Our tour guide Danny was one of the best tour guides we have had, he was very knowledgeable and friendly to everyone making sure we all had what we needed. The best part is when he told some of the stories/legends coming from Ireland and we could see the land reflected in those stories. My favorite part was learning about and visiting derry :)”

“I’m glad they had a backpacker option so that I could afford to do this as a student traveling solo! Gordon, our driver, literally knew everything and everyone - he introduced us to lots of locals and gave great recommendations and even hung out with us at the pub in the evenings. (The Celtic Steps show in Killarney and the Black Taxi Tour in Belfast were especially great experiences). The transit experience was great: we had a small coach and a small group (about 15) and the coach had wifi. The accommodations (except the first night) were also very nice - backpackers even got a private room in Annascaul. Breakfast…”

It was a wonderful experience, all of the guides were extremely knowledgeable and personable. It felt like being with informed friends. All our accommodations were great and all guess work was taken out of it for us. They took care of everything and the one glitch they worked quickly to help us resolve. Could not be happier with out experience.”

6.6-Day All of Ireland Rail Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 15 reviews · 6 days · from $2,353

Travel Ireland without driving on a six-day route linking Cork, Cobh, Killarney, Galway, the Aran Islands, Connemara, Dublin, and Belfast. You get reserved rail seats, local guides, admissions, transfers, breakfasts, and three hotel bases. Guide Brendan is especially good with history, while the pace is demanding.

“This was a great option for our first trip to Ireland. Our first Guide, Brendan, was wonderful. He knew all the history of the sites we were visiting & kept us well informed. Unfortunately, he was with us for only the first half. The second half was more chaotic. We had different guides & less information was given. Our bus on the way to the Aran Islands broke down & then was very late picking us back up again. We were very rushed around. Apparently, our new guide did not understand that there was only one couple in our group of 16 that were young. The rest of us could…”

7.6-Day Tour of Southern Ireland from Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 11 reviews · from $997Best value

Spend six days touring southern and western Ireland from Dublin with an English-speaking guide, transport, breakfast, accommodation, and entrance fees included. The route features Glendalough, Kilkenny, Blarney Castle, the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and nightlife in Galway, though daily routing may vary.

“The itinerary was not followed. They zig zagged across the country instead of a logical path around like the itinerary stated it would be. This made it so you only had 15 minutes at some destinations. We spent more time at gas stations than at some of our planned destinations. We spent more time on the bus doing it this way as well. The guide was rude when you would ask a question and talked bad about previous people who had done the tour. The guide stated that they made the reservations for hotels everyday and that would determine where we ended up based on what was available that day.…”
