    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Jodeen! We are so glad to hear that you had such a great experience and enjoyed the itinerary. Conor Sullivan is an absolute professional, and your review proves exactly why we love him! Dealing with four bus changes right at the start of a trip could easily rattle anyone, but Conor’s ability to handle it without stressing—all while keeping the mood fun and full of stories—is a testament to his exceptional guiding skills. We are so glad you enjoyed getting to know him. It’s also wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the small group dynamic! With just 10 people, it really allows everyone to connect and form those special bonds. We’re thrilled that the sheepdog trials, cattle ranch, and sheep petting were such memorable, educational highlights for you. Thank you again for choosing us for your journey, Jodeen. We’ll be sure to pass your high praise along to Conor! Safe travels wherever your next adventure takes you. ☘️

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great small group tour experience and that you enjoyed the organisation, beautiful locations, accommodations, and overall value of the trip. It’s especially lovely to hear your kind comments about Conor. His positive attitude, knowledge, and enthusiasm for sharing Ireland with guests are qualities we value greatly, and we’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to him. We also have to say - hearing that your only regret was not booking the 10-day tour is one of the best compliments we could receive! Ireland certainly has a way of making people want to stay longer. Thank you again for travelling with us and for allowing us to be part of your Irish adventure. We’re so happy you left with great memories, and we hope to welcome you back again someday to continue exploring even more of Ireland. Warm regards, The Overland Ireland Team

    Tara

    Asked on February 24th, 2026

    We like this tour, but want to do 10 days.

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      We specialise in small-group journeys that go beyond the guidebook, combining Ireland's iconic highlights with hidden coastal roads, local food stops and memorable moments you would often miss on a larger tour. With smaller groups, everything feels more personal and our guides bring Ireland's history, culture and folklore to life in a warm, engaging way. We also offer a 10-day tour which is called the Ultimate tour. There is also an active 11 day tour that covers the full Island of Ireland.

  • C

    Carole

    Asked on February 19th, 2026

    I don't see any note of Dingle....Is there an opportunity to visit? Also, help with scheduling flights be available?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      You do not visit Dingle on the Ireland to Island tour. This tour covers the entire Ring of Kerry and includes two nights in Killarney, so unfortunately, there isn't time to visit Dingle.

      If visiting Dingle is something you'd like to do, I would recommend our Great Atlantic Adventure tour. This tour also departs on Sundays, is part of our active tour range and includes two nights in Dingle.

      Please note that we do not arrange flights, so these would need to be organized independently.

    Keith

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    I love the sound of this tour apart from the biking part, is there any way I can do the tour without that small section?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Absolutely you don't need to partake in the cycle around Inis Oir, however it is a small island 3 x 2 klm. I actually walked it with my two children 2 years ago and its is a lovely walk. There are some lovely places to see if you want to explore such as an old ship wreck and a beautiful sandy beach if you just want to relax and take in the view. There are some nice market stalls selling Aran fudge and nice souvenirs and there is a wonderful seaweed spa if you would like to purchase some gifts.

      Are the accommodations en-suite?

      Of course that is not problem at all to make that decision on the same day and yeah all the rooms have a lovely en-suite bathroom so happy days.

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    I am traveling with a friend but we want to book separate rooms. Is that possible for this tour, ensuring we will both be on the same tour bus and booked at same hotels, etc.? If so, what would the cost be per room and how would I go about booking it?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      We do have some availability on the 27th of September for Ireland to Island tour. The cost is €2195 plus €379 single supplement. The single supp guarantees your private ensuite room for duration of the tour.

  • K

    Kristin

    Asked on July 21st, 2025

    Really want to visit Cong and the Knock Shrine .. can we do this on our own at some point during the tour? If not, any other tours that may work?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      This would depend on what free time is available on each day of the tour, you could maybe skip an activity and make your own arrangements to see these sights, or during an evening of free time you could make arrangements.

  • P

    Philip

    Asked on June 6th, 2025

    How much time would I have on my own? Are the tours/activities all day, every day?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The days are normally from 09:00 till about 17:00 but in between you have activities, lunch free time and time to explore as well.

  • C

    Christina

    Asked on March 18th, 2025

    I'm interested in this tour solely because of the trips to Aran Islands and Skellig Michael. Please can you advise how much extra these excursions will be

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The trip to Aran Islands is included on this tour. The boat would be €120 per person and is payable on the day in cash to the boat directly.

    • C

      Christina

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Am I right to assume then that the trip to Skellig Michael is included in the price?

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The Skelligs landing trip is not included in the price. It sometimes gets cancelled due to the weather conditions. The trip is Euro 130 PP and if you look at our other tours this tour is around that cheaper as well.

    Megan

    Asked on March 16th, 2025

    Is it possible to go on our own when we stay in Portmagee that night? If so, could we get a car in Portmagee to make this small excursion?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      While renting a car for one night might seem difficult, you could indeed get a taxi to and from the dark sky reserve no problem.

  • T

    Tamara

    Asked on March 9th, 2025

    Is the bed larger than a double in the triple room? Is a double the largest bed on the two person room?

    Accommodation
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      For a triple room, it would consist of a double bed along with either a single bed or a rollaway bed in the same room. A double bed is the standard size for two people sharing, but if you'd like more space, we also offer an upgrade to a king or queen-size bed. This would be the largest bed available on our tours.
