Cultural Tour Company Of The Year 2024
Irish Experience tours is exceptional. The Bus is clean, comfortable, and small groups are the way to go.We're on and off the buses quickly for quick stops and much more flexible in where we could go and stop.
We upgraded accommodations solely for the elevators. One of our group was in the B& B's and loved them as well. Breakfasts were exceptional at every stop. The food in Ireland is amazing everywhere. If you're a beer lover you'll learn the joys of Irelands low alcohol beers that are some of the best I've ever had. Pub stops are one of the attractions. Irish people love to talk and you'll learn so much over a few pints and probably have a few new friends before you leave. Don't judge any pub by the outside. some of the best don't exactly look the best.
The people. As I said, they love to talk. We met so many nice Irish people who were so engaging and fun to talk to. We met some great people on our tour and became friends.
Irish Experience tours are well deserved of the 5 stars. Communication was excellent and any concerns were immediately addressed. The 13 day tour was a whirlwind. We saw and did so much.
No review would be complete with the one part that can make or break a tour. The guide. Anthony was our spirit guide for the trip. He was funny, informative, full of stories and history and an incredible driver capable of squeezing a big bus through many ,many small places. We can't thank Anthony enough. He truly is a gem and make sure you check out his incredible pictures he's taken over the years.
Slainte!
We visited the sights and towns along the Wild Atlantic Way. Our trip took us to the lovely towns of Westport, Dingle and Kilkenny, just to name a few. Our accommodations in each town were excellent and included full breakfasts. We visited the beautiful Kylemoore Abby and its spectacular gardens. We spent an afternoon in exploring the shops in Galway and enjoying the oysters. The sheepdog demonstration was fun and educational. The castles, abbeys and cathedrals all hold the stories of the complicated and violent history of Ireland. The landscape is breathtaking! My favorite ride was down the Slea Head Peninsula Drive. The beauty of Ireland is unparalleled. Its lush green terrain is dotted with sheep and cows. I felt like I was witnessing a living history, something ancient and still alive.
I highly recommend this trip and our amazing guide, Lee Jones.
