What people love about Ireland Tours in February
- Ireland in a Week (Classic, Winter)
Fantastic! Ebony was so personable and we hit so many great sights. I would definitely do a contiki tour with her again
- 3-Day Dingle, Killarney & the Wild Atlantic Way Small-Group Tour from Dublin
It was a very nice trip visiting amazing sights. The accommodation in a B&B was really good as well. Special thank you to Markus our guide, he explained very interesting things to us about the places where we visited. Thank you so much Markus!!
- 5-Day Escape to the South West Small-Group Tour from Dublin
We really enjoyed this tour. Good itinerary every day with stops timed to avoid long stretches on the bus. Our driver/guide was excellent and added a lot to the experience. The bus was comfortable and not too large (16 people max) which allowed us to go places that large coaches couldn’t. Highly recommended.
