I just reviewed the tour.
Great itinerary, spoiled a bit by the weather, which is inevitable in Ireland. Dublin is old, dirty and noisy, but outside the cities Ireland is green, fresh and interesting.
We felt like we sure had a wonderful experience for the cost of the trip. Not too expensive and so professionally done,=.
The best Irish experience
Great scenery and loved meeting people on the way.
It was well organised and we got to see a good deal of the country. However, I thought the Guide was not as keen and well informed as our previous guide on the Cornwall tour. Did not seem to mix with members of the group as I might have expected.

Travel agent recommended the tour
Very well run tour, good itinerary.
Long days driving on the bus for hours and hours wish we had more time to explore the towns we visited. We always arrived at our hotel near dinner time. Which little time for exploring.
Overall it met all of our expectations. only a couple of things as I said about a couple of the visitations we had that we a bit boring. The only other issue was that we were a fair way out of town on a couple of occasions especially Kinsale where we would have loved to go into town. We could have went into town by taxi but was a bit hard and expensive.
Fabulous tour, well organised and covered the highlights of Southern Ireland.
Excellent driver and guide great selection of sites visited, clean and newish vehicle, exc´llent accomodation
The tour guide was ill so the start was a little shaky. Once replaced, all went well.
I think we got our money's worth with this service.
Answered in previous question.
The tour wasn’t really backroads. We went to all the regular tourist places. There are so many good places we could have visited if we’d started the tour in Cork and just seriously focused on that southern corner
Especially liked touring the National Stud farm and Japanese Gardens. Even the food was good!
The Southern Corners of Ireland tour was a lovely way to be introduced to the country and certainly the places we saw were great. As mentioned earlier I found a bit of the storytelling by the guides at a few of the locations were too long winded and got in the way of experiencing the place itself. Of course the country has some sad stories to tell; it would have been nice to balance it a bit more with the resilience of the people.
My travel agent arranged the purchase of this tour.
Great itinerary & good guide too
Mike and Pat did everything to make everyone on our trip happy!
There were many opportunities to purchase local goods.
The brewery tour was a bit long wait and nothing much to see in the town would have liked longer in Kinsale
drove a lot of back roads but still ended up with all the big tour buses.
Typically Irish fun items
A well planned tour of Southern Ireland.
