Ireland Tours in October 2026

Ireland is a beautiful country to visit, our tour leader, Carolyn, was absolutely amazing. Nothing was a problem for her. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Our coach driver, John, was professional in every aspect of the tour. He was also very knowledgeable & helpful too.

This entire tour met my expectations fully. Our tour manager was very knowledgeable and always was attentive to our needs. Traveling by bus allowed us to truly see the countryside, and there were plenty of viewing stops included. Our stops helped us to truly understand the history and culture of Ireland. An added bonus for us was a tour bus driver who was also a photographer. He was able to use a drone and share spectacular photos of Ireland’s famous coastline and ancient castles.

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

Guided tours are the way to go! This was such an amazing experience and Collette is TOP NOTCH! From the Tour Director contacting us before the trip for questions, to the breath taking scenery and every detail in between. We got to see a lot and had free time as well! The Slieve League Cliffs were stunning as well as the Cliffs of Moher, but the best parts were the intimate, off the beaten path locations where we really got to live like a local. The Irish people are so warm and welcoming that we felt like Family!

There was not a thing that I could fault with my latest holiday to The Emerald Isle. The tour guide Carolyn and the bus driver John, were a formidable pair. Both were very professional and knowledgeable in their activities and nothing was too much trouble. I felt so relaxed upon my return as all the hard work was done for me. I just had to sit in my comfortable seat and listen to the commentary.

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.
