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.

Tour is fast paced but provides a very good overview of many areas of Ireland in a short period of time with lots of history provided as well which we were not expecting, but was very informative and appreciated.
Had such a fun week with an awesome group, trip manager and driver and loved exploring Ireland and seeing all the beauty it has to offer. A great way to see this country and make memories with new people who quickly become friends. Highly recommend!
. We just completed the Shades of Ireland tour a month ago, and I can honestly say it couldn’t have been done any better. Every detail of the trip—from the itinerary and routing to the carefully planned events—was handled flawlessly.
Our tour manager was outstanding. His deep knowledge of Ireland’s history and culture, paired with a great sense of humor, made the entire experience both educational and thoroughly enjoyable. He truly enhanced every aspect of the journey.
What really stood out was how easy they made everything for us. Our luggage was delivered right to our rooms upon arrival at each hotel and picked up again in the morning, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. It’s those thoughtful touches that made a big difference.
The weather was also a pleasant surprise—unseasonably good for that time of year—which only added to an already incredible experience.
We couldn’t be happier with the way this tour was executed. Highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Ireland!

My tour director, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He really made the trip memorable . We covered a lot of ground. , our bus driver, was amazing. The itinerary was great, it’s why I chose this trip.
It was excellent in every way. was the best tour guide. was very nice.
The visit to the farm was so memorable. The bog, learning about animals and it’s fair to say, I will never have a two week old lamb cuddling next to my face!
in Derry was outstanding. His explanation of events and daily life was superb.
This trip provided a comprehensive overview of Ireland that whets one's appetite to know and see more about this beautiful country and its people. The highlights are just that as it is a complicated history and the natural beauty is apparent wherever one travels. The level of activity requires a good deal of walking and the pace is spirited. It meets the high standard of both G Adventures and National Geographic.
