Dublin Walking Trips

This trip fulfilled a long-time wish to visit Ireland. Several Irish relatives emigrated thru Cork to the U.S. in the 1840’s to escape the Potato Famine.. Cork was one of the stops on our tour- I felt a connection while there and plan to work together with a cousin on genealogy research for the Perry family. This trip was beautifully planned and executed. A special shout out to our Tour Director, *personal info removed by Feefo* One suggestion- consider accessibility when selecting lodging, transportation, and entering /exiting buildings, and stairwells.

It was very well planned with a variety of activities and optional add ons. *personal info removed by Feefo* our host, was a wealth of information. Our driver, *personal info removed by Feefo*, was awesome!

4.5 stars, loved our tour guide , he was so nice and caring. He made sure all of his passengers were safe and having fun. Gave great recs for people who weren't attending any of the optional experiences. I do wish we explored Dublin more, but I signed up for a short trip, so it was expected.

This was a dream trip for me, an 80 year old Grammy, traveling with my daughter and granddaughter. Having been to Ireland 5 times prior, but this was my first tour, a gift from my sister for my 80th birthday, and totally planned before I had a chance to have any input. I was a little skeptical about how I would enjoy it, BUT, I was pleasantly surprised! This trip was very well planned. It included a variety of authentic experiences that 3 generations of my family, enjoyed thoroughly. I don't recall a single negative experience on this trip. couldn't have been a more excellent guide! She made every person on the bus feel welcome. She is a warm sweet person, and knowledgeable about every faucet of Irish culture. The information she presented each day was both interesting and well expressed. I was particularly impressed at how she handled people who were late getting on the bus. She greeted them with a smile, and not once did she make any of them feel admonished! She also has the voice of an angel! To say is an extremely skilled driver is a gross understatement!!! He effortlessly drove around the twists and turns of those tiny Irish roads in that big bus!!! He is truly a Superdriver!!! Each day he greeted us with a kind word and a beautiful welcoming smile as we boarded. He had a way about him that made me fell like I was the most special person on the bus!!! and are a winning team, for sure!

In the short period of time that we had to spend in Ireland, I think that we saw the highlights. The tour guide, was wonderful and well informed. The bus driver, was skilled and great at his job. It was a wonderful trip and a great experience in a beautiful country! The accommodations were good and every effort was made to provide handicapped accessibility for my husband.

Great trip Great travel director Great bus driver Good variety of activities included and optional Hotels good Included meals good Seat rotation on bus very helpful and fair Travel Director was incredibly knowledgeable about a Wide range of subjects relating to Ireland She was able to quickly arrange alternative Sites to visit when weather interfered with scheduled activities for example trip to Aran Islands was cancelled because of weather didn’t overwhelm us with too much Information at once, Instead she would give us some and tell us she would return to subject the next day and she would!! I was victim of a pickpocket in Dublin, first day of trip and lost everything including passport accompanied me to police station. Made police report. Helped me cancel credit cards. Get passport photos and offered a lot of emotional support My travel partner and I are very grateful Bus driver was wonderful too as were other tour participants We were able to continue with the tour without difficulty Pace of trip was a little hurried for us We like to read plaques I think Insight and travel industry should work with Dublin police to stop petty crime Pickpocket thief is apparently well known to law enforcement Posted warnings about pickpockets in high risk areas might help The trauma, inconvenience and expense of this event have been significant. As I write this I am in Seattle awaiting a regular passport….a six hour process and a 5 hour drive from my home in Portland.
