Jon N. | Traveled in July
I enjoyed the tour very much I would definitely use Colette again. Dennis and Mike were absolutely wonderful as our coach driver and tour guide and would highly recommend them to my friends. Wish I was still there watching the British Open
Barbara L. | Traveled in June
Two weeks covered all over Ireland. There were no disappointments at any time. Way too many highlights to name just one favorite. However Dingle is beautiful. Loved the pubs in Dublin (Palace Bar, Bowe's). Seeing the Peace Wall in Belfast and hearing firsthand the history of The Troubles was eye opening. This was our 2nd trip to Ireland with Collette and would do so again.

First I want to congratulate our tour guide Aiden Craig. He was fantastic and one of the best we have ever had. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant and he provided so much insight to the history and culture of Ireland. He was not only knowledgeable but very pleasant and accommodating. We could not have had a bettter guide. I would also like to commend our bus drivers Michael. He was very pleasant and professional as well. I don’t know how to contact him but I would appreciate it if you would pass T my thanks to him. The one and only negative comment I have concerns the hotel in Dingle. There were no elevators or porters to help with the luggage. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will certainly travel with Colette again.Plainview

The overall tour exceeded our expectations. With the exception of the Dingle Penisula, the hotels were excellent. We especially enjoyed our tour guide Aiden Carrig. He was outstanding. We learned so much about the history of Ireland. He has a great sense of humor & made the trip enjoyable. He was also very attentive to all the travelers, addressing any issues or concerns. The bus driver, Mike, was also excellent. He was courteous & friendly & we felt very safe with his driving skills.

It was a wonderful experience for seeing all that Ireland has to offer. My favorite things were the countryside and seeing the lots of green, sheep and rocks. Learning about the history of Ireland and seeing and experiencing different things along the way.
Mark M. | Traveled in October
what a lovely tour of the Emersld Isle. Good balance of activities and open time left for discovery on our own. Simon Kelly was a great tour guide with great commentary and insight into the history of Ireland. He made the bus rides so enjoyable. For us the highlight was the pub experience at Stoneyford with a hurling demonstration and a great music session
