Questions & Answers
Will there be other solo travellers on this tour?
On the tour, you will meet a wide variety of travellers including plenty of solo travellers, friends travelling together, couples and siblings. Don't worry by the end of the first day everyone will know each other so you will no longer feel like strangers but more like great like-minded friends!
Are there luggage restrictions on this tour?
Packing for a trip is never easy and we fully understand that you want to bring as much as possible on your tour of Ireland. For the tour bus, we would ask you to try to pack as lightly and mindfully as possible. The max dimensions we would suggest would be 76cm/48 cm OR 30 inches/19 inches (70L backpack) - this size suitcase would be considered a large size universally. We just want to ensure all guests can fit their luggage in the bus comfortably! We also suggest packing a backpack for necessities.
How big is the tour group?
The group sizes can vary however there will only ever be a maximum of 16 travellers on every tour.
Is there a hotel list available?
The accommodations we partner with are a mixture of traditional Irish guesthouses and boutique hotels. The properties we stay with vary, depending on availability. You can rest assured knowing we have personally vetted each property (we’ve even jumped on the beds ourselves). Some examples are Dingle Marina Lodge to The Harbour Hotel in Galway.
When and where does the tour end?
The tour ends at approximately 5pm depending on traffic, with a dropoff outsideHeuston station. Please note this is subject to each tour.
