October 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Oh my goodness this trip was well done from start to finish! We chose the 14 day tour of Ireland. It's lovely, first of all, that this company does not jam pack the bus full of people, as with saw with other tours. Our group could stretch out and have breathing room on the bus. Second, their drivers are incredible! We had Phillip as our driver the first two days and he even came to get my daughter and I when our flight was delayed into the afternoon. He sang for the tour on the bus which was a delight and was knowledgeable about all he drove us to! Our driver the 3rd day of the trip onward was Don, and I cannot tell you how safe and cared for the whole tour felt with Don at the helm. He got to know each of us and our needs and he even put up with my need for lots of bathroom stops (giving us all a heads up when the next stop would be) because the one on the bus is only for emergencies. Don eventually sang for us as well, and he needs to give himself more credit, because he did well! His sense of humor and knowledge paired well with our friendly banter and curiosity as a tour group! The tour tended to focus on highlights and icons of Ireland, which is great for a first trip there. By the time we were scheduled for the 3rd distillery of the trip, we were kind of wanting to see something else, so my daughter and I decided to go to the Trinity Library tour and Book of Kells exhibit, and Don was understanding and checked in with us to assure we got back to the hotel safely. Can't thank Don enough for all he did on the tour and the effort he put into extra events we could choose to attend. I'd recommend this tour to anyone and I'd love to go back again through this company for another tour because I trust their staff and the way they do business!

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

The 14 day iconic scenes tour was excellent and covered so much stunning scenery and places. A bit more free time would have been good but understand we then wouldn't have been able to see as much. The tour group size of 26 was perfect. Plenty of room on coach and able to get to know fellow travellers who were great company. The hotels were all good although the food choice was a bit repetitive. Harry was a terrific guide/driver - so knowledgeable, entertaining and professional. He made sure everything was always ok for us all.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

I have a mobility issue and can't walk long distances. So I emailed My Ireland company a video of my small travel scooter and asked if they could accommodate me. I received a resounding yes. So my travel companion and I booked the 14 day Iconic tour of Ireland for September 2023. Our tour guide, Harry Fisher, was so accommodating, and made every effort to make sure I saw most of the areas of interest, and if not suggested an alternative activity for me. Which sometimes worked out better as in the Bushmill tour, which has numerous stairs. I was offered a triple flight of whiskeys and a cosy seat to sip them - not a bad trade off ! Harry Fisher was witty, full of Irish legends and songs, and a fascinating historian who made Ireland more beautiful, tragic and resilient and kept us fascinated for two weeks. Our tour companions were an amazing group and many friendships were forged across Australia, America, Canada and the UK. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have seen Ireland and for the confidence I again to travel abroad again.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We did the 14 day Iconic Ireland tour with Harry Fisher. An absolutely wonderful experience. Harry went 'above and beyond' everyday to ensure everything ran smoothly and we were all happy and better informed about our various locations. Thanks Harry for your knowledge and enthusiasm for this beautiful Island.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

I recently enjoyed the 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Brian, our guide/driver was informative and entertaining and I heard a lot of new Irish jokes. He took good care of us with his driving and organisational skills. The hotels were well located and of a high standard. The food was good too and I was relieved that I didn't put on weight after indulging in the 3 course dinners each night. The tour covered many of the highlights of the area and provided just the right amount of time at each attraction. I now know a lot more about the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland which was passionately shared by the local guides. I am very glad I chose My Ireland Tour.

My husband and i have just returned from a 14 day Iconic Tour of Ireland. The itinerary was extensive and varied, and we certainly saw some beautiful and interesting parts of Ireland. It was our first visit, but won't be our last. All the tour guides were great, very professional and knowledgeable , and we finished every tour much more informed about Irish history and culture. A special mention should be given to our exceptional driver/tour guide, Brian. He went above and beyond taking care of us throughout the tour, ensuring everything went smoothly, and thank him for giving us a wonderful holiday experience we will never forget . Ireland made us very welcome and we thank them for that . Ireland is beautiful and we would recommend this tour without hesitation.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from a 14 day Iconic tour of Ireland. We really enjoyed our first trip to Ireland and the itinerary was fantastic. We stayed on the go most of the time but we saw and hear so much history of the country. Brian our tour guide and coach driver was so funny! He was very knowledgeable of his country and has pride was exuberant. He was able to get us a few extra surprises along the way such as the Celtic Crystal demonstration of cutting glass. He answered most anything we asked and he could tell you where to go for things no matter where we were. The accommodations were clean and nice. I would recommend My Ireland tour company without any hesitation.

