What people love about touring Ireland solo
- 7-Day Ireland to Island Small Group Tour of Ireland
My trip with Overland was absolutely five star from start to finish. From the wonderfully comfortable transportation to the standard of our guide, Pat, who was not only exceptionally friendly and engaging but thoroughly knowledgeable on all things, well, everything; the history of Ireland to modern day politics. No request was too small or too big – he looked after everything we needed. The highlight of this trip for me was the Skelligs tour – it had been on my bucket list for a long time and I’m so glad it was Overland who helped me tick this off. It does not disappoint despite all the hype – in fact, I think it is only surpassed in real life. Standing on a little rock in the middle of the Atlantic ocean surrounded by adorable puffins in the middle of a wondrous historic site….it truly is magical. Hands down one of the best trip I’ve done in Ireland – I couldn’t recommend Overland highly enough.
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
The best part of our 7 day Ireland Tour without a doubt had to be our tour guide! Conner, made sure every member of our group needs were taken care of and his knowledge of Ireland was beyond reproach. He had many stories to inform us about every stop we made. As per the groups request he took us to the Dingle Crystal Factory, which is one of the only factories in Ireland still cutting fine crystal. We saw how to cut crystal and we even purchased two magnificent wine goblets. The accommodations were all five star. Great Irish breakfasts and wonderful recommendations for dinner. Everyone enjoyed listening to live Irish Music each evening was a major plus. And Conner's mini musical concerts were special! Conner is no doubt - SIMPLY THE BEST!
- Wild South - Multi-Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland
This is beyond my expectation, the Tour Van went to very wonderful places that big buses cannot go , the Tour Guide gave us historical facts n personalized extra places we wanted to see. He accompanied us to restaurants pubs that locals go to. We went to Ireland’s treasured spots . This is the way to see Ireland in a van called Wild N Happy with Michael n Thomas. Even Wild Ophelia cannot stop Michael from showing us Killarney. Must see Killarney National Park, Ring Kerry, Dingle,Skellig, Ross Castle, King John Castle, The Birds n the Cave, Cliffs Mohr . Go with Wild n Happy u will be Happy .
