Can your company book flights to and from Ireland from Columbus Ohio? Would like to do Feb22-28 2026 We are senior citizens ladies and need help and cheapest flights available

We do not arrange flights. You will be responsible for arranging your flights independently.

Do you off accommodations for solo travelers? If so what would the upcharge be? Also, do you offer transportation to and from the airport?

The Single Supplement will be an additional $350 USD. We can arrange arrival and departure transfers to your booking at the rate of $55 USD per transfer.

How large can we expect the group to be 8-40 is a big range. We do not want to be in a group over 20...

Participation varies as groups can be as large as 48 people. We do offer small group departures which would consist of a max of 28 people. The closest small group departure to your inquiring date would be February 25 2026.

I'd like to know the hotels on the charm tour. Also if we would like to stay two nights in a castle or amor home is that possible?
