    I had never been to Ireland before so it was great it exlpore it with Luke as our guide. He is a fantastic tour guide and I would highly recommend booking one of his tours. Dublin was an amazing city with a friendly people and the Ring of Kerry had some breath taking views. Again, if your thinking about touring Ireland, do it with Luke! Top guy!

    We did a tour of Ireland in October this year. Our tour leader was Luke. Wow. Luke is funny, charismatic, informative and what I’d consider a well read historian. Although he said he is not actually a historian I learned more from this dude in a week than I have my whole life. His story’s really do make him a perfect person for this Role. He’s helpful he’s professional he’s a master in command of the itinerary and it feels like he knows about something on every street. Luke seems to know everyone everywhere we go and it’s so obvious that everyone loves him. My favourite part was how much he linked Irish Mytholgy into his informative information session. Basically I don’t think it’s possible to have a better guide than Luke. He truly is the best in the industry.

    I have to say I had an absolutely amazing experience on tour in Ireland, From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised and definitely exceeded my expectations. Luke was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and full of energy. He made every moment enjoyable and engaging. He made us all feel very welcome and we all had lots of laughter and cheer, making some colder days feel like so much fun. We could not of asked for a better tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour and Luke to all our friends and family. This was truly a memorable experience and we have Luke to thank for this. I can not wait to go on another tour.

    Judith

    Asked on April 15th, 2025

    I am considering this tour option but am confused about accommodation. I would arrive in Dublin on the 18th October as the tour departs on the 19th. Is accommodation included for the night of the 18th or would I need to organise that myself?

    Accommodation
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      Since the tour starts on 19 October you would be required to arrange your own pre-accommodation for the 18th of October 2025.

    Where would we meet the group? Can we fly a day ahead to Dublin?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      The meet up location for this tour, is at a Hotel in Dublin. At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed starting hotel. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information. Yes, you can choose to arrive in Dublin a day early but you will have to arrange your pre-tour accommodations for that evening.
