    Heather

    Asked on March 14th, 2026

    We are booked already June 7-11th. We would like to stay an extra night in Galway at the end of the tour. Can you recommend a room close to the drop off place?

    I am a solo lady traveller and would like my own accommodation and I do not ride bikes. Will this tour suite me.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      This tour has biking in Killarney and in the Aran Islands but for both you can replace this and the guide would happily do something else with you. For instance in Killarney you would be able to visit Muckross House while the others cycle and in the Aran Islands you can take horse and cart around the Island or go for a wonderful walk around the Island. The horse and cart would be at your own expense.

    • J

      Joan

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      I do not catch uber or taxi so this tour is pick up at Ashling hotel and it looks like no reservations for the night before. Also the drop off is a different place. Any recommendations to make this easy for me.

    • J

      Joan

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      As this tour finishes in Galway and I might like to stay another night. Do I still get the ticket to Dublin airport the next day.

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Yes you still get the ticket the next day and once booked we can even help you with getting a room in Galway.

    • J

      Joan

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      I need to confirm with the extra money I will be paying that I have a accommodation as a single person in the room. As there is a big difference for a solo traveller I would presume I would be getting a double or queen bed.

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      As you are booking as solo traveller, the supplement you pay guarantees a private Double room for single use.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      We have many guests who arrive the same day while others arrive a day or two before hand. Do you know what time you are landing? The airport is only 20 minutes away and most often planes have tale wind so arrive early.

  • T

    Tania

    Asked on January 1st, 2026

    We are in our 40's, my mom is 75. We are wanting to see as much as possible on a 5-6 day tour. My mom can not walk for too long so we need a tour that can accommodate that- no more than an hour of walking without a significant break. What is included in price of tour and what tour(s) would you recommend for us? What documents besides passports will we need coming from US?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      All our tours include hotels, entrance fees, wonderful Irish Guide, great Irish Breakfast (also healthier options and we cater for vegetations, vegans etc) and loads of great moments on tour. What is not included are your lunches, dinners, optional activities and gratuities. We have two styles of tours, active which is the one you have chosen and more relaxed which would be our 6 day magical Southern tour or Ireland. This one has less hikes and bikes and shorter walks and might be better suited to your mum. The pace of this tour is also slower which might suit as well, it has one night in Kilkenny which has one of the most best preserved castles in Ireland, you visit a traditional Irish farm in the Burren National park, you stay for two nights in Dingle and so much more. The more active one can also be adjusted so your mum has less fysicial activity so no worries there.

  • C

    Courtney

    Asked on September 28th, 2025

    We don't ride conventional bikes anymore due to problems with balance. We can walk at a normal pace on even ground. When people are paddling around the water or riding bikes, what do you offer for people who are older and unable to partake in active activities?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      We offer two types of tours, Active and Relaxed. Our spectacular South & West Tour falls under the Active range. While there are plenty of activities included, nothing is mandatory and your guide will always have fantastic alternatives. For example, if the group goes kayaking, you might choose to enjoy a scenic walk instead. When others are biking, you could opt for a traditional jaunting cart ride.

  • M

    Marc

    Asked on September 14th, 2025

    We dont cycle . When others cycling, what can we do?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      Cycling in Killarney National park can be replaced with either a visit to Ross Castle or Muckross House, would depend slightly on the day.

      Marc

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      We are thinking to spend the night in Galway. Is it possible to get bus ticket for Friday morning instead of Thursday evening?
