I enjoyed the tour very much. the tour guides were all excellent and very helpful. beautiful things to see everywhere. I skipped the last day but had good company on my way back to Dublin. the only complaint that I had was not much help carrying/pulling suitcase. it was large and heavy and for almost $800 I thought there would be more help. one is pretty much on one's own during the whole tour, with lots of getting on/off trains and buses. lovely people on the tour and I did enjoy it very much.

It was a well organized trip filled with great scenery. The guide was helpful. A conducted excursion is much easier than doing one on our own.

It was a great experience, but why do you put older men in charge of the tours and trains? They go through hell to get everything on time at the return train journey.

We were exhausted after three days of the four day tour, so we returned to Dublin from Galway City. Since this packet was made up by cobbling four one day tours together, with sleepovers and connections (well done), it has the disadvantage of leaving little time free for shopping or private explorations. The sites covered were very worthwhile. For us there was a bit too much in the packet. Drivers and guides were excellent.
