What We Do

A laugh a minute! The tour was wonderful. The guide was extremely attentive to everyone’s needs and wishes and provided excellent advice and commentary throughout. The sires visited were great and varied making for a most enjoyable experience.

Ten of the best travel days of my entire 70+ years Ten of the best travel days of my entire 70+ years spent with Sean Potter ,guide/owner of Irish Experience Tours...loved Ireland and really enjoyed his knowledge of his nation as well as his ability to obtain whatever we on the tour requested...his new catch phrase when you asked him for something..."I know a guy"...Great B&B's and hotels..fine locations...oh, great weather,too!

A wonderful way to see so much of Ireland. We had an incredible time traveling around Ireland on the 13-Day Full Irish Experience tour. I loved not having to worry about planning an itinerary or accommodations for such a long trip, which helped us really enjoy our vacation. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and flexible with providing options for day activities to suit different interests. Despite Covid times, nearly all attractions were still open (with mask, social distancing, and vaccination card requirements), and we were definitely not short on things to do. Truly and amazing experience - 100% would recommend!

No stress way to see the Wild Atlantic Way Highly recommend this trip. Great way to see highlights along the absolutely stunning Wild Atlantic Way. Scenery was gorgeous, guide was fun and knowledgeable, accommodations were comfortable, daily activities could be customized based on your interest - great mix of activity and leisure time. I traveled during summer 2021, with Covid restrictions still in place. Though the Irish nightlife may not have been on full display as a result, I have no regrets about proceeding with taking the trip. One I’ll remember for a lifetime. I was a solo traveler and being part of this small group felt like a little family.

One great trip We couldn’t be happier with our recent trip to Ireland. We toured the beautiful wild Atlantic Way with a small group. Sean went above and beyond our expectations and made our experience one for the books. We may have found it too cold to kayak or paddle board at this the end of September but I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes the chance to be active while on vacation. I think my favorite activity was the sheepdog demonstration. The family who owned the farm gave us a taste of local flavor. It was really special. In the evenings Sean often made suggestions on things to do in area during our free time. Like I said, he went above and beyond and it made our trip ever so enjoyable.

Phenomenal Trip!! I chose the 8 DAY WILD IRISH CASTLES EXPERIENCE--and what an experience! I loved the small-group tour; we had 11 in our group, which was perfect for getting to know everyone. Sean went above and beyond to make sure that we had the opportunity to see and do everything on our checklist. The tour was variable enough to accommodate both those who wanted to do a ton of hiking and those who wanted to keep the walking to a minimum. Even though this wasn't exactly a hiking tour, Sean encouraged everyone to do the Cliffs of Moher hike, and I'm SO GLAD he did--it was definitely a highlight of the trip. I also highly recommend traveling in later September/October--the huge tour buses are basically done for the year, and there were times when I was hiking that there was no one else around. It was just magical. I would book again with Irish Experience Tours in a second!

BEST TRIP EVER! Most amazing trip EVER!! Sean, owner and our driver/guide, was FIRST RATE! He made the trip so interesting and fun. His knowledge was excellent. He accommodated extra requests. Though sometimes on a tight schedule (because of something booked/timed), he never made us feel rushed. He made sure that we had a full “ Irish Experience “ including great pub ideas, Irish music experiences, great restaurant suggestions, etc. We had plenty of time on our own and sleep in time as well! We really can’t recommend this trip/company any higher. They are FANTASTIC!!!

Great trip with some very nice people Cliffs of moher! Very impressive to see. Also had a great and fun time between locations with the t

Wonderful trip Had an amazing adventure with this tour, perfect for young people trying to see everything Ireland has to offer. Tour guide was super informative and made the trip feel very personal. Every town and B&B we stayed in was perfect, clean and well taken care of. My favorite part was visiting the sheep farm, which was an unexpected surprise. It was a great trip and would use this company again.

Great Customer Service! The team was fantastic in responding and working with me on my travel issue. Highly recommend. My review is about the team and company when working through booking issues, not a specific trip. They were respectful and communicative. Always important when working with a tour company!

I had such a wonderful time on my 7 day adventure. Highly recommend. Sean was the best!

