Reviews of this tour

June 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Just returned from a 10-day tour with Sean O'Sullivan as our coach driver. Sean was a superstar--capable, confident, and patient when driving; informative and entertaining when touring us around; and an excellent listener, attentive to details. And he was just plain fun. Even when we encountered glitches, like unexpected traffic or road conditions, Sean remained calm, cool, and collected, and got us through them with a smile. I'd recommend this tour group without hesitation.

June 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

When my daughter, Shawna and I decided to visit Ireland, we researched for several days and finally decided to book the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour with My Ireland Tour Company. This itinerary was the most complete with its natural sites such as the stunning Wild Atlantic Way, Cliffs of Moher, and Ring of Kerry, ancient castles, charming historic towns, and because it included Killarney and Cork. The tour itself exceeded our expectations as the hotels and meals were lovely, the people we met were friendly and welcoming, and the sights brought me to tears. What made this tour exceptional was one of Ireland's national treasures, Eamonn Broderick, our guide and driver. Not only did Eamonn bring Ireland to life for us with his knowledge of the cities and areas along our path, but he charmed us with stories about growing up in Ireland, serenaded us with lovely Irish songs, shared information about Ireland's history, people, politics, and economy, and kept us laughing with his delightful sense of humor. Eamonn's kindness, thoughtfulness, optimistic spirit, and attention to even the smallest detail coupled with his charming personality and obvious love of Ireland endeared him to us all. Not only were his driving and parking skills exceptional, but Eamonn took care of us as a loving father would his children with reminders to remove our carry-ons at the end of each day, frequent schedule updates for meeting and mealtimes, suggestions for good restaurants or shops in the areas we visited, and by somehow managing to park his tour bus in plain sight and making himself available for questions so we never got lost. Eamonn often joined us for a drink, laughter, and stories before dinner and sometimes provided food recommendations. Never have I felt so well cared for and confess to missing his steady presence for several days after we left the tour! I would highly recommend this tour, and suggest you request Eamonn Broderick for your tour guide to insure a memorable visit to Ireland.

May 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Just finished the 10 day luxury Irish castle tour and it was fabulous! A great way to really experience the Emerald Isle and to interact with such kind and friendly residents. Tom our driver and guide, was professional, thorough in ever aspect, knowledgeable, and added just the right amount of humor to make our tour fun, educational and full of wonderful memories . The hotels were outstanding, the food fabulous and the bus clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the beauty and history or Ireland.

May 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I was on the 10 day Iconic Scenes tour. I am a seasoned traveler and have been on many international tours with well known large and independent small companies. A large group of friends traveled together on this trip. The execution of itinerary, location of hotels, and overall tour experience fell short of my expectations and standards of other tour companies. Things done well include driver skill in maneuvering bus, cleanliness of bus, comfortable hotels, evening show quality, and selection of scenic routes. The stops were at memorable iconic sites that were well chosen. Several hotels (5 nights) were located outside of walking distance to tourist areas, restaurants, and entertainment. A taxi was necessary to reach anything outside of the hotel offering. Our group frequently skipped the included hotel dinner to travel independently into town as it was the only way to see the tourist center. The hotel on Day 1 is located in a small town with little to do. Pubs and restaurants not open until evening. There were no optional excursions, drop off to Dublin or optional evening entertainment. The tour director is also your bus driver. You may pass an interesting roadside site without mention as your guide is driving. The restroom on the bus is not available for use if the coach is moving. You must ask to stop the bus and have it unlocked. The bus stopped 2 times during the entire trip for photos at scenic points. The majority of photos must be taken through the bus window at full speed. We had no opportunity to step out of the bus and photograph something as iconic as a pasture with sheep. The professional guided tour at several sites was skipped in favor of our driver giving us a quick overview. The tour of the farm with home made lunch on the itinerary was skipped and generic lunch substituted. The days start at 9 am and are rushed with no time for a spontaneous stop at something like a farmers market you are passing, quick stop for a sample of local food, etc. The standard with other tour companies I've been with has allowed the guide to provide us with food tastings (fruit, veggies, cheese, treats), or other local lifestyle interactions. The only optional tour we had was to see a sheep herding demonstration, which was delightful. Our group was in constant communication with the tour director on concerns and giving feedback from the first day. If a traveler is satisfied with a basic surface overview tour, riding a coach to experience countryside, an overview of main tourist attractions, minimal pictures, and comfortable hotels this trip would meet basic expectations. Those wanting to fully experience the culture, charm, sights, history, lure, and have a true taste of Ireland may need to look elsewhere.

May 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland with My Ireland Tour. This tour is very well organized and ran smoothly. The tour covered everything we wanted to see and places we didn't know we needed to see until we did! All the hotels and meals were of a high standard, and the two night stay in each hotel was much appreciated. After our encounters with much larger tour groups of 45+ people on our travels, we soon appreciated our much smaller tour group of 26. I must say the star of our tour was Eamonn our driver and guide. His driving skills were second to none and had everyone on the coach in absolute awe. Eamonn's jovial personality and his added information about the history of Ireland, past and present, were invaluable.

May 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We did the 10 day Iconic Scenes Tour in April 2023 and it was a wonderful experience all the way through. It was super easy to book and great communication with Shannon both before and after our trip. We saw so many sights we would never have seen without the tour and our driver Tony was amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge on all things Ireland and we learned so much about the past and present in Ireland and got a few good songs thrown in as well. He was really invested in each guest having a 'craic' and we all did! I would highly recommend this company.

May 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife Norma and I traveled to Ireland in April 2023 on a bucket list trip to see and tour the Emerald Isle. We chose the ten day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour, and are we very happy that we did. We cannot possibly express how pleased we were with this trip. We met some wonderful people in our group and Tom Lavin, our tour guide and driver, was fantastic. Tom kept us fully informed at every step of our journey around Ireland. From Kylemore Abbey to the Cliffs of Moher to the Blarney Castle to the colorful streets of Cork City and Kinsale, we gained an immense amount of knowledge about life in Ireland. We brought back at least 1,500 photos between us. I cannot speak highly enough about our guide Tom Lavin. He gave us plenty of time to visit all of the sights included on the ten day tour. Everyone in our group felt Tom was a fabulous tour guide and driver. If we ever get back to Ireland, we will add another My Ireland Tour to our trip and hope that we get Tom Lavin as our guide.

Fantastic Tour! I took the 10-Day Iconic Tour with My Ireland Tours and it was amazing. It was a good pace and great value. Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten as much out of my visit to Ireland without the tour. Our guide, Tony, was so informative, he added so much. I learned alot about the history and the culture of the Irish both past and present. I would recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Ireland.

