Ireland Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Ireland tours
David Re | Traveled in July
Great tour with a great guide and driver. Went to most of the major spots worth visiting at an easy pace and with plenty of time to enjoy the location
Kathleen Wr | Traveled in July
The guide Moirin and Driver Dan were excellent, couldn't have got better.
Frank Le | Traveled in July
The Tour, guide, Moorin and driver Dan were all excellent. Would rather have spent more time in Kilarney than Kinsale In Dublin the Ashling hotel is weak. Not 4 star We on 1st floor overlooking the park. No mesh curtains or blinds so could watch the drug dealers in the park. Not a good look!! Location however is good Not your problem but taxi driver from airport rude and expensive €63. Return trip we booked prepaid Uber. Much better €40 In Galway the Dean hotel is unsuitable for 2 nights. Rooms small, no storage inadequate amenities. Good location Overall we enjoyed the tour. It was our 2nd Back Roads tour and will do another
Rasa F. | Traveled in June
Gardens and sights, museums were stunning. Would have loved a pub crawl to see all the stunning pubs. Would have been fun to have a Farm experience as well and be able to see little sheep or cows and fresh milk and yogurt, cheese. In America, Irish cheese is famous, would be fun to have a cheese tasting.
Lynn W. | Traveled in June
A little too pub oriented. Would have liked more nature--farm, animals, cheese production
Julienne Be | Traveled in June
Tour guide and driver were brilliant. The tour included lots of history and geography and the scenery was astounding. We met many of the local people, who are very welcoming and very funny and stayed in first class hotels. The group of people we traveled with were lovely and there was always a lot of laughter on the bus. We sat in different seats on the bus every day and the fun we had on the bus between stops made the journey time just fly by.
