    Everything was well organized, the hotels and meals were good, the destinations were interesting (not commercial and superficial) the van was comfortable and capable of getting us to the out-of-the way destinations, the guide was excellent and so informative - almost too much information to remember! The driver was friendly and capable. The group size was perfect - 16 travellers, and the travellers themselves were all very interesting and well-travelled individuals.

    A very interesting and well run tour. The Driver and Tour Guide were very knowledgeable and worked well together. While it was probably impossible to cover all the delights of Ireland in a 14 day tour such as this, every day had at least two visit/events to keep us busy with self time at rest/meal breaks to explore the sites and towns of significance. I confess I remain thrilled that at 72, I was able to kiss the Blarney Stone. The occasional generous two day stop overs (without the additional stacking and packing frustrations of a daily travel schedule) were appreciated by all. But beware, Ireland is a surprisingly large island and to get around it all in 14 days involves with a lot of coach travel miles.

    There was too much driving and whilst we visited major sites it did not allow us time to explore well known places such as going to The Blarney Castle but staying quite a distance out of the town of Cork. At night I felt isolated. Our tour guide was excellent but as we drove through the country I would like to have more brief commentary on where we were. I felt like I was watching the same patch of blur through my window.. the hotels were well chosen generally
