Customer Reviews
This trip allowed us to experience the countryside, ocean views, and all sizes of cities. Our tour director was a wonderful storyteller to provide historical information or legendary stories about the sites we were visiting. The tour director was also proactive to schedule our tours so we would be most likely to have the most amount of time viewing and not waiting in lines. She provided suggestions about the cities attractions and where to find services as needed.
Excellent program. Local tours and featured sites are balanced with free time for personal exploring. Tour guide for Irish Experience was very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the country. Tour director was also good about notifying tourists in group on comfort stops, food options, time for getting back on bus, etc.
Our trip visited all the spots in Ireland that were the most important to me and my daughter. Specifically, we loved the Giant's Causeway, the days in Belfast and Derry, the visit to Malin Head, the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and Blarney Castle and Park. We loved the trip and the additional experiences. The flights were expensive but I blame the Iran war.
Great itinerary, especially enjoyed the ‘Be My Guest’ visit to a local farm with a delicious lunch prepared with their local farm ingredients. Enjoyed the Ring of Kerry and the beauty of Malin Head. Nice selection of optional experiences were also available. Enjoyed Tram on the Prom music and river dancing. Our Travel Director, Allie, was excellent managing our large group of 49 travellers and providing details about Ireland. Our Director shared history, stories, and music while we were on the bus. Excellent tour and great group of people to travel with!
Great guide, great bus driver, great rooms and food provided. All around excellent value for the money.
