Wondferful trip !
Each day we would leave Adair to go to a different destination, while returning to the Dunraven Hotel at night--very convenient. The sights we saw will stay with us forever. However there was one factor that really put our holiday "over the top". Our tour guide, Frankie, was marvelous--great personality, and the man is a walking encyclopedia of Irish history. Any future Irish travelers with CIE will be in the best of hands with Frankie--he is wonderful. Frankie--if you ever read this, thanks again for adding so much to our holiday !

Great trip- great value!
Liked having a ‘home base’ in Adare. I think that helped our group gel a bit as we didn’t spend so much time packing and unpacking. More time socializing.

Excellent daily itinerary. Quality hotel and service in the quaint village of Adare. This allowed a local Ireland feel when visiting the local pubs.

I loved being able to stay in one hotel and take day trips to various points of interest. The time saved packing and unpacking more than made up for spending time on the coach.

Good base of operations for daily tours; crowded itinerary some days.
We usually travel on self-guided tours; it was difficult to have time constraints.
We have been on cruises, and it seemed that two half-day tours were sufficient and realizable. Some days had too complicated of schedules that we were rushed at many venues.
