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.
The people were friendly, the country landscape is varied and beautiful. Our tour guide and bus drivers were awesome! Hotels were friendly and so inviting! Loved the towns and history!

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.
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.
