    I am extremely satisfied with the tour. All three guides were very serious and responsible. I spent the most time with Peter, who was especially kind, enthusiastic, and thoughtful. The itinerary was well-designed, and I felt that we visited all the classic attractions—the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and I was super satisfied. Moreover, the schedule was not too tiring; it was relatively relaxed and easy to follow. The arranged hotel was excellent, with great service and an ideal location. The surroundings were quiet, yet it was not far from the bustling streets. Overall, I was very pleased with the entire experience

  • C

    Craig

    Asked on February 24th, 2025

    Looking this over, it reads like there are 3 nights of hotels - but under accommodations it only lists 2 nights at the first location. Which is it? And the last night ends at the train station at like 9:45pm. Is this correct? So I'd need to find my own hotel near the train station.

    Accommodation
    • Railtours Ireland First ClassOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, the tour includes 3 nights of accommodation: the first two nights will be in Killarney, and the last night will be in Galway. The specific hotels depend on availability with our hotel partners at the time of booking. Regarding your return to Dublin, the train departs Galway at 19:20 and arrives at Heuston Station at 21:45. Accommodation in Dublin is not included for this night.
