“This was a great way to get some sights in! The guides were fantastic!”

“This was a long day that started and ended with a train ride, Dublin to Killarney and back. Joe was our guide on the train and he was a kindly humorous man who my wife and I just loved. Once in Killarney we climbed aboard a bus for the famed Ring of Kerry. I was so looking forward to this tour because of its reputation, but also because my family comes from the region. The ring of Kerry is a beautiful 110 mile twisting narrow road that has some of the ruggedest and most scenic vistas in Ireland. The problem was, in the counterclockwise direction that the tour bus’s are…”

“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.”

“Ireland is beautiful but the extra was our tour guide Pat O’Mara. He provided so much history & background before each stop to experience that place even more! Pat was personable, funny, helped with our luggage and reserved group dinner reservations for those interested - me, all the time. We saw more than the just the tourist spots - went on local hikes with him. We also greatly enjoyed the 1-2 hour tours with local area experts - all part of the Overland experience. And the size - just 14 of us from all over the world (fun people) was the best! Glad not to be part of the big…”

“Could not have asked for more!!! Norman was fantastic and excellent guide. Gave so much info on everything. Great customer service, attention to every detail you can imagine!!!!”

“I can't say enough about this tour! This was the first time I've taken an arranged tour of another country rather than setting up my own trip. What a wonderful change. It's just so nice to get picked up every day and not have to worry about any of the details. And there is no way I could ever make the same bookings for this price - you definitely benefit from group pricing. Overland Ireland made all the arrangements and they are an excellent outfit! Lisa was our guide for the week and she is exceptionally cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable - and just plain fun to be with. Clearly this job…”

“I joined this tour as a solo traveler in the "backpacker" option. The tour includes many great foto stops but this also gives it a fast pace. The hostels for the two nights were nice and mostly clean, the breakfast was not great (only toast and nutella/jam) or cornflakes with cow milk, so I recommend packing some extra food for the mornings. Our driver and guide Vincent was very funny and helpful. Sometimes I wish there would have been more explanations and a few more hints (like when you are stopping for a bathroom break or to grab food, letting people know when the next opportunity will be so they…”

“Norman our guide was fantastic in looking after everyone, keeping us informed, giving great directions and was a wealth of knowledge. The tour was wonderful and covered a wide area of Ireland. The castle and the village were so good. Great experience, worth the fee.”

“Tour & guide was very good. B&B accommodations very good. Confusion at the beginning about the reservation for the tour itself. The bus used lacked sufficient storage space for carry on items..”

“It was a great trip with beautiful scenery, but something that would’ve been helpful is to let people know that there were cash expectations along the way for the sheep herding and the bog village so people make sure they have plenty of cash on hand.”

“Sadly this was a bust for us. We woke early and got on the train for the 3 hour ride to Galway. While on train, guide got the thumbs up that we would fly. Sometime after being picked up at train station and 45 minute ride to airport, weather changed. We waited at airport for well over an hour with hopes of flying over. Never happened. Then we got back on bus and was dropped back off in Galway. We really didn't know what to do at that point, because there was no direction. Bus driver pointed in direction of the train station so that's were we went. Found the…”

“I picked this 2 day Irish tour package after I was notified by Viator that my first choice was unavailable. This one was only slightly different. I had reservations about the bus trip instead of train and the overnight being a b&b instead of a 4 star hotel. However I was blown away! The bus trip up was fantastic, we had a guide, Vincent, who was both informative and hilarious, the stops we made were gorgeous and exciting, and if the accommodations for the overnight weren't 4 starts worthy I would be shocked. We did have to have a different driver on the way back to Dublin (company keeps busses…”

“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…”

“My boyfriend and I went on the 7-day Ireland to Island tour at the beginning of September. We had never been on a tour before and had no idea what to expect, but we were blown away by our wonderful tour guide, David, the quality of the activities and experiences Overland arranged, and the wonderful group who accompanied us. We loved exploring multiple castles, the beautiful towns and lovely accommodations + included breakfasts in each location, biking the Aryan Islands, Skellig Michael hike for my boyfriend, kayaking in Killarney National Park, watching an authentic sheep dog demonstration, and the highlight of our tour was getting to see the Cliffs of…”

“We had such a good time! We had 3 different guides, Brian jj and John. JJ was the best and was very funny! The b&b was the only downside of the whole two days!”
