Shades of Ireland

Amazing trip!

Everyday was my favorite!! John, the tour manager, made everyday wonderful with his knowledge of Ireland. Love listening to his stories. He was very kind & compassionate with a great sense of humor. I can still hear his laughter & Irish brogue!! Dave, our bus driver, was the most important part of our trip. Every morning he greeted us with a smile on his face & always was there lending a helping hand when we departed from the bus. His driving skills were beyond superb. I always felt safe. In Galway I bought a beautiful Trinity necklace in a small jewelry store. What a lovely experience chatting with the shop keeper & the necklace is beautiful! Staying in 4 star hotels each night was wonderful, my way of traveling, especially the Cabra Castle. The restaurants you chose were, also, wonderful. The food was exceptional. Each tour included was very special!! Loved each & every single one of them! Traveling with Collette is always a great experience. You always look after the needs of your travelers. I know you’ve paid attention to every detail. I met some of the nicest people on our trip. Love to hear about their travels & lives!!! What a wonderful experience!! Thank you

The Blarney Castle, Waterford, Ring of Jerry, The sheepdogs,. I loved everything. Our tour guy snd bus driver was the best! Thank you do much

I would definitely do a tour with Collette again. Jackie, the tour guide was awesome. My favorite site to see was the Cliffs of Moher. They are amazing. I also really enjoyed the sheep grazing in the fields. Dining and staying overnight in a castle was a fun adventure.

I especially loved the stunning Irish coastal scenery, like rhe Cliffs of Mohr and the Northernmost ones. Kissing the Blarney Stone was a memorable adventure. And our guide, Michael Talbot, couldn’t have been more wonderful. His informative or amusing stories during our bus rides were great. One “extra” I would cut was the “pub entertainment night” in Derry. The food there was inedible, and the entertainment felt repetitive and went on too long.

The hotels that we stayed in were very nice. All the meals provided were above average. The itinerary for the tour hit all the high spots. Our Tour Manager was good however it was very difficult to understand her on the bus when she was speaking into the microphone. When you spoke one-on-one with her, it was not difficult to understand her. She was very accommodating in switching the tour around so that we could go to the cliffs. She was always able to recommend good restaurants in the towns that we were at. Our final night at Kings Court, Cabra Castle was really very special

It was a wonderful experience. Tour guide and bus driver were amazing.

It was a beautiful experience.

My favorites were the Cliffs, the Sheep farm and Killarney. Your manager and bus driver were excellent. The country is as friendly as it is beautiful!

The accommodations were wonderful, better than expected! Fiona was very helpful. I appreciated her ability to keep everyone on schedule and was just an all-around great tour guide. Fiona was very knowledgeable, kind and fun. I'm so glad she was a part of my Ireland vacation.

The meal and show at a castle. The sheep farm was interesting.
