    Asked on July 8th, 2025

    Is the transfer to the Arran Islands by sea or air? If the weather does not permit the transfer, what tour would be in its place?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Railtours Ireland First ClassOperatorWritten July 2025

      The transfer to the Aran Islands is by ferry. It's very unusual for the ferry not to operate, as it's a reliable service that runs regularly.

    • K

      Kristina

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      As the last train trip Galway to Dublin will be in the dark, we wont be able to see the countryside! Could we transfer the rail tickets to the next day, after 10am? We would organise our own accomodation for that last night in Galway?

    • Railtours Ireland First ClassOperatorWritten July 2025

      The return ticket is valid for one month. You can take any train from Galway to Dublin within that one-month period.

      Dear Esteban, Thank you for your email. I must apologise for my error, I had looked at the same dates on the calendar currently in April, not July. Same dates on same days of the week. Carina has also sent me an email and I will confirm our booking for the Royal Atlantic for July 12 departure.

    Is there some way to circumvent the double occupancy & put 3 in a room?

    Accommodation
    • Railtours Ireland First ClassOperatorWritten June 2024

      We can request a cot at the hotels in a doble room for the 2 year old. Two rooms would be required for a family of 5.

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      I would like to know the cost to add an additional night stay in Dublin i.e. 29th March and checkout on 30th March (late check-out request). Also, please advise in which hotel would be staying in Dublin.

    • Railtours Ireland First ClassOperatorWritten March 2024

      Price for an extra night in Dublin would be €349. We partner with a few hotels in Dublin, it is subject to partner hotels' availability. Would you like to proceed?
