based on 8 reviews

I was a bit hesitant at first because there were not a lot of reviews and all of them were from a few years ago, but everything worked out, and I ended up paying less than from the actual source! There were a few things on the itenarary that are out of date that the company doesn't do anymore, but it was as well worth the cost! It was mainly older people that went, but there were also a few in their twentys as well. The breakfasts are always cereal and toast and a lot of the accommodations aren't the best, but you can survive for one night. I totally recommend going. It's a great way to see the countryside of Ireland!

The 6 day trip through Ireland offered more than I expected. We have seen and visited many beautiful places. There were some interesting optional offers that could also be booked on site. The accommodations have always been fine. All in all a tiring but wonderful trip to get to know Ireland.

Super awesome! I highly recommend this activity. it should be noted that the activity is in English (my choice to progress in English). Barry (our guide) was very kind and even tried to speak a few words in French. It was really a great experience and luckily the weather was great.

It was all beautiful even the weather 4 days out of seven was sunny

It was all beautiful. The guide was exceptional, helpful and polite helpful. The places were beautiful especially the western part of the coasts. The time available to visit the places was a bit 'reduced given the amount of things to see but then nothing to object. Good experience

The 6 day trip across Ireland was awesome! You can see a lot of Ireland in a very short time. Price-performance was also great and the guide was a real local with lots of funny anecdotes. Can definitely be recommended!