April 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife and I had a trip of a lifetime with My Ireland Tour!! We took the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and it was the best decision we've made all year. Our tour guide, Tom, was so great - super nice, funny, professional, helpful, full of great tips and suggestions, and we really enjoyed hearing everything he had to say (from stories about fairies to local news and general goings-on). I personally am very thankful that he is also an excellent driver - I unfortunately suffer from motion sickness, but for the most part I was completely fine on the bus due to Tom's careful driving on some of the rougher roads. I also appreciated the advance notice he gave us on which days would be trickier (I always knew when to take that Dramamine!). I loved the fact that we were in a small group setting for the trip as well! I couldn't imagine being on a larger tour with 40 or 50 people. With a smaller group, I felt like we were able to really engage with each other and make new friends! There was also plenty of opportunity to explore things on our own during times when my wife and I were looking for a more quieter atmosphere. I have no complaints - I really enjoyed the hotels we stayed in, the places we visited, the extra surprise stops along the way, and ALL THE IRISH COFFEE! The process of booking the trip and the pre-trip communication were both seamless and we felt very prepared before leaving. Definitely already looking at when we would want to return to this beautiful country and the other trips My Ireland Tour offers! I 100% recommend!!!

April 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Visiting Ireland was an absolute bucket list item for my wife Lori and I. My Ireland Tour made it one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. Going with a group of 20+ people for 10 days was a concern for sure...but what a great time we had. Tom was our tour guide and he was engaging , thoughtful and very knowledgeable. He made even the long days on the bus go quickly. We was also VERY careful and skilled as a driver. We felt extremely comfortable and safe at all times. The other members of the group were all fun, up for a great time and a real pleasure to be around. We made some truly great friends that we will have forever. The trip itself was a whirl wind of amazing scenery, spectacular landmarks, comfortable hotels and of course, delicious food and beer! My wife had to keep a journal to to keep up with all the great things we saw and places we visited. We look forward to more adventures with My Ireland Tour in the very near future! Thanks for a memories!

April 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Amazing trip with an amazing driver/guide, Tom Lavin! I was lucky to grab the last spot on the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland and am so happy I did. The booking process and communication with Eric and Shannon was seamless. As a solo traveler, I was nervous about going alone but Tom and everyone on the trip made me feel so welcome. The pace of the trip was just right. I loved that we stayed two nights in each hotel, which made for a more relaxed trip and allowed us the time to explore on our own. Tom was engaging, funny, informative and a fantastic driver! He taught us so much about the history of Ireland as well as the Ireland of today. Ireland is such as beautiful country and the people are so friendly. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours and especially if you book a tour with Tom at the helm!

April 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

First the Great: Wow! This was amazing! For my first time out of the country, I was worried about planning a comprehensive trip but My Ireland Tour made it so easy! We did the 10 day Iconic Scenes Tour and we learned so much history. Our tour guide/driver was Tony and he was so engaging, energetic, and really accommodating not only to our needs but also to help make this the best tour we could possibly have by helping us hit on our 'wants' as well. His advice on places to eat for lunch or things to do and see were always spot on and he was so knowledgeable about everything we might have questions on! I have to make hundreds of decisions every day with my job so I wanted a trip where I wasn't faced with too many decisions about what to go do/see each day and this fit the bill perfectly. There was one day where we didn't want to do everything the tour was doing, but Tony helped us plan how best to do what we wanted (Trinity College Library/the Book of Kells and the National Museum of Archaeology) and how to meet up with the tour in the easiest way possible. My husband and I are also not drinkers of alcohol at all, but we both enjoyed the tour of the Jameson Distillery and learning the process of making Whiskey through the years. On Tony's recommendation we did skip the Guinness Tour and I don't regret anything! Now the cons: There were several days where it felt like we were on the bus A LOT but because we were typically hitting 3-4 things a day, I felt like this was reasonable (and we covered a lot of kilometers during the course of our trip). Also, if you are prone to getting motion sick, make sure you take meds every day. I was fine for the first 3 days, but after that I got sick almost every day we were on the bus. Also, the bus WIFI was subpar. We could connect to it just fine, but it didn't actually grant any access. They had a number to call if you had issues with connecting, but (if you are like us) we needed wifi because we turned off our data! On the plus side, I felt like I used my phone a lot less and saw a lot more of the countryside because of this. On the whole, it was wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

March 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

100% amazing trip from start to finish! I went on the 10-day 'Iconic Scenes of Ireland' tour traveling solo joining a small group of 25 total. The vibe was cheery and there were 5 other solo female travelers on this tour - ages varying from mid thirties to seventy-ish, and it was an unexpected and delightful surprise to be able to make such quick friends and bond over our trip. Tony, our driver/escort, took extremely good care of the group and gifted us with his extensive knowledge, history, sites and scenery of the country. There was so much I learned from his stories and even the occasional song. :) All of the hotels were beautiful and comfortable, and even felt a little upscale to me. The tour itinerary was varied and gave us the opportunity to visit so many lovely towns around the country. Tony was available for any request and I felt very taken care of the whole time. I can't begin to describe the beauty of Ireland and the warm friendliness of its residents. You can strike up a conversation with virtually anyone and people seemed genuinely interested in talking and showcasing their country. MyIrelandTours (and Keith in particular) was very responsive and helpful at each step of the way when I was booking this trip. I absolutely recommend this company and will book again when I can return!

March 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I went on this trip solo, and left with new friends and amazing memories! I was on the 10 day scenic tour. Every stop we made, went seamlessly. I loved how everything was ready for the 25 of us as soon as we made it to our destinations. Tony, our tour guide was fantastic. He's funny, very knowledgeable about Ireland, an impressive driver and if you're lucky, he'll sing to you! I am so happy I chose My Ireland Tour to have my first solo trip with.

March 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I went on the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour for our Honeymoon in March 2023. Our tour guide, Tony, was amazing and the tour itself hit all the highlights. At each destination there are 2 nights of accommodation so you don't have to pack up every day which was great. All of our entrance fees for parks/breweries/distilleries were taken care of ahead of time which made things so easy. Each stop felt like just the right amount of time, too. We both enjoyed our tour and it was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you, My Ireland Tours!

March 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I went on the 10 day iconic scenes of Ireland tour. I must say it was a trip of a lifetime. I learned so much about the history, culture and people of Ireland. I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it. I went with my families and was able to connect with family members in Ireland. Tony McGoey was our tour guide. He was absolutely wonderful. He was professional, friendly, fun, and a wealth of knowledge about beautiful Ireland. He truly made our trip special and went out of his way to make sure everyone was welcomed, comfortable and happy. He even sang me a sweet Irish song for my Birthday. Such a special treat. Such a blessing to everyone on his tour. Thank you Tony for educating me about Ireland and being a true example of the NICE people of Ireland.

March 2023  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Did the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour with 9 family members. Ireland is a great place to visit with a lot of history. We had a great tour group and no issues worth mentioning with 25 people over 10 days. The best thing for me was our driver/tour guide Tony McGoey. I can't say enough about him and his overall ability to bring history, fun, jokes, singing and make us feel special. If you can book a tour and get Tony as a guide you will be in for the treat of a lifetime. My Ireland Tour gets 5 stars. Tony McGoey gets 10 stars and my sincere thank you.

