I would like a price (group tour for my husband and me). We would be requesting accommodation at the same hotel the night prior to departure of the tour and the night at the end of the tour.

Irish Adventure is offered in an 8 or 9 day duration.

We can offer: Mon Apr 27, 2026 Tue May 05 2026 US$3195 per person or Fri May 01 2026 Sat May 09 2026 US$3395 per person.

I wanted to know if you help book airport transfers. I wanted to make arrangements for flying back out to the United States on February 19th when the tour ends. The itinerary says the tour ends after breakfast. I just wanted to know the best time to arrange an airport transfer from the hotel immediately. I wanted to book flights and that all depends on how long it would take from the hotel to the airport.

We do not include international airfare, as travelers can join the trip from many different countries. We have a helpful place to search flight prices. You will be responsible for booking your own flights to meet at the starting city. We can add transfers only at the start and end of the tour for an additional fee.

Yes, we offer triple rooms on our tours. Depending on the hotels it could be either a double bed and a single or 3 single beds in a room.

How many shots are required to be considered fully vaccinated?

We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour. It was jam-packed with experiences, usually 3 distinct tourism stops each day, and kept us moving throughout the week. Honestly, though, the highlight of the tour for me was our driver, Ger O'Brien. His genial manner, fun (and funny) stories, and his description of everyday and not-so-everyday Ireland was perhaps the most surprisingly enjoyable part of the tour.Show more
