Irish Tourism  Avis 1 017

Wonderful trip we loved seeing Ireland the itenerary was great and loved the hotels and day trips to ring of Kerry, dingle peninsula, Dublin was our favorite city but loved Cork and Galway also the Cliffs of moher were beautiful and unforgettable!

It was such a pleasure to work with Linda L. She listened to what we wanted to experience and boy did she deliver. The car and places to stay were decided for us ahead of time and no effort on our part. The accommodations she booked for us were perfect!! In wonderful locations with all the amenities we enjoy. Easy to get to all the places with ease of walking or driving. The possible itineraries shared of what you could explore as you traveled from point A to point B were so extensive and detailed it gave us all the information we needed to decide what we wanted to visit. I personally loved the disclaimer that you will NOT be able to do it all bc I would have tried to!! Just means we need to come back!! Irish Tourism was such a gem to find to plan our visit to the Emerald Isle.

Nuala helped us tailor our self driving tour to our specific wishes and accommodated any changes we asked for. She had lots of great suggestions. When we stayed in a city centre, it was always in walking distance to pubs, restaurants and shops. We never had to drive in the evening.

With the assistance of Stephanie G.,my wife and I were able to create our own unique Irish adventure. As this was our third trip managed through Irish Tourism, we had a fairly good idea of what we wanted to see during our trip. We supplied Stephanie with a general concept of the things we wanted to explore and the areas that we wanted to visit. She was able to operationalize that into the trip of a lifetime. Her flexibility and inspired selection of places to reside in why we traversed across the beauty of this island were exceptional.
We also would like to cite the endeavors of our driver/guide, Ciaran M. for his tireless efforts during the 12 days that we were in country, which made our vacation the very best. His knowledge of the local histories/geography of the areas we visited and his skill in navigating many backcountry roads provided us with opportunities to enjoy and experience interesting settings that were previously unknown to us. His expertise was hugely appreciated.
As mentioned earlier, this was our third interaction with Stephanie and Irish Tourism, and each has been extremely satisfying. They always take care of you!

We recently returned home after a two week tour of Ireland. We were excited about the trip for many months in anticipation of this vacation for our 25th Anniversary. We have been on many trips across the world over the years and without question this was the pinnacle of all vacations. The itinerary Maria compiled for us and the hotels she chose were all exceptional, with true Irish hospitality wherever we went. Kieran was our driver and tour guide throughout this trip. This gentleman was nothing short of exceptional as both a guide and driver. He was well informed, punctual and has become a dear friend to both my husband any myself. The entire trip was a success that went above and beyond all of our expectations. Thank you!

We had a great time! Attractions selected were well-chosen, hotels booked were excellent and the drivers were well -informed and extremely helpful. Our trip was seamless.

We loved our 6 day self drive Ireland adventure with Irish Tourism the car hire was seamless and our accommodation fantastic allowing us the freedom to explore the surrounding areas at our own pace.
Highly recommended and we will return.

Worked with Niamh from Irish Tourism for our self drive holiday in Ireland a few weeks ago now and would thoroughly recommend them to people wanting to visit Ireland.
Miamh went through a fair few options with us and spent the time putting together a package so we didn't feel rushed and got to see some beautiful places, would've loved to spend more time there but unfortunately time wouldn't allow us that, everybody we had dealings with were lovely people, the motels we stayed at more than accommodating and only too happy to help further with local sights, restaurants, attractions and the such.
So glad that Irish Tourism was able to help us and so happy with the way Niamh put our whole package together for us, the ease of being able to pay in instalments was an added bonus and took a load off our minds with the poor exchange rate the Australian dollar has.

Irish Tourism was recommended to us by a friend who also had a Great experience using them. Maria did an outstanding of planning our trip. Not having been to Ireland before, we relied upon her for recommendations for our tour. She did a fabulous job!
Right from the planning stage she listened to what we wanted and planned the tour to fit our desires. The trip itself couldn't have been more flawless. From the time our driver picked us up until he dropped us off 10 days later she created the perfect trip. First, she provided us with a guide with suggested points of interest that we could use to select our itinerary. If we were unsure of a site, our bus driver gave us his input. He also made many suggestions and took us to places that weren't on the suggested itinerary. Maria also booked us in some outstanding accommodations. I really can't give enough superlatives to the job that she and Irish Tourism did. If there were 6 stars, they certainly deserved it. I would highly recommend Irish Tourism to anyone traveling to the Emerald Isle.

