						We highly recommend Irish Experience Tour Company. May 24-31 2025

All 11 members of our private group tour felt the same at the conclusion of the week, what an incredible experience! We chose the Castles and Coasts tour with a few modifications and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Our guide, Noel, shared his Irish wit along with his incredible knowledge of Ireland’s history, culture, and geography. He offered entertainment, education, and a lot of suggestions regarding places to eat, pubs for music, alternative stops for sights and other tips on making the most of the time we had at each destination. We also had a great day with Chris, who filled in on the day we drove Slea Head. The landscapes, towns, pubs, and people with a back drop of sun, clouds, wind and rain all made our time there so memorable. We found the Irish Experience Tour company to be organized, flexible and fun. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and easy to see out of. The hotels were all in great locations and our daily schedule was mutually agreed upon each day. We highly recommend this company.

						Our private tour of Ireland with our guide, Anthony, was incredible. The weather was perfect and the itinerary that we created with Sean worked out very well. Anthony made a few minor changes as he got to know us and what we enjoyed. All the accommodations and breakfasts were very good and the transportation in a larger van gave us plenty of room. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend Irish Experiences.
