I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.
The northern nooks and regal Republic – see it all on this nine-day adventure on both sides of the Irish border. Travel through green pastures, vast lakes, striking cliff faces by day, and by night, head straight to the pub for a Guinness (or two). Visit medieval castles and ancient sites filled with folklore and marvel at the views of Ireland's rugged coastline, including the Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher and the Giant's Causeway. While exploring Belfast, Dublin, Derry and Galway, don't forget to gather your travel crew for some pub grub and live music to cap off a trip that hits all the hotspots.
This tour was my first one internationally. I loved it. We spent alot of time on the bus and moving from hotel to hotel for 9 days. 1300 miles. It was alot with 46 people in one space. One person came on sick and everyone else got it. Despite that, the excursions were outstanding. The culture is amazing and the weather was phenomenal, which we found out was very unusual.
Our Ireland trip was amazing, thanks to our phenomenal travel director, and our expert driver. enthusiasm and knowledge made every moment special, with fantastic suggestions for free time that led us to charming local spots and unforgettable experiences. skillful driving ensured we traveled safely and punctually, navigating the scenic routes with ease. The country itself is breathtaking with lush green landscapes stretch endlessly, from rolling hills to dramatic cliffs, the Atlantic Ocean views along the coast are simply awe-inspiring, and the enchanting drive through Killarney National Park, where the forest’s misty, towering trees and serene lakes felt like stepping into a fairytale. This tour was a perfect blend of Ireland’s natural beauty and a top-notch team. I can’t recommend it enough!

The accommodations were good and every effort was made to provide handicapped accessibility for my husband.
The Irish Experience was a wonderful trip around Ireland and into Northern Ireland. The tour director and bus driver were excellent pointing out the wonderful sights and Irish folklore and getting to our destinations on time and ahead of the crowds at Blarney Castle and the Ring of Kerry.
