“Our well-planned excursion was a resounding success. Our tour guide, Paul, played a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless and trouble-free experience. His extensive knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the day, and his kind and positive demeanor made the journey enjoyable for all participants. Blarney Castle is undoubtedly a must-visit attraction during a trip to Ireland, and Cobh’s picturesque beauty added to the overall charm of the day. It was an absolutely wonderful experience that we will cherish forever.”

“So much fun! Sean, Patrick, and Rodney were absolute dreams to work with. Our train was delayed and Rodney was able to make up for it by stopping at some incredible sights along the way to meet up with our tour down the path. Be sure to walk all the paths and see all of the local draws!”

“Disappointed! Highly priced tour for what you get. Beware , once we transitioned from train to bus the bus was already more than 1/2 full as we were merged with another tour. All good seats were taken and we ended up in the back of bus and could not see much and very uncomfortable. Tour company should have disclosed we’d be merging with another tour. Also many short 10 min stops where most time spent entering and exiting the bus for a quick photo. Not what we expected and cannot recommend!”

“The tour was so well organized, it took a lot of the stresses out of planning a trip. Loved the scenery.”

“What I think could be improved is that it should be shorter, the time in Galway was not in the itinerary and seemed unnecessary to me, I would have liked to get off the bus and take the train to Dublin, (in total the tour was more than 15 hours )”

“coordination between our guides, very well experienced, knowledgeable and good humor guides. Great driver with smiling and very patiently shown and dropped all the places”

“We left the Dublin station for Galway and I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the coach and the efficiency of the service. (Our guide was a little too touchy/feely for the comfort of myself and gf) Other than that, we were met at Galway and then a short bus trip to the small airport for our 8 minute flight over to the Island. Again I was impressed by the efficiency of the entire operation. We arrived on the Island and again were met with bus service and transported to the point where we could continue our journey by bus, bicycle, walking or horse-drawn wagon. So many options. glad…”

“the tour was wonderful amazing views great tour guide would recommend it to all”

“Loved this tour. Paddy was a delight. The only thing I would have changed was more time at Glendalough the lake itself. So beautiful!”

“Our guide Jonathon was spectacular. We had so much fun with him. My biggest complaint was that in Kilearny our B and B was so far from town and it made it hard to get around. It took 30-40 min to walk to town. Other than that it was great.”

“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.”

“I highly recommend this tour! Definitely take the 2 days and stay the night in Galway. The first day has breathtaking views of the Cliffs of Moher and you think it can't get better but the 2nd day tour is so beautiful! I want to take the trip all over again!”

“We were very disappointed in the hotel and overall value for the tour. The other couple traveling with us paid the same price and got the much nicer Europe Hotel in Belfast. We ended up in the lower quality Duke of Queens hotel with a room 108 where the air conditioner did not work. The result was a very warm room which caused a miserable night for sleeping. The hotel had could not fix the A/C or move us to another room. The escorted part of the tour was just a person at the train station to hand out your tickets and tour vouchers. I should have instead just booked…”

“This was a great experience, everything from the train ride, right down to the tour back home. Wish we would have spent less time picking passengers up and more time at the Causeway. But other than that, everything was great.”

“The guides were helpful and there was plenty of time to explore on your own. The train/coaches were comfortable. The feast at Bunratty was really fun. Good food and entertainment...Way better than I expected. Great adventure!”
