7 reviewed
The Dublin calendar fills unevenly, so the best choice is not always the first one you see. These 7 options show what each does well and what it costs.
Six days from Dublin covering Belfast, Derry, Galway and Kerry, with Titanic, Giant’s Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, Blarney tickets, plus lodging.
“Lack of information as to the daily schedule. Switched items to different days which caused backtracking so not efficient. Skipped multiple items listed in the itinerary. First night, Belfast, did not include hot breakfast.”
A 6-day rail and coach tour across Ireland and Northern Ireland, mixing castles, coasts, Aran Islands, and Titanic Belfast with rail tickets included.
“My mother and I did a trip to Ireland together and chose rail tours to experience outside of Dublin. So glad we did! It was a wonderful experience, all of the guides were extremely knowledgeable and personable. It felt like being with informed friends. All our accommodations were great and all guess work was taken out of it for us. They took care of everything and the one glitch they worked quickly to help us resolve. Could not be happier with out experience.”
A 6-day all-island Ireland backpackers tour hitting Belfast, Derry, Galway, Dingle, Killarney, and the big coast icons.
“I’m glad they had a backpacker option so that I could afford to do this as a student traveling solo! Gordon, our driver, literally knew everything and everyone - he introduced us to lots of locals and gave great recommendations and even hung out with us at the pub in the evenings. (The Celtic Steps show in Killarney and the Black Taxi Tour in Belfast were especially great experiences). The transit experience was great: we had a small coach and a small group (about 15) and the coach had wifi. The accommodations (except the first night) were also very nice - backpackers even got a private room in Annascaul. Breakfast…”
6-day small-group Wild Atlantic Way tour from Dublin to Galway. See Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, Dingle, Burren, plus castles.
“We did the 5 day Wild Atlantic Way trip which we bought through Viator (Viator website had it as 5 day magical southern explorer small group tour). I communicated with Leah at Overland after making the booking through Viator to confirm prefRead more”
Six days south of Ireland from Dublin with a driver, 5 nights of stays, entrance fees, and breakfasts included, plus Wild Atlantic Way views.
“The tour went out of order from what was advertised, and we ended up spending a lot more time on the bus, and not enjoying the beautiful scenery and towns.”
Rail from Dublin through Killarney, Galway, and Connemara to Belfast, with Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands and guided tours.
“This was a great option for our first trip to Ireland. Our first Guide, Brendan, was wonderful. He knew all the history of the sites we were visiting & kept us well informed. Unfortunately, he was with us for only the first half. The second half was more chaotic. We had different guides & less information was given. Our bus on the way to the Aran Islands broke down & then was very late picking us back up again. We were very rushed around. Apparently, our new guide did not understand that there was only one couple in our group of 16 that were young. The rest of us could…”
A 6-day Southern Ireland tour from Dublin with Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Stone, Ring of Kerry, and Galway, plus guide and lodging.
“The itinerary was not followed. They zig zagged across the country instead of a logical path around like the itinerary stated it would be. This made it so you only had 15 minutes at some destinations. We spent more time at gas stations than at some of our planned destinations. We spent more time on the bus doing it this way as well. The guide was rude when you would ask a question and talked bad about previous people who had done the tour. The guide stated that they made the reservations for hotels everyday and that would determine where we ended up based on what was available that day.…”
