I really enjoyed this trip! I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland, but was overwhelmed with the idea of booking and planning it myself so this was the best option for me. The free time add on’s were well thought out and the amount of fun activities we squeezed into the week were the best. Even though it was only 8 days it didn’t feel rushed, or like it was too long! I have no regrets about booking this and would do it again in a heart beat!
Fast paced and jam packed - which is perfect for me. I love how much I got to see in so little time. was an amazing TM who was funny and knowledgable. was the bets driver I could've asked for.
and were fabulous. Had a blast!
I always dreamed of traveling to Ireland and I’m so glad I did it with Contiki. Every single day was incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better itinerary. The highlights of the trip were the e Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Giants Causeways and the Sheep Farm. Our Trip manager Evie and driver Barney were wonderful! I brought my friend with me and she also had a great time. We also made some incredible friends ☺️ highly recommend this trip!
This was my very first Contiki trip. I had heard a lot of great things from my friend who recommended Contiki to me, and it very much lived up to the expectations. Our trip Manager contacted us nice and early to give us a heads up on all the things that would be happening on our trip. Our driver was extraordinary, I still dont understand how he was able to maneuver the coach bus the way he did. The FTAs were great, I did almost all of the additions, the only thing I would change is maybe add an extra day somewhere to slow down the pace of the trip a little bit as it did feel quite rapid.
I lived it and was the perfect trip and couldn’t be better
I had a great time, made some new friends, saw a bunch of great places and was fully immersed in the wonderful culture of Ireland
It was just the break I needed. A great way to spend a week in Ireland seeing as much as possible in such a short amount of time. Wish I had more time to explore the Emerald Isle!
