Irish Experience Tours Reviews | Guest Experiences & Testimonials

The Irish Experience Tour I took, 7 day Wild Atlantic Way, exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Lee Jones was a wealth of information about the history of Ireland, the landscapes, Irish myths, recommended places to eat along our journey, plus he was genuinely interested in our satisfaction with the tour. I enjoyed all the small towns we visited, and the sites and activities we participated in. We stayed in charming B&B’s which were all pretty close to the town center. I highly recommend Irish Experience Tours.

This is a great tour choice to experience the Wild Atlantic Way, Aran Islands, ancient history and quaint towns like Kinsale, Dingle, Killarney. Our tour leader was very knowledgeable and informative including recommendations of where to eat and where to hear Irish music. If you like Irish dancing Celtic Steps - the show is for you. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour The 13-day Full Irish Experience Tour was wonderful. This trip exceeded my expectations and I have already recommended it to friends interested in traveling to Ireland. The itinerary is fabulous, visiting all the usual locations you think of when you think of Ireland. In addition, due to the smaller group and smaller van, we were able to get off the main roads, heading down small roads to beautiful sights and treasures that only someone with in depth knowledge of the country has. The B&Bs and other accommodations were excellent, well located and comfortable. Our guide, Anthony, is the main reason this trip was so great. He drove the van across the country while educating the group on the often troubled history of the country in addition to keeping us entertained with music and humor. His expertise and knowledge allowed him to provide excellent recommendations for activities, food, and experiences in each location. If you are considering traveling with Irish Experience Tours, go for it. You will not regret it.

Touring Western Ireland We had a wonderful time on our 6 day tour. Austin and Kieran were wonderful guides, and made our trip so enjoyable with their knowledge of the history of western Ireland as well as their fun stories and jokes. My husband and I were traveling with two friends, and we met some lovely new friends in our tour group. We wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely return for another Irish Adventure Tours.

Irish experience with lots of twists Our guide Anthony really made the whole trip a great experience of culture, history, music, wonderful scenery and learning about contemporary Ireland. His enthusiasm for his country shone through and all the added surprises which took us off the usual tourist routes were a bonus. Our accommodation was great and access to live music in little pubs a highlight. Highly recommended Irish Experience tours.

Our 7-day small passenger tour through Ireland was an unforgettable experience filled with history, culture, breathtaking scenery, and warm Irish hospitality. Traveling with a smaller group made the trip feel personal and relaxed, allowing us to truly enjoy each destination and connect with fellow travelers along the way.

From quaint Kinsale to the coastal beauty of Dingle, every stop offered something unique. Galway was lively and full of music and culture, while Killarney’s national park we biked through was so peaceful. Our guide, Sean, shared stories and historical insights that brought Ireland’s past and traditions to life.

The highlight of the entire trip was visiting Blarney Stone and kissing the famous stone — such a fun and memorable experience. And the gardens there are beautiful too.

This tour was the perfect blend of sightseeing, culture, history, and relaxation. We left Ireland with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for the country, and hopes to return again someday.

10/10 I would highly recommend this tour and tour agency. Being a planner type person myself , I looked at about 20 different agencies and I went with this company because it had all the activities I wanted to do in Ireland , fair price and small group size. All the day itineraries were planned perfectly location and time wise. I never felt like I was waiting around or losing time. Also another great fear I had was not having a bathroom on the bus but we did stop about every 2 hours to do an activity so there was no concern there. Finally I was concerned with a group trip but everyone was so nice, kept up with all the activities and was on time for the bus as well! I think if we did our own driving , or booking we definitely would have not gotten done everything done and not have been able to experience the night life as well. It is hard to say what my favorite experience was from castles, kissing the Blarney Stone, seeing sheepdogs in action, feeding baby lambs, horse back riding, cliffs of moher, and Connemara to name a few. Sean was a great bus driver, to all the stories, music and knowing where all the picture perfect areas were. The craic was grand 🍀🍻🇮🇪

I was on the 7 day tour with my wife, our first time in Ireland. We had not done a group tour on any trip and were curious to see the difference vs. Planning our own itinerary as usual. Sean picked us up in Dublin and we headed to Kinsale. The accommodations were nice and I liked how everywhere we stayed was walking distance from the major pubs and activities and also included breakfast. We got to know the people on our bus and ended up becoming friends over too many pints 🙂 . Cahir castle and rock of cashel started us off on Irish history, really cool to see such old buildings with so much history. We headed to Killarney and Blarney castle and gardens. So much more than just the stone that we all knew about. Saw a really cool Irish dance and music show - Celtic steps. Sean drove us along Slea head drive and we had stunning views of other islands and cliffs along the coast. Back in Dingle, Had some delicious fish chowder with the freshest ingredients, did horseback riding and a boat tour, saw many great musicians at the pubs, and met some hilarious characters hanging out late night. Our last couple nights was in Galway which had a younger crowd and was busy into the night with rock n roll at Sally Longs and trad music at Tig Cioli. Really cool scene at a historical city. Overall this was such a great experience for our first bus tour and Sean was attentive and entertaining with his stories of history and background behind the songs we listened to while enjoying the scenic drives between stops.
