Irish Explorer

Fun to experience things with a nice group, we made new friends on this trip. The locations were stunning and many wonderful experiences. Hoped to stay in some spots longer, like having time to go through the castle and town in Kilkenny. But get that time is tricky on moving travels, overall I really enjoyed it. Milos was an exceptional driver as well!

We started with a brand new tour guide and a substandard bus. We adapted to the bus and help train the tour guide. It was a lovely week driving though the Irish countryside, visiting sites and meeting the Irish people. We were blessed with pretty good weather, a good group of travelers and an abundance of goodwill. We learned so much about Irish history and what makes this such a great country. The Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle were the 2 highlights. The Merry Plowboys Pub singing and dancing was the perfect way to end the the tour. We enjoyed all the stops and excursions. We enjoyed the camaraderie and making new friends. We especially enjoyed all the stories spun and legends revealed by our tour guide.

Luke was the best ever tour guide and Enda the best driver. We saw so much and learned a great deal about ireland. We wanted to see ireland outside of dublin and were not disappointed. We didn't want to drive so this tour was great to sit back and let Enda drive. Luke was a entertainer, historian and storyteller. We had a great group. We would definitely recommend as a great trip to see the sights of ireland. Loved, loved, loved!

From quaint small towns, to bustling big cities, and hidden gems on an off-beat path, you see it all! Our tour guide and coach driver were amazing. Enda guided us through what seemed like impossibly narrow streets, while Luke kept us entertained with memorable stories of Ireland's history and folklore. I have not been on many tours but I know this experience is going to be hard to beat. Luke and Enda have set the bar high.

Loved the adventures through Ireland with the most marvelous guide! Luke and Edna were a fantastic team!

The exceptional tour guide, Luke and coach driver, Edna created the perfect week!

I fell in love with Ireland! Tour is great, hotels are nice. Luke and Enda are the perfect pair! They are very polite, knowledgeable, sincerely nice and care for their passengers. I think they make a good team!

What a amazing tour! We had a great team, Luke, our tour guide was a absolute star, he was entertaining and he never failed to make us laugh. He knew everything and anything! Our driver Enda, what a talented man! He kept us safe, always on time and also provided a amazing experience. They make a amazing team! I loved the tour, being able to see the whole Ireland was amazing and I loved every moment.

Luke the tour guide made this trip all the better with his love of what he does. How took care of every person's needs and made the trip extremely enjoyable.

The tour was well organized, fun excursions, and the accommodations very nice. There were more included dinners than on other tours I've been on which I liked. Our guide was A++ very engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. A real fun guy. Driver was very cordial and professional. All in all a great week

Definitely a great choice to have for first time solo traveller. Great tour guide (Luke), great scenery, great cultural experience, great bunch of people! Will come here with my family

This was my third time with Expat, I chose you because you know what you're doing, and I was NOT disappointed!! The itinerary was well planned our tour guide Luke - exceptional... What we saw and learnt are worth more than a new vechile! The exchange rate (I'm from SA is crazy) but, thank you for a great life experience, I am so happy I've chosen Expat, and will do so again! (and our friends too!)

The tour was fantastic. Our guide Luke was really entertaining, well organised and knowledgeable and the tour ran like clockwork.

Both Mike , our tour leader and Matko, our driver are dedicated to giving us a memorable tour . I commend these two . They did a wonderful job .

Wonderful experience of Ireland

Having Luke and Karl as Travel Director and driver, respectively made huge difference and d elevated my tour experience to a greater level.. Luke is fun, funny, effervescent like a spay sparkling wine, knowledgeable like a walking Wikipedia, great sense of humor, very friendly and affable, always going above and beyond expectations.Ioved that we would have photo stops not even included in the itinerary Karl would make sure he he dropped site as near as possible to the places we need to go. Together they have great teamwork, I can call them the DYNAMIC DUO! LUKE AND KARL, YOU ARE ROCK STARS!!

Great trip! Our days were full of fun and excitement! Our tour guide Luke has a passion for history, places and people which makes him very good at his job as guide. He can bring a group of strangers together with ease and make everyone feel comfortable and included. Luke was very organized, professional and lots of fun. Expat is lucky to have him on the team! Our driver Karl was amazing and a very skilled driver. Karl was able to navigate very narrow, twisty roads with ease. I felt safe and comfortable with him behind the wheel. The Ireland Itinerary was well planned and I am so thankful I chose Expat for my trip. I have beautiful photos of Ireland and a lifetime of memories. I will definitely book with Expat again and recommend to future travelers as well.

If you won't to see Ireland this the best tour, If you get Luke as your tour guide you will have the-greatest time . I hear he has kissed the Barney stone 5 times so you know he has the gift of the gab ! Ha Ha . The hotels and food were top class, and the extra trips are all so good . Our tour was so lively with singing on the coach , and we all made friends . The driver was good and got us to all our stops on time . Get booking you will not regret it . Have fun we did !

This tour gave us such a lovely quick view of all of the highlights of Ireland. Our tour leader Luke was just the best, full of knowledge and enthusiasm and our driver Karl was amazing at getting the coach through some tight spots. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to explore Ireland.

This trip was amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide, Luke and our driver Karl were a great team and nothing was ever too much trouble. The tour was filled with exciting adventures and Luke's commentary was both insightful and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour.

Incredibly wonderful experience with our fabulous and extremely knowledgeable tour guide Luke - amazing gift of a pleasant experience. Karl our driver was also cream of the crop in getting us close to the sites, but most importantly arriving safely everyday! Well done Luke and Karl!

Our driver (Karl) and tour leader (Luke), were a fantastic team who put a unforgettable week together like 'words in a song'.

Luke was extremely organised and brought an exceptional energy everyday. We saw so much of Ireland and was an affordable way to do it. Our driver Karl and Luke worked well together to make sure we were able to do everything in the time we had. Thanks for an amazing tour!

Great overview of Ireland. Pace was just right. Tour guide, Luke, and driver, Karl, were so awesome! Luke's personality and great entertaining stories, really made the whole experience top.

This trip was worth every penny! We ended up doing every optional but one, and they were all very fun. You get a paper every day with an itinerary so you know what youre doing and how long for each viewing/stop. The trip feels like a bit of a whirlwind, but in a good way. Our tour guide Luke was personable and had lots of great historical and current information about each area. If you're interested in seeing as much of Ireland as possible I would highly recommend this tour.

Luke and Carl ensure that every moment of your journey is filled with wonder and discovery. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, embarking on this adventure with Luke and Carl is an unforgettable journey that will leave you longing to return to Ireland time and time again.""

We loved the tour. It was 2nd time on the Expat Tour and it didn't disappoint. The sites were abundant and wonderful, the hotels were always great and overall it was a fantastic experience. Our driver was VERY IMPRESSIVE and fun and awesome. Do not hesitate to take this tour!

First time doing a guided tour. Was well planned. Lots to see, just wished we had more time to spend at certain stops. Guide and tour bus driver were amazing. Thanks Tony and Diarmaid!

Our tour leader Aileen & driver Sam were excellent and the tour was comprehensive and thorough.

This was our first tour. We saw much more than we could have if planning our own vacation. It was fast moving and the days were packed with interesting things to do and information about Ireland. We enjoyed meeting the many members of our group and were please that they were of all ages and from many locations. We did find that our tour bus was not very comfortable, although our driver was fabulous, as was our tour leader. We did wish for more time to see some of the locations. We realize that we need to extend our trips by a few day to a week to go explore more at the completion of a tour.