November 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We took the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour in July. Everyone in our family, even the 15 year-old, had a terrific time. Tony was a great tour guide. He provided insights into modern day life in Ireland as well as detailed historical information. We felt we got a really great overview of an amazingly scenic country and every day saw something more beautiful than the day before. It was very enjoyable to just relax on the bus and let Tony get us from place to place in such an entertaining and expert way. We would recommend highly.

November 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and this was our first experience with an organized tour company. Shauni was wonderful to work with in booking our tour and communication was excellent. Tom, our driver/guide, was amazing. Our itinerary was very diverse with a nice balance between group activities and free time on our own. We also had a few surprises thrown in along the way that just made our experience even more special. Tom is so knowledgeable and told us everything there is to know about Ireland. He was very kind, patient, caring, and an excellent driver, and made sure we were all enjoying ourselves and having a good time. I just can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves. As this tour was mainly central and southern Ireland which was great because we got to see smaller towns along with the major ones, I hope in the future they offer a tour that would include Scotland along with Northern Ireland. I would definitely use them again!

November 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I recently returned from the 10 day iconic scenes tour from My Ireland Tour with Tom as our guide/driver. I'm not even sure where to start. I have wanted to visit Ireland for 30 years and I finally took the opportunity to book the trip for my recent birthday. I found this company when I googled 'solo female travel in Ireland'. The booking process was easy and the communication from the company was timely and thorough. It was exceptionally comprehensive what to expect and when and I had no issues whatsoever with the booking process. The tour itself was exceptional. Tom was amazing, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland as well as local events and news that is currently happening. His enthusiasm was contagious. He was also so accommodating and when a group of us mentioned wanting to get a tattoo, he went above and beyond to make that happen. He was very patient and an excellent driver on those twisty roads. The itinerary was jam packed with fun activities but you still had time to be by yourself if you wanted. As a solo traveler, that was very important to me, as a natural introvert. And the side excursions were super fun as well. The group I was with was a mix of people, couples, friends and solo travelers like myself, and I enjoyed hanging with them all very much. I can't recommend My Ireland Tour enough and I would eagerly book with them again if I ever went back to Ireland! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Absolutely superb.

November 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We recently took the 10 day tour with Tom around Ireland. We enjoyed every minute of it! Our group was a lot of fun to travel with, Tom was a wise and witty guide. His ability to navigate tight roads was fantastic! The added extras not listed on the itinerary were wonderful as well. We are looking forward to our return visit to Ireland and would highly recommend My Ireland Tour! Well organized and comfortable!

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband & I took MIT's 10 Day Iconic Sights Tour, August 22-31. We're still smiling as we recall great moments from the tour! (This was a make-up trip for our Covid journey cancelled in April 2020. IT was a self-drive tour we'd planned ourselves. When we researched reviving the tour this year, car rental prices were still sky-high, so we opted for a bus tour instead. The MIT trip's itinerary covered nearly ALL the main sites we'd planned to see in 2020, PLUS fit in several places we'd nixed because of the extra drive-time involved. Yay!!) The tour group officially capped at 26; however, our bus group was 17, made of 3 separate family groups. It was a blast, and people were very friendly and fun to be with. Here's the highlights we most appreciated: 1. Harry, our tour bus driver/guide. What a hoot!! He did a fab job every day, and arranged for 3 of us to visit an Irish music/dancing show at a nearby hotel the evening of one of our stops. Harry was very knowledgeable, humorous, down-to-earth, patient--and relaxed, it seemed, even with all of us being his ongoing responsibility. 2. Pace of the tour. We crammed so much into this trip, yet it was paced very well. There were a few times I wished we'd had a bit more time at a particular place, but who doesn't feel that way on ANY trip?? Nicely done. They really did a great job choosing the places to go & see. 3. Price. When you factor in the very nice hotels, breakfasts and dinners included, and entrance fees, the price was such a great value! 4. Two nites/hotel. We REALLY appreciated the fact that (apart from the original start-up night) we had two nights at each hotel stop. So we weren't always packing & unpacking. Harry took care of loading 1 bag/person, so we decided we'd pack up our shared main suitcase & set it out early for him to load; but we retained a small bag each to finish with toiletries & our final pack-ups after breakfast, then simply put it in the bus when we boarded for each departure. Total convenience! No stress! 5. Beautiful overview of Ireland. We know we didn't do the lovely country of Ireland justice, but what a great first time visit! We got a great taste of the variety of topography here, saw both cities & small villages, enjoyed assorted Irish music each day on the bus, and got a feel for its history, ancient and recent; and met some of Ireland's wonderful people. 6. Great company to work with!! Quick replies for our questions. We flew into Dublin a day early & they worked with us to hook up with the tour's airport meet-up on the starting day. Good detail on the itinerary, with more specific timeline provided nearer the tour date. Provided contact info for Harry, in case it was needed. We stayed three days after the tour ended, and Harry still answered a text question. Thanks, My Ireland Tour, for a truly great Irish experience! Julie & Earl (Arizona & Vermont, USA)

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Theresa and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our 10 day iconic tour of Ireland. Everything about it was perfect. Great tourist sights, hotels and meals. Far beyond what we expected. Your country is beautiful! Our tour guide Tony was fantastic. He provided a wonderful history lesson with an endearing sense of humor. He also has quite the singing voice. We will treasure our memory of Ireland and its people. Thank you for providing this wonderful experience. We will highly recommend My Ireland Tour.

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We could not have enjoyed our '10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland' tour more, it was just so wonderful! Our tour guide was phenomenal, knowledgeable, an excellent driver, humorous and recommended extra activities which we might enjoy at every stop along the way. We completely appreciated the fact that My Ireland Tours partners with family-owned and operated businesses and hotels and supports the small business people all along the route of their tours. We just can't give enough praise for this tour company and our tour guide! We came into the tour with very high expectations/hopes, and the experience far exceeded what we could have imagined.

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Kia ora,My partner and i chose the 10 day iconic sights of Ireland and were not disappointed.10 days seem to be the right amount of time,not to rushed and not too long.Our guide Tom made the tour for us.His manner,knowledge,patience and excellent driving were outstanding.The coach was comfortable and by limiting the numbers to 26,we could spread out in the bus . The motels we stayed in were top notch as was the service.The food generally was very good,especially the full on breakfasts, with the odd meal letting down the otherwise 100%rating. Also helping the enjoyment of the experience were our fellow travellers.What an easy going,convival bunch they were.Good people. The scenery,rugged beauty and historic buildings in Ireland are wonderful to see and we highly recommend this trip and this company.Finally,yes Tom,Ireland did beat the all blacks,here in New Zealand,and well done to them for that,but that does not make you the worlds best rugby team! Thanks again Tom and the my Ireland tour company, Cheers,wayne and erena

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I took the 10 Day Iconic Ireland Tour in September and had a fantastic time! Our guide Kieron was pleasant, quite knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. The sightseeing itself was spectacular! And while we covered a lot of ground in 10 days, I never felt rushed. The lodging and meals were first rate. Finally, the pre-trip communications with the My Ireland Tour team were prompt and professional. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours to anyone!

