11 Day Ultimate Experience My husband and I just finished the 11‑Day Ultimate Experience Tour, a full loop around Ireland, and it was absolutely fantastic. Kieran and Tony, our guide and driver, were exceptional hosts — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about sharing Ireland’s story.
This small‑group tour was the perfect blend of history, culture, and local insight. We loved the relaxed atmosphere, the thoughtful pacing, and the chance to experience so many parts of Ireland. The history and local knowledge they shared added so much depth to every stop, making each day memorable.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore so much of Ireland in one trip.

Perfect tour of south West Ireland and perfect time frame with the Irish Experience. Austin our tour guide took great care of us and we felt we experienced the true Ireland, going to small places and local pubs as well as the major attractions. We travelled down small country roads with our little bus which larger buses were unable to travel - definitely recommend this small group tour - we met lovely people

Beautiful country with a lot of history The trip was awesome and our tour guide, Anthony, really made it special. He is a wealth of information regarding the nature & beauty of the country along with it's history. He knew everything!!! Especially the weather!
The country is really beautiful and this particular trip (13 days) covered everything! In a small van we were able to go where the big busses couldn't go. But the van is Not small. Plenty of room. You won't regreat taking this tour!!!! Wear good walking shoes!

Irish Experience Tours was a perfect choice. We had a 5 day tour in the South coast of Ireland . We were a family of 5 from the USA and in the tour traveling with us was a wonderful couple from Britain. Together we traveled to
Kinsale , toured the Rock of Cashel
And Cahir Castle. We kissed
the Blarney rock and walked its beautiful Gardens. Killarney and The Mighty Cliffs of Moher were great . We visited a sheep farm . The sights were breath taking .
And the cherry on top was our wonderful tour guide Austin . In our group of 9 we had 3 elderly . Austin was kind and patient with us all . He was knowledgeable and caring . We can’t thank him enough for making our experience an exceptional one . We love Ireland . Thank Austin and Irish Experience Tours 🇮🇪 ❤️

Our group of two Australian couples just completed an extremely enjoyable 11 day tour of Ireland with our very experienced driver and guide Lee. His passion for his beautiful country is infectious, as was our laughter with his banter. The variety of bed and breakfast accommodation was clean and comfortable and satisfied our expectations. Lee ensured that our group of 15 travellers from three countries bonded very nicely, in fact, we often chose to dine together. When we return to the beautiful Ireland, we would have no hesitation in choosing Irish Experience again.

An Incredible Irish Experience!! This was definitely a 5+Star experience! We did the 7 Day Atlantic Way Tour which started and ended in Dublin. Our tour leader/driver, Austin, did an amazing job taking care of every detail to ensure all the travelers in our group were happy and comfortable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, and entertaining a perfect guide and driver!! The tour included stays in Kinsale, Kilarney, Dingle, and Galway and experiences such as Celtic Steps and a sheep herding demonstration. Both these additional experiences were incredible and not to be missed! We chose this 7 day tour because it included two 2 night stays, which made the pacing perfect for us. If you’re looking for an experience that is filled with Irish culture, natural beauty, and Irish fun and laughter, then this Irish Experience tour for you. I highly recommend this company and this tour without any hesitation.

We aren’t really a couple that go on organised tours, but took a chance by signing up for a 10 day Wild Irish Experience Tour. What a fantastic experience it was, seeing and experiencing the best of what Ireland has to offer, under the stewardship our very witty (just ask him!) and very Irish tour guide and driver Mark with a small group of friendly like-minded international travellers. We especially loved the coastal towns of Westport and Dingle, and even enjoyed a few Guinnesses watching the All-Ireland Hurling and Senior Football Championship finals (Go Mayo!) at quaint pubs along the way. We would do another tour with Irish Experience Tours (and of course Mark) in a heartbeat!
