| Limerick, Ireland |
I've taken the eight hour plane ride to the United Kingdom once. I went on an Educational Tour with my college. My history professor told me and my friend Sarah about an Ireland, England, and Wales tour he would be taking in the Spring. Fees: If you haven't taken a trip with EF tours there is a sign up fee of 90 dollars. Make sure to check that you will not want payment taking out in installments or you'll end up having to make a three hour phone all straightening it up.
The additional fees are insurance (about 1000) and the tour fee which ranges 2000-4000 (as I have seen). This is very reasonable for everything it includes.
Transportation:
All transportation is included. This means no rushing to find a cab at the airport, no waiting for a bus to take you back to your hotel. We switched busses frequently. Tipping was included since I paid through my school (the students who paid out of pocket had to pay 100 for tipping). The buses were spacious and comfortable because we were not traveling with other tours. Transportation is o e of the best features of the tour. There is a microphone that your guide speaks through while your driver easily guide how passenger to places he knows like the back of his hand. The guide switches between telling stories and history of the places you pass through. They will often give frequent announcements to where you are and they do a lot to keep passengers excited about the trip.

Food:
Breakfast and most dinners. Since we were out all day, finding lunch out in the city was no problem. Breakfast was cold cereals and croissants. We were forbidden from touching the hot parts of the breakfast because that wasn't covered by EF tours. Dinners have sparse options. Two meal choices and two dessert choices might be served in the hotel. We had dinner this way three or four times. We had two meals in restaurants with no choice unless you are a vegetarian. Like, in London, we had fish and chips and profiteroles (cream puffs)