Our 10-day self-drive Ireland tour was amazing, thanks to Niamh and Irish Tourism. We were able to customize our itinerary with ease, and the hotel selections (manors and castles) did not disappoint. There is no doubt that we would recommend Irish Tourism for anyone looking for a well-organized and seamless trip to the beautiful country.

Linda arranged great hotels for our stays in each city that we visited. We really liked the Loch Lein house in Killarney because it had more of a B&B feel for our large group (13). She also did a nice job handling three slightly different itineraries for our group and got everything correct so we had no issues with hotels or rental cars throughout the trip. She also provided timely updates throughout the booking process.

They had a wide selection of tours to select. We chose Wild Atlantic Way and they adapted it to meet our requirements, ie a selection of 4 star hotels in the centres of towns. All hotels were excellent. They provided an extensive guide to the tour with things to see and the best and most scenic routes to take.

Irish hotels are more expensive than New York luxury hotels. Racketeering by Owners. Will destroy the tourist industry.
Awful experience. Far too expensive. Not great qualities /comfort. Freezing in winter time . Avoid.

The trip went off with out a hitch. Driver from airport was waiting for us when we got off the plane and helped us catch our train to Cork. All of the hotels were in great locations. Close to the action, close to rail stations and close to the tour offices.

We did a drive and stay vacation. The itinerary they put together was excellent. The hotels were perfectly located. comfortable and far exceeded our expectations. The company provided a comprehensive, customized guide book with sights in each city plus ideas for side trips. Niamh was a pleasure to work with.

I Just want so say a big thank you to
Irish Tourism for organising our trip to the wild west coast of Ireland.
It was well planned out from picking our hire car up from Shannon Airport and then a well planned route taking in many stops along the way as we traversed along the west coast.
We stayed in a variety of types of accommodation which made the trip more interesting and can't say any were disappointing .
The hosts were very friendly and were happy to help with any queries.
We also had a very well put together guide for the trip which gave many options for sites of interest along our route. This was a great time saver and allowed us to maximise the amount we could fit into the trip.
The guide also explained some of the history of the places we visited.
A big thank you to Linda Larkin from Irish Tourism for putting our trip together.

Our family trip to Ireland was a magical trip of a lifetime. Nuala prepared an itinerary that was easy to follow and flexible. Every hotel was lovely and carefully selected for our group of 7. Nuala ensured that every requested detail was met, including arranging for two of our party to meet up with us the following day after we arrived, without compromising any of our precious vacation time. No glitches. Our private driver was friendly and more than accommodating. We checked in with him every evening to plan our next day's activities, while loosely following our itinerary to ensure that we made the most of the incredible beauty of Ireland. My only regret was not having enough time. 💚💚

We had a wonderful first trip to Ireland and want to thank Maria and Irish Tourism for helping make the visit so enjoyable and special. First and foremost, working with Irish Tourism was easy, with timely and thorough communication, practical suggestions, and the perfect fit for what we were looking to do. They were good listeners for what was important to us, and that is a rarer attribute than one would think!

Niamh coordinated and planned our trip according
to our wishes. All reservations for hotels, trains, tours,etc were scheduled and vouchers provided. The hotels we stayed in were lovely and convenient to train stations and tour departures. Everything went smoothly for us. We particularly enjoyed traveling on our own, with only a couple of day trips with others. This was an excellent service to meet our needs.

We had a wonderful 10-day rail/bus trip setup by Niamh. We made a modification to one of the trips listed on their website and Niamh took care of it quickly and made it so easy. The hotel options in Galway, Killarney and Dublin were excellent. We could walk around to everything including the bus/train stations and tour bus offices in Galway and Killarney. We could also walk to all of the attractions we wanted to see in Dublin. Niamh provided vouchers for our hotels, tours and transportation as well as a document full of information about the areas we chose to tour. Thank you Niamh for setting up a great trip!!
