What people love about Ireland Tours from Dublin
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
Great all around! Enjoyed the hikes, bike rides, kayaking, and everything else. Do think we may have needed a bit more down time, though. It was a bit tiring being on the go all of the time.
- 6-Day Magical Southern Explorer Small Group Tour
A wonderful trip with a wonderful leader! Flexible when needed. Very nice accommodations. Would book with Overland again!
- Emerald Isle
This was an excellent way to see a lot of the Republic of Ireland in a short period of time. Personally I felt too long was spent in Blarney; for those who didn’t want to kiss the stone the only alternative was shopping or eating and it was too early for the latter.
