What does a 3 person room look like? If it is a rollaway bed, I would not want that. If I book 2 rooms, 1 double and 1 single would I be guaranteed rooms next to each other

Triple rooms are suitable for two adults and one child (three adults may find rooms too small as they often have one double and one foldaway bed and limited suitcase space). You can certainly book one single room and one twin room for both of you. We can also note your request for adjoining rooms in the booking. However, please be aware that adjoining rooms are subject to hotel availability, but our team will do their utmost to accommodate your request.

I'm just reading through the "What's included" section, and I'd like to just confirm whether or not the activites are included? The access to cliffs of Moher, kissing the blarney stone, etc? or do we need to pay for all these activities once we are in those cities.

We're happy to confirm that both the Cliffs of Moher and the Blarney Stone are included in the tour package. Those listed in the "What's Included" section are part of the tour itinerary and are covered in the tour price.

We had the best tour guide - James Creegan. He was so knowledgeable, very informative and always so prepared for each stop on the tour. His sense of humor and caring ways made the trip so enjoyable and unforgettable for the whole bus. We all were so impressed by him. He certainly set the bar high for other tour guides. Our bus driver, Tommy, was also the best with his excellent navigating skills on all of those narrow, winding roads in Ireland.Show more

The trip was fantastic! We feel that we saw a lot of the country in a very organized way. The optional activities were well rounded with something to appeal to a wide variety of interests. This allowed for everyone to customize the tour to their own interests and needs. Carol Lynn Toland was our guide and she was excellent. I highly recommend this tour!Show more

Find someone else. After waiting for 3 years we were finally scheduled to go to Ireland but 8 days before our trip we were informed that they had changed their vaccination policy and we couldn’t go. They refunded our money which they had for three years but although we requested a check, they refunded to a charge account that had been paid off so we only got a credit on a card we no longer use. Not to mention loss of airfares and hotel charges. We are so disappointed with their cavalier attitude and unprofessionalism.Show more

I really enjoyed seeing Ireland for the first time thru your tour. We touched base with most of the regular spots for tourists and stopped at a few off-the-beaten path areas as well. Just one comment - the end of the tour was in Dublin and my husband and I were tired so we asked if we could rest up at the hotel instead of walking around in Dublin but the tour guide felt it would not be in the interest of the tour itself to pick us up 3 hours later to go to the restaurant for the farewell dinner - we would have to find our own way there. I thought that it would not be too much out of their way since other people expressed their fatigue as well. So we skipped the dinner. Please reconsider a change to the bus schedule for future trips - I am sure it would be to your advantage.Show more
