10-Day Ultimate Small-Group Tour of Ireland from Dublin

After recently completing the Overland Ireland 10 Day Ultimate Tour I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great overview of Ireland. The itinerary Overland put together was excellent. We saw and did so much much but never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The accommodations were comfortable and so well located that it was easy to spend free time enjoying the town centres. Our stay at Lough Eske Castle was also a special treat. A guide can make or break a tour and our guide, James certainly made ours! He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, a great driver and fun! He also took the time to get to know each one of us in this varied group. When weather forced the scheduled tour for the day to be abandoned James came up with lovely alternatives and Overland Ireland graciously covered the additional costs that arose from the changes. All in all we had a wonderful time with Overland in Ireland and great "craic" was had by everyone! Sin e'

7 members of my family recently enjoyed the Overland Ireland 10-day Ultimate tour. This included my two boys 12 and 15 who had an absolute amazing time. Seeing and staying in so many amazing places was a bucket list trip of a lifetime. Where to start for all that we did? From kissing the Blarney Stone, Cashel, Kinsale, Ross Castle, ice cream in Dingle, Dunmore Head (Star Wars filming site with a memorable parking lot our tour guide James managed like a pro), scones and history at the cookery school, birds of prey show, Galway, Westport where we celebrated Mayo finally breaking the 75 year curse, wonderful sheepdog demonstration, Lough Eske Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Whisky tasting, Derry, Giant’s Causeway, braving the rope bridge, the history of Belfast and the amazing Titanic Museum. Castles, portal rocks, fairies and pubs, so many cool pubs. Accommodations at each location were fantastic each with a full breakfast the whole family filled up on for the big days we had ahead. We were fortunate to have mostly great weather but when it would have been a soggy day on the Aran Isle our tour guide James and Overland Ireland pivoted us to the Birds of Prey show and Cave experience which became big highlights, especially for our kids. I cannot say enough good things about our guide James. Personable, professional and knowledgeable. The trip would not have been the same without him. From enthusiastically chatting hockey with my sons, teaching us about Gaelic Football, helping us recover our luggage from the airline and sharing his exceptional knowledge of Ireland, he brought the Craic. If you need a recommendation for anything, anywhere you’re staying along the way, as my son would say “Cool James” was the man to ask. The bus was always clean and our fellow tourists from Malta and Australia were a joy to experience this trip with. I would highly recommend Overland Ireland to any family hoping to make the absolute most of their trip to Ireland. Thanks Overland and especially guide James for a great adventure.

The guide was swearing multiple times every day and texting while driving which was unprofessional.

If you're thinking of visiting Ireland, go with Overland Ireland Tours! We recently enjoyed their 10-day Ultimate Ireland itinerary and it was all that was advertised, and more. A Dublin round-trip covering Ireland and Northern Ireland, with highlights including Blarney Castle, Dingle, Atlantic sheepdog demonstration, Cliffs of Moher, Burren National Park, Connemara, Kylemore Abbey, Ardara Whiskey Distillery, Giant's Causeway, Titanic Belfast, and more. A trip that includes so many of Ireland's iconic counties and landscapes! Their tour price - which includes travel, accommodation, all breakfasts, tour guide services and entry to a large number of attractions - is definitely good value for money. We liked all the ensuite accommodations and were particularly impressed with the Lough Eske Castle stay :D Overland's team was very helpful and responsive via email before our trip, and also generously supported a change of activities due to poor weather conditions on one particular day. A shoutout to our amazing driver and guide, James! Having an enthusiastic, kind, and knowledgeable Irishman leading our trip was a real bonus :) James was organized, engaging, punctual, and supportive - a true professional! In his thoughtful manner, he made sure to add stops, anecdotes and information to the itinerary to suit our group :) His driving was safe and the bus was always spotless... and he got us to Westport in time to watch County Mayo making history by winning the All Ireland Gaelic Football title!! Sin é :D

James our Overland tourist guide and driver was excellent and very friendly with the whole group. Overland as a company is very responsive and customer centric and allowed last minute changes at no cost. The accommodation was also grand! Super recommended 👌