October 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My 10 day iconic Ireland tour was quite enjoyable, especially for my sister, who hadn't been to Ireland. The fact that we stayed 2 nights in each town was a key factor, as we could choose to stay in and skip a tour, if we were so inclined. Our guide, Tom Lavin was excellent and very accommodating which was much needed as our family is older and found it hard to get on and off the bus. Ireland is beautiful, but I'm afraid this will be my last trip; that 10-11 hr. plane ride was horrendous. Planes are too small now and too crowded.

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Just returned from our 10 Day Iconic Scenes Tour and cannot stop sharing the news with friends and family. This was an OUTSTANDING experience, with many wonderful memories. Our bus driver and tour guide extraordinaire, Tom Lavin, was perfect! He was professional, kind, funny and well-informed about the history and customs of Ireland. We enjoyed the trip so much that we are thinking of choosing another route with the same guide!

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I went on the Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10 Day Tour in August. It was undoubtedly the best trip we've ever been on. Our guide, Tom Lavin was kind, funny, and highly informative. He is the best tour guide we've ever had. The tour bus was very comfortable and spacious and we had plenty of breaks along the way. The stops were a mix of beautiful scenery, historic sites and great towns and cities. There was often time to explore on our own. We enjoyed the food everyday, and believe me, there was plenty of it! This was our first trip to Ireland and I don't think it will be our last. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours for your trip to Ireland. The communication emails were excellent beforehand, and we ever had any issues. This was one of the best experiences of our lives.

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Returned from our much anticipated 'My Ireland 10 Day Deluxe Castle Tour' the first week of September after two years of cancellations and rebooking. Thank you, to you and your team for all the work you did to facilitate a seamless and incredible trip. We had a grand time and look forward to returning to your beautiful country. Sean was our driver and did an excellent job at not only transferring us safely, but keeping us informed on all the details and history of sites visited. The Castles we stayed in were beautiful and their staffs very accommodating. Our food selections were varied and delicious. Enjoyed several of the Irish Pubs along the way as we would stop in quaint small villages. In addition, we really enjoyed meeting and getting to know our fellow group travelers. We had a great group, many laughs and cherished memories.

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I went on the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour for our honeymoon and it was an absolute magical experience. Our tour guide was Garey and he was very nice, funny, and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING! Also, my husband gets very bad motion sickness, and Garey was an excellent driver and my husband did not get sick at all. The coach was spacious and had wifi and air conditioning which was appreciated! We had plenty of time at every location, although we occasionally skipped lunch to allow us more time to explore whatever destination we were at for that day! Also the other people on our your were extremely friendly and made the experience even better. We highly recommend this tour as we felt it was worth every penny and had the time of our lives! A trip we truly will never forget. Thanks Garey!

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I am so happy that I found My Ireland Tours and booked the 10 day iconic scenes trip with family! We saw and experienced so much and still had a little free time each day. Such a diverse itinerary and surprises each day. The small coach was comfortable and spacious. Our accommodations were lovely other than a few had no air condition. Tolerable but warm a few nights. Open windows and fans available. Food was delicious and 2 great lunches, but dinners did get repetitive. Awesome dinner/show at Merry Ploughboy near Dublin. Can't say enough about our driver/guide Tom Lavin! He made it special and personable with his knowledge, expertise and kindness. You can tell he loves his country and it's people and enjoyed sharing it all with us. Certainly made me want to return. PS Special shout out to Shannon in the home office who went above and beyond ;)

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This was my first European experience; the 10 day iconic Ireland tour, far exceeded my expectations. Every stop was amazing, even the weather! Tony, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic; he was a great story teller, historian and yes, even a singer. He was engaging every step of the way; the itinerary was clearly reiterated daily; we knew exactly what to expect and were provided tips along the way as well. The tour packed in so many sites, but still allowed us free time to explore the beautiful cities. A few surprise stops were added along the way. The locals were so friendly-- I can not say one negative thing about this trip!! It is highly recommended.

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I cannot recommend My Ireland Tour more. We just came back from the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland and it was phenomenal. The company was wonderful to work with from the time of booking through the end - very responsive and helpful. Our tour guide, Tony, was fantastic - he told us stories, sang Irish songs with us and made sure every stop was enjoyable and informative. The accommodations were great and the tour bus was clean, comfortable and roomy. I look forward to touring with this company again!

September 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Our dream vacation was over and above our expectations. We were on the 10 day Scenic Tour. This company was very easy in setting up trip. Communications were prompt. Our tour guide/bus driver, Tony was a wealthy of information about the 'troubles' and history of Ireland. He has a beautiful voice. We all enjoyed his songs and stories. He made the trip special. The sites we visited were breathtaking like the Cliff's of Moher, The Ring of Kerry, the Irish countryside. We enjoyed the Keltic Crystal Factory, The Chocolate Factory, Jameson distillery, the little towns along our way, particularly, Cobh. The final night we attended a dinner & show The Merry Ploughboy Pub. Dinner was delicious and the Irish music & dancers were phenomenal. The last two hotels we did not like. They were clean but staff unfriendly. Meals were repetitive. Every night it was mashed potatoes and root veggies. That got old quick. Breakfasts were very good. You had a wide variety of options. Overall, we would rate this trip and company An A+. Tony gets an A+++. As they say in Ireland, hope to see you again!

August 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We did the 10 Day Iconic Tour of Ireland. What a treat! Never been on a tour before. Our guide was Austin. Warm hearted, full of jokes, and information about where we were visiting. He even had some 'Secret' places he stops. One was a Chocolate factory, out in the middle of no where, but on our way to somewhere! The scenery of Ireland is so different than anything in the USA. Fuchsias up and over the bus on some of the roads....The hotels were great, the food very nice, people warm and friendly. A Tour for anyone wanting and introduction to Ireland. Thank you so much, Austin and My Ireland Tour

August 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We had an amazing time in Ireland for the 10 day tour. Our tour guide, Austin, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He loves his country and it shows! The tour is quite the whirlwind, there is so much to see and do. It's so nice that everything is already planned, from food to accommodations, to all the awesome excursions, yet you still have free time built into the schedule. We met great people on tour with us and had fun nights out with new friends. I would definitely recommend this tour!

August 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This trip was amazing! We had beautiful sunny weather, a wonderful guide in Austin McArdle, and a lovely group of people. Austin's knowledge of the area and history provided unforeseen stops that were absolute gems of the tour. I would definitely recommend the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and look forward to checking out another tour with My Ireland Tours in the future.

August 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We went on the 10 day icon Ireland tour. Firstly, our tour guide Austin McArdle was absolutely phenomenal. The knowledge and passion he has for his country was impressive he made us all feel like family. The island itself was breathtaking and we were blessed with amazingly sunny weather. I loved the fact that the Irish people maintain their history in their castles, forts and churches. Seeing rock walls through out the countryside that were built and maintained by families for centuries. You can feel the history that runs deep with passion and love of country at ever stop and every local you speak to. I would highly recommend this company and this or any of their tours. Thank you Austin for an unforgettable experience with memories will last a lifetime.