I am sitting at the airport after just completing my 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour with My Ireland Tours. Very sad to be leaving Ireland. Thank you Michael Coleman for being the most wonderful tour guide/driver. You really went above and beyond for all of us. The tour is so well organized. Your knowledge and passion for your beautiful Ireland is second to none. It's such a beautiful country and I feel so privileged to have seen it.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We took the 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour in August. This tour is a great way to see much of the island and most of the sought after sites without having to worry about the logistics. Our tour had only 20 guests on a full sized bus giving us plenty of room. Our driver/guide, Brian was extremely knowledgeable, funny, personable and attentive to our needs. The tour price was reasonable - and the tour is a good value. The hotels and meals were more than adequate, but the main reason for taking this tour is to pack the most sight seeing into your time in Ireland.

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

The 14 day tour of Ireland was amazing. Brain our driver and guide was the best we have ever had. Would recommend tour to anyone

September 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife and I enjoyed our 14 day tour tremendously. We got to see so much of what Ireland has to offer and our tour was all encompassing. We visited museums, castles, distilleries, local pubs , watched Irish Gaelic football championship, visited iconic scenic places and so much more. Last but not least what made our tour so wonderful was our driver Cathal who educated us with the history and other information about the Irish and did so with a pleasant and humorous approach. A+ vacation. Thank You, Cathal and My Ireland Tour!

August 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Fabulous tour! 14 day Iconic Tour of Ireland. Fantastic tour guide, Cathal, who was incredibly knowledgeable, very funny, and an all around great person. This tour hit all the highlights and we highly recommend it for those who want to get a good feel for all of Ireland. All of the people on the tour were terrific too! Lots of laughs with people from all over the globe. I recommend this tour highly!

August 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We just completed the 14 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. To begin, our guide, Michael Coleman was exceptional! He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Ireland; it's places, people and it's history. He was able to impart this information in an engaging and entertaining manner over the entire two weeks. What's to say about the scenery - beautiful! There were three of us touring in a bus with 19 other individuals from various parts of the world. While we may have preferred a smaller group with a wider age range (our son is 14), everyone in the group became good friends by trips end. Sadly, a couple of people on the bus had what was described as a cold. It turns out they likely had covid. A number of travelers on the bus came down with the 'cold' during the trip. My wife and son tested positive for covid when we returned home. Thankfully, none of those suffering from the 'cold' became serious ill. Having traveled as a party of three I would recommend others plan on booking at least two rooms. A number of the hotels seemed to have some difficulty accomodating three in one room. All that said, we throughly enjoyed our My Ireland tour and would consider using them again. Our guide, Michael Coleman was amazing!

August 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

A friend and I joined the 14 Day Iconic Ireland Tour from 1 to 14 July 2023. The tour exceeded my expectations in terms of the range of places we visited and at the end I felt that I had discovered much of the country's scenic beauty, a variety of different destinations and learnt a great deal from a well informed and pleasant guide, Austin. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see as much as possible of Ireland in two weeks in comfortable travel conditions.

August 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I have wanted to visit Ireland for years, and newly both retired wanted to make our dream come true. I researched many tours of Ireland and was so impressed with the positive reviews. The tour exceeded all of our expectations!!! The itinerary was perfectly organized for our 14 day trip as we saw the highlights from both Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland. The guiding force to the success of the trip was tour guide Cathal ( Caw-hell). He was so personable, intelligent, funny and accommodating!! My goodness I felt like I was a student again as he was so knowledgeable about Irish history and made it interesting and understandable. This tour has been one of the highlights of our life. We both have Irish lineage and we felt so connected to the history and the people. The other important aspect to mention was that we had an amazing group of people that were fun, respectful and on time. Thank you for showing us the best of Ireland. I didn't even mind the rain Slainte, Amy and Kevin

August 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Our 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour was fantastic. The itinerary was perfect for us. All the stops along the way were truly worth visiting; not 'tourist traps', and we had adequate time to enjoy them. Our driver/ guide, Cathal, was great; fun & entertaining, and he gave us background on everything from early Christianity to Gaelic football. It was probably the rainiest weather we've ever had on vacation, but it hardly mattered. We would sign up for another My Ireland tour in a heartbeat.

