Great tour! Patrick Simth was a great tour guide!!!
Great tour! Patrick Simth was a great tour guide!!! Fantastic love everything! Would do it again
Kim Ellen Parkinson
Great tour - lots of beautiful scenery and knowledge
The hotels on the trip were fine. One stuck out as the best - our night in Limerick was amazing. The bed on the last night was terrible and the bed in Killarney wasn't great either. If you like stiff beds, then you'll be in heaven but after the fabulous tours and the fantastic scenery, sleeping in those beds were tough.
The transportation was great. The coach was comfy. I do wish those that were sick had worn a mask (yes, I got their cold just before my plane ride home).
The dinner/lunch meals were excellent. It was nice that the hotels provided breakfast but nothing special - which was fine for what I needed/wanted.
I loved all my sightseeing except the last day. Not sure if it was because we arrived the day after Halloween or if Gallway is usually quite quiet in the morning but it wasn't my favorite part of the trip. I really would have preferred to just drive through to Dublin or stop somewhere else, this particular leg wasn't my favorite. BUT all the rest - great. The sheep dog demonstration was great, the Merry Ploughboy, the skellig Island experience, the blarney stone, the beautiful sites in the ring of Kerry. Even the medival dinner in Limerick - all great. I loved all of them.
