							I really enjoyed having Seanie as our tour guide during my trip to Ireland. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Irish history and brought it to life with his humor and wonderful storytelling. He kept us entertained with interesting stories and anecdotes along the way.

I also appreciated how well he looked after our group, offering helpful recommendations for restaurants and local pubs.

Thank you, Seanie, for making our journey through Ireland both enjoyable and memorable!

							From start to finish it was a trip of a lifetime.  We simply cannot say enough about Lee, our tour guide/bus driver.  FANTASTIC!.  Love, love, love Ireland!  There was nothing about our tour / the people and the sites that we would change.   We look forward to going back one day.

							Kiernan our tour guide (born in Belfast) was great, giving us history, info and insight as only someone who truly knows the land could.  Tony our driver was fun, playing Irish and American music all while driving us around safely to our many destinations.

The tour was well structured, allowing us time to see a multitude of sights. I would have liked more time in Killarney to explore the national park there and Dingle to take advantage of the boating trips out in the Atlantic, but of course we only had 11 days.

All the hotels were very clean with central locations and walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. The Lough Eske Castle Hotel was a separate and elegant experience.

Being a solo traveler, I appreciated that most nights I had the option to join the group for dinner or go off on my own.

My only negative was that the seats on the bus were not rotated. Whenever I had a question, I would have to shout it from the back of the bus.

All in all, I would highly recommend this tour. There is so much to see and do, I wish there was a 21 day tour!
