Ireland Vacations & Trip Packages for 2026/2027

We booked a private tour with Irish Experience Tours for a group of friends and family, and from my very first conversation with Sean through our final airport transfer, the entire experience was wonderful.

Sean made the planning process easy and helped personalize the itinerary for our group. The trip included the major sights we hoped to see, like the Cliffs of Moher, along with some unexpected highlights — one of our favorites was the sheepdog farm demonstration. We also loved all the scenic stops along the way. Ireland’s landscapes are truly spectacular, and the coastal drives, castles and cathedrals made every day memorable.

Our small bus was perfect for the group — comfortable seats, plenty of leg room and WiFi.

The hotels were also very well chosen, with a nice variety that included charming village hotels, a castle stay and a beautiful resort and spa in Killarney. And of course, every morning started with a hearty Irish breakfast!

A trip like this really depends on having the right guide, and we absolutely did. Des was fantastic and such a great fit for our rather boisterous group. He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and a wonderful storyteller. He also became our unofficial meteorologist, adjusting our days whenever possible to take advantage of the best weather and avoid the famous “Irish mist.”

For many of us, this truly was a trip of a lifetime. I’m so grateful to Sean, Des and the entire Irish Experience Tours team for taking such good care of us from beginning to end.

I would absolutely recommend this company. They offer so many different itineraries and experiences — the hardest part may simply be deciding which Irish adventure to choose!

My Ireland tour with Irish experience tours was marvelous. From the expertise and timeliness of responses from Sean at the front office, through the fantastic guidance of Kieran, and of Tony, our driver. This trip was well planned, very well guided, and just a lot of fun

The experience was amazing. It was a group of only 16 and we had a nice-sized bus with plenty of space. Our tour guide, Lee, really made the trip. He had great knowledge of all the areas in Ireland where we visited, and he was extremely entertaining, kind and friendly. I can't say enough about him. The tour was a great value also compared to some of the other tours I have taken. You won't be disappointed if you choose Irish Experience.
