How long do we stay at each stop

Which stops specifically are you interested in?

can instead of Bublin can I get a train to Belfast

There are no trains from Galway to Belfast. You'd have to return to Dublin and then take the train to Belfast, however, we can certainly provide you train tickets to Belfast.

I will be in Cork 7/20-7/21 for a wedding and I am looking to explore the rest of Ireland from 7/22-7/26. I really would like to see the West coast specifically. We are flying home from Shannon and see that most of your tours start and end in Dublin. Are there any tours ending near Shannon or is there a way to just get off the train in Limerick and not continue the ride back to Dublin?

All of our tours start and end in Dublin, you could however, leave the tour in Galway if you wish and not use your return ticket to Dublin. You would still need to make your way from Galway to Shannon airport.

Does this trip include all the train tickets? Do we just meet you at the train station?

This tour includes the following: RETURN RAIL TRAVEL. RESERVED SEATS ON THE TRAIN. RAILTOURS IRELAND HOST THROUGHOUT. VISITOR ATTRACTION ADMISSIONS. ESCORTED COACH. 2 NIGHTS GALWAY IN 3*/4* HOTEL. FULL IRISH BREAKFAST IN GALWAY.
