Traveler reviews
7 day/overnight experience
We actually did the 7 day/overnight tour that included Belfast. The hotel accommodations were fantastic! The tours themselves were great and had enough time at each stop. It was a nice experience with different guides that knew the areas well and shared their knowledge. Norm was great with recommendations in Killarney!! Anthony in Galway really went above the call of duty when I accidentally left a backpack at the hotel. He ran to the hotel and brought it to me on the train before it departed. Couldn’t have thanked him enough!!
Finding Ireland without needing to read a map
Great experience, a little of everything. Tour guide Peter was organized, informative, went overboard to make everyone feel cared for and very funny . Would take another tour with this company Finding
Irish history and culture
We returned from the rail tours Ireland excursion yesterday and I write that it is highly recommended. If you are interested in the people of Ireland or in the history of Ireland, this is the trip for you. For eight days on on a fun 20th century Pullman car train. It was a great overview of both. The coach/bus side trips however were uncomfortable for me as the bus was too small for my 6‘3“ frame, but that is pretty standard.
Emerald Pullman tour is an absolute treasure
This is the real deal - the best and most friendly hospitality anywhere! Well planned, and no detail missed. Excellent informed and passionate guides. Hotels were outstanding with charm, and were very well located. It exceeded our expectations. The Emerald Pullman train is a treat and the staff are a treasure.
Would never have seen or learned as much as we did had we done it on our own
We did the 6 day tour in May 2025 and had a fabulous time. Bryan and John were excellent guides with tons of information to share on our journeys. They made it fun. Joe and Jerry were also very pleasant as our liaisons between train to hotels. The hotels selected for us in Dublin, Killarney, and Galway were very good with great morning breakfasts. (they would also provide breakfasts to go when we had to be on our way very early in the morning). There was a lot of transfers from trains to buses to taxis to your next hotel and Railtours did a fabulous job in making it seamless. We very much appreciate their efforts.