August 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

For our first visit to Ireland, we chose the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Can MIT control the weather, too? Because we had sun and high clouds for 90% of the trip. It made both the Cliffs of Moher and the Rock of Cashel fairytale splendid. Most importantly for us, my partner and I felt safe and included, and Ireland is fantastically LGBTQIA+ friendly. We landed in Cork City the week of Cork Pride and loved the plethora of rainbow flags and open expressions of love and community. Our guide Michael is a born storyteller, and our education in the mythos, culture, and history of every nook and cranny of the island left us wanting to know more. When we came home, I learned more about Grace O'Malley, for example, and now want to visit her birthplace in Westport. An aristocratic Irish pirate queen who met with William Cecil and Elizabeth I? Yes, please! The tour planted a lot of seeds, as good travel should. Will be informed by this visit for a long time. Thank you.

July 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This company is a 1st class company. Our guide & driver(Harry Fisher) was outstanding!! We did the 10 day scenic tour. All the hotels & food was excellent, the coach was clean and very comfortable. Harry worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. Can't say enough good things about our group. We would definitely use My Ireland Tours again.

July 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I chose the 10 day iconic scenes of Ireland tour. My experience was 5 stars from start to finish. Beginning with the office staff answering all my questions and helping find accommodations after the tour was over, to the actual tour. Our tour guide Tony was hands down the best guide I've ever had. He taught us all about the history of Ireland, current events, and even traditional songs so we could sing along in the pubs! He answered every smart and absurd question thrown at him from our group. He had a wealth of knowledge about local towns to the whole of Ireland. This tour takes care of everything for you. You never have to check into a hotel, or get lost trying to find it or the local attractions. The hotels are all very nice with tasty selections for breakfast and dinner. They did get a little repetitive by the end but they were all quality, and included in the cost! You're back to hotel every night by dinnertime, and finished with plenty of time to go out and peruse the local vibe. The pubs in each town were so fun! I really can't say enough about this tour. The value you receive for what you pay is incredible. I wish I could have Tony on every vacation, he really is the absolute best.

July 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

When looking for a company to use for our trip to Ireland, I looked at Blogs, TripAdvisor and read tons of reviews like this one, so I thought it appropriate to review our fantastic trip with My Ireland Tour! I chose My Ireland Tour for my family of six (my husband, myself and our four children ages 24, 23, 21 and 19) for many reasons and I am so HAPPY I did! It was important to me that we had a trip that included hotels, meals and entrance fees to any exhibits. I also wanted to see much of the country while we were there. We took the 10 Day Iconic Tour because this tour company offered all of that and more!! We saw a ton, did a ton and had as much free time and down time as we needed. It was priced fairly and we were pleased and impressed with all of the hotels and accommodations. I was worried about extra costs along the way with my large family and it was not the case at all. The bus was new and clean - as well as having wifi (huge!). Tom L was the BEST tour guide. He was professional, caring and informative. He taught us a tremendous amount about the country’s politics, current European Union changes, Irish history and the future of Ireland. He was extremely knowledgeable. He knew this was a trip of a lifetime for my family and he treated us as such. He took very good care of us for 10 days. We always felt like we were his first priority. Tom made sure we saw all of the important tourist spots and added some very special touches that made our time there very memorable. We did not want to leave! I highly recommend this company. You leave Ireland feeling as if you just took the vacation of your life - it is a special company who cares about their customers. A+!! Slainte!! Please enjoy some of our pics.

July 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We did the 10 Day tour with My Ireland Tours and it was FANTASTIC! Our driver / guide Tony was the best and EVERY aspect of the tour was top notch! The accommodations, the food, and the TOURS were incredible and Tony's easy going personality was a big reason that our tour group bonded so quickly! Several of us are already planning a 2023 tour! THANKS to Tony and everyone at My Ireland Tours for providing us with a wonderful trip! Two Thumbs WAY UP!

July 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Recently returned from the 10-day Iconic tour of Ireland with my daughters. Fantastic trip in every regard. Gorgeous, never-ending landscapes, lots of interesting and relevant history and a ton of fun. Our guide/driver, Tony, made the travelling painless and fun, with story-telling, singing and helpful hints-he also knew when to let us recharge with quiet appreciation of the scenery. Everything was well-organized and efficient. I would definitely use MyIrelandTours again!

I just returned from the 10 day iconic scenes of Ireland tour led by Tom Lavin. It was absolutely amazing! Tom was magnificent. Due to long wait times at customs and poor wifi connection, I was worried I'd miss my shuttle to the first hotel, but Tom was great at communicating with me until we were able to meet up. Tom was also very attentive to the entire 24 person group, always asking how our hotels and dinners were, and providing very interesting and insightful information about Ireland and its history along our routes. It was extremely impressive how he was able to keep talking for 30+ minutes at a time as we went from site to site. I went on this trip as a solo traveler but everyone was so friendly I never felt alone or left out. It also allowed me to take my time at sites and do whatever I wanted when I wanted to (and take as many pictures as my heart desired). This is definitely a tour I would recommend for any other solo travelers looking for an awesome trip. As for the sites, it was a good mix of truly iconic places like the Cliffs of Moher and the Blarney stone, and less well-known places (to me, at least) such as the Irish National Stud Farm and Charles Fort. The tour also made sure to highlight family owned/local small businesses so our hotels never felt like we were just staying at a generic Hilton. To would always make sure to give recommendations for places to eat or try out along the way too. We finished the trip by eating dinner at the Merry Ploughboy which had Irish singers and dancers performing which was just the cherry on top of an awesome sundae. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, whether they're a couple, a group of friends, a large family unit, or even a solo traveler like myself! It's a great way to see lots of Ireland.

My wife, daughter, and I just returned from our 10-day Iconic Sights of Ireland tour and are very glad we used My Ireland Tour for our first visit to the country. Our guide and driver, Raymond, was fantastic. He was very friendly, helpful, and funny. His driving skills are impeccable, especially considering how narrow the roads are. He kept us on scheduling without making us feel too rushed. Shauni at My Irleand Tour's office communicated very promptly to help us book the trip and provided timely updates. The hotel accommodations were all very nice. The meals in the hotel restaurants did become repetitive, with similar food choices at each dinner. However, the lunch at the Blind Piper Pub in Caherdaniel was fantastic. (Best fish and chips I've ever had!) My family and I also enjoyed very much the show and dinner at The Merry Ploughboy Pub in Dublin. The sights in Ireland were beautiful; we had never seen so many shades of green! The Cliffs of Mohr provide an unbelievable view. The Irish people were also very friendly and welcoming. We are so glad we were able to visit Ireland and thank everyone at My Ireland Tour for making our trip a success!

