do you help with flights from USA

we don't book flights but perhaps I can advise you on flights to Ireland - where are you based?

Do you change hotels each day? Is there free time each day? Are you dropped off at hotel each day as we will not have a car. Are all parts of this tour guided on a bus or van?

Do you change hotels each day? Yes & no - 5 single nights, one double night and one triple night. This tour is designed with a relaxed pace in mind. You'll enjoy multi-night stays in key locations (including 3 nights in Galway and 2 nights in Dingle), so you're not packing up every morning. This gives you time to settle in and properly enjoy each area. One night stays in Kinsale, Killarney, Donegal, Derry & Belfast Is there free time each day? Yes. While each day includes guided sightseeing and highlights, there is free time built in most days, particularly in the afternoons and evenings. This allows you to explore on your own, relax, enjoy local pubs or restaurants, or simply take things at your own pace. Free time in Killarney National Park - from early morning until late afternoon Free time in Dingle town - from lunch time until next day Full free day in Galway city Free time in Belfast - from early morning until afternoon. Are we dropped off at the hotel each day (since we won't have a car)? Absolutely. You'll be transported door-to-door throughout the tour. Each day ends with drop-off at your accommodation, and morning pick-ups are from the hotel as well — you won't need a car at any point. Are all parts of the tour guided on a bus or van? By a luxury bus. The tour is led by a professional driver-guide traveling with you in a comfortable small-group vehicle. They handle all driving, logistics, storytelling, and local insights. At certain sites, you'll also have time to explore independently once you arrive. Overall, it's a wonderful balance of expert guidance, comfort, and freedom, without the stress of planning or driving yourself.

how small is small group

Our Ultimate tours run with a maximum of 16 guests. This size is intentionally kept small to ensure: A relaxed, intimate travel experience Easy access to local guides, stories, and culture Flexibility throughout the itinerary Plenty of space and comfort on the touring vehicl A friendly, social group atmosphere without feeling crowded. Most departures have a lovely mix of couples and friends travelling together, typically aged 40+, making it enjoyable and easy-going.

As I am travelling on my own, with the B&B accommodation, will I have my own bedroom and bathroom and what facilities are in the room. Thanks

Yes, as a solo traveller booked on the B&B Single option, you will have your own private bedroom and your own private bathroom throughout the tour. What to expect in your B&B room: Private ensuite bathroom (toilet, shower, sink), Comfortable double or single bed, Free Wi-Fi, Tea/coffee facilities, Hairdryer, Towels and toiletries, Wardrobe or hanging space, Heating (all rooms are fully heated in cooler months)

Does your tour visit Ennis? & how long is the stop at Newgrange? This is a MUST see (again) for me. The Information Centre opened the week before my previous visit....are they still doing tours to the mound?

We do not include Newgrange on our tour - we suggest you do this as a day trip before your tour begins from Dublin.

Which company is operating this tour? How many people in the group?

we are Irish Experience Tours. 16 people max on our tours.

Is there a tour late February early march?

We don't specifically have this tour departing in Feb/March but see below for Tours in March

Is it possible for all three of us to share a room to save some money (instead of paying the upcharge for him to have his own room)? This is his graduation and 18th birthday present, so we want it to be special, but we are also on a budget. We are also interested in possibly arriving in Dublin a couple of days early. Could you help us arrange accommodations for the extra couple of nights as well?

Yes, no problem at all — you can absolutely book three people into a twin room with an extra bed. When booking, just choose twin room x 3 and we'll make sure your son is accommodated in the same room with you. And yes, we'd be delighted to help arrange your pre-tour accommodation in Dublin for the extra nights. Many of our guests like to arrive early to settle in, explore the city, and ease into the adventure, so we can take care of that for you.

is it possible for all of us to share a room? my husband has some mobility limitations, using a stick or a walker. i see that you offer options on most activities, and he will have the support of myself and his sister. do you think the tour would be manageable for him?

if you book twin room x 3 we can book a triple room. Large double bed and one single bed. I can try for three single beds in one room where possible. The tour will be no problem for him. I suggest you book the premium hotel package to avoid stairs only accommodations

Can I still go on the tour? I am 87-year-old.

Yes of course you can. I would suggest you book premium hotel package if you have an issue with stairs.

Totally recommend this tour, I was a solo traveller and it was safe and everyone was so lovely and friendly. The only thing, I think is 2 nights in Dingle is not enough. The Derry stay should not be included, however have the Derry tour as I think it’s important but stay at Belfast longer.Show more

WOW! From Castles to Gardens to the Wild Atlantic—this was the BEST 11days/10 nights tour of Ireland I could have imagined!! Our group of five began in Dublin and headed southwest to Kinsale. Our coach-bus driver (Lee) was a “walking encyclopedia.” His knowledge and passion for his native country exuded with joy, love and humor of the Irish people. The following morning, we were on our way the to the Blarney Castle. Lee made sure we arrived early to avoid the long lines for Kissing the Blarney Stone. His attention to every detail was magnificent! When we took the ferry to the Aran islands, he delivered us early enough to board and sit on the side w/the best view! The walking tours were wonderful with guides that Lee had researched for their knowledge and presentation. The group photos, the pubs and restaurants were all suggested by our fantastic host/driver. Did I mention… he picked up our bags from our bedroom doors each morning to load the bus while we ate our nourishing “Irish Breakfast.” Shortly after departures, He made pitstops for “toilettes and snacks.” Every detail was above and beyond expectations. I will only travel again with Irish Experience Tours!!!Show more

