    We had a small group of 25 people. Sean and the Irish Experience company went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. I would highly recommend booking with Irish experience. I know I will be when we return in a few years.

    Seanie with Irish Experience Tours did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them! They coordinated everything needed including transportation, experiences, overnight accommodations, breakfast and even some of our lunches and/or dinners. He kept our entire bus of 25 entertained with his wealth of knowledge of both the history and folktales of different areas in Ireland, as well as his music and jokes. This was an awesome experience and I would highly recommend to everyone! Thanks for the memories! Tim and Colleen C.

    The trip was very enjoyable with beautiful scenery, good tours of castles and old houses, and plenty of photo stops. Rory is an excellent driver and appears to be still learning to improve his tour guide skills. He is pleasant and funny, but will be a better guide as he learns more about the history of his country and its landscape. The limit of no more than 16 guests on the bus made for a good group of travelers. It would be helpful if he would meet with the group on the first day and go over the various optional tours at that time so the guests could sign up early. Some of the optional tours were full once we were encourage to sign up. Being able to connect with other guides doing the same or similar routes from the Tour group helped to add interesting information about Ireland. I enjoyed the tour and am happy to recommend the company.

    It was my first time in Ireland and we did the 10-Day Coast and Castle tour. I went into the trip with great anticipation and high expectations.

    We had an amazing tour of the coast of Ireland. I was so glad we had somebody who knew all of the history in details of the areas that we were going to. If I would’ve tried to plan this trip by myself, I would have missed many beautiful places.

    Amanda

    Asked on September 5th, 2025

    Based on the itinerary of the tour I would like to book (Wild Irish Adventure I believe it's called), it looks like there is not much time spent in Dublin. As I would like to explore Dublin more, I would like to add a couple of days to my visit, outside of the tour dates. Can you assist me with recommendations to help with this, for example a place to stay in Dublin?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Irish Experience ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      Our Wild Irish Adventure tour focuses on Ireland's stunning west coast and rural highlights, so there's limited time spent in Dublin during the itinerary. If you'd like to explore Dublin before or after your tour, we highly recommend arriving a day or two early or staying on a bit after the tour ends. Near Pick-Up points, we suggest staying at Point A Hotel, Academy Plaza Hotel, The Castle Hotel, or Maldron Hotel Parnell Square.

  • G

    Gillian

    Asked on September 3rd, 2025

    Are admission fees to sites included?

    Tour Details
    • Irish Experience ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      Yes — admission fees to major sites and experiences are included in the tour price for the 10-Day Wild Irish Experience. This includes places like: The Cliffs of Moher, Cahir Castle, The Rock of Cashel, Kylemore Abbey & Gardens, Sheepdog demonstration on a local farm, Highlights of Killarney National Park, Galway, and more, Clonmacnoise, Walking tour of Westport. We believe in providing a great-value, all-in experience, so you won't be surprised by extra costs at the door. Optional activities or meals outside the itinerary are the only extras you might consider.

    Edward

    Asked on July 12th, 2025

    We are 4 seniors looking at your tours of Ireland. Would your hotels have good comfy beds? Can you tell me what the mornings look like? Does one have to put our luggage out early? Time frame? What times is breakfast and what time do we need to be on the bus? I have issues with eating such as being Celiac and Lactose intolerant. What does that look for accommodating us?

    Tour Details
    • Irish Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      Hotel Comfort: Irish Experience Tours partners with quality accommodations—hotels and B&Bs that prioritize guest comfort, including comfy beds and welcoming environments suitable for seniors. Mornings & Luggage: Morning luggage pick-up isn't overly early. Typically, tours departs between 8:30 am and 9.00am Luggage handling is not included, so you just bring it with you when checking out, and your driver while load it onto the bus. Breakfast & Departure Times: Breakfast usually happens before the am departure time. Exact breakfast times depend on the hotel, but they are scheduled to allow for a relaxed start to the day—no need for rushed, crack-of-dawn wake-ups. Between 7.30am and 8.45am. Dietary Accommodations: Irish Experience Tours is dedicated to being flexible and supportive, including special dietary requirements. Celiac and lactose intolerance are common requests, and accommodations are made both at hotels and during included meals. It's best to let the team know in advance, so they can coordinate with hotel kitchens and local restaurants along the route.

    Transport
    • Irish Experience ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      We don't offer optional excursions to visit Dublin as part of our tours, but Dublin is very easy to explore on your own. The Dublin Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour is definitely one of the easiest and most convenient ways to see the city. For transportation, we use two styles of luxury buses: The Iveco Turas 700, perfect for groups of 16 or more, and the Mercedes Sprinter, ideal for groups of 10 or more.
