- ASaundra Lory-snyder· November 7th, 2025Enjoyed seeing the beauty of Ireland. Blarney Stone and Cliffs of Moher were the highlights. Bus tour of sites without being able to stop and take pictures was the only drawback.Show moreTrip date: June 2025Review collected by Collette

- ARonald Guthrie· November 7th, 2025Our tour of Ireland was comprehensive. The country is beautifully green with lots of open pastures full of sheep. Our tour manager, John, was wonderful. He was funny, organized and full of knowledge. Hotels were first class and the bus comfortable. All of the included sightseeing stops were amazing. I especially liked the Titanic Experience in Belfast.Show moreTrip date: June 2025Review collected by Collette
- AMary Ellen Franciscus· November 7th, 2025We saw a lot of Ireland and the tour worked seamlessly. The tour manager and the bus driver were excellent. Even during the bus rides we were learning, as the tour manager spoke about things we were curious about. The Ring of Kerry and the coastline of Northern Ireland were particularly beautiful. We didn't have sunny weather, but cool weather in July was a nice break from the heat at home.Show moreTrip date: July 2025Review collected by Collette

- APatricia Boyer· November 7th, 2025Cliffs of Moher , Giant Causeway and the tour of Belfast were highlights. So much countryside to cover in this trip that at times I felt rushed at all the stops along the way. I will remember some of the stories Aiden shared about his family (because there were a lot of them). He had a great sense of humor with lots of crack to share! It was nice to have both tour guide and tour driver that were actually born and raised in Ireland. The meals were good, however our last tour meal location could have been better. It was in an all white room with only chairs/tables lacking warmth and decor. Only big balls overhead lights. Very strange and cold setting.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
