- Taste of Ireland (Tour D) - 6 Days/5 Nights (8 destinations)
We just returned from a tour to Ireland May 13 - May 23, this was booked through World of Travel, Columbus Ohio, USA. We traveled from Dublin to Killarney, around the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula, Gap of Dunloe and Kingscourt. As the group leaders of 45 of our bank travel customers, we wanted to personally provide you with feedback. The entire trip exceeded our expectations! Ireland is beautiful, and it is understandable why it is called "The Emerald Island! It was not only the beauty and the people, but our driver/guide, Frankie Mulchaney that put this trip over the top! His driving skills, musical talent, and great stories provided exceptional service to all of us. He provided the highest level of service tailored to meet individual needs of each customer, getting to know each of them by name and offering personal attention. You have a keeper in Frankie Mulchaney, his passion for that part of the country was quite evident.

Breakfast was more than plentiful. The dinners were tasty and fun. The itinerary was well planned and the stops broke up the journey very nicely. Highly recommend!
