What people love about Ireland Tours in August
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
The Overland Ireland Emerald Explorer 7 day trip departing Dublin April 3 was fantastic. I don't see any room for improvement. Pat, our guide and driver, was the best. He was informative, helpful, interesting, funny, considerate and always had the group's best interest in mind. Overall a superb trip.
Oh my gosh. What a fabulous tour. Everyone going to Ireland needs to sign up for this tour right now. We did so many exciting things from boating to Islands out in the Atlantic, bikes riding, hiking Skellig Michael, visiting castles, staying in the most comfy/cute B&B's. Our tour guide Pat O'Mara is the BEST. He knows everything there is to know about Ireland. If the weather did not accommodate what we were supposed to do for the day, he made something else just as exciting happen. After our tour, we went to Northern Ireland on our own. We got off the bus and looked at each other and said "where is Pat when you need him"? Our experience on our own was nothing compared to Pat and Overland Tours. I have told all my friends about Overland. This is the way to see Ireland, no doubt.

Strategic home bases for August visits include Killarney which provides access to the Ring of Kerry Galway for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way and Dublin for urban discoveries.

Key venues like Murphy's Bar in Killarney and Gus O'Connor's Pub in Doolin host nightly music sessions during the peak August season.
