Our guides were excellent Brian and Paddy. They were very informative. I learned so much about the Irish History. Pro's: Pro's great way to see most of the country and learn about the history from a professional. Everything was included as far as tickets, hotels and breakfast. I enjoyed being with other travelers and we made lasting friendships. Cons: We are on a schedule and so could not spend as much time as we wanted at some of the sights and venues. Lunch place was always predetermined so you were stuck going only to their choice. Most places were pretty good by average cost of the meals were 40-50 Euros per couple. It would have been nice to have a day off in the middle to rest a bit. Overall it was a great way to see the country for the first time.

We were given the wrong address on the ticket and the email that was sent the day before. The guide hiked up to find us when we weren’t at the newer location. Though we had a rough start, the guide and tour were 5 Stars and beyond. We enjoyed the information and sites. We especially appreciated the guide nicely, but pointed asking people to not talk while he is giving his tour talks. There were plenty of opportunities to speak with friends between the history bits, and we had some chatty people in the group. It was difficult to hear over the chatting, which is why it was nice that he asked them to be courteous and wait until after his history bits to resume talking. The guide was very polite about it.

The tour was well organized- our guides met us every step of the way and ensured comfort and safety. The planned days went smoothly. It can be hard to be on the bus when you would like to stop for more photos! Reserved first class train seats were appreciated. The chosen hotels were nice, clean, comfortable and well located. The food was good. We really enjoyed the other travelers in our group. This is a nice way to see Ireland for the first time.

Everything was just amazing. the driver is very professional and the tour was so interested. I highly recommending to choose it.

John, our guide, was friendly, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this trip, the scenery is stunning.
