What people love about Ireland Tours from Dublin
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
Great all around! Enjoyed the hikes, bike rides, kayaking, and everything else. Do think we may have needed a bit more down time, though. It was a bit tiring being on the go all of the time.
- 7-Day Ireland to Island Small Group Tour of Ireland
This was a brilliant tour showcasing the beautiful emerald isle.it was unbelievable the amout of ground we covered in 6 days. The guide Pat was amazingly informative about irish history, geology, culture. He had a great knack of gelling the group and creating a really fun environment. On a couple of occassions due to weather if we could not get to an activity our trip was reinvented seamlessly. Accommodation food and pub nights were great. Pat provided entertainment also on board singing playing tin whistle and again facilitating the group if they wanted to join in with a song. The country looked amazing . Highlights were Skellig Rock with its Puffin magic and Aran Islands . As a first time solo traveller It was wonderful and very easy to mix in and be part of group ans participate in all the a tivities
- 6-Day Magical Southern Explorer Small Group Tour
A wonderful trip with a wonderful leader! Flexible when needed. Very nice accommodations. Would book with Overland again!
