What people love about Ireland Tours in October
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
The tour was great and our guide, Finn, was very personal and knowledgeable. The accommodations were very good and the breakfasts were delicious. My only suggestion is that dinner/ transportation to be added to the pricing.
- Great Tour of Ireland
Overall it was a good trip. We saw a lot in a very short time. One of the hotel had a pull out couch / bed for the third person - very uncomfortable to sleep , we ended up closing the couch and moved the cushions on to the floor to sleep. It was good to have breakfast included in the trip. Our guide was nice and efficient , he was born in Brazil and lives in Madrid. Our bus was mostly Spanish speaking people. so a Spanish speaking guide was needed. I think an Irish guide would have been better so that we can get a better feel of Ireland, the culture and history.
I wasn't really sure what to expect for our trip to Ireland, but Wild N' Happy exceeded my expectations. Michael and Tomas, our tour guides, were very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all the crazy questions our group could come up with. Hurricane Ophelia even tried to ruin our plans while there, but despite the weather hiatus for 1 day we were still able to see all the tour highlights. Both guides were amazing, patient, and had great senses of humor- they really felt like family by the end of the trip! A group of 6 us ranging from 28-80 yrs old went on this tour, and we all had a great time! The tours are put together very well- as you really get to see everything you desire before each stop for the night. I would highly recommend Wild N' Happy to anyone who wants to tour Ireland the BEST way with amazing guides, and have a great time! Thanks for helping make our trip so memorable!