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We recently completed the 14 day Ireland tour with Michael Coleman. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and attentive to everyone's needs. We learned so much about the fascinating Irish mythology, history, politics and culture. I am already continuing my education with some of the films Michael suggested. Our travel companions were delightful (25 people), and we shared a FB page where we could all post. Food and hotels were okay but not great. Definitely would travel with them again if they add an itinerary of sites we haven't already seen, as I plan to return to Ireland again.

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We spent 14 days with Michael Coleman, exploring the entire island. We could not have been more pleased. The itinerary included everything we were interested in seeing and Michael was a wonderful, pleasant, helpful tour guide/ driver. He worked very diligently to ensure everything progressed smoothly. The hotels were certainly adequate and the meals for the most part were good. Lots of chicken and fish lol. And those full Irish breakfasts! The only suggestion we have is on the day everyone arrives, an evening reception would enable folks to mingle and start to get to know one another prior to hopping on the bus the next morning. We will certainly recommend this company to family and friends interested in seeing Ireland. Thanks.

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

First visit to Ireland, we will definitely go again on my Ireland tour, we did the 14 day iconic tour with Michael Coleman as our guide. We was a fantastic tour guide, his knowledge of the history is second to none, he made the history of Ireland interesting. The tour was a great mix of interesting things to do

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife and I took your 14 day Iconic Scenes tour in mid-June could not be more pleased with the experience. From our first evening dinner to airport drop-off when leaving everything was set up to make things easy and enjoyable. All the hotels were very nice and meals were also good. We had never taken a trip like this before so had a little doubt about how it would go but we quickly saw how well everything was planned out. Not having to drive allowed me to actually look out the windows and the added height of the bus gave a much better view of everything than a car.(and probably saving several local drivers from dodging a rental car on the wrong side of the road!) Arriving at attractions and basically walking right in is something you can't do on your own as the tour arranges times and buys the tickets. At many of the locations there was a local guide which added to the experience. The coach itself was more comfortable than I thought it would be, both ride and noise. If I had anything to change (and this is a minor point to me) there was a time when meals got a little repetitive. I have to mention the people of Ireland as some of the nicest people I have ever run across. They were sometimes offering directions before we knew we were lost. (maybe I just have that look) Lastly, I would like to give our driver/guide John thanks for making everything so easy and fun. I appreciated his 'realness' and humor and additionally wanted to thank him for hanging back on some of the walks to make sure I was OK. For anyone looking to take this type of tour I would suggest you call here first and save yourself some time.

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

This review is for the 14 - day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour which we took in June, 2023. We cannot add anything new to the already posted, glowing reviews of the company with which we agree wholeheartedly, including those with shout-outs to Shannon for consistently rapid responses to our pre-tour queries. Even given those reviews, the tour exceeded our expectations. The main purpose for this review is to have our Driver-Guide, Cathal, mentioned by name as being excellent in both the guide and driver capacities. My Ireland Tours states: “You can expect your tour guide to be... 100% Irish Passionate about Ireland Fully Qualified as an Irish Guide An experienced professional An expert on Irish history and culture Impeccably safe in all driving conditions Fully committed to your care' We can vouch that Cathal was passionate about Ireland, willingly and engagingly shared his vast knowledge about the country and kept us safe in all driving conditions. As far as we can tell, he met the other expectations too. Beyond these explicit qualifications, Cathal was personable, sharing personal perspectives and anecdotes which enriched our experience of the country. He answered questions readily and had a knack for keeping the mood of the group light. He responded to some slight teasing with good humour. Importantly, being a model guide, we never once had to ask where the toilet facilities were; at every single stop Cathal provided that information. Yes, that is important! Thank you, Cathal. Thank you My Ireland Tours for providing us with the experience that lived up to your reputation'

