Optional excursions as sold to us by tour guide, Steen, was completely misrepresented and overpriced. When I tried speaking to Steen about my concerns I was talked down to in a demeaning and patronizing manner. This prompted me to cancel all remaining excursions as I cannot guarantee they will be anything as described by Steen. So upset by this tour.Show more

Elaine
Asked on September 12th, 2025Would it be possible for me to opt out of the portions of the itinerary that include Dublin, Kilkenny, and Waterford, and rejoin the group from Newport instead? If so, could you please let me know whether any adjustment or discount to the tour cost would be available under these circumstances?
CostsaverOperator•Written September 2025You are welcome to rejoin the tour in Newport; however, please be aware that the cost of the trip remains unchanged. Since this is a packaged itinerary with fixed pricing, any missed portions do not qualify for a discount or adjustment. Additionally, you will need to make your own travel arrangements to reach Newport and join the group.
