This was a brilliant holiday, all the accommodation was first class. Well planned activities, a superb leader/driver (Austin). I particularly enjoyed the day trip to the Aran Islands but everything was amazing. Thank you so much!!

We went out n the six day west of Ireland through the North of Ireland. Lee Jones was our tour guide and he was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and took us to beautiful locations and personalized this for us.

Our driver, tour guide, Anthony was terrific. He went out of his way to provide each of us the experiences we wanted. The small group off 13 were all great company and I believe we all had a great time.

Headline: “Bus tour skeptic father” has life changing Irish Experience, as entire family falls in love with Ireland. Exceeding expectations doesn’t even begin to capture our feelings after 5-days with Lee, rolling through the geography, history, food, drink and songs of Ireland. The tour is perfectly paced; it would be near impossible to self-organize as effectively as IET has done. Always hitting famous attractions, like Blarney Castle & the Dublin Guinness brewery, the tour is rich with lesser known landmarks that are equally magnificent & inspiring, like Slea Head drive, Dingle and the Burren, to name a few. Transport was luxurious and immaculate; comfort and ease aren’t just objectives, they are the essence of each day, and IET and your Guide see to this every moment you are in their care. Speaking of your Guide, Lee is an exemplar without equal in this role. To say he was friendly and informative - defining aspects of a good guide - is simply an understatement. Lee is encyclopedic in his knowledge of the vast history of Ireland and his constant attention to detail in how he presents this information feels effortless. A data-centre powered AI could never perform as he does; passion and humanity in equal measure, with a delivery style that quickly left us feeling like a long lost friend had suddenly been given PhD in Irish history, decades of experience navigating Irish roads, and the keys to the bus. We hope this review helps anyone trying to decide how to “meet Ireland”. Lee was EVERYTHING you could dream a guide could be, and Irish Experience Tours gave him all the backup and infrastructure to perform at his best. In simplest terms, Irish Experience Tours is the tour company you should choose, bar none. With deepest gratitude for all of the above and everything we didn’t call out here… Cead mile Failte!! 🇮🇪

5 Day South Coast Experience Tour Tour

This is a great way to see Ireland. The scenery was amazing, the food was great, accommodations were very good and the guides were fantastic. We traveled in a group of 16 people on a 25 person small bus which allowed us to spread out a bit. That was important as we did spend a few travel days when we were in the bus most of the day. The trip was broken up with opportunities to get out and stretch out legs, participate in hikes, bike rides, and tours. All of which allowed us to see some incredible countryside, tour major attractions and visit quaint Irish towns and villages. Our guides, Kieran and Mark both went out of their way to explain Irish culture, help us select places to eat, things to do, where to go for shopping etc. They really made the trip special for us. For those who want to see Ireland in a smaller group setting and who want to have more hiking and biking activities in addition to seeing major attractions, this is the trip for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in Ireland.

This was a dream trip for my wife and I and 25 of our friends. Seanie was not only the best tour guide, comedian, and bus driver, but I feel he is now a lifelong friend! The entire trip went above our expectations and the knowledge Seanie has teaching us about not only Irish history but also European history, was phenomenal. The entire trip was a great experience and the fact they were willing to pivot and allow us to change a few things and take on other excursions was incredible. The front office set everything up for us and checking into every hotel was a breeze. The bus was clean and comfortable and the electric cooler was helpful for keeping our adult cocktails cold. Next time we go, we will 100% use the Irish Experience Tours. Thank you Seanie and company for the trip of a lifetime!!!

Lee goes above & beyond as a tour guide - has formed good relationships with accommodation & service providers along the way & as such is greeted warmly everywhere he goes . It was an absolutely wonderful time touring Ireland for 10 days in the sunshine, a great ‘taste’ to form a longer self tour at another time. Lee helped a person in our group find her ancestral home & stopped for a photo opportunity & a little moment for reflection. ‘Mr google’ - knows so much about all the places we went & could answer all manner of questions. I travelled solo on this trip & he always checked I was okay with my luggage - I had made sure I was able to carry what I had, but appreciated his assistance. Accommodation was mostly B & Bs located close walking distance to the town we were staying in. Often a few stairs to get to your room. Lee would do a loop of each new destination town & give us suggestions of eating places, live music, activities etc When people on our tour sadly became ill this was managed exceptionally well. Lee’s personal stories & general high energy kept everyone bouncing through the day. Our group was an extremely lovely group of people & we would gather to have a drink & dine together. We were blessed with amazing sunny weather & warm days. Ireland is a beautiful country to be exploring. This was my first time ‘touring’ & I seemed to have completely lucked in with Lee & my fellow travellers. Buses are clean & well maintained. Lee is an experienced driver & can park the bus quickly & efficiently in the tightest of spots. Highly rate Irish experience tours. The travel App is terrific to get all the Day to Day information. So many wonderful highlights & experiences along the way. If you're booking, read carefully the suggested age group & the pace of the tour. When you travel pack your happy face, so everyone enjoys the tour.
