For my first trip to Ireland, it was the perfect tour to see so much of this beautiful country. Our accommodations were first class, the meals included were delicious, along with all of the excursions planned. Everything was excellent!
Thank you! It was a dream come true.
We did go 2 days early to Dublin before the tour and stayed an extra day in Dublin at the end. That was a perfect way to see and do more of Dublin and give us time on our own to explore.

Enjoyed this trip and all the optional choices. Weather couldn't have been better. Food was good. Free time and tour experiences were nicely balanced.
Tour Guide and Bus Driver was great. I was traveling solo and felt safe.
The one thing that could have gone better, was accommodations. The Leonardo Hotel in Cardiff and Liverpool was not a good experience. The room was not clean, carpet, window treatments and furniture was old and in bad repair.
