Great trip! Great accomodations! Quite a bit of time on the coach, but that is Ireland! Highlight is Ashford Castle. Choose falconry!!! It is a must!
We traveled with my husband, my mom, and my best friend and her husband. 15 people total on the bus. We were the youngest at 50. Mom was probably the oldest at 76. Great variance in ages!

we were part of a small group , 18 + tour guide and bus driver and that made all the difference in getting to know everyone and I would reccomend that highly as opposed to large group tours.
Also our tour guide was absolutely amazing and made such a difference in our tour experience. Our Bus driver was also wonderful navigating the narrow roads and hills while we could enjoy the beautiful countryside and the busy cities!
