    Nick and Kevin offered us a fresh and varied experience. Loaded with historical information, funny stories, and witty antidotes, the tour was terrific. We kept to the "schedule" buy Kevin always made sure to add in some of our "must sees".

    Brandon

    Asked on March 22nd, 2025

    We have a party of 6 adults and are interested in booking your tour. However, one member of our party is 81 years old. The information on this tour states a maximum age of 80. Does that mean we can't book the tour since he is 81 years old?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Royal Irish ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      We have many people of all ages take our tours. All of our tours are leisurely-paced and provide plenty of stops so you are never on the coach for too long. If there is ever a visit you did not wish to participate in, you could opt out, have a coffee in the cafe, etc. Everyone needs to be able to get on and off the coach on their own, the driver and tour manager are not able to assist with this.
