“The sights seen and the tour itself were very good. We started our trip with Rory and he was excellent. The last day and a half we had Vincent and he was not nearly as good. He didn’t provide much information or tell many stories. Most of his talking was complaining about the traffic and other drivers.”

I preferred to see a little more of Belfast...Paul our bus driver was very good at story telling of his beautiful Ireland.And in spite of been caught up in a storm , be visited the giant causeway and dark hedges..I loved visiting Ireland and taking this tour.My only negative comment will be about the backpackers hostel that the tour offers... not a clean place!!..I recommend you go another place.”

We did have bouts of rain but that did not take away from all the sights.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 30 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $610

Two-day rail and coach from Dublin to Bunratty and Cliffs of Moher, then Galway and Connemara, with an overnight stay and guiding.

“I like the combination of train and bus. Our guide was Bob and he did a wonderful job. He showed us some turf peat at Bunratty Castle. The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful. We arrived in Galway about 5:00 so any touring was on our own. The next day was on the bus through the Connemara region to Kylemore Abbey. Please note this trip does not include a stop to Connemara marble store in Moycullen or viewing of the green marble mountains in Clifden. I though it did. I loved the views at the Kilary Fjord.”

2-day train tour from Dublin to Belfast and Giant's Causeway, with Titanic Belfast, hop-on buses, Game of Thrones sites, and hotel.

“This was the highlight of my trip to Ireland. I was torn between booking this trip and a much cheaper 2 day trip to Northern Ireland that I found which was bus based. Ultimately I bit the bullet and paid more for this one, as that had mediocre reviews and this one had excellent reviews, and I did not regret it. You start on a lovely train ride north to Belfast, and then are checked into your hotel. After that, you climb aboard the complimentary hop on hop off bus tour, which you are recommended to not hop off of in the first cycle, so that you can get a…”

The following day we linked up with Bryan, who took us on our tour of the Ring of Kerry and various stops along the way. The entire time he shared the rich history of the region and was safe and punctual. Afterwards, we were dropped off at the train station where Joe was there…”

A 2-day rail and coach trip from Dublin to Bunratty, the Cliffs of Moher, Galway Bay, and Connemara, including hotel and admissions for $510.

“The second day is poorly planned, as you spend almost the entire day on a coach and when you arrive at the monastery there is not enough time to see the monastery and the gardens and eat. On the other hand, the guide is the coach driver himself and spends the entire trip without stopping talking, which in addition to being very tiresome is a danger.”
