Sarah· June 12th, 2025We enjoyed the best of both worlds with this small group guided tour experience! Besides the stress-free advantage of not having to drive a rented car on the "wrong side" of the road to see Ireland's stunning Wild Atlantic Way, we met a nice group of between 5-8 fellow travellers and had a few days of independent exploration. This smaller group was much more agile and agreeable than a typical coach full of 50 tourists! Our guide and bus driver, Anthony Dawson, was exceptional. Not only did he ensure we got everywhere safely on often narrow and winding mountain roads, but he communicated well and adapted the tour as required "on the fly" when the weather or other factors changed our plans. During one bonus visit, we were fortunate to see County Kerry's Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park where we had an amazing panoramic view of the nature reserve and surrounding area from a 20-meter tall viewing tower. From the wild beauty of the Connemara Region, to the history in Northern Ireland and the charm of colourful towns like Westport, Dingle and Killarney, there were too many highlights to name during our 13-day tour. Anthony's background as a professional photographer who knew where to take the best pictures, and as an artist, historian and overall fun guy, made our trip all that more enjoyable. His well-curated bus playilst perfectly enhanced the passing scenery and he always made sure we knew where we could find the best pubs at each overnight stop. We've been on a lot of guided tours around the world, but Irish Experience Tours, wtih Anthony Dawson, ranks among the best!Show moreTrip date: May 2025- CChristine· June 8th, 2025My wife and I don’t believe we could have had a better experience. We were very pleased with the small group option. Our guide Anthony was excellent, sharing his knowledge about the regions we traveled through. Interactions with the people of Ireland was pleasant throughout the trip. Food wise, it was mostly good. Some locations had excellent dishes to choose from. Hamburgers seemed to be available everywhere. Breakfast was good everyday. Lodging was adequate, however keep in mind most do not have air conditioning! Hence the reason we choose to visit before Summer. To our disappointment, when booking our trip, we failed to recognize the option to upgrade the lodging. We for certain would have paid extra for that option. I believe the website could have made that easier to spot, just my opinion.Show moreTrip date: May 2025

Trip date: March 2025 - HDHelene· October 19th, 2024Anthony Dawson is a historian, professional photographer who knew where we should take photos, musician; pairing music with the places that we were visiting.. Caring to our unique group of people all ages and nationalities. He could think outside of the box when traffic ruined our plans or weather, he had another plan. Very lucky to have him as my guide.Show moreTrip date: September 2024

Sean was fabulous, funny, knowledgeable with a song and story for every occasion, and of course, pub recommendations. The accommodations were comfortable with great breakfast options. We saw a lot in 13 days but the pacing was just right. Remember it’s Ireland. Pack layers and always have a raincoat! Highly recommended.Show moreTrip date: June 2024

Dennis
Asked on March 26th, 2025What is the physical rating for this tour, is it okay for seniors? Does it include a lot of walking? Is there some leisure time?
- Irish Experience ToursOperator•Written March 2025
Our 13-Day Wild Irish Experience is designed to be easygoing, immersive, and accessible—making it a fantastic option for seniors or anyone looking for a slower-paced, enriching adventure. Physical Rating: Easy to Moderate (but all flexible & optional!). There is some walking involved—especially during scenic stops, guided walking tours, and visits to natural sites. All walks are optional and gentle, with time to explore at your own pace. You'll have plenty of downtime built in: free time in towns, optional excursions, and relaxed starts on some days. If you're mobile and comfortable walking short distances, you'll be fine.

Asked on November 18th, 2024How are the excursions handled? Is the Tour Guide's job just to transport the group from place to place or does he actually go on the individual tours/sightseeing options with you? How do you get to and from these excursions?
- Irish Experience ToursOperator•Written November 2024
the tour guide will be with you most of the time from 8.30 am until 6 pm. He/She will drive and guide around Ireland. They will be with you on the included visits but not on the optional extras. All these will be organised by your driver/guide while in Ireland and they will introduce you to the local guides that are leading those excursions. We will drop you to the excursions - they are all either centrally located, close to your accommodation or along the itinerary route.
