What people love about Munster Tours
- Taste of Ireland (Tour C) - 5 Days/4 Nights
Eamonn was an excellent guide/driver. He was friendly, professional and entertaining. Our tour was especially fun because of him. The hotel staff at every stop was very helpful and friendly. We especially liked the breakfast at Grand Canal in Dublin, the hotel room at Killarney, and tea at Bunratty. Great trip!!
- 5-Day Escape to the South West Small-Group Tour from Dublin
We really enjoyed this tour. Good itinerary every day with stops timed to avoid long stretches on the bus. Our driver/guide was excellent and added a lot to the experience. The bus was comfortable and not too large (16 people max) which allowed us to go places that large coaches couldn’t. Highly recommended.
- 8 Day Castles & Coast Experience - Small Group Tour
Great tour, got to see a lot of sites in the small amount of time we had. Small intimate group and the accommodations are excellent;well located and a hearty breakfast each morning. Definitely recommend despite the typical Irish weather but that's obviously unavoidable :) thanks Sean for a fun trip!
