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.
Holiday perfection! Where is the 10 stars button?!?!!! I cannot speak highly enough of this tour. Our lovely, charming, hardworking guide Pat went above and beyond to ensure we got to see the best the Emerald Isle has to offer. Highlight hands down was the Skellig Islands - I would say this is a holiday highlight of my life in fact, having been to 40+ countries... Where can you get epic nature, epic views and unbelievable history and adventure rolled into one? Jagged little islands with steps carved by monks from the churning sea in the 6th century. Was just unreal. You can’t believe what you are seeing as the boat approaches them. To be fair, every day of this tour had an epic adventure - can’t belive how much was seamlessly packed in. The tour felt totally personalized to our group with little tweaks along the way that really showed they were making it all about us, the guests. We never felt rushed or never felt bored - it was perfectly pitched. If you are considering this tour do not hesitate!!! Holiday of a lifetime for sure.
