    The tour was fabulous and both our tour director Greg and driver Darius were so friendly and professional throughout. The itinerary fitted in a lot of highlights of Ireland, something we don’t think we could’ve done to the same extent had we driven ourselves. The organisation was great and loved the way timings were strict and early so we could largely avoid crowds from cruise ships etc. Excellent!

    Wow what an experience, thanks Greg and Darius. Loved the night at Trad on the Prom and the best regional pub in Ireland. Everywhere we went was brilliant. Thanks

    We saw a wide variety of sites all around Ireland, from cities like Dublin and Belfast to smaller towns like Killarney and Kilkenny. One of the things I liked the most about the trip was the variety of experiences. Not only did we tour the typical sites, like Blarney Castle and Waterford, but experienced the majesty of the Cliffs of Mohr and Giant’s Causeway. One of the most fun places was Ireland’s best pub where we learned about hurling and had a rousing singalong. If I had a complaint it was the pace of travel, although I did know that the itinerary was planned as a busy trip.

    Very knowledgable, helpful guide who kept us entertained with music, treats and Irish jokes. He had a knack of keeping us punctual, even the very laid back Aussies. Highly recommend him as a guide for any Trafalgar tours.

    The tour itself was fantastic and Greg made it soooo much better !! This was our first time doing an extended guided tour and he made things so easy with his organization and communication daily and before the trip, but it was his personality, charm, and knowledge that truly made this the best travel experience of my life !!!!

    If my husband and i did this tour with my mother-in-law, would we have two hotel rooms? One for the two of us and one for her?

      For three guests, we do offer the option of a triple room or 1 single room and 1 twin room. Please be advised that triple rooms are generally suitable for two adults and one child.

    I'd like to book the "Best of Ireland (10 days)" Tour online for two people. In your tour description a price of €2.516 per person is stated. However, when booking a price of €2.795 per person is shown. How can I do the booking for the lower price?

      The price listed on the tour description page is the starting price for the adventure. This indicates that the price begins at €2,516 during specific months, however, the July 26th departure isn't applicable.
