Don't tour Ireland on your own, book a CIE Bus Tour.
Brian our tour guide kept us engaged, was witty and knowledgeable. We saw some much, even just on the drive to the attractions, Brian told us about points of interest along the way and the history of Ireland. Along with our driver they made the trip even more memorable.

Wonderful Experience
There was lots to love about our tour: Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle, Jaunting Buggy ride, and Killarney were big highlights. The hotels were mostly excellent, just know that not all had AC and none had outlets in the bathroom to use blowdryers. All meals were great and staff at all locales were top notch. Our guide Tommy was quite a character, and our driver Martin kept us on track. Would like to have spent less time at gift shop stops, and a little more time in Waterford exploring the new museums that have opened recently. Overall, a memorable experience! Ireland is a beautiful country!

Awesome your company is the best
The people in Ireland and the places we went were spectacular
Terilyn Henry
Everything was perfect!! However, as a suggestion, we would have enjoyed another night in Killarnary or an overnight in Kilkenny vs. Waterford. Although we enjoyed Waterford, touring the Waterford Crystal Factory and the walking tour, we thought this could have been accomplished in a day stop vs. and overnight stay - this is just a personal preference though :