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We took the '14 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour' starting 17 June 2023. It was a wonderful tour that delivered everything promised. The hotels were first-rate, the meal choices were good, and the sights were indeed iconic. In these current days of massive airline delays and flight cancellations, we booked flights to arrive a day in advance, and booked a room in the Dunboyne hotel for the night before first night of the tour. As it happened, our flight from Dallas was delayed from a 10 AM arrival to 6 PM in Dublin. The hotel was gorgeous, and we had a delicious dinner in the bar of the hotel. We slept in till noon the next morning, and then met some of our companions on the tour as they made it to the hotel. Except for tours around Belfast and Dublin, we traveled mostly through the countryside, on two lane, sometimes quite narrow roads. Coming from Arizona, USA, what struck us the most was how GREEN everything was: Ireland truly deserves the name of the 'Emerald Isle'. All the hillsides covered with small fields, divided by hedgerows in the north, and stone walls in the south, with every field having its complement of sheep, cattle, or sometimes both. And all the well-kept houses along the way, many with stone fronts and flowers blooming everywhere. Our driver/guide, Cathal Clarke, was a fount of information on Irish history, both Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, as well as being personable and funny. He always made sure we were where we were supposed to be and knew how much time we had and when to be back to the bus.

July 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

I participated in the 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour in June 2023. The tour was everything I had hoped for and more. The itinerary included castles, distilleries, places of interest, and an amazing view of the Irish countryside all around the beautiful Emerald Isle. The itinerary was well planned with much to see every day, as well as free time where it fit best. There was frequent comfort stops at places of interest, as well as the main attractions. Highlights included the Giant's Causeway and of course Blarney Castle. I do recommend arriving one or two days early, or staying one or two days after the tour to see Dublin properly. There was not a lot of free time in the itinerary for this, mostly because our first lodging was Dunboyne Castle Hotel, which is located outside the city. We did not see Dublin until the last day, and our free time then was limited. The best part of the trip by far was our guide/driver, Cathal. He was amazing in every respect. Not only was he a skilled and careful driver on the narrow Irish roads, he was very much attuned to our needs, interests and well being at all time. He has a great sense of humour and is a wealth of knowledge on the history and culture of every city, town and region in Ireland and was more than happy to share that knowledge at every turn. A guide/driver can make or break a holiday like this, and he most certainly made this a holiday to remember. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours in every respect.

June 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My family of eleven adventurous souls recently returned from the 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour. It was as the Irish say 'brilliant'. The trip was well organized, the itinerary fascinating, wonderful hotels and the meals, on average, mostly delicious. Colm, our guide was knowledgeable, eloquent, very personable with a great sense of humour and most important was bestowed with the gift of the blarney ! Thanks for the tour and the endless memories.

June 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I had an amazing time on our 14-day Iconic Tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland in May 2023. Our tour guide, Cathal Clark, was everything you could ask for in a guide. His extensive knowledge of history and the landscape and his great sense of humor made the time between destinations very enjoyable. We had hesitations about taking a trip with 22 other people but they were unwarranted. Our travel mates were interesting and extremely friendly so our journey was always full of laughter. Cathal should also be commended on his patience and kindness. It can't be easy to travel with a group of people of all ages and from different areas for two weeks. It was great not to have to worry about driving, our baggage, or tickets to sights. It was all so seamless. Also the hotels were very comfortable and the food was great. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wanted to learn about this beautiful island. Who knew there were so many colors of green! And so many sheep!

June 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We went on the 14 day Iconic tour. Ben Sullivan was our tour guide and really made the trip. He is knowledgeable, hilarious and a great singer! Can't imagine being able to rally 26 people for 2 weeks, but he did it seamlessly. All the sites, towns, cities were amazing too Great experience and would highly recommend.

June 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

The 14 Day Iconic Tour of Ireland in May 2023 was GREAT! Our tour guide, Cathal, was fantastic. He was informative, responsive, funny and kept a great atmosphere while traveling around Ireland and Northern Ireland. Everything you could want in a tour guide! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable in Ireland. His extensive knowledge of local history was great. The itinerary and stops were well spaced and well planned. Highly recommend!

June 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We had an incredible time on the 14-day iconic tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland. We have incorporated some of our tour guide's witty one-liners into our everyday conversations back in Canada. Cathal Clarke was so incredibly informative and knowledgeable regarding the rich history of Ireland and its people. His humour and willingness to always go the extra mile is a credit to this tour operator. We learned a lot and saw so many beautiful things. (With the exception of the Cliffs of Moher. Who knew fog could be that thick? We're still debating whether there are actually cliffs there). The food on this tour could get a bit repetitive for some at times but other than that, we would do it all again in a heartbeat. We highly, highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories. When someone asks us how it went, we start it off in Cathal's voice, 'Well...'

