waterford crystal has been closed down for years yet you include it in your tour. Please explain.

We are very excited to hear from you! To clarify, the Waterford Crystal has been open and we haven't had any issues with the entrances for our past passengers. If it would be closed, we would have replaced this excursion with another activity as well.

I'd like to look further into this tour, but I'd be looking toward the Spring of 2025. First, do you have any 2025 dates and prices yet, and if not, when will they come out? Also, can I be on the list to receive information when it does come out for that period. Second, I'd love to look at the hotels you use on this itinerary.

Below are the hotels we include: • 2 nights in Dublin at the Academy Plaza 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room • 2 nights in Belfast at the Maldron 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room • 1 night in Donegal at the Jackson's 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room • 2 nights in Galway at the Clayton 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room • 2 nights in Cork City at the Clayton 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room • 2 nights in Kilkenny at the Kilkenny 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room. Our 2025 should be out mid-March, unfortunately, we are not able to add you to a list to keep you posted.
