What people love about Ireland Tours in April
- Best of Ireland
My overall rating is excellent for this tour. Our tour guide, Calvin Marillier was great and made the trip the amazing experience it was.

The whole experience was fantastic!!! Our tour guide Mark was knowledgeable and very organized. We never had to worry about anything. Hotels were pleasant and food was delicious. My husband and I can't stop talking about how great it was! We will use them again for sure.....already looking at where else to go...lol
- Irish Highlights (Summer)
Loved loved loved Ireland. The tour itself was okay! The itinerary was a little rushed, but for last minute solo trip to Ireland it was the easiest way for me to get around. The guide was nice and very knowledgeable, but I wish she was more personable. She didn't make much of an effort to get to know many of us, which I think is an essential role for a tour guide so that they can better recommend activities more tailored to what we like. The tour guests vary in ages. I was not unhappy with the tour by any means, but I have been on other tours in other parts of the world that I thought were better.
