“This was the second tour that I took this past week with rail tour Ireland. The first tour was to cliffs of moher and gallaway. There were no issues and tour was amazing. This review is about our second tour to blarney castle cork and Cobh. Our guide John was one of the best guides I have experienced around the world.

The whole time on train he explained how we need to hurry when we get off train to…”

“Paddywagon tour company may be competent with one day tours however they could certainly use more organization and tact when it comes to the 2 day tour. Those of us who paid for the 2 day tour were shuffled around and pretty much made to feel like we were an inconvenience to them. An example of what I mean is that they shifted us from one bus and guide in mid-stream so we were taken to some sites twice and we didn't get to see some others at all. When we questioned one of the drivers his response was I've come out of my way to pick you guys up…”

“Norman Foster was probably the best tour guide that I encountered. I enjoyed the trip more because of his attention to details. Darren on the Conemarra was also excellent. We did experience fog on the Ring of Kerry segment but everything else went OK. I liked the Noraville B and B in Kellarney but it was not conveniently located to the downtown area costs 6 Euros for taxi. The Kelarney Court Hotel was nearby - good pub.”

“Very interesting tour and lovely areas to visit!! The tour guide on the Ring of Kerry was absolutely fantastic. My only wish was to have been allowed more time to spend in each area as opposed to short stops. I do highly recommend the trip and staying in B and Bs. Beauty's Home in Killarney was so welcoming!!”

Rail tours are well designed and fun to use the trains instead of the couch the whole time. Thanks NORMAN!!!!”
