    The tour was fabulous and both our Travel Director and Coach Driver were so friendly and professional throughout. The itinerary fitted in a lot of highlights of Ireland, something we don’t think we could’ve done to the same extent had we driven ourselves. The organisation was great and loved the way timings were strict and early so we could largely avoid crowds from cruise ships etc. Excellent!

  • B

    Brian

    Asked on February 11th, 2026

    Would you recommend this tour for an eleven year old? We will be traveling with our grandson. If you would not recommend for a child is there a tour you would recommend?

    Age Range
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten February 2026

      This tour is family-friendly and can absolutely be suitable for an 11-year-old. Many families travel with children of similar ages, and the itinerary offers a wonderful mix of scenery, culture, and engaging experiences that young travelers often enjoy.

      Please keep in mind that Trafalgar tours do involve full sightseeing days and some longer coach journeys, so we always recommend considering your grandson's comfort with structured travel days.

      If you feel a more family-focused experience may be a better fit, you might also like to explore Trafalgar Family Experiences tours, which are specifically designed with younger travelers in mind. These include activities and pacing tailored for children and teens.

  • M

    Marc

    Asked on October 5th, 2025

    Are there any options in the hotels to have three in a room for older parents and adult son?

    Accommodation
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten October 2025

      Triple rooms can be booked; however, they are suitable to accommodate two adults and one child. For three adults, these rooms may feel a bit tight, as they typically feature one double bed and one foldaway bed, with limited space for luggage. As an alternative, you may consider booking one twin room and one single room, which would offer more comfort.

    Jenny

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten August 2025

  • J

    Jeremy

    Asked on February 9th, 2025

    Is this a guaranteed departure? Also, their daughter might join a bit later or leave earlier; would that be possible? And would there be any changes to the cost in that case?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten February 2025

      We are pleased to confirm that the departure on May 2, 2025, is guaranteed and will proceed as scheduled, barring any extraordinary circumstances. If your daughter joins the trip late or leaves early, the price of the trip will not change. Please note that any missed activities or sightseeing during her absence will not be refunded or deducted from the overall trip price.

    Shirley

    Asked on November 10th, 2024

    During our stay in Killarney, is there enough free time to visit Killarney National Park?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten November 2024

      Yes, during your stay in Killarney, you will have some free time to explore the area. On the days when we offer optional experiences, if you choose not to participate, that time will be yours to enjoy as you wish. We recommend coordinating with your Travel Director regarding your plans to visit Killarney National Park, as they can assist you and provide valuable information on the best times to explore during your free time.

  • R

    Robyn

    Asked on July 27th, 2024

    If my husband and i did this tour with my mother-in-law, would we have two hotel rooms? One for the two of us and one for her?

    Accommodation
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten July 2024

      For three guests, we do offer the option of a triple room or 1 single room and 1 twin room. Please be advised that triple rooms are generally suitable for two adults and one child. Three adults may find these rooms too small, as they often have one double bed and one foldaway bed, with limited suitcase space. If you prefer more space and comfort, we recommend booking one single room and one twin room.

  • E

    Erika

    Asked on July 26th, 2024

    Once I get to Dublin, should I just go to the first hotel on the list? Or will I be told where to go once I book?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten July 2024

      Upon your arrival in Dublin, you may proceed directly to the first hotel if you wish, as all guests will meet at the hotel reception. Please note that hotel check-in is typically at 3:00 in the afternoon. We offer complimentary transfers on the first day of your trip, departing from Dublin Airport (DUB) at 08:30, 11:00, and 13:00. Your flight should arrive at least an hour before the scheduled transfer time.
