Ireland Vacations & Trip Packages for 2026/2027

Kiernan our tour guide (born in Belfast) was great, giving us history, info and insight as only someone who truly knows the land could. Tony our driver was fun, playing Irish and American music all while driving us around safely to our many destinations.
The tour was well structured, allowing us time to see a multitude of sights. I would have liked more time in Killarney to explore the national park there and Dingle to take advantage of the boating trips out in the Atlantic, but of course we only had 11 days.
All the hotels were very clean with central locations and walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. The Lough Eske Castle Hotel was a separate and elegant experience.
Being a solo traveler, I appreciated that most nights I had the option to join the group for dinner or go off on my own.
My only negative was that the seats on the bus were not rotated. Whenever I had a question, I would have to shout it from the back of the bus.
All in all, I would highly recommend this tour. There is so much to see and do, I wish there was a 21 day tour!

We had the most amazing time on the 13 day tour, and can therefore thoroughly recommend Irish Experience Tours.
Our guide, Sean was clearly passionate about sharing his country with us, and created the perfect balance of information, laughs, entertainment and craic to make the entire experience one we haven't stopped talking about.
The tour itself was incredibly well planned and organised, leaving us feeling that we've truly seen a bit of everything Ireland has to offer. There was a good balance and use of time, as we never felt rushed nor that we were idle, and the ability to have dinners either alone or as a planned group event made for some enjoyable evenings.
Our group of 15 was very comfortable on what I feel was a larger than usual bus, and Sean was obviously attune to everyone's different needs and various requests.
Thanks Sean - the craic was surely mighty!

Such a wonderful well-rounded experience.
Everything was planned out just perfectly with ample time at all the points of interest.
We even got to see border collies herd sheep and stay in a castle. Seanie, our tour guide and driver, was a treat as well. He was able to handle 3 American hens squawking at him every chance we got. Thank you!! You will be missed.
