For having all things, accommodation and food, recommendation sorted for relaxing and not worrying about driving and parking every day and basically sightseeing. We even had music to accompany our trip that was relevant to what we were looking at, impressive.

I had actually been to Ireland before this tour, but our tour guide Anthony was so incredibly knowledgeable that I had a completely new experience of Ireland. If you're looking for a group tour that makes you feel like a family member and not a number in a huge crowd, this tour is for you. I cannot praise Irish Experience Tours enough for their high level of hospitality and attention to details. Absolutely would book again.

The vibrant culture of each city (as well as each stop along the way) was brought to life in such a vivid and memorable way… we have been on 38 cruises and THIS was our best vacation yet!!!

Unfortunately I needed to leave the tour earlier than expected due to a family emergency but both Anthony and Sean were really supportive with this and I’m sure I will return in the future on another tour with them. Great experience and lovely meeting all the other people on the tour, it was a lovely group of people and even though I had to leave early I loved the first couple of days and everything we saw while there

Besides the stress-free advantage of not having to drive a rented car on the "wrong side" of the road to see Ireland's stunning Wild Atlantic Way, we met a nice group of between 5-8 fellow travellers and had a few days of independent exploration. This smaller group was much more agile and agreeable than a typical coach full of 50 tourists! Our guide and bus driver, Anthony Dawson, was exceptional. Not only did he ensure we got everywhere safely on often narrow and winding mountain roads, but he communicated well and adapted the tour as required "on the fly" when the weather or other factors changed our plans. During one bonus visit, we were fortunate to see County Kerry's Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park where we had an amazing panoramic view of the nature reserve and surrounding area from a 20-meter tall viewing tower. From the wild beauty of the Connemara Region, to the history in Northern Ireland and the charm of colourful towns like Westport, Dingle and Killarney, there were too many highlights to name during our 13-day tour. Anthony's background as a professional photographer who knew where to take the best pictures, and as an artist, historian and overall fun guy, made our trip all that more enjoyable. His well-curated bus playilst perfectly enhanced the passing scenery and he always made sure we knew where we could find the best pubs at each overnight stop. We've been on a lot of guided tours around the world, but Irish Experience Tours, wtih Anthony Dawson, ranks among the best!

Our guide Anthony was excellent, sharing his knowledge about the regions we traveled through. Interactions with the people of Ireland was pleasant throughout the trip. Food wise, it was mostly good. Some locations had excellent dishes to choose from. Hamburgers seemed to be available everywhere. Breakfast was good everyday. Lodging was adequate, however keep in mind most do not have air conditioning! Hence the reason we choose to visit before Summer. To our disappointment, when booking our trip, we failed to recognize the option to upgrade the lodging. We for certain would have paid extra for that option. I believe the website could have made that easier to spot, just my opinion.

The natural beauty was breathtaking- the cliffs and 5the Giants Causeway. Accommodations were lovely and comfortable with delicious breakfast options. The trad music and dancing enriched the experience.
The weather- it rained, it’s Ireland so what did you expect. The Castles, churches , the history were amazing.
Our tour guide,Anthony, was knowledgeable and entertaining.
All in all a wonderful life experience!

Caring to our unique group of people all ages and nationalities. He could think outside of the box when traffic ruined our plans or weather, he had another plan. Very lucky to have him as my guide.
This is a great tour of all the beauty and wonderful (yet sad) history of Ireland. I would highly recommend this tour if your like spectacular scenery, castles, and a pint of Guinness:)
Best guided tour in my 30 years of foreign travel.

Great variety of scenery and points of interest with options
Not too focused on any particular type of location like castles or cathedrals etc
Just what we wanted

We were happy with all the lodging, meals, tours and other sightseeing stops. The trip has a good mix of planned tours and self-guided ones, scheduled meals and meals on your own, and opportunities for extra excursions. Anthony explained things well in advanced and made sure we knew what was coming up and offered great recommendations for free time activities. Our photos are proof that the tour provided the beautiful scenery we were hoping to see along with fun in villages for good food and music.

Anthony met us on time the first day and we were off. His knowledge and recommendations were exceptional.

Awesome tour, visited great places. Especially guide Anthony was very good, he knows how to tell everything about Ireland and create a good atmosphere.

We opted for the 10 Day Wild Irish Experience - Small Group Tour and it was fantastic. There were only ten of us and everyone got along great and no one kept us waiting. Anthony was a terrific guide and was able to beat the big bus crowds to the major sights. We also had plenty of free time to explore the small towns where we stayed in top notch small inns. Anthony also did a great job pointing out points of interest as we were traveling and providing ample photo opportunities along the way. When he wasn't narrating he kept us supplied with a playlist of traditional Irish Music as well as music by contemporary Irish artists. We highly recommend Irish Experience Tours.
