In Dingle he was not driving but guiding for you and the rest of the group due to the driving regulations in Ireland. He left the tour on the last day due to an emergency. So am not 100% sure where you have the 3 days from as Mark was with you for 7 out of the 8 days. I hope you have a wonderful trip back to Vietnam. Kindest Regards, ReinierShow more

Asked on April 25th, 2025Is there an extra cost when traveling solo?
- Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
We have a single supplement of €464 which guarantees a private ensuite room for the duration of your tour. Solo travelers make up around a third of our guests.

Nicola
Asked on April 22nd, 2025additional charge for single room? would you pair up me in double room? when to arrive dublin? is the end point close by international airport to fly back to HK? Available for May 21-28?? can I take luggage with 23 kg
- Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
The additional charge for a private single room is approx €464. This guarantees your own private ensuite bedroom for the duration of the trip. Unfortunately, we don't offer a room-sharing option with fellow travellers you haven't booked with. The tour begins at 8:00 AM on the first day, so depending on your flight schedule, I would recommend arriving in Dublin on May 20th to ensure you're ready for the early start. On the final day of your adventure, we'll say our goodbyes and your guide will drop you off at Heuston Train Station in Dublin. From there, it's approximately a 30-minute journey to Dublin International Airport. I'm also pleased to confirm that we do currently have availability for the May 21st departure! You're welcome to bring luggage up to 23kg. We also recommend bringing a small daypack to carry your essentials during the day, so you won't need to access your main bag frequently.

Joy
Asked on April 16th, 2025can you book extra nights same hotel Dublin pre and post tour can you book airport transport?
- Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
Unfortunately, we do not offer pre or post tour accommodation. I would recommend the Aishling or the Castle Hotel. The Aishling is right beside where you get dropped off and picked up. We can provide airport transfer but is it €150 each way for up to 9 people.

Asked on April 9th, 2025Do you have room to accommodate six of us on June 4 tour? We would need three double rooms at each hotel.

Laurie
Traveler•Written April 2025How large is the vehicle you mentioned- the Mercedes V class?
- Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
A Mercedes V-Class is a 7 seater with great space for everyone. It's a luxury vehicle with nice seats. We would also have a 9 seater Mercedes Sprinter, which is amazing as well. The V-Class would probably be more suited for smaller groups.

Trevor
Asked on April 2nd, 2025Would you please advise information on luggage restrictions.
- Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written April 2025
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 on the bus comfortably! We also suggest packing a rucksack/backpack for day-to-day necessities while on tour. Something you can bring while hiking or while you are off the bus.