May 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Was on the '14-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour'. This was my first tour company and trip it was great. Early on, we had to change our driver/guide from Pat to John. This specific tour was really wonderful. Everything we did was well planned in advance. Each day was filled with wonderful experiences and great places for us to visit. Both of our drivers/guides and guest guides were all very professional and yet also very personable, very funny guides. When I got sick on the tour, John was there to help out as while as my fellow group members.

May 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife & I recently returned from the 14-day Iconic Scenes Tour. According to the locals we we're extremely lucky weather-wise as it only rained 1 afternoon. Our driver & guide Don O'Donoghue did an amazing job navigating a 63' long bus down what at times weren't much more than goat tracks. The rest of the travellers were all punctual & polite which made for an excellent trip.

May 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

I did the 14 day scenic tour and it was AMAZING! My Ireland Tour and our guide John did not disappoint. John was knowledgeable and fun. He went above and beyond what I could have expected, including adding a few stops along the way that were not included stops or keep us behind schedule. He always made sure that we were accounted for and made recommendations if places for food and shopping when we arrived at each location. Like said, John was top notch. Most of the food and hotels were great. More than what I expected. I did have a problem at the Clayton on the first stop there. I had no hat water and had to ask twice for it to be checked. Once John found out the issue it was addressed. Dinners were a three course meal and breakfast was buffet style. I found that the driver can make or break the tour and John definitely made ours. My Ireland Tour was the best way to go and I highly recommend them. In fact I'm looking at their Scotland tour for next year.

May 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We travelled with My Ireland Tour on the '14-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour'. This tour company was great - the best I have traveled with thus far, as they were hands-on and very helpful in setting up the tour for us and answering all of our questions. This specific tour was really wonderful. Everything we did was well planned in advance. Each day was filled with wonderful experiences and great places for us to visit. We never had to get up too early, and we were never in a rush. We had two drivers/guides, Pat & John. Both were very professional bus drivers and yet also very personable, very funny guides. They were always focused on everyone in our tour group having a good time and a safe experience. [Note: The WIFI on the bus did not work.] The hotels were very, very nice and the food & service in the hotel and in their dining rooms was always good. [Note: Three of the hotels did not have air conditioning, but it was April, the windows opened and there was a portable fan.] We would definitely recommend this tour company and this tour!!!

May 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My daughter and I travelled with My Ireland Tour on the 14 Day Iconic Tour and this trip was everything and more than we anticipated it to be. We had two drivers, Pat and John, very different in their approach, but both fabulous at sharing details of each area we visited. This was my first Bus Tour and I didn't image we would pack as much into each day. Ireland is a beautiful country and the people are amazing, so warm and welcoming. I never had a full understanding of the Country but every step of the way I received an education I didn't imagine. I will for sure refer everyone interested in touring Ireland to book through My Ireland Tour. Thank you to everyone involved.

April 2023  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

This March my wife and I were on the 14 day tour and we loved the portion that we were able to complete. We started in Belfast, learned a great deal about area and 'the troubles'. Every site thereafter was spectacular and informative. Unfortunately my wife slipped, broke her ankle at one of the sites (Cliff of Moher), a breathtaking view of the sea and cliffs. This moment changed everything, our tour guide Tom Lavin immediately let the hotel know of the incident and proceeded to order a wheelchair for her. Tom made sure we were taken care of, had what we needed, and provided information on the hospital. We were told surgery was needed, so we booked trip back home. Tom had kept Managing Director Eric O'Gorman informed of the recent turn of events, and was decided to arrange a private car to take my wife to the airport. This was such a blessing and surprise. The driver stayed with us until we were safely handed over to the airport assistant . This tour company went above and beyond what we could of expected. When we return, we'll pick up, where we left off. Good Travels!

