- MBMajeedah· June 20th, 2025The locations were great. There was a good mix of free time and guided time. Definitely good value for money. The only downside is that most of the hotels are outside the city which makes it challenging to do more wandering/exploring on your own.Show moreTrip date: June 2025

Asked on June 17th, 2025Can you give me a rough idea of what time you get to Galway early arvo on Day 3? I wanted to see if I could fit in a visit to the Shrine of Our Lady at Knox. Could I be dropped off nearby the shrine on the way to Galway and then make my way to Galway on my own?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
On Day 3 of Our Irish Explore Tour, the group will arrive in Galway at around 3:30 PM. The day starts in Derry then the group travels to Sligo and then on to Galway. The group will have an Orientation Tour in Galway at around 4:15 PM and at around 5:30 PM will be Free Time.

Traveler•Written June 2025As a solo traveler, do you pair me up with another solo traveler for accommodation, as I'm willing to share, or do I have to pay a single supplement? I may need to leave the group on the last day when we leave Killarney as I may need to be in Cork. Would the tour be going past Cork/near Cork where I could be dropped off? If not I'll just make my way there.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
Since you're a solo traveler and happy to share, you'll be paired with another solo traveler of the same gender - no need to pay the single supplement unless you prefer a private room. Regarding your plan to possibly leave the group early in Killarney to head to Cork, that's absolutely fine. While the coach won't be stopping in Cork, you're welcome to make your own way there. Just be sure to let your Tour Leader know in advance so they're aware of your change in plans and can assist with any local guidance if needed.

Asked on June 15th, 2025Me and my mom were wondering if there's anyway we would be able to see the Titanic Museum while in Belfast? We're both huge history nerds and are absolutely fascinated with the Titanic, so we were hoping that maybe there's a way the museum could either be added in or that we would be able to use the time in Belfast to go ourselves and then meet back up with the group.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
You'll be happy to know that the Titanic Belfast Experience is actually offered as an optional excursion on Day 2 of the tour. This means you won't need to explore separately or miss out — you can simply join the group for the visit! This excursion can be booked directly during the tour with your tour leader.

Asked on June 12th, 2025Can you please advise me cost of Ring of Kerry tour. And what will tour see during day on Cork?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
The Ring of Kerry optional excursion sounds amazing, and at 60 Euros per person, it's an experience we'd highly recommend adding to your itinerary. While Cork isn't included in this adventure, Ireland offers a wealth of incredible sites, from the stunning Cliffs of Moher to the vibrant streets of Dublin.

Asked on June 9th, 2025What should we do if we arrive in Dublin after 10:00 a.m. on 8/24? Can you provide the information (name, address, etc.) of the hotel where we will stay on 8/23. Can you send me the list of optional excursions/events with the duration and price information.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
If you're arriving in Dublin after 10:00 a.m. on August 24, 2025, you'll need to make your own arrangements to join the group later that day. Your Tour Leader will help coordinate this. The anticipated meeting point on August 24 is Louis Fitzgerald Hotel, 1A Naas Road, Newlands Cross, Dublin 22, D22 X5N7, Ireland. We do not arrange pre- or post-adventure accommodation, but you can directly contact the hotel to book additional nights if needed.

Asked on June 3rd, 2025Why the difference between the websites and costs?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
Prices can sometimes differ from those listed directly on the Expat Explore website due to exclusive promotions.

Asked on May 31st, 2025Will we be able to join the walking tour at some stage that morning? Can you please provide further information and costs for the additional tour in the afternoon of 22/06/2025 and the cost for the final nights dinner on 27/06/2025?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
For your arrival, it seems that it will be a tight schedule since the Orientation Meeting/Meetup time is 10AM at the confirmed Hotel in Dublin. However, what I can recommend is that upon arrival in Dublin, you can reach out to your Tour Leader to get instructions on if you can go directly to the meet up Hotel, or meet the group along the way.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
Discover Dublin's top sights on a guided excursion with your tour leader. Begin this exciting excursion with a delicious pub lunch. Enjoy traditional Irish food and fuel up before heading across town to EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum, to learn about the Irish diaspora and the Irish influence across the world. Next, catch a coach to the Guinness Storehouse to enjoy the full Guinness experience! Finally, say sláinte with a pint of Guinness, Ireland's most iconic beer, at the Guinness Storehouse's rooftop Gravity Bar. Price: € 90 per person.
