    Thank you Tony. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a kind and thoughtful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the weather cooperated for your trip out to Skellig Michael. Getting to reach the peak under clear skies is a truly magical experience that many dream of. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Breda. She is a gem and her passion for bringing Ireland's story to life is exactly what we are all about. She is going to be absolutely touched to hear she made your adventure so special. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the rare warm spell in our smaller towns. While those temperatures are unusual for Ireland we understand that navigating those nights without air conditioning can be a challenge. Thank you again for choosing us for your adventure and for your kind recommendation. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable trip, perhaps next time in Portugal! Warmest regards, Marta & all at Overland Tours

  • T

    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.

  • K

    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?

    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.

    Asked on January 28th, 2025

    What should I do if I need travel support during the tour?