We had a wonderful trip. The scenery was everything I hoped for and our tour took us to some amazing places. With a small group it was easy to adjust our itinerary to our interests. Every bed and breakfast was cute and clean. I would definitely go on tour with them again

This is the way to see Ireland! My pal and I were blown away by the quality and sheer fun of our tour with Irish Experience. I know Ireland well, and it was my friend’s first time visiting, and we both found each day to be exactly what we wanted. Our guide, Aidan, is unbelievably good at mixing stories from Irish history, current events, and cool connections that kept us asking questions, laughing, and learning all day. Even though the weather wobbled between foggy/cloudy/drizzly/clear most of the tour, we were able to do an incredible range of things. It was a BLAST. We spent most of the time climbing around sites and walking — and Aidan was completely flexible about including everything we asked to see, whether it was on the day’s agenda or not. We stopped for coffee, lunch, and toilets when we wanted to. His professionalism, humour, patience, and knowledge made him exactly who we needed. Booking the trip was seamless. It was worth every penny. This is the trip you want!

His professionalism, humor, patience, and knowledge made him exactly who we needed. Booking the trip was seamless, and we were picked up and dropped off right at our hotel exactly as we arranged. It was worth every penny. This is the trip you want!

Highlight of our trip to Ireland! My mom and I loved everything about this tour! Sean showed us a perfect mix of both popular and off the beaten path attractions. He had great suggestions for hikes and other activities and gave us many opportunities for photo stops. All of our accommodations were comfortable and had great breakfasts. Highly recommend!

Great trip! I did the Southwest tour through Ireland and I really enjoyed it. We traveled with a nice small group, only 9 people, and the great guide Aidan. Aidan is easy going, very friendly and knows a lot about his country. If I were his employer I would give him a raise. I recommend the sunset kayaking tour. Due to good weather conditions we could go all the way to the end, into the caves and we saw Fungi the dolphin. Awesome! I also enjoyed Killarney and the entire west coast, including the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, the island of Inisheer (Inis Oirr) and Galway. I was the only one in the group who had the hostel option where I also met many other people. It was a journey to remember. One comment: check the itinerary. The whole group thought there was only 1 night in Killarney, but we stayed 2 nights at the same location. No probleem, but it would have been nice to know in advance, since we were now ready with packed bags, while that was not necessary.

Highlight of our trip, Thank you Rory! We did the private 1 day Dingle peninsula tour (from Killarney) with Rory. I recommend this to any group or family. If you want something more than sitting in a bus all day, this is for you. Rory took us off the beaten path for an adventurous day. There was no pressure, no rush. He was full of wonderful commentary and conversation. He got a good feel for our family and made suggestions, and he was open to requests too. This is a private tour and he was very flexible. We loved the town of dingle so much, we spent time there twice, once for a little shopping, the other for a late lunch/early dinner meal. The Slea Head hike was breathtaking, and the beach was astounding (bring towels and baby powder to get the fine sand off your feet). Rory actually took us to 2 beaches that day (we had unbelievable weather). Countless little hikes, vistas, waterfalls, bouldering. Our family ranged from ages 9 to 54. Do this tour, and ask for Rory.

Great tour This was a great tour. Being a small group, the guide was flexible and accommodated whenever possible. We hit off the path hikes, as well as the major highlights. We were told of the attractions in each area and where to find things. I felt really looked after.

Wow...What a Terrific Tour! What a terrific tour we had. We were fortunate to get Sean for this tour and he did a wonderful job throughout our trip. Sean met us as we got off the ship with a perfect sized tour bus (we all had our own seats!). He drove us everywhere we had planned on going and even added a few "bonus stops"! The highlight, of course, was the Cliffs of Moher which proved to be so much more spectacular "in person". Throughout the trip, Sean kept us entertained with what we were seeing and his incredible sense of humor. Everyone in our 14 person party mentioned that they had a terrific time on this tour!

13 Day Full Irish Experience If you like off the beaten path and spectacular hikes, this is the tour for you. We saw some of the key sights, like the Rock of Cashel and the Cliffs of Moher, which are famous for a reason, but we also hiked around a glacier lake that was unbelievably gorgeous and we were the only ones there!

Relaxing and informative I have used Irish Experience twice and both times had very friendly and engaging tour drivers, who made the trips interesting and stress free. So nice to not have to do our own driving, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful countryside.

Spectacular Country -- Spectacular Guides! We were picked up in Dublin by Sean Power and four days later when we arrived in Killarney we'd had the best possible introduction to this magnificent country by a man who, like all great Irish, loves his country with a passion --- a passion he is driven to share.

