My wife and I were blessed to have a wonderful tour guide who shared his expansive knowledge of Ireland. He shared personal stories, read poems and sang to our group all along our journey. We also had a terrific driver who was super experienced and professional. We felt extremely safe with him behind the wheel. All things considered, it was a near perfect trip.

Many cities and sights covered in the 10 days! Excellent and experienced tour guide. Well worth it. All hotels are high quality. The one suggestion would be to select optional activities carefully. Whatever you choose will be added on to an already packed day. If you are looking for time to explore on your own or to enjoy the quality hotels you are paying for, it may be wise to pass on some of the extra optional activities.

Have you never heard of an Irish half-hour? It can stretch for days, and that's what you'll experience on this exciting 10-day guided road trip along the Antrim Coast, through the Wild Atlantic Way.
Starting at the medieval Rock of Cashel and continuing to the food hub of Co. Cork, Kinsale, we kick off our this ultimate tour with the best of the best. From there, we leave the rebel county and venture into the wooded hills of Killarney National Park. Take in sights like Moll's Gap and tour towering castles before hitting the town with the greatest 'craic' (fun)—Dingle! Stop by Foxy John's Hardware store, now serving creamy pints of Guinness, or try some fresh local catch at the award-winning Fish Box.
Visit Ireland's most famous spot—the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher—before heading to bohemian Galway to dance in the streets, and then explore the Aran Islands. Heading north, you'll arrive in Co. Donegal, one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Spend an evening in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area), where you'll be speaking a "cúpla focal" (a few words of Gaelic) in no time. From there, it's on to Derry, the last walled city built in Europe. Walk in the footsteps of Fionn McCool at the Giant’s Causeway, where a volcanic eruption created this Wonder of the World 60 million years ago. And look—could that be Jon Snow in the 'dark hedges'? We'll head to the iconic beech trees to find out.
Then, it's full steam ahead to The Titanic Experience in Belfast, an award-winning interactive journey about the world’s most tragic ship. Finally, we end with a visit to the ancient Newgrange before returning to Ireland's big smoke, Dublin.
Along the way, between the heritage and culture, there’ll be ceol agus craic (music and fun), Red Snapper and John Dory, stout and uisce beatha (whiskey), and an epic road trip you’ll never forget.

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.
It was a great experience. I would’ve never seen any of the sites on my own that we saw on the bus if we go again, I know the sites I want to spend more time.