October 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Just returned from the 14 day iconic tour of Ireland which we would recommend very highly for those who want to experience a full tour of Ireland. You get to see so much of Ireland including several places that you can't find on different company tours. The tour was well organized and the home office is extremely prompt about answering any questions and addressing any needs that you may have. Last, our coach driver and tour guide, Ben Sullivan, made the trip extremely enjoyable. Through his knowledge of Ireland and ongoing sense of humor and storytelling, this was one of the best trips we ever had. Many thanks to My Ireland Tour !

October 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

The entire experience dealing with My Ireland tours was handled professionally and of outstanding quality. The 14-day Iconic trip that we were on allowed us to see the different areas that make the island. As both of us like history the tours of the castles and other historical sites were fascinating. Another facet that My Ireland tours should be proud of is their drivers/tour guide. In our case it was Ben and his knowledge of the history or customs of the various times added to the trip. He did a great job of making sure all the guests were having their needs met. Our group consisted of 26 people, which we felt was close to the perfect size. Another part of the trip we really enjoyed was having the majority of the meals included into the package price (only negative was the dinner menu was basically the same the first four nights, different hotels). Speaking of the hotels, all were of high quality and in good locations to walk the towns if one desired. My Ireland tours would be the website I would check first in planning my next trip to the Emerald Isle, thank you again for a wonderful time.

September 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 day trip through Ireland!! John B. was our bus driver and tour guide. I Loved every stop that we made and every tour that we went on. The tour guides were wonderful and informative! (especially the Bushmill's guide and Jerry Linn in Derry). The sheep herder was so interesting too! The Ulster Folk Museum was great!! John played Irish music on the bus and explained a lot of Irish History. This was one of the best tours ever!! I highly recommend it to others!

September 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Before I get into the tour itself we would like to express our gratitude for the customer support from My Ireland Tours. We were postponed in 2020 due to Covid and My Ireland offered us the opportunity to get our deposit back or keep it for 2021, which was also postponed till 2022 with all the same fees and no increases. Glad we chose to move it till 2022. That in itself meant so much to us and showed how important your company treats their customers. Customer support is top notch. All our emails dealing with Eric over the 3 years were great - thank you. The tour itself started off meeting our Tour Director Austin Mcardie. Austin was amazing. His knowledge of Ireland from county to county, his hospitality, and his driving expertise was what made the trip fantastic. We enjoyed everything about Ireland with the help of My Ireland Tours plus only having 26 incredible people on the bus was a bonus. My only concern was the last day of the tour. We went to Epic Museum , Christ Church Cathedral, and Guinness, then our final supper at night. This made for a very compressed day and hard to enjoy those 3 places due to a time crunch. All in all we would do this again and highly recommend it to anyone interested in Ireland .

September 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

This was our first coach tour holiday and so we were a bit unsure of what to expect. We needn't have worried as it turned out to be a fantastic holiday with wonderful memories. We visited so many beautiful places, many of which have already been mentioned in previous reviews. The guests travelling with us came from various countries, which made it very interesting and we all got on so well. Our driver/guide Brian T made the trip so very interesting and special, he became a good friend to all the group inside the two weeks that we were travelling together. We would like to thank him so much for making our holiday so memorable. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and caring. Brian even managed to smooth things over when one of our group set the fire alarms off by accident! The hotels were good as was the food. All in all it was a fantastic holiday and we would 100% recommend My Ireland Tours to anyone wishing to visit Ireland.

September 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Our family of four took the 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and added a private 3-day extension tour to see the area where my grandmother grew up. The whole experience was wonderful, and made exceptional by the drivers/guides, Sean O'Sullivan for the group tour, and Geoffrey McConnell for the private extension. Both were very capable and knowledgeable and went out of the way to see that our needs were taken care of. The group tour covered a great deal of the country, with a variety of sights, scenes, and historical places. You cannot experience everything worth seeing of the Emerald Isle in 14 days, but this tour does a great job of hitting the highlights. Our driver and guide Sean shared his vast knowledge of the history and culture of Ireland and made the trip very enjoyable. Geoffrey, our driver and guide on the private tour, took initiative to try and locate cemeteries where my great grandfather may have been buried, as he understood the purpose of our private trip. We highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

August 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

In July 2022 we were lucky to explore Ireland with the My Ireland 14-day Iconic Scenes Tour. Great tour! Our guide and driver, Sean, was THE BEST! His historical and personal insights and stories made Ireland a special place. Sean always gave plenty of photo and rest stops along the way, even when we had a long bus day. Sean treated everyone with respect and patience and had a wonderful sense of humor. He watched out for everyone and drove that bus so well you would think it was a compact car! We felt safe with Sean at the helm. The bus was very comfortable and even had wi-fi. The hotels were comfortable with good service. Dinners could have had more variety – better yet - have some dinners out at local pubs/restaurants/homes. Eric and Shannon were so responsive, patiently providing email answers and help prior to the trip – above and beyond the call of duty!