My sister and I did the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour June 6-15. It was fabulous in every regard! Our motor-coach driver, Raymond Wilson, greeted us at the airport upon arrival at 10:00am and whisked us, and 5 others, off to Dunboyne Castle Hotel. We were all jet-lagged and fortunately, our rooms were ready at 11:00 when we arrived, instead of the 3:00pm check-in. We took a 3 hour nap and then ventured out to explore until our 6:00pm group dinner…where we met all the members of our tour group. Raymond was so knowledgeable about Ireland’s history and all the sights we would be seeing. His skillful driving of the motor-coach on the narrow, winding roads made us all feel safe and comfortable in his capable hands. He was very funny and we had such a great time with him! As for the sights, hotels and breakfast/dinners…you couldn’t ask for more. Stunningly beautiful and historic places, great food and the hotels were 5 star. What can I say about the pubs and the Irish music, other than it was our favorite part to venture out after dinner and join in the revelry of rollicking music. We even skipped a few group dinners and hit the pubs instead with 3 other traveling companions on our tour. If you are planning a trip to Ireland in the future, you cannot go wrong with My Ireland Tours. Every single detail of the trip was memorable and perfect in every way!

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Just returned from the 10 Day Iconic Scenes Tour yesterday. From the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted by Raymond Wilson until the end when he safely returned us to the airport to fly home, I could not have asked for a better experience for my first trip to Ireland. Our group of 26 people from 3 different countries became fast friends straight away and I'm sure we will keep in touch for years to come. This tour covered so much of Ireland and the individual stops were perfectly planned and coordinated along the way. Our fearless leader, Raymond, kept us safe, entertained and educated the entire trip. Thank you so much for a most magical and unforgettable time!

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My wife Marilyn and I just returned home from our 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. We travelled with a great group of people from Canada, US and one from Australia. Our driver Garey was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to accommodate all of us. Our tour bus was very comfortable and the Irish scenery was stunning. The hotel accommodations and the meals were 5 star all the way and the highlight of the tour was the grand finale at the Merry Ploughboy Pub where we were entertained by the Merry Ploughboys with traditional Irish music and fantastic Irish dancers. We highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This review is for the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland from May 9, 2022. From beginning to end this tour was incredible! Our fantastic driver-guide, George Connolly, was extremely knowledgeable on all things Ireland. He communicated information, shared interesting facts and kept us entertained as we traveled along. Each morning I looked forward to seeing those amazing places on our daily itinerary I had always wanted to see and experience for myself. There were no disappointments. George even arranged a sheep herding demonstration which will always remain a highlight of the Ring of Kerry. I chose wisely when I picked MyIreland Tour company to guide me on my first visit to this beautiful country.

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We booked the 10 Day Iconic Tour and could not be more pleased with the service, ease of booking, scheduling and communication. If you are planning to use a tour guide while visiting Ireland, you are missing out if you do not use My Ireland Tour. From the day we first booked, Shauni, our booking agent, was in constant contact with us and kept us informed of changes to COVID, restrictions, tour expectations, where to meet our tour guide, etc. Once we arrived in Ireland, our tour guide, Harry Fisher was exceptional. Even though we had a scheduled agenda, Harry would go off script if you will, and add sights or experiences we would have not had a clue about. His knowledge of Ireland, its history, politics, best pubs, food and anything we could think to ask him completely made the difference between a great experience and and exceptional experience. When we go back, we will try to plan our tour of North of Ireland when we know Harry will be on that tour. My Ireland Tour will exceed all your expectations and will make your trip to Ireland wanting you to go back immediately. We are one week removed from our tour and wanting to go back already because of the excellent service we received. Thank you My Ireland Tour for such a great experience and making our time in Ireland the best vacation we have taken.

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Our 10-Day Iconic tour May 18th 2022 was our 1st group tour we have taken as we have always traveled independently. I can not say enough about our tour guide and driver, Harry Fisher. He was very knowledgeable and very attentive, as well as his sense of humor. The hotels were 4 star. I must say that the dinners at each of the restaurants were all very similar, so was not a big fan of that. Harry was able to get us into Guinness right away when the line was around the block. He took great care in making sure each of us were taken care of and was always available. It was nice that we had a small group of 19 and all had good seating on the bus. We would highly recommend this trip to others that want to see Ireland for the 1st time and have a tour with a personal touch. Thank you for making our 25th wedding anniversary memorable.

June 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I took the 10 day tour in late May. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Accomodations, food and service top notch. Even though we visited many sites throughout the trip, it never felt rushed. Harry Fisher an excellent driver/tour guide. Many on the tour felt that he made the tour. I would agree. I am now encouraging my daughter and son-in-law to travel to Ireland with this same tour company.

May 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I took my son on the 10-day iconic tour and we had an amazing time. The country is beautiful and the people are welcoming and friendly. My Ireland Tours and our driver/tour guide, Tom were both extraordinary. Everything went smoothly, from pickup at the airport, to all of our hotels, food, tours, and time on the coach made for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Tom's experience and insight into the country, both historically and currently, made the trip even more enjoyable. I would recommend this company to my friends and family.

May 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just completed a 10 day Iconic Scenic Tour. It was fantastic. We were scheduled to go Aprill 2020, then Covid ended it. My Ireland Tour (Eric) worked with us to reschedule for April 2022. Tony McGoey was our driver and tour guide. Tony made this vacation enjoyable and fun. Tony can be best described as a comedian, historian, singer, and storyteller. He went out of his way to accommodate his passengers. We can't say enough about him. The food and hotels exceeded our expectations. The tour stops and photo opportunities were great. The last night we went to a dinner show which featured Irish dancers and singers. It was the best dinner show I have ever been too. If you are plannng a trip to Ireland, contact My Ireland Tour.

May 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Where to begin in describing the once-in-a-lifetime experience I had with My Ireland Tour? I suppose, at the beginning. As I was planning my first trip to Ireland, I was starting to get a bit overwhelmed with where to stay, what to see, what car to rent, and how I would handle driving on the other side of the road while on the other side of the car! (Americans, am I right?) I began searching “Ireland solo traveler tips” when, as if sent from the fairies themselves, the My Ireland Tour website popped up. As I perused through the stunning photos and perfectly-detailed itineraries, I had the growing excitement that this should be the way I first experience the Emerald Isle. From the moment I booked my tour (10 day iconic scenes), through my final days, this company was thorough and communicative and helpful. Everything was coordinated for me to the T. On day 1 I met my tour guide Tom (and some other Tour travelers) at the airport and could immediately tell we were all truly in for an incredible adventure. The tour bus was clean and spacious, and the hotels were top-notch with delicious food and drink (though do NOT try to order a vodka martini). Every location we visited was a smooth check-in as our tour guide had obtained all tickets/passes needed, and he made sure to have us arrive at these locations in perfect timing for the smallest crowds. As a regular solo-traveler, I was a bit worried about not having autonomy on a tour like this, but at many locations we were given a time to return to the bus and some recommendations on places to eat/drink/explore, and so we could head off on our own or stick with the group (though I got lucky in having possibly the most fun group of strangers ever to be tossed together, and we typically stuck together). As we traveled, our tour guide Tom gave us just enough information to keep us interested and educated, but not so much as to be boring or obnoxious. He also added in a few impromptu stops to see sights and meet people that I never would have if I’d traveled on my own. He consistently kept us all updated on times for dinner, arrival, departure, etc. and was readily available to us should we have a concern or need. He even helped keep an eye out for a nice, Irish farmer for me to marry (but alas, we were unsuccessful). I truly can’t stop shouting from the rooftops about the STELLAR experience I had with My Ireland Tour, and am beyond grateful for this experience with their group.

