Cultural Tour Company Of The Year 2024

			
							Our Irish Experience Tour was truly exceptional. Anthony was a fantastic guide—kind, friendly, and so intuitive about what the group needed. He balanced storytelling, humor, surprises, and quiet moments beautifully, and his rapport with the locals added so much charm to the experience. We could feel how much thought went into every detail, from the hotel selections to the daily itineraries. We saw and experienced so much of Ireland, and we’re so glad we chose this tour. Highly recommend!

							Where to start?  We recently completed the 5 Day South Coast Tour with Irish Experience Tours. While this was a shorter tour than most would choose, our guide, Anthony, provided so many experiences and so much information, that we fell deeply in love with the country and its culture. From traditional "bucket list" sites to unexpected surprise locations, Anthony managed it all, with stops and narratives covering history & culture, castles, cemetaries & abbeys, waterfalls & beaches, flora & fauna, birds & wildlife, Celtic dancing, and an incredible sheepdog experience (special thanks to Bridget & Seamus.)

Anthony created a friendly  and relaxing environment  blending together the 10 of us from 4 different sets of travelers to further enhance our collective experience.

Thank you to Irish Experience Tours, and to Anthony, for an amazing trip!

							⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience – Highly Recommend!

I just finished a 7-day tour of Ireland with Irish Experience Tours, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation I had. From start to finish, everything was organized, thoughtful, and full of authentic Irish charm.

Our guide, Anthony, truly made the trip unforgettable. His knowledge of Irish history, culture, and hidden gems was remarkable, but what really stood out was his passion for sharing it all with us. He had that perfect balance of professionalism and humor, you could tell he genuinely cared about everyone having a great experience. Every day felt effortless, even with so many sights packed in, because Anthony handled every detail so smoothly.

We visited breathtaking landscapes, cozy local towns, ancient ruins, and lively pubs and yet never felt rushed. I loved the mix of famous landmarks and lesser-known spots that made the tour feel personal and unique. The pacing was perfect, the bus was comfortable, and the accommodations were lovely throughout.

The  tour gave me a deep appreciation for Ireland, not just its scenery, but its spirit and people. I can’t imagine exploring the country any other way.

If you’re thinking about seeing Ireland, book with Irish Experience Tours — and if you’re lucky enough to get Anthony as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. 💚🇮🇪
