Brendan offers local “concierges†for group travel
Brendan Vacations now has 13 “Locally Hosted Itinerary” vacations that include the notion of a “personal concierge” everywhere who knows the best sights, places to dine and ways to beat the crowds, among other tips.
The trips give travelers the “freedom to create your own pace and choose your own sights with the added bonus of a local host who is available to advise and assist you in every possible way,” the tour group says.
Brendan offers a choice of hotel standards, and transfer and sightseeing options in major cities, allowing the flexibility to choose a program that suits individual paces and preferences. Brendan has 13 Locally Hosted Itineraries, including a ten-day trip to Rome, Florence and Venice.
The later is a “hop on, hop off” concept with nine stops.
Travelers decide which sighs they want to view from the coach and what they want to personally visit (entrance fees are not included). There’s an English-speaking guide on the coach to answer questions.
There’s a daily breakfast and services of a local guide in Rome, Florence and Venice.
Brendan Vacations, the Ireland Specialist, is a well-known US tour operator offering a wide selection of Escorted, Independent, Locally Hosted and Group travel options.
Established in 1969, its portfolio now includes over 800 packages and 10,000 hotels in Ireland, the UK, Europe, Egypt, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji, USA, Canada, Mexico, South and Central America.
