100% Pure Irish 'Craic'




This tour features lots of castles, abbeys, scenery and back roads. You get enough time at each stop to take in the experience without being rushed. Evenings are spent in towns with good B&Bs, restaurants, pubs, and shops. You'll have plenty of time to explore and hear the local musicians.
Our tour guide, Lee, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. His knowledge of the history and background of the places we visited brought each stop alive. He went above and beyond to make our experience the best possible. When weather got in the way, he rescheduled and rerouted as needed to keep us experiencing new things. He gave us lots of recommendations for food and pubs along the way.
Some useful info unrelated to the tour: Excellent 5G cell coverage everywhere I went, even in the middle of nowhere. Free wifi just about anywhere you might linger: hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. Paying with a credit card, even for small purchases like a pint, is common. It is nice, though, to have a bit of cash. To withdraw cash, best to use a bank ATM (like Bank of Ireland or AIB) and when given the option, choose to withdraw in Euros, not your local currency.






We visited several small towns and villages, and Killarney National Park. Also saw spectacular beautiful views, including Cliffs of Moher and the Dingle Peninsula.
We also viewed a sheep dog demonstration on a working farm. I learned a lot about Irish history and culture and really enjoyed my time in Southwest Ireland.
Our tour guide, Sean, went above and beyond expectations. Sean also made travel arrangements for me when I discovered I had made an error on my return itinerary.
The guide, meals, transport, and accommodations were all excellent. I highly recommend this wonderful tour and cannot wait to go back. Thank you Sean!


What a great decision it turned out to be.
From a purely logistical standpoint, our tour guide Sean took care of everything. From booking the right accommodations to making sure we stayed on schedule to making sure we had enough time to explore each stop on our own, it felt like everything that needed to be covered was. At each stop he made great recommendations on where to eat and what to see.
But what made the trip truly special was everything else. We didn't know what to expect, having never been to Ireland before. Sean's tour made us fall in love with this beautiful country. From his storytelling as we drove by historical sites, to the music he would play on the bus speakers to create a perfect soundtrack for each moment, it became an immersive experience that made you feel and appreciate the history of this amazing country.
We saw so much, far more than we thought we would, and felt that we had the personalized attention we were looking for throughout. We saw Kinsale, Killarney, Dingle, Galway, and so many spots in between. We saw a mix of natural beauty and historical sites, and rounded things out with dining and shopping in these amazing towns and cities. We saw a wonderful sheep dog demonstration at a small farm, and a great performance of Celtic music and dance. Sean even made sure to schedule group dinners so that all of us had time to actually get to know each other.
My wife and I cannot think of enough positive things to say about Sean and Irish Experience Tours, and we will wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who asks us about our trip. Do yourself a favor and skip the big busses and go with this team. You will not be disappointed!




First time doing a small group tour and we wouldn't hesitate to book one again. Great restaurant and fun excursion recommendations from our guides, Anthony & Noel. Thanks to all!