August 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I went on the 14 day tour of Ireland. This was our first time visiting Ireland. We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Austin was incredible. He was informative, funny, caring, and made sure every day was special! Not to mention he was also an amazing driver! The sites were breathtaking. The history was moving and will stay with us forever. The Irish people were the nicest people we have ever encountered anywhere in the world. We saw and experienced things that we will never forget. We highly recommend this trip.

August 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from the 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour (July 23 to August 5, 2022). We could not be happier. The hotels and meals provided by the company were all 4-star hotels and the food excellent. We got breakfast and dinner each night and two included lunches. The hotels were located in center of the cities allowing for exploring at the end of the day if you still had the energy after a full day of site seeing and exploring the local attractions. Our tour guide-driver Austin McArdle was outstanding. His knowledge of Irish history and sense of humor made the drives between locations short and educational. Clearly one of the best tour guides I have experienced. The group only consisted of 26 people on a bus that could hold nearly double allowing everyone to get to know each other. We made several new friends. If you are visiting Ireland for the first time, I would highly recommend this company. Their website offers numerous options. The company is a pleasure to deal with as well. This tour was initially booked in 2020 but due to Covid had to be postponed twice. On each occasion we were offered a choice to push our deposit forward or get a full refund. I am so happy I choose to push it forward. Eric O'Gorman from the company was a pleasure to work with.

August 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

So enjoyed the 14 day iconic tour of Ireland, Sean our driver and tour guide is so good, his driving is excellent, I felt very safe on his coach, his knowledge and storied helped make this trip fantastic. The hotels we stayed in were all very good though the food could do with improving so ..My Ireland Tour you need to improve on this as it was very repetitive Chicken or Fish on mash potatoes or pasta with tomato ! Best hotels with really good food are the first one we stayed in Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Dromhall Hotel in Killarney, loved that town. A good holiday, thank you.

August 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

July 2022 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland My husband and I just returned home after experiencing the most fantastic tour of Ireland! Everything was great from the time we departed our plane at Dublin airport until we were dropped off at the airport for the return home. I must say that our driver/tour guide, Sean O'Sullivan, was the heart of the tour. His knowledge was extensive and he constantly went out of his way to insure our satisfaction, comfort and safety. He was always available to answer questions and to solve problems. Our hotel accommodations were first class but being Americans we were not aware that the majority of the Irish hotels did not have air conditioning. However, this did not affect our enjoyment of the tour. Meals were good but the menu was catered toward tour groups and every hotel had the same basic menu. Meals were also served at 7-730pm and did not conclude until 9-9:30 which made it difficult to explore the city after dinner. However, the two lunches provided with the tour were spectacular. Transportation to and from the itinerary sites and hotels was great. The motor coach was very comfortable and since we were a small group there was plenty of room to spread out. We picked this particular tour due to the small group size and the variety of activities included. We were not disappointed! I'm not sure when our next Ireland tour will be, but it will definitely be with My Ireland Tour!

July 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned home from our 14 day iconic tour of Ireland. We waited so long to go on due to Covid. This tour is really worth the wait! Sean was our bus driver and tour guide. He made our trip fantastic! His knowledge of the history of Ireland was very interesting and informative. We had a great time and would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour to anybody. Thank you so much for making our dreams of Ireland come true!

