What's Included
Customer Reviews
Nice overview of the Republic of Ireland. Covers a lot of ground in a short time.
You drive by most places listed on brochure. It is worded like you will be stopping but you just ride by. There are stops along the way. The breakfasts they say are included in your package are the breakfast everyone at hotel gets. Dinners are a choice of 3 things that they choose. The bus air conditioning broke during the IrelandUK HEATWAVE. The company didn’t fix it or get another bus. People were dizzy. Not recommending at all

The itinerary gave a real feel for the country and the people
I already sent in a survey for this tour
Brilliant tour, covered so much ground in a short time. Great hotels in good central locations Good meals and service. A lot of time on bus driving a bit tiring. An extra day in Galway would have been great to rest and enjoy this city. Best arrive early to see Dublin and rest before tour starts. Inspite of the cold, windy and wet weather, was an enjoyable trip.
