What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Ireland Wild Atlantic Way
- Corners of Southern Ireland
An outstanding tour of manageable size (about 15 individuals). Superb tour guide and driver. Lots of back roads and beautiful scenery plus the typical tourist sites. Would highly recommend this size tour!
- Focus on Ireland (Classic)
The itinerary stated that we would see the bottom third of Ireland and visiting various places en route but there were places that it would have been nice to see but were missed out, parts on the ring of Kerry, the Wicklow mountains , the Irish Stud farm in Kildare, a proper tour of Dublin - due to arriving at the various hotels too early - therefore a bit more planning at the start of the tour would mean that more sights would be seen and ensure that the driver did not exceed his EU driving hours.
- Introduction to Ireland
A very well organised and run trip.