While wanting to show us Ireland, he was wonderful in digging deep to find out what it was we'd like to do, what our priorities were. He quickly picked up that we might like a castle, but stopping on a rural road to walk, say hello to a herd of cows, feed a carrot to a horse, check a hardware store, meet people, --- including a visit to a rural funeral director's office and small pubs and restaurants, --- a lingering breakfast to visit with table mates, stopping at a rural boat launch to talk to a local farmer about workers from other EU countries, beat castles hands down and he sourced these, and many other wonderful experiences. He took us places we'd never have found on our own, and every day we covered four, five, six times what we'd have been able to on our own. Best of all we are pleased and proud to call Sean 'friend' as, I'm sure, countless others who have traveled Ireland with him before us.

In Killarney my bird watching wife wanted to have a taste of the Wild Atlantic Way and the wildlife so Sean turned us over to Anthony who not only excels as a tour guide --- he's also a wildlife expert seeming to know every bird and flower along the coast. Again magical days with a man we are also now proud and pleased to call friend.

Along with individual bespoke touring Irish Experience Tours has tours for groups which I'm sure are also, as much as possible, tailored to group needs and wishes.

When we return to Ireland, our first call will be to Sean Power to see when we might be toured by him and/or his team. That will dictate when we book air, not the other way round.

Thank you Irish Experience Tours. You made Ireland, and the Irish people, come alive for us and so welcome we felt we'd truly come home although it's been 200 years since our ancestors departed for Canada.

3 day wild Atlantic way tour Great trip. Went to Galway, Westport, aran Island, Cliffs of Moor. I climbed Crogh Patrick that was great. The whole trip was good. Anthony our guide was great.

South & West Ireland Anthony was our primary driver for our 9-day custom tour of south & west Ireland - including the Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry, Achill Island and more. But he is more than an expert driver!! His expertise in environmental sciences - wildlife, birds, plant life, etc. - added so much to our experience of Ireland, while his personality endeared him to all.

Good Tour Guide and Scenery Lovely scenery on this tour and Aiden was a great guide, joking and offering generous commentary about Irish culture and snippets and opportunities for photo stops, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We booked with this agency because of the small bus tour group and the promise of a hike. Despite the cloudy weather, the 1.5h hike did not disappoint and was a highlight for us - spectacular views and we much prefer this than additional short photo stops. He offered helpful assistance with our drop-off in a town en route to Cork, which we appreciated.

Dingle tour I have an amazing time going into the Dingle tour with the Irish Experience! What I love the most about their tours is that you don't only go to the main attraction of the place, but also to few other places in the way, which makes the trip zero tedious. We went to a local beach near Dingle, we stopped to take pictures of the astonishing views of the lakes in Kerry and we took a walk in Dunmore Hear, which is a Stars Wars location with an absolutely beautiful view of the sea.
I went by myself which wasn't a problem at all because the guys make you feel at home. The driver was very nice and told us the the story of the places we went.
I would definetely travel with them again!

Galway and Aran Islands tour This tour was awesome, we got to see Connemara national park and explore the Aran islands. The hostel we stayed in was nice, and I loved being able to go out in Galway city center. I’d definitely recommend, as the views were beautiful and the driver made the ride fun!

Cliffs of Moher Im definitely recommend them, I had one of the best experience, the prices are good and the have a lot of different options to choose

Dingle Peninsula Had thr most amazing time at the Dingle Peninsula! Beautiful views, and Sean did a wonderul job leading everyone!

Excellent way to see Ireland's best This day was like something out of a picture book. Not only were the Cliffs of Moher absolutely stunning and the weather marvellous, but the whole experience was amazing. From the pickup, the bathroom breaks at exactly the right time, snacking opportunities to the fascinating stops at Bunratty Castle and the beautiful Lahinch beach. The Atlantic Edge Walk was adrenaline-filled and exhilarating with new rugged view around every bend of the path. Simply breathtaking (quite literally thanks to the wind).

Cliffs of Moher I loved the trip especially the hiking part! It really felt a lot less touristy and we were able to be independent while still getting the advantages of a tour guide!

Cliffs of Moher/Ring of Kerry The Irish Experience Tours have been amazing. After a great trip to The Cliffs of Moher, I signed up for another tour to The Ring of Kerry. The guides made the tours both interesting and fun. Overall it was a wonderful time!

