MOP Goes to Scotland 2022

Prime Tours

We had a great time on the NYC trip December 16-19. The accommodations were in a perfect location mid town and the excursions were fun and well timed. The people participating were a friendly group and the tour guide and drivers were professional but also very approachable and personable. We will definitely recommend to others and look at going on another trip in the future. 

Excellent overall experience. We were able to see so much and it was very well organized and planned. Out Prime Tours folks (and out tour guides) were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you for the amazing trip!

2026 OSU Marching Band Family & Friends Ireland

We enjoyed meeting people, the band performances and not having to stress about travel plans or itinerary.  We are specially thankful for the assist with our missed flight to Dublin and setting up the car service.

Breathtaking Amazing Awesome Beautiful - 

Ireland 2026 - I have trouble finding the words to really describe our trip.   It was a trip of a lifetime that I will never forget nor be able to duplicate since the band isn’t going back to Ireland any time soon.   But everything was interesting and informative and incredible - so many unforgettable memories.   Thank you so much.

Was well planned and organized.  Hotels were nice and had good perks like a bar.  Would recommend Prime Tours.

We were impressed by how well organized the tour was for such a large group (150 plus 240 band members) over a holiday week! Thank you!

I really enjoyed the trip. What a great band OSU has and Irish people were so impressed. I was concerned about not knowing anyone on the trip as I was  a “Friend”. However, I made some friends. I met the assistant drum major’s parents on the elevator one day. And I got to meet their son on the day of the last concert. I grew up in his hometown. It made my trip! All sites were wonderful especially Belfast woolen Mill. I think I liked Kilkenny the best and also the sheep herding. Overall - wonderful.

We had a fantastic time on the trip and loved having the ability to interact as much as possible with the band. The one disappointment would be in the lack of communication regarding the Dublin airport on the day of drop off. It would've been nice to have been told that there were very limited food options once you passed through US Customs and that if you wanted to eat at one of the many options in the main food court, you needed to eat prior to passing through customs.  Other than that, it was a great trip.

Absolutely amazing! Knowing they had everything planned and we didn’t have to worry about anything was perfect. This was our first trip out of the states. We were nervous but are now ready to start traveling! Looking forward to possible future trips with Prime Tours!

We recently had the pleasure of traveling with the Ohio State University Marching Band Family and Friends Tour to Ireland in March 2026. The entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From the moment we inquired about the trip, their team was responsive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure every detail was taken care of.

The tour itself was exceptional. Our driver/guide was engaging, professional, and clearly passionate about the area, sharing stories and insights that truly brought each stop to life. The itinerary offered a perfect mix of planned activities and free time, giving us the chance to explore while still feeling organized and at ease. One of the highlights was connecting with other band parents—this experience brought us closer together and made the trip even more meaningful and fun.

We would absolutely recommend Prime Tours to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and enriching travel experience. Thank you again for everything!

2026 OSU Band Family & Friends Ireland Group Air

Being on the Prime Tours Band Family & Friends Ireland tour made traveling overseas and seeing the sights so easy and relaxing. The guides were great to get along with and the bus driver/guides made the trip fun, entertaining and informative. I really appreciated not having to drive on the left hand side of the road. Tickets to events were always at the ready. I loved have grand stand seating for the St. Patrick's Day parade. We had so much fun following the band around and seeing all their performances. The food and lodging worked out great. I loved having four nights in one hotel. The amount of free time worked just fine and I was glad to spend some of it with my band member. Thanks for a great trip!

Fabulous experience. I can't imagine the work that went into this. I appreciate all of you at prime tours for taking such great care of us. I hope to book more in the future.

We had a wonderful trip. The handling of all the logistics of getting to band performances, hotels, and sights made the trip well worth it. I would recommend both Prime Tours and Bartons. Thank you for a great first experience on a group bus trip!

The tour provided us the broadest overview of Ireland possible in the 7 days we were there. Our driver (Branden) and guide (Eunan) were awesome and provided professional service and great insights into the history of Ireland and more.  The Prime Tour staff were always there to support, assist, and ensure everyone was taken care of. The package was well priced for all that was included and aside from the noise issues (train depot) at The Dean Hotel, the trip was a big success.  

Wow!  We had an amazing time traveling to Ireland with The Ohio State University Marching Band.  Everything was so well planned and the staff was always available to answer any questions I had.  Thank you Prime Tours!!  Matt and Amanda

Great experiences and time with the OSUMB.
Eunon and Brendan were outstanding.
The Ashling Hotel had dinner issues and the showers were not good at all, temperature issues and the tubs created slippery conditions.

