      Traveler•Written March 2025

      Since we would need to find a hotel to stay in the night before the tour starts, is the Grand Hotel usually available for making private reservations at if we booked far enough in advance? For families with kids coming is it necessary to book two rooms or do they have larger rooms available for the tour?

    • Royal Irish ToursOperator•Written March 2025

      The hotel would be available to book for a pre-night. For anyone with kids they would mostly need 2 rooms. What are the kids ages?