MARVELOUS TOUR AT THE CLIFFS OF MOHER (20/01/2019) This tour was all I could ask for and more! The Cliff's atmosphere is dreamy, indescribable beauty. And Sean and Anthony are the most funny guides.
Absolutely recommended, a must to if you're a tourist (or not).

Breathtaking Views This trip is a great inexpensive way to explore the Cliffs and get an opportunity to walk at your own pace in the security of a large group. I went with my flatmates and met some awesome tour guides whose personalities added another dimension to the overall experience. The bus was clean and the trip was comfortable and fun. I would recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy company to take them to this great attraction.

Surprisingly Sunny Day at the Cliffs of Moher On the way to the cliffs, we stopped by Bunratty Castle and Blarney Woolen Mills as well as the surfing town of Lahinch for bathroom/snack breaks. Both were great places to stop for photo opportunities or to find a postcard. The tour guides are also great at keeping things interesting during the ride with interesting stories about Ireland. Sights were absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend a tour with them. Only warning is that the Atlantic Edge Walk is very muddy and can be slippery. Just be prepared to possibly slip and get a little muddy, but definitely worth it!

Pure, raw beauty I would recommend everyone who spends some time in Ireland to visit the Cliffs of Moher. The pure, raw beauty of nature that I witnessed there is something you can't capture in words or pictures. Irish Experience tours made the 2,5 hour busdrive a very pleasant experience as well, with lots of jokes, local fun facts and music, both traditional Irish and more modern songs everyone knew. Would highly recommend.

Great trip!!! This was my first trip planned with Irish Experience Tours and my friends and I had a great time! The guides were amazing, so friendly and also provided so many interesting facts and stories about Ireland. Definitely recommend booking something with them as they did not disappoint.

Breathtaking Tour!! I had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were super nice and funny and the views were spectacular. We had plenty of time to take it all in. It was a beautiful day!! Each stop was different and fun and the Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking. 10/10 recommend.

The cliffs of moher This tour was amazing!! It was a long drive to the cliffs, but it was worth it! We had so much fun with all of the international students. First we had a bus stop near a beautiful castle and later on we started climbing the cliffs. It was a walk from around 2 hours in the fresh air.
I would really recommend it!

Awesome Cliffs of Moher Day Trip My friend and I did the Cliffs of Moher day tour and we both had an awesome experience. It was affordable, and it took us to some out of the way spots we wouldn’t have thought to go to otherwise. The tour guides were really funny and made the bus ride fun. It was also better because they didn’t make you stay in a group the whole time and you were able to do the walk at your own pace. I’ve already booked another future tour through them and will probably do it again.

1 Day Cliffs of Moher - Highly Recommend It!! Everything was done for us, which was fantastic - loved not having to worry about planning everything out! Lovely little village stop for breakfast with a gorgeous castle, and then another beautiful stop in a surfing town right before arriving at the Cliffs of Moher. The relaxed nature of the tour allowed for everyone to go at their own pace, and this was nice to be able to stop and take pictures at our leisure. Plenty of time was allocated for the walk and to grab a quick bite before leaving. Tour guides were funny and entertaining, and made the rides there and back more enjoyable.

Cliffs of Moher tour!! This tour was an incredible experience!! It was lead by two fantastic guides (Anthony and Sean) who were very informative about the journey and love their beautiful country very much! I highly recommend spending your weekends abroad with this company!

Cliffs of Moher Studying abroad in Ireland and visited the Cliffs of Moher through the Irish experience tours. It was ana amazing trip and had lots of time to walk around at our own pace and take lots of wonderful photos.

The Irish Experience! I went with the Irish Experience Tours on their Galway, Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands tour. I had the best time of my life! The tourguide was really nice and was thinking ahead. He would change the order in which we were planned to go to the different places so we would be able to visit everything with the best possible conditions. They take you to all the best places in the neighbourhood and there is enough free time to do whatever you want to! They take you on walks through beautiful nature, which is nice because you have to sit on a bus a lot. It is good to stretch your legs for a minute!
I can definitely recommend going on this trip, especially outside of the tourist season, because it is really quite everywhere and it feels as if you are alone in the world. The groups in which the tours are given are also really small, around 20 people, which is really nice. You don't feel like cattle.
The only downside of this trip was that it was raining a lot, but that is out of the hands of the tourguides. And it only added to the true Irish Experience!
I had an amazing time and would like to thank Irish Experience tours for making that happen.