Trip of a lifetime.  Beautiful memories that our family will have forever.  Kevin and Mac specifically were friendly, patient, and helpful.  The Irish bus guides and drivers were world class specifically for us Antony.  I witnessed my son, Michael,  leave his bus on the last day before joining us at the Cliffs of Moher stop and hug his female Irish bus guide like she was a longtime friend.  The Irish guides were authentic, funny, wise, energetic, hard working, incredible drivers.  The itinerary was incredible.  Seeing so many of the interesting spots combined with access to TBDBITL.  All the leaders fully understood the audience making sure we were comfortable and prepared to maximize each day.  They also were wise to allow the Irish guides take control at times and adjust the schedule when necessary to maximize each day.  In the few minor issues that I witnessed, the leaders handled it with positivity, patience and grace.  Somehow they conjured the best weather possible for the entire week.  Makes me wonder if Prime Tours negotiated with the rain fairies in advance!  We will travel again with Prime Tours. Our family is so incredibly appreciative of your hard work.  Thank You.  

We just did the 8 day tour of Ireland with Prime Tours.  We had an AMAZING experience.  Kevin and Lori were just lovely, very passionate about making sure eveyone was having the absolute best time.  We will travel with Prime again!! 

We had a great trip!   Great hosts!   Trip of a lifetime!

This was a First Class , well organized trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it even if I did not have a child in the band. Of the hotels I liked the Sheraton the best. It was super to see the positive reactions to the OSU band from the locals. I definitely enjoyed shopping in Kilkenney. I will keep your agency in mind for a future trip.

We really enjoyed our trip to Ireland. The best part was not having to worry and just enjoy the time we had. A lot of great places picked for us to see. The staff were great and really helpful. Really enjoyed meeting Jeff from Prime Tours as he was so friendly and helpful.

Great time,great people,great weather and fantastic destination. 

2026 Aloha Adventure: Hawaiian Horizons Tour & Cruise

We had a wonderful time! The trip was well organized with all details taken care of. The resort stay in Honolulu was exceptional. All tour guides were  knowledgeable and engaging. Kevin did a great job of keeping us informed but also very in the background. The ship was great. We had a balcony room and enjoyed the views. Food, drinks, and constant entertainment was good. We had perfect weather everyday, The beauty of Hawaii is almost indescribable. We will always treasure this great adventure which completes our goal of visiting all 50 states. What a way to end!

We had a great time and a beautiful location. 

2026 Aloha Adventure: Hawaiian Horizons Tour & Cruise Group Air

We had a great time!  Wonderful people to work with and travel with.  Will be doing future trips with Prime Tours.  Thank you

My son had a wonderful time in his DC trip!

2025 Blendon DC

2025 Mt. Gilead HS Disney World

What an amazing adventure and a wonderful way to get in the Christmas spirit! The trip was extremely well organized! Prime Tours thinks of everything! The Christmas markets are BEAUTIFUL! And the history all around you is breathtaking! I can't wait for the next Christmas Market Tour! Thank you to everyone at Prime Tours for making this one of my best adventures!

2025 Bavarian Christmas Markets and Rhine River Cruise Group Air

It was a fun trip. Hotels we stayed at were nice.  The Biltmore was fantastic!!! We loved our bus driver Henry! 

2025 Christmas in the Smokies

It was great but wished we could have spent more time at the Biltmore and less at Gatlinburg and then gone directly to the Biltmore instead of going to the hotel. That way we could have spent more time at the Biltmore.  

I had an excellent experience in Germany, exploring the Christmas markets and Rhine river cruise, fantastic itinerary that was well organized, and professionally done with lots of great activities. The entire Prime Tours team was very friendly and knowledgeable. making the entire experience lots of fun and easy. I would definitely recommend them for a fantastic travel experience.

Very nice trip. Everything met my expectations.

Thanks for the experience of the trip of a lifetime.!

I met wonderful people and now have new friends!

Travel can be very stressful but Prime tours took care of us and looked after our needs.

I would recommend Primetours to anyone with the travel 'bug'!

Deb Sexton 

We had a wonderful time. The cruise was relaxing, food was good. Tour guides were informative. Staff was great. Excellent time!