Went on the 11 day tour with Lee Jones as our guide. Went with my mom and my 92 year old grandmother and the 3 of us had the absolute greatest trip we could have ever imagined. Lee’s passion and knowledge of all things Irish was out of this world. My grandmother who has been on so many other tours of just about everywhere you can think of said it was the greatest trip she’s ever been on and she’s been on 3 other tours of Ireland before this one. Our tour guide Lee was the coolest guy I’ve ever met. He was so helpful not just with us but with everyone in our group. He made it a truly unforgettable trip. He’s the best tour guide you could ever hope for. He went so far above and beyond. If you’re gonna go to Ireland make sure you choose Lee as your guide, you won’t be disappointed.Show more

Our 11‑day Anti‑Clockwise tour of Ireland was more than we ever expected. Each day brought a new mix of excitement, discovery, and breathtaking scenery. The pace was lively—sometimes exhausting—but always rewarding. We enjoyed comfortable accommodations throughout the trip, and the delicious breakfasts each morning gave us the perfect start to our days. A special highlight of the tour was our guide, Lee. His energy was contagious, and his deep knowledge of Ireland’s history, culture, and hidden gems enriched every stop. He had a wonderful sense of humor and consistently went out of his way to accommodate everyone’s needs, making the journey smooth and enjoyable for all. Overall, this tour delivered an unforgettable experience—beautiful landscapes, warm hospitality, and a guide who truly elevated the adventure. Ireland left us with memories we’ll treasure for years.

We had a great 11 day tour of Ireland. The trip began with a pickup in Dublin and we quickly were in the countryside with all its beauty. Our tour guide, Lee, was superb. He has a wealth of information of all the places we visited and brought the history and folklore to life. He took us to off beaten places as well and made sure we had the best time and best information. His laugh was genuine and hearty and he always went above and beyond for everyone on the tour. I would highly recommend Irish Experience Tours and especially Lee! He's an Irish Treasure!!Show more

Hi Sean, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the coastal scenery and had such a positive experience with your Driver-Guide. We appreciate your comments regarding the pace. Our 11-day tour covers a lot of Ireland, but flexibility is also a very important part of how we tour. Everything on our itinerary is there for you to enjoy, but we don't believe a holiday should feel compulsory. If you'd rather skip an excursion, enjoy a lie-in, spend an afternoon exploring independently or simply relax, that's absolutely fine. For example, Day 3 offers the opportunity for a relaxed morning in Killarney, while on Day 4 guests return to Dingle at 1pm after exploring Slea Head and can enjoy the remainder of the day at their own pace. On Days 6 and 7 Connemara and the Aran Islands are included experiences, but guests who would prefer to slow things down are completely free to stay in Galway, relax and explore the city instead. The final morning in Belfast also gives guests the choice of sightseeing, visiting Titanic Belfast or simply enjoying a relaxed morning until check out time. We particularly agree with your comments about Lough Eske Castle. It's a wonderful property and deserves more time, which is why from 2027 we're extending the stay to two nights, giving guests much more opportunity to enjoy the castle, gardens and surroundings. Thank you again for travelling with Irish Experience Tours and for taking the time to share your feedback.

  Do you change hotels each day? Yes & no - 5 single nights, one double night and one triple night. This tour is designed with a relaxed pace in mind. You'll enjoy multi-night stays in key locations (including 3 nights in Galway and 2 nights in Dingle), so you're not packing up every morning. This gives you time to settle in and properly enjoy each area. One night stays in Kinsale, Killarney, Donegal, Derry & Belfast
  
  Is there free time each day?
  Yes. While each day includes guided sightseeing and highlights, there is free time built in most days, particularly in the afternoons and evenings. This allows you to explore on your own, relax, enjoy local pubs or restaurants, or simply take things at your own pace.
  
  Free time in Killarney National Park - from early morning until late afternoon
  Free time in Dingle town - from lunch time until next day
  Full free day in Galway city
  Free time in Belfast - from early morning until afternoon.
  
  Are we dropped off at the hotel each day (since we won't have a car)?
  Absolutely. You'll be transported door-to-door throughout the tour. Each day ends with drop-off at your accommodation, and morning pick-ups are from the hotel as well — you won't need a car at any point.
  
  Are all parts of the tour guided on a bus or van?
  By a luxury bus. The tour is led by a professional driver-guide traveling with you in a comfortable small-group vehicle. They handle all driving, logistics, storytelling, and local insights. At certain sites, you'll also have time to explore independently once you arrive.
  
  Overall, it's a wonderful balance of expert guidance, comfort, and freedom, without the stress of planning or driving yourself.

Henry
Asked on September 21st, 2025
Is it possible for all three of us to share a room to save some money (instead of paying the upcharge for him to have his own room)? This is his graduation and 18th birthday present, so we want it to be special, but we are also on a budget. We are also interested in possibly arriving in Dublin a couple of days early. Could you help us arrange accommodations for the extra couple of nights as well?

  Yes, no problem at all — you can absolutely book three people into a twin room with an extra bed. When booking, just choose twin room x 3 and we'll make sure your son is accommodated in the same room with you. And yes, we'd be delighted to help arrange your pre-tour accommodation in Dublin for the extra nights. Many of our guests like to arrive early to settle in, explore the city, and ease into the adventure, so we can take care of that for you.

  if you book twin room x 3 we can book a triple room. Large double bed and one single bed. I can try for three single beds in one room where possible. The tour will be no problem for him. I suggest you book the premium hotel package to avoid stairs only accommodations
