Frequently Asked Questions

• Are there any luggage restrictions?

  Shamrocker Adventures allows each passenger to have one main piece of baggage with the total weight being no more than 44lbs/20kgs. You will find that the majority of tours have a 20kg luggage limit per person, as this provides luggage room on the transport for all travellers in the group. In addition, you can bring one daypack onboard the transport but you must be able to carry this around with you.
• What should I budget for an average day?

  We recommend allowing €15 - €30 per day. You can’t come to Ireland without visiting the pub for a proper pint at the end of a hard day’s exploring. A pint of Guinness costs around €5.50, and an Irish whiskey would be about €6.
• How much time do we spend off the bus each day?

  Loads! Shamrocker Adventures plans to get you out and about, stretch your legs and breathe in the sweet Irish air and actually experience the country you’re in. Embark on walks, explore old ruins and ancient sites, recount local myths, or listen to a few tales about Ireland’s rich history.
• Do you arrange airport transfers?

  There are no airport transfers included in this tour, therefore you will need to make their own way to the starting point. All Shamrocker Adventures tour starting points are centrally located and have good public transport links so there should be no trouble getting there!
• I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

  Unfortunately, a single supplement is not available for this tour, so if you are a solo traveller, you will be roomed in dorm-share accommodation with your fellow travellers.

  This tour concludes with your arrival to Shamrocker Adventures at approximately 5:30 pm in Dublin (Four Courts Hostel, 15-17 Merchants Quay, Merchants Quay, Dublin, D08 V4Y7, Ireland).

Due to the early start, we recommend arriving one or two days prior to the tour to settle in and make sure you don't miss the bus.

Please be aware that the meeting point is subject to change until your final documents are released.
