Can I please confirm start location and time

The tour start is the Ashling hotel in Dublin at 6pm. To confirm, this departure date is on request, as we are only two days away. This means we would need full payment at the time of booking; we would then need to send it off to our Product to see if the space can be confirmed. This is not guaranteed. If it can't be confirmed, we would process a refund. The rooms available are our single occupancy's which we can request to be made into two double rooms. Would that be suitable for you and your travel companions?

Can you confirm if the visit to Skellig Michael includes going ashore or only looking at it from further away?

No, it is not possible to visit Skellig Michael on this tour. You will view this from the mainland at the Skellig centre. This is due to the boat ride being quite rocky and uncomfortable and the steps on the island itself are quite strenuous.

Would this tour be suitable for an elderly (late 80s) person, a willing but slow walker. Would some sights eg Cliffs of Moher, involve a lot of walking from the drop off point?

Our passengers typically range between 60 to mid 80 years of age. This is being considered our tours run at a slow relaxed pace. The car park is located very close to the cliffs and you can walk around at your own lesuire and pace. I'm more than happy to reach out to our operations team to confirm how much walking is involved on the day trip to the cliffs if you would lik me to?

Do you take senior solo travelers? Looking into Oct 2024. Can I arrange Dublin and arrive a day before tour starts and stay a day later in Dublin?

We do take senior solo travellers, however, there is a single supplement. You can definitely arrange both pre and post accommodation at the same hotel as the tour starts and finishes.

My mom has always had this desire to visit Ireland, and this year I decided to help her check off that bucket list item. I had no expectations going in, and was absolutely blown away by the experience. The hotels were amazing, the meals were fantastic, the bus was comfortable, and the guide, Bernard, was out of this world. If your are looking to explore the Southern parts of Ireland, this is an amazing way to do just that!Show more

  Can you confirm if the Blarney Castle and Blarney Stone are on the itinerary?

  This tour does not visit the Blarney Castle sadly. We have another tour, the Emerald Isle, which does specifically visit Blarney and allows the opportunity to kiss the Blarney Stone.
