    If you hesitate about this tour - do so no more! This is the best tour to explore Ireland, with 10 days being the perfect duration. We hit the jackpot with our Travel Director! Jordie is not only the most knowledgeable person I've met when it comes to Ireland, but one of the most knowledgeable person in general. Incredibly positive, down to earth, warm, welcoming and inclusive, making sure everyone is having a great time. Be sure she'll make your trip unforgettable! You rarely find such professionals so inspired by and passionate about their work these days. Her enthusiasm is contagious! Let's not forget our superhero driver Salah, whom you can trust to take you anywhere, even to Mars - you'll be in safe hands. Perfectly organized itinerary, the most comfortable coach, amazing hotels. And with so many and so diverse meals you'll be rolling out of the bus at the end. And last but not least - the best choice for solo travelers. Words are not enough to describe how magical this trip was for me and I'm sure if you keep your mind and heart open and start this trip with a positive mindset, it can be magical for you too!
