Rebecca· October 31st, 2025The tour provided the opportunity to explore many sites of Ireland. The accomodations were comfortable, the bus driver was excellent and the coach was comfortable. We had many interesting experiences. The tour guide was disappointing, with poor communication and little historical or local context provided. Tour Radar was a favorable price point, but be aware of many extra fees and expected tips.Show moreTrip date: October 2025- SVStaneli· October 30th, 2025It was excellent. The price was bargain, Eoin was a great tour guide and the bus driver was an excellent drive who kept us safe. The activities were fun- interesting -beautiful. Food was pretty good, most was excellent. I totally recommend this tour to anyone. Shout out how wonderful the tour guide and driver was.Show more
Trip date: October 2025 - RTRobert· October 28th, 2025The tour allowed us to explore Ireland geographically, culturally and historically. The sights sounds and smells were enchanging and at all times we felt safe, secure and in good hands.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Kirk Alfred· October 23rd, 2025Our trip to Ireland during the low season turned out to be fantastic. The weather stayed pleasant throughout, and the hotels were comfortable enough. The food was enjoyable, and although the schedules were pretty packed with a few typical delays, everything generally went smoothly. There was some minor miscommunication, but it was quickly sorted out. Our tour guide, Eoin, was friendly, approachable, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt well taken care of, providing everything a traveler could need. Our driver, Justine, was highly skilled, making sure we stayed safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Gary· October 23rd, 2025We had a busy week, but saw many things and met some great people. There were some logistical challenges and they could’ve included a couple more of the optional excursions to smooth out the flow of travel, but otherwise everything was perfect. The hotels were good enough. The food was pretty good, though varied from place to place. And we had the greatest driver ever, Justin.Show moreTrip date: October 2025

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!Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- BGBranden· December 30th, 2024We 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.Show moreTrip date: October 2024

Asked on September 9th, 2025Is there availability for 4 adults and 1 child. ( 2 rooms) And if the price for the child the same as the adults please?
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written September 2025Our Tours accommodation children from 10 years old and up. Same rate applies to all age group. The tour package inclusion is for 2 persons per room only. For your group of 5, that would mean that 1 of the adults will be sharing a room with another traveler of the same gender from the tour group.

Asked on July 12th, 2025Can you please confirm your tour starts in Dublin on 12 Oct 2025 at 10am and ends in Dublin 18 Oct 2025 at 10am (after breakfast)? For the night of 11 Oct it would seem best to stay at the tour start hotel - and that for the night of 11 Oct we would have to make our own reservations - is this correct. Can you provide the name of the hotel? The tour ends on 18 Oct 2025 - our flights out are at 9:30am on 18 Oct - so we would need to be at the airport for about 7:30am is this a problem from your perspective?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written July 2025
The tour starts in Dublin on 12 October 2025 at 10:00 AM, with the meeting point at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel. If you're arriving the day before, staying at the same hotel is a great idea, and yes, you would need to book the night of 11 October separately, as it is not included in the tour package. The tour ends on 18 October 2025 at approximately 10:00 AM at the same hotel, after breakfast. Since your flight departs at 9:30 AM on 18 October, you can absolutely leave the tour earlier in the morning to make it to the airport on time — just be sure to let your tour leader know in advance so they're aware.

Traveler•Written July 2025I have been reviewing various Irish tours and I think the "Taste of Ireland - Tour D" would work for us (2 seniors). My dates would be Monday 13 Oct to Sat 18 Oct (am). I will be flying out on Sat am about 9:30 - so I would have to check out sometime before 7am - could we still get breakfast? Would it be possible to alter the last night hotel to one close to the airport? Please quote a price for two for this tour using your promo ccode for the selected dates and advise the best way to book, the necessary deposit and contact info for the tour operator
