What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Ireland Wild Atlantic Way
- Focus on Ireland (Classic)
The itinerary stated that we would see the bottom third of Ireland and visiting various places en route but there were places that it would have been nice to see but were missed out, parts on the ring of Kerry, the Wicklow mountains , the Irish Stud farm in Kildare, a proper tour of Dublin - due to arriving at the various hotels too early - therefore a bit more planning at the start of the tour would mean that more sights would be seen and ensure that the driver did not exceed his EU driving hours.
- Introduction to Ireland
an excellent tour -- really enjoyed every aspect -- especially appreciated the historial commentary proved by Hugh -- he was fabulous!!! exceptional - the various tour stops and experiences along the way everything ran perfectly on time and both Hugh and Don (the driver) very friendly and polite..real pro's
- Best of the West
Great trip! As with all coach trips, can feel a little rushed at times but great way to see a lot in a short time!
