The tour was very well organized given the number of stops and overnight stays. The pace was good. I didn't feel rushed, though naturally could have spent extra time in certain places if it were available. Nevertheless, we experienced the country and the city, everything from the cliffs and national parks to the pubs of Galway and Killarny. I was disappointed in the Dublin part of the tour. I would have traded the Book of Kells (boring) for an extra hour on Grafton St, Dublin's shopping area near St Stephen's Green, or a tour at Guiness. Now having said this, my wife and i started the tour after having spent four nights in Dublin, so we did a lot of sight seeing on our own. Still I recommend adding a day or two in Dublin to future tours. All the hotels were well appointed and comfortable, as were breakfasts.Show more