July 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

We have just finally returned home as after our wonderful 14 Day Iconic tour of Ireland we continued on to Venice to join a Cruise. We waited for a couple of years to do our Irish Tour as everything was cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic and in the interim My Ireland Tours kept us up to date with all that was happening and rolled our tour over from year to year. Our Tour commenced in Dublin on the 3rd of June 2022. We were transferred from Airport to our first Hotel, Dunboyne Castle and what a wonderful place to start our tour in. There was 26 of us and we travelled on a Full Size Bus with plenty of spare seats and room to move for the entire trip. Sean O'Sullivan was our driver/guide and he did an amazing job of driving whilst giving us incredible information and commentary, Sean really made the trip and we saw and experienced Ireland. The bags outside room at 8am then go down to breakfast and we leave at 9 am worked extremally well. It was great not to have really early starts as happens with some companies. The included evening meals were great and tasty, however by the end of the trips the menu at each hotel did seem to contain similar items and it would have been nice to have a bit more variety. Timing of the meal was scheduled for 7:30 pm and most of the group prefered an earlier dining time, Sean was successful in rescheduling our evening meal to 6:30 at most (not all Hotels) which worked well. The included activites/excursions each day and free time in most places worked well. Overall a really great way to discover Ireland without having to drive yourself. Highly recommended.

June 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Our 14-day Iconic tour of Ireland was a wonderful way to see and understand this beautiful country. The breadth and depth of our tour made the 13 days on a bus, while tiring, very well worth it. The star of the trip was our fantastic driver/guide Sean O'Sullivan. His amazing driving skills kept us safe and his knowledge of all the history was incredible. At one point in the tour, he told us since we were ahead of schedule and had some time, he wanted us to see a restored round fort, which turned out to be the highlight of the day, if not the trip. If not for his initiative to visit this site, which was not even on the itinerary, we would never have seen and understood the significance of this incredible landmark. His attention to our needs and comfort was exceptional. Our only suggestion would be regarding the dinners. First, nearly all our tour was comprised of Americans, who were not used to eating dinner at 7:30, and it left little time for exploring the area after 9:00pm at night, when we were all full and tired. Sean was successful in changing the times to 6:30 in some instances, which helped. Also, the food was tasty and ample, but as the tour progressed the menus all looked the same as the last. We opted on 3 nights to seek more variety at a local restaurant instead of partake of the included meal at the hotel.

May 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I just returned from our 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. This was our first trip to Ireland and we had a wonderful time. Our tour guide/driver was John Boylan and he was excellent - not only did he skillfully maneuver the coach through narrow streets, he did it while telling stories and singing! He was quite entertaining. We got to see quite a bit of the natural beauty of Ireland and learned of the culture and history. All of our guides on our tours was friendly and knowledgeable. The hotels we stayed in were top notch, especially Dunboyne Castle hotel which was beautiful. The food was excellent, although it would have been nice to try some local restaurants in the areas. We highly recommend this tour - especially for first time visitors.

May 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

Absolutely the best tour of the highlights of Ireland in 14 days in April 2022. Our driver Ben Sullivan made it his priority to take care of our small group of 11 in a professional manner. He told us so many great stories about the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland...even taught us an Irish song (The Parting Glass) and his sense of humor was next to none. All of our hotels were comfortable with plenty of food to eat. We even saw a day- old foal at the National Stud. If anyone is thinking of touring Ireland, I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

May 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My Ireland Tours 14 Day Iconic Tour, April 16-29, 2022. What a beautiful trip my sister and I had. Mr. Ben Sullivan was our tour guide, a talented man full of songs, stories and facts of where we visited. Ben was gracious to stop at a small county road where our great-grandfather lived and photographed us there. Thank you for that, Ben. Looking forward to my next tour with this great Tour Company.

March 2022  •  14 Day Iconic Scenes

My daughter and I did the 14 day Iconic tour. It was our dream vacation and well worth it. In Northern Ireland our driver/guide had a local guide find the place where my wee nanny was born. We signed the peace wall. Every city every town was so beautiful and our guide/driver knew so much. He also keep us laughing. If an issue arises, My Ireland Tour team were right on it. The hotels we stayed at were perfect, the food was perfect (this coming from someone who is allergic to just about everything. My daughter has a dairy allergy and gluten intolerant and the hotels knew this before we even arrived) for the first time on vacation I didn't have to worry about food. Our driver even went off the beaten path so we could really get to see the locals and the land. He would always stop for a “Kodak' moment. Then the scheduled destinations like the Ring of Kerry, The distilleries (Bush Mills & Jameson) and so were outstanding. My Ireland Tour really knew how to put a package together to suit everyone one's interests. Well done!
