Cultural Tour Company Of The Year 2024

			
							After 38 cruises and countless vacations, this was the best experience we have had!!!  The itinerary was thoughtfully planned to ensure that we saw the “essential” places and sites while still being a relaxing trip.  Anthony (our guide and driver) was FANTASTIC!!!  He took the time to get to know each member of the group and curated the sightseeing to make sure that the tour was enjoyable for all.  He was very knowledgeable about the geography and history of Ireland.  HIGHLY recommend!!!

							Amazing tour and Anthony the guide and driver was lovely and really made the trip perfect. Unfortunately I needed to leave the tour earlier than expected due to a family emergency but both Anthony and Sean were really supportive with this and I’m sure I will return in the future on another tour with them. Great experience and lovely meeting all the other people on the tour, it was a lovely group of people and even though I had to leave early I loved the first couple of days and everything we saw while there

							I recently went on a 7-day tour with Irish Experience Tours (IET). I can't express how fabulous the tour was. Not only did we see the usual sites of Ireland, but Anthony showed us places that I would have never found had I not been on this tour. IET and Anthony kept the tour on track while providing individual care for a few members of our group who experienced family emergencies. From seeing the beauty of Ireland, to making friends along the way, Irish Experience Tours and Anthony have set the bar extremely high for any future tours.
