    Hi Christine, Thanks a million for getting in touch with us and sharing your honest thoughts on your tour with Patrice. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed most of your adventure, and that exploring Dingle, taking in the Cliffs of Moher, and traveling with Jimmy made for such great memories! Jimmy will be delighted to read your praise for his driving and entertainment! That said, we are truly sorry that you missed out on parts of his commentary due to the microphone setup in the back of the vehicle, and we apologize that you were not sent an individual survey directly after paying separately. This is something we will look into for the future. Your constructive feedback regarding the mic clarity and the duration at the Burren Farm stop is incredibly valuable to us. We will certainly share this with our operations team to refine the experience. Thank you again for traveling with us and for helping us improve. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back on the road down the line. Perhaps to enjoy the sunny coastlines, rich history, and vibrant culture of Portugal on your next adventure with us! Warmest wishes, Marta & the entire Overland Tours team

    Hi Patrice, Thanks a million for sharing your honest review! We are so glad that you and your friends had such a great week overall and enjoyed exploring everything from the ancient monasteries and castles to the oldest pub in the country. We are truly sorry again for the rocky start with the bus breakdown and the issue with the microphone. While we are glad dinner was a welcome gesture, we completely understand how frustrating it was to miss out on any of Jimmy's banter and stories from the back seats. Jimmy will be delighted to read your lovely praise! He is a star, and we are thrilled that his endless knowledge and restaurant picks made your trip so memorable despite the hiccups. We would love the chance to welcome you and your friends back for a completely smooth trip down the line. Perhaps to soak up the sun and coastal paths of Portugal on your next escape with us! Best regards, Marta & the Overland Tours team

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      The Emerald Explorer as it currently stands, with no changes and on one of our set departure dates, would be approximately US$2,900 per person. As we would be making changes to the itinerary and choosing a date that works best for your hosted trip, the price may increase slightly.

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      With an expected group size of 11–15 travellers, in terms of hosting, we would typically offer one complimentary place for every six paying guests.

    • M

      Muhammad

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      The price point I'm hoping can be within a few hundred of $3000. Ideally I would fill the group to 15, but if we could start anticipating 11. Would available departure dates be included in the proposal?

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      Regarding visiting the Aran Islands on the final day instead of the Galway city walking tour, the ferry from the Aran Islands to Galway city travels via the Cliffs of Moher, making it a much longer journey of around 2.5 hours one way. You would arrive back into Galway at approximately 6:00pm, and from there it would still be close to three hours to Dublin. This would make for quite a long final day. Another option would be to visit the Aran Islands on Day 6 instead. This would involve a much shorter ferry journey of around 15 minutes there, with the return ferry taking approximately 45 minutes and travelling underneath the Cliffs of Moher for some fantastic views. The only change with this option is that you would forgo the Irish Farm Safari on Day 6.

      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.

      The accommodations for this trip are wonderful and really appreciated by our guests:
      Kilkenny: Hibernian Hotel
      Killarney: Killarney Towers Hotel
      Spanish Point: Spanish Armada Hotel
      Dingle: Dingle Marina Lodge or Emlagh House

    Do you match up singles for a double room if they requested and you can find someone who wants to share?

    Single supplement
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      Unfortunately we do match up single guests together to make a twin/double room. We book sole occupancy rooms, with an additional single supplement, which guarantees you an ensuite room.
