! This trip was not the plus version hence the hostels!
Is the hiking on this trip (i.e. in the Scottish Highlands) intense enough to justify buying hiking boots? Lol
No, not at all in my opinion! I did hikes in my Air Force Ones😂 But seriously any decent pair of tennis shoes or athletic sandals are perfect for the hikes!
I want to book this exact trip were the hostels good? Did you feel safe and clean?
I definitely felt safe in all the hostels! All the people you share a room with are people for your EF group, not other random people. Overall they all were very clean, one of them could have been better but still fine for what it was
@@kristen_clark_Hey! I just booked this exact plus trip for late August. How was the food in the UK and were the included meals good?
@@sunnyfebruary13 I should disclose I am not a foodie, however I did really enjoy the food! The included meals were delicious! My favorite meal was oysters in Galway Ireland, they were beating words!
Congratulations on booking, I hope you have a wonderful time! Do you mind if I ask if you used my code to book your trip for $100 off?
@@kristen_clark_ thanks for the reply! I only saw your video after booking and I already heard a referral code for it, sorry!
@@sunnyfebruary13 No worries, I was just curious because our bookings just appear randomly! Safe travels!!
14:08 Your watch must have stopped, because the cannon does not go off every day at 11am. It's called the *One* *O'clock* *Gun* for a reason.😉
16:25 _Arthur's Seat,_ not Author's Seat.
Right and right! My apologies for the mistakes, editing this video genuinely took 40+ hours and by the time I got to the voice over I did it in one take and said good enough!
Thank you for the corrections!
How were hotels for this trip?
Most of the hotels and hostels were perfectly acceptable, nothing glamorous or fancy, but clean rooms in good locations. Our hostel in Edinburgh was not great and kind of dirty, but that is not the normal hostel they use and everyone in our group complained about it in the feedback survey, and so I would be surprised if EF used that hostel again. I hope this helps, honestly this trip was so fast I felt like I really just slept in the rooms and got ready, so a nice bed and good location was all I cared about!
Thank you for your response! I booked the same EF trip and will be going in May!! Hopefully they don’t use the same hostel 🤞🏽 I will keep you updated lol
@@harleenpannu8285 That is so exciting! I loved that trip so much, and what a wonderful way to see the United Kingdom and Ireland!
Do you mind if I ask if you used my ambassador link to receive an extra $100 off your trip? If you didn't you may be able to apply it retroactively!
Fish and chips from most pubs and restaurants are nothing like the ones from a Fish and Chip shop and nowhere near as good. If you ever come back, make sure you try a “chippy” not a pub or restaurant
Thank you for the trip! I loved my time over there and definitely want to come back sometime soon! Maybe I can tack on some extra days on my next Europe trip and try a "chippy"!
