Lovely experience

We had the best time!! Our guides were so lovely and very knowledgeable. They gave us lots of good recommendations and tips for the rest of our trip to Ireland too. I always felt safe and comfortable and we had a good amount of time at each of the stops. I am so pleased with our tour, I only wish we had done a longer one!!!

County Clare & Galway & Aran island tour

The Irish Rail tour guides & local guides provided an authentic experience about Irish history & the lives of people through the centuries in Galway & County Clare The Conamurra trip was replaced with a ferry tour with very little fuss to one of the three Aran Islands. John O’ Connell provided an Irish commentary of life lived on the islands

Not a “rail tour. “

Day 1 was not a good experience. A lot of driving on a bus with only one good stop. “Guide” was not well informed or did not share info. Day 2 was great with a great guide but was also on a bus. Not sure why it is called a rail tour. The only rail part was from Dublin to limerick and from Galway to Dublin. It cut off some bus time but did not contribute anything to the tour.
