We had a great trip last week! Our tour host, Dave Gallagher, was exceptional in the way he got to know each person on the trip. Throughout the 3 days he continued to be very engaged with our group and made us feel special. Two suggestions we would give: 1. We would have liked at least another 1/2 hour at Cliffs of Moher -- that's a highlight and there is a lot to see and do there. 2. More warning about the castle steps I think would be helpful. Not just how many, but that they are very narrow and the passageway is very narrow and once you start up there is no going back until you reach the top. My husband has a hernia and the steps were not good for him. Also, if anyone has claustrophobia it could be a scary experience. The whole trip was wonderful and beautiful, inspite of rain. Loved the place we had lunch on Thursday overlooking the ocean. The bus drivers were amazing -- we felt very safe with them, even though the roads were so narrow and windy. Oh, and I must say the sheep dog demonstration should not be an option -- that was a real highlight!

A wonderful tour of Ireland! And if are lucky enough to have Tim Tim as your guild, all the better for you!!!! He made the journey for us. This trip gives you a wonderful taste of the country--and we cannot wait to return to see more.

Well organized and covered what was promised. Bad weather took the edge off.

Beautiful sites, nice bed and breakfast convenient to town, spent too little time on train and toooo much time on bus.

We generally enjoyed the tour. However, on day 2, to the Ring of Kerry, it was raining all day, and we would have preferred to be taken somewhere else, perhaps a museum. We were unable to see most of the sights that day, due to the rain. Our other complaint is this: despite requesting to the bus driver to turn down the air-conditioning blower so that we could hear him, he didn't do this. We were disappointed we could not hear him, and it was uncomfortably cold in the bus.

Enjoyable days, timing good. Would have liked a little more time at the last stop on day 2 - shopping for souvenirs - it was one of the best locations. Lunch stop on day 2 was nice but they seemed unprepared and lineups were extremely lengthy. By the time I got to the front to pay, food that had been piping hot was quite cool. B and B that was booked for me in Killarney was very nice

This tour was fantastic. The tour guides were amazing and the tour content, commentary and knowledge of the guides were all fantastic. The only disappointment was the quality of the accommodation at the B and B we stayed at, Beauty's house. It was quite dated. The bedrooms and certainly the bathrooms all need updating.

The entire 3 days were amazing! It was a great balance of being taken care of (tour guides/drivers/planning) and having enough free space to enjoy everything (2 full evenings free/amazing hotel in Killarny/castles and cliffs had plenty of time to enjoy them). My first tour with viator and I would highly recommend it!

It's interesting but a little challenge to change the train ride to bus or vice versa. The scenic view was fantastic. I would recommend this to my friends.

We were very pleased with this tour. We had very informative tour guides. The B and B we stayed at in Killarney ( The Fairview was above our expectations) It was a great trip and I will recomend it to my friends.

What isn't made completely clear is that this is not one tour but a series of tours, more or less defined by the individual day, and that the guides change with the day. So our first guide met us at the train and took us to Blarney Castle and Cobh and put us on the train to Killarney. We were met there by a different representative who took us to our guest house, then next day had a separate guide/driver for Ring of Kerry. Yet a different driver picked us up on morning three and drove us to meet our guide for the Cliffs of Moher, etc., and that guide rode the train back with us to Dublin.

Absolutely fantastic trip. The guides were very knowledgeable and patient. The bed and breakfast was top-of-the-line and the scenery outstanding. I would definitely recommend this trip