2025 Bavarian Christmas Markets and Rhine River Cruise

The Dolly Stampede was excellent with the horses, camels, etc.  At Christmas time it is great to see the Christmas Story as Jesus's birth.  The food was very good.  The next night was pretty much a repeat of food.  I did not appreciate Santa being the reason for Christmas.  The Titanic was very interesting and sad, but you need to see the whole story.  The Christmas lights were wonderful.   
The Biltmore Dinner was fantastic!  I would have enjoyed the Biltmore Mansion better if I hadn't gotten left behind when I stopped to use the restroom along with several others.  I came out and not one person was there for Bus one.  My husband waited at the bottom of the elevator and we did the walk through together.  Since we weren't with the others, we went out the back door (that was a no no) and walked around to the front in the rain.  On other Prime trips, the one in charge calls off names to assure all are present!   I hope this helps with other trips!  Elaine Calahan

Parts of the trip were amazing.  My issue was with the step on guide, he was very knowledgeable but I had thought we were going to see Holiday Lights. . . . .  We learned more about what Gatlinburg had to offer than seeing any lights.
At the Biltmore - we arrived only to "shop" at one of 2 small stores or eat at one shop.  We were at the Biltmore to see the mansion and to eat dinner.  Another 1 to 2 hours we were out in the cold when it started to sleet.  The shops were not big enough for 50 to 60 people to stand around inside. . . . .
I really wanted to see Tamarac, part of the ride home, because of predicted weather it was deleted from the trip.  When in fact the weather would not have affected the travel home - the weather did not develop for over 24 hours later. . . . .

I had a great time.  Loved the shows and the hotels were very nice.  Just wish we could have spent more time at the Biltmore.  An hour and a half is not enough time to see everything 

We had a great time on this trip!  This group traveled well together and had a lot of fun.  From the Christmas markets to the Alps, we enjoyed all the excursions!  

Had a great time, it was well organized with outstanding accommodations good food lots of interesting activities. I was able to meet some friendly new people also the Prime Tours staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, they were able to answer my questions and take care of any needs I had. I would highly recommend Prime Tours.

We had a great time on the Christmas market tours.  It exceeded our expectation.  Kevin & Laurie were wonderful tour guides.  Very personal.  We would go with them again.  

My child had a great time, but was on information overload. He would have enjoyed a little extra down time or additional time for shopping. He also would have enjoyed some of the other museums besides the ones that were chosen. He said the food options were good choices, but he disliked the Mexican restaurant. He felt like the guides were informative and enjoyable!

2025 Wapakoneta Junior High Washington D.C.

Very organized for lots of kids! Wonderful and informative tour guides who connected with the kids as they gave them heartfelt information at memorials. 

It was an interesting trip.  It was our first bus trip,  except we didn't get the bus.  Everything was wonderful to see. I can see doing more trips like this in our future. 

2025 Brandy's Frankenmuth Christmas

We had such a great experience and enjoyed the activities and tour guides. Brandy is such a sweet person and Lisa was wonderful. 

Thank you for taking Laken to DC. She had so much fun!

This was a 3 day trip with 40 like-minded Ohioans ready to start the Christmas season totally immersed in holiday spirit. I've been to Frankenmuth, Michigan in the past, but I never would have done the metal forging experience (we made Christmas ornaments) or the woolen dryer ball class (we made actual dryer balls) without being on the tour!
Brandy is the moderator of the Ohio Road Trips FB group and is a great supporter of all things Ohio; she also loves to experience travel inside and outside of Ohio. She and our tour guide, Lisa, kept us well informed of what to expect, times to be back on the bus, and generally were the cheerleaders for our experiences.  We loved not having to drive or navigate.
We will definitely be back for more travel experiences.

I had a wonderful time!  Brandy and Lisa were so helpful!  This was my first trip so I wasn't sure what to expect.  I was a solo traveler on this trip and that wasn't an issue.  Everyone was welcoming and I didn't feel like an outsider being on the trip by myself.  I was amazed at how organized the trip was.  That had to take a lot work.  If another trip comes up I am interested in I will not hesitate about going by myself.  
Thank you for all your hard work on this trip!
Mary Persons

We had a wonderful evening of great Italian food and wine for Prime Tour's preview of the upcoming Taste of Italy tour at Giammarco's Italian Restaurant. As usual, Prime Tours had loads of information about the upcoming trip. The food was outstanding. Thank you Prime Tours for offering the opportunity to wine, dine and learn!
The Amos Family

Taste of Italy Tour Preview at Giammarco's RSVP

Thank you for giving our kids memories for a life time…. And for getting them there and back safely! 

2025 Elgin DC

Even with the government shut down, our tour guide (Mac) and Prime Tours did a great job giving us a tour of our Nation's Capital.  It was so valuable to have Mac on our bus for the duration of the trip to give background knowledge and help the students understand what we were seeing and why.