May 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We did the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour for our honeymoon. From arrival to departure, it was an amazing experience. Our driver/guide Tom was phenomenal, always available for any questions or concerns & an expert driver! (You should have seen his parking skills with a 42ft tour coach!) his knowledge on Ireland, it’s history and modern events was second to none. We had a fantastic time and we will 100% recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone and everyone!

May 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I just came home from My Ireland's 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland and could not be happier. Our trip was simply wonderful as it included everything we could possibly want and see during the allotted time period. Our 15 person group had loads of space in the large bus and the various sites were well selected at a good pace. However, I truly believe that it was our tour guide, Harry Fisher that made this one of the best trips we have ever experienced. He was an excellent driver, extremely knowledgeable and often very funny! He included several unplanned stops, including a Garden of Remembrance dedicated to the firefighters killed on 9/11. I will always remember his frequent expression but that's Okay which was applied to anything that could possibly be a glitch in our tour - not that there were any real problems. Most of us were close to tears as we said goodbye. Harry made this a truly memorable experience!

April 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Our trip to Ireland using My Ireland Tours was amazing! We had never been overseas before and weren't sure how to go about planning a trip. I came across their sight and upon seeing the itinerary for the 10 day tour and the reviews from previous customers it sold me on this trip. They were very good about keeping us up to date on COVID changes and were very responsive to our emails answering any questions we had. Not only did we have an amazing time in Ireland on this tour but our tour guide, Tony, was wonderful! He was full of Irish knowledge, past and present, he told the best jokes and he even sang us some Irish songs! He has the voice of an angel 😇 I will 100% recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to vacation in Ireland.

March 2022  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I did the 10 day iconic scenic tour of Ireland and I had Tony as my driver. This was their first tour in 2.5 years and I told Tony that this was honestly my favorite holiday I have ever had and it truthfully was. My wife and I learned so much about Ireland and the views were more beautiful than I imagined. I will definitely do another tour with this company again in the future, likely a Northern Ireland/Scotland tour. The only thing that I would watch is the itinerary on your last day and what time you schedule your departure flight because our very last thing was a traditional Irish music night that ended a little after 10:00pm and my wife and my flight was at 6:00am so we went on 3 hours of sleep but it was still an amazing tour and amazing trip.

October 2020  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We had a fantastic trip , we did the 10 Day Iconic scene tour and can't say enough good things about this trip. Tony our driver and guide was absolutely amazing.

October 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland on the 10 day Iconic Ireland tour. I rarely write reviews, but I just had to share my thoughts. I had never traveled with this tour company, and didn't know anyone who had. The entire trip was truly an exceptional experience. The hotels, the 3 course dinners ,the itinerary and excursions were well chosen and thoughtfully planned. The highlight of our trip was guide/driver Tony. I can't sing his praises enough. Tony was wonderful in every way. He deeply cared that everyone should be safe, happy, and have an awesome time in Ireland, and that we did. Tony's knowledge of Ireland was exemplary. He brought the culture and history of Ireland to life. My Ireland tours has thought about and planned this tour very well. Bravo!

October 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Patti and I were on the 10 day My Ireland Tour returning home on Sept. 25, 2019. Both of us could not of had a better time. Ireland is truly beautiful and we thought our tour had to have included all the best areas to see. The accomodations were more than adequate. All four of the cities where we stayed had many interesting and wonderful areas to see and explore. The group of people we were with on this tour were tremendous as well. Everyone got along well which made the trip very enjoyable as we all were able to appreciate and discuss Ireland together. Both of us agree the one common factor making this trip so memberable and wonderful was our guide and driver Tony. His knowledge and commentary during the trip was so interesting and informative. His detailed historical, social, religious and political information gave us a more complete understanding and appreciation of Ireland and its people. Tony's singing of several traditional Irish songs on the bus was also a bonus. In our opinion, there was not one negative aspect of the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and as a fact,we already have. Thanks My Ireland Tour and thank you Tony for providing a wonderful trip for us.

October 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Our family trip to Ireland was fantastic. All seventeen of us gave it a perfect “10”. Kristel from My Ireland Tour was with us all the way: planning, answering questions, and execution! Our driver Colm was so thoughtful, informative and entertaining. We had fun on the bus and at every step along the way. We strongly recommend My Ireland Tour for your next trip to Ireland. It was great craic.

October 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This was my first time to Ireland and I can't praise this company enough. We did the 10 day Iconic Tour and traveling was so organized, beginning with the pickup from the airport, hotel check-ins, and entry to tourist sites. The hotel accommodations and meals were excellent and always lots to eat. Aside from all the beautiful scenery our driver Tom was very knowledgeable about Ireland present and past. He took excellent care of the group and was always there for our tour group if we needed something. I loved my Ireland Tour and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the beautiful country of Ireland. I will definitely recommend this tour to future travelers to Ireland and I plan on returning in the near future.

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Ireland is a beautiful country and My Ireland Tour had a wonderful itinerary with the 10 day Iconic Scenes tour. Our family of 5 went along with 2 cousins. Everything was taken care of and we were able to just enjoy ourselves along with the other wonderful people on our tour. Colm Clarke was our guide and he was OUTSTANDING! Fun, energetic, full of knowledge, and took care of any question or guidance we needed with a smile. Just fantastic! Our young adult children have been imparting Irish history to their friends since being back - they learned so much from Colm. I'm very glad we booked with My Ireland Tour. They have our whole family's highest recommendation!

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My two friends and I took the 10 Day Ireland Tour. Our driver/guide was Colm and he made the trip for us. It was a packed, well organized tour so that we could get in as much as we could. Colm made suggestions for eating, shopping, extra sights to see and would go out of his way to find something out for us, accommodate any requests, and gave us great information on the sights we were seeing and the history of Ireland. We saw so much and I know there is so much more to see. The hotels were amazing and the meals fantastic - the soups! There were 24 on our tour, just the right number, and Colm took the time to learn about each and every one of us. It's so hard to pick a favorite place but Connemara and the Ring of Kerry truly stand out. The weather cooperated and was nice, the bus was comfortable, clean and we were able to recharge our electronics, use wifi while we were traveling. I raved about this trip so much, my husband now wants to go. And I could go again because I am sure I missed things because there is so much to see. Martina, Colm, and the whole company made sure our 10 day tour was all that it could be. We didn't have to worry about logistics, Colm got us where we wanted to go, most of our meals were taken care of, and it was great not being in a different hotel every night. The 2 nights in a hotel was just right. Thanks My Ireland Tour for a wonderful experience.

