We found this trip to be a good balance between seeing the top spots and then having time on our own to appreciate them.This trip incorporated the key places we were interested in. It offered a comfortable balance of time driving, sightseeing and rest breaks. Anthony's passion for the geography of this area and his knowledge of its history meant we felt connected to this land. He listened to the needs of the group and was inclusive and adaptable. It was clear he wanted everyone to have a great experience. Anthony gave great advice about the little things that mean so much; where to eat, where the music will be and where the toilets are! He was fun, entertaining and personable and a great tour leader. Would recommend. Five stars!

Thinking back, it really was the best trip of my life. Our tour was so well organized, we saw stunning landscapes, towns, architecture. Rooms, bus, food and our group was wonderful. Sean our driver guide is so funny he kept us laughing. He was constantly trying to meet our needs, make sure we were having fun and stay on schedule. Ireland is beautiful, friendly, clean, modern and there is music everywhere. 40 shades of green. During our journey Sean would share stories of the region or town we were going to and then he'd play a song. There's an Irish song for everything. He taught us some Gaelic and words to some songs and sometimes the whole bus would be singing. We were so happy. I highly recommend this trip.

Amazing 10 day tour of Ireland This was our first small group tour and our first bus tour. Our driver Lee set a real high bar for future travels. He seemed to have a magical knack for always getting us wherever we were going ahead of the crowds and was super personable to talk to during the driving portions. He was so knowledgeable about anything we might ask during the trip (and the patience of a saint, lol). The company had a similar group traveling on another bus and I met the driver of that bus, Anthony, and he also seemed like a great guy to chat with. After having seen the roads in Ireland first hand, I can't recommend enough going with a bus tour and I find it hard to imagine you would find a better tour operator than these guys. Thanks for the amazing vacation!
