点评:Rachel put together an absolutely life changing tour for us! Getting eight people (and a lot of luggage) to six different spots in Western Ireland is no small task and we couldn't have done it without her! Rachel was consistently organized, cheerful, and knowledgable. She crafted an itinerary that allowed all of us to experience what we most wanted to see in Ireland. We started in Westport, then went to Achill Island, Newport, Ballina, Enniscrone, and finished in Galway. Rachel took care of everything from meeting us at the airport to arranging accommodations to finding the pubs with the best live music in every town.
Her spacious van and local knowledge meant we were able to access places and experiences we never would have found on our own. Top highlights were the sheepdog demonstration, swimming in Keem Bay, hiking to Downpatrick Head, and Elizabeth's beautiful B&B on Achill. Rachel made sure we stopped at the best local businesses from bakeries to bookstores. As she got to know our group over the week, she tailored the itinerary to give us the unique experiences we'd most enjoy.
A big thank you as well to Rachel's mom, Marjorie, for opening her home for the baking lesson and delicious scones! She even found a gluten-free scone recipe to accommodate someone in our group who has an intolerance. Rachel also did a great job finding gluten-friendly restaurants. She was always mindful of the different needs of members of the group and offered low-key alternatives to some of the more physically challenging hikes.
Especially if you're traveling with a big group or want to see places off the beaten path, Rachel is essential (navigating the twisty back roads of rural Mayo is no small feat but Rachel handled it all with expert calm). My family will never forget what an amazing trip she planned for us.
翻译:Rachel 为我们安排了一次绝对改变人生的旅程!带八个人(以及一大堆行李)去爱尔兰西部的六个不同景点可不是件容易的事,没有她我们根本做不到!Rachel 总是井井有条、热情开朗、知识渊博。她精心安排的行程,让我们每个人都体验到了在爱尔兰最想去的地方。我们从韦斯特波特出发,然后去了阿基尔岛、纽波特、巴利纳、恩尼斯克罗恩,最后到达了戈尔韦。Rachel 为我们安排了一切,从机场接机到安排住宿,再到在每个城镇寻找现场音乐最棒的酒吧。
她宽敞的面包车和对当地的了解,让我们得以探索和体验那些我们自己永远无法找到的地方。最精彩的体验包括牧羊犬表演、在基姆湾游泳、徒步前往唐帕特里克角,以及伊丽莎白在阿基尔岛上美丽的民宿。Rachel 确保我们在当地最好的商店停留,从面包店到书店。经过一周的了解,她为我们量身定制了行程,力求为我们提供最独特的体验。
非常感谢Rachel的妈妈Marjorie,她慷慨解囊,让我们有机会学习烘焙,并享用美味的司康饼!她甚至找到了无麸质司康饼的食谱,方便我们团队中一位麸质不耐受的人享用。Rachel还帮我们找到了一些不含麸质的餐厅,做得非常出色。她总是能体会到团队成员的不同需求,并为一些更具体力挑战的徒步路线提供了一些低调的替代方案。
尤其是如果您与一大群人一起旅行,或者想探索人迹罕至的地方,Rachel是不可或缺的伙伴(在梅奥郡乡村蜿蜒的小路上穿梭并非易事,但Rachel却能以专业的沉着应对)。我的家人永远不会忘记她为我们规划的精彩旅程。
