    Hotel in Dublin was below standard too small for 2 people. Double bed no floor space. Tour guide (Joanne) and both bus drivers were excellent. Enjoyed the small group (14). Overall we were extremely happy with the tour and would recommend to others.

      We are very excited to hear from you! To clarify, the Waterford Crystal has been open and we haven't had any issues with the entrances for our past passengers. If it would be closed, we would have replaced this excursion with another activity as well.

    Belinda

    Asked on January 29th, 2024

    I'd like to look further into this tour, but I'd be looking toward the Spring of 2025. First, do you have any 2025 dates and prices yet, and if not, when will they come out? Also, can I be on the list to receive information when it does come out for that period. Second, I'd love to look at the hotels you use on this itinerary.
