Enchanting Ireland

Great itinerary, tours and pub stops. Superb hotels, with the exception of the Kilkenny location. This hotel did not have any USB ports for charging phones or other devices. Only other suggestion is to be very clear about kissing the Blarney Stone: this is not a likely successful project for anyone who has had back or neck surgery. I was concerned about the climb up the stairs; this is slow enough, with good handholds, that it was not too challenging.

For the most part the itinerary was excellent. The reason I ranked the itinerary as good was one of the stops was Ocean side where we learned about Sea Weed??? With all of the beautiful/historical things to see, why stop and learn about sea weed with a sea weed tasting. On a side note our tour guide and Emmitt our coach driver were excellent. told us they had never worked together before. It was hard to believe has they appeared to be long time friends. Both were extremely personable and helpful and in many cases fed each other. Both has quick wits which made everyone enjoy the trip even more. We (my wife and daughter) stayed an extra week and gave us tips on where to visit. did the same and even gave me tips on driving in Ireland. (I am from the US where the roads are wider and we drive on the opposite side of the road.) Great stuff!!

The Enchanting Ireland trip was a great family vacation filled with amazing sites and good food. Our guide was very informative and did everything to make the trip enjoyable. We had great weather during the trip being able to get perfect views of the cliffs of Moher and enjoying all the sites the tour had to offer. It was a fast paced trip with lots of activities involved in a short period of time, which I was completely fine with. For several of the hotels we were able to be close enough to the city to be able to stroll around after events and enjoy the city center, while others we were a bit too far away to walk. The extra excursions made the trip even better and allowed for a true taste of Ireland and meeting the locals. Some of the best extra excursions were enjoying the live Irish music and enjoying the time at a local small pub.

excellent sites to visit