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Has to be the best coach tour of Ireland. 10 day Iconic Ireland Tour. We were a party of 4 from UK with 26 very nice Americans. 26 people in a coach for 34 so plenty of room to move around. On board WC and bottled water. Very comfortable coach. The tour packed in a very full itinerary hitting all of the important tourist destinations and many more side trips. Hotels were all good 4-star quality. Food was generally good from a limited menu and very good at some hotels. Suitcases were taken from the coach directly to the rooms. Staff in hotels were attentive and pleasant in all but the Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge. This was the last hotel on the tour and in the restaurant coach parties were treated as second class customers. Struggled to get a wine list or secure a drinks order. No coffee with meal and no bottled water in the room. Front desk and bar staff were better. They did book a taxi to the airport for us. What really made the tour exceptional was the Driver/Guide Tony McGoey. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Irish. He gave a comprehensive appraisal of every site visited and provided a detailed overview of the history of the island of Ireland North and South. He outlined the politics of the island both historical and contemporary. He also explained how tax, healthcare, education and driving differs from the US and UK. He kept the tour to time perfectly and even threw in a few additional side trips to pleasant seaside towns. His driving was impeccable instilling confidence in his passengers.

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

After returning from our 10 day Iconic Tour of Ireland, my intention was to write the BEST review ever written for Tom Lavin, our driver/guide, Martina Hegarty, our behind the scenes coordinator, and My Ireland Tours. However, as I read the many reviews on the website, I realized I couldn't top the A++ reviews that have already been posted. I'll give it my best though. I firmly believe that a successful company is only as great as the people who work there. Tom Lavin and Martina Hegarty are great ambassadors for My Ireland Tours. The immediate, helpful, and kind correspondence with Martina was so valuable to us as we planned our tour. She even went above and beyond to help with a last minute request shortly before our tour started. Tom Lavin expertly drove and guided us on our 10 day adventure. We learned so much from Tom about Ireland's history, iconic landmarks, and information about current day Ireland. We loved the anecdotes that Tom added about his life growing up in Ireland and about his family. When Tom talked on the microphone, you could hear a pin drop because his commentary was so interesting, and we didn’t want to miss anything that he said. Pretty amazing since there were 26 of us! Tom's leadership, humor, kindness, and patience were appreciated by all. Our itinerary, hotels, meals and included tours were all excellent. My Ireland Tours is a phenomenal company. I will continue to sing your praises to anyone thinking about visiting Ireland!

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from 10 Iconic Scenes of Ireland and had a wonderful time. The best parts were: our tour director/driver, Tom, he was extremely knowledgeable, informative, responsible, and he made us laugh a lot, we can't compliment him enough, he made the trip, he even arranged for the good weather we had, or so he said; the size of the group was another plus, 26 people is a nice size, we could move as a group easily and quickly became comfortable with each other; of course, Ireland is amazing and the Irish people are so very welcoming; the sites and places we toured were wonderful, the guides at every stop were so informative and obviously excited about their jobs and sites; and last but not least were our stops at Jameson and Guinness in addition to the Irish musicians we saw along the way. The accommodations and food were a cut above. This was a perfect 1st trip to the Island of Ireland for us. Thanks.

September 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

How many good things can I say about My Irish Tours. My answer is not enough. Let's start with the tour (Ours was the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland option): The one phrase description that comes to mind is 'well paced'. My spouse and I are past the time when we choose to wake up at dawn and keep traveling til dusk in order to see as much as possible during a day. Our tour day was typically 9 to 6. Part of that is spent resting (and viewing the wonderful countryside) while being driven to another interesting area or place. We saw and experienced plenty of wonderful and interesting areas each day, had good guides for the historical areas, and sufficient time to explore on our own. Accommodations and travel: I can find no fault with the accommodations that were arranged for us. We usually stayed in a hotel for two days while exploring nearby areas. It's surprisingly feels much less hectic than tours where it's a different hotel most days. They were all comfortable, clean, and restful, with pleasant and accommodating staff members. And for others who travel while keeping tabs on work or home, we experienced reliable wi fi at each hotel. The bus used to transport us around Ireland was comfortable, clean, and roomy. A bonus was usb charging stations at each seat, and the bus provided wi fi. People: Two words...just wonderful. Our driver/guide Tony was and is fantastic. Personable, knowledgeable, capable, organized, helpful, entertaining. He seems to have personal contacts at each hotel and attraction. He shared history, background, and anecdotes during our travels. I really want to clone him for our next trip. Martina (at the office) was wonderful at helping us keep track of our trip planning, providing itinerary updates (no major changes) and insights, packing advice (bring a water resistant windbreaker with a hood), and all other administrivia.

August 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Just returned from the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. It was a wonderful experience. I have toured Ireland 14 times. Our driver/guide, Mark< was the best driver I have ever worked with. He is knowledgable, witty, accommodating, kind and genuine. I appreciated MIT's flexibility, since eight of our group on 11 wanted to take the full day in Galway to voyage to the mystical Aran Islands. The excursion was astounding. The trip is well organized and informative. The final show at The Merry Plowboy was actually authentic and incredibly entertaining. The hotels were great, the meals tasty and the hotel staffs very engaging and helpful.

July 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This was my first tour group and all I can say is WOW! I did the 10 day Iconic Tour and traveling was so easy and effortless beginning with the pickup from the airport, hotel check-ins, porter service and entry to tourist sites. The hotel accommodations and meals were excellent and first-class! The best part besides the beautiful scenery and sights was our driver, Tony! His knowledge of Irish history, culture, and trivia was outstanding and most important his wit and humor. Our group was always laughing and enjoying ourselves. He took excellent care of the group and I'm not sure how he did it, but he arranged for perfect weather the whole tour ,except for the one day that I wanted to experience an Irish rain day). I loved my Ireland Tour and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the beautiful country of Ireland. I will definitely use My Ireland tour for future visits.

July 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We went on a 10 day tour of Deluxe Irish Castles with My Ireland Tours. The tour was fantastic and we got to see a great deal of IReland and the Castles which we stayed at were fantastic. We had a fantastic driver guide, Ger Murphy, who took us to places not on the Itinerary which made our trip special. Highly recommend this tour and if possible to get Ger Murphy as your guide.

July 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My group of 5 Malaysians enjoyed our 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland starting 17 June 2019. We experienced exceptional Irish weather with only one full day of rain while we were in Cork. The other days had occasional showers, cloudy and sunny weather with very comfortable cool temperatures for us. The relatively small group enabled us to get to know the rest of the group and also enjoy plenty of space in the full size coach. The pace was very comfortable with 2 nights in each hotel while touring and each day starting from 9am and ending before 6pm. Food was plentiful with multi-choice 3 course dinners every night. For us, we wish to suggest more varieties of taste for the menu. Our driver guide Tony was amazing; driving safely, giving running commentaries, checking us into the hotels and giving us our room keys, organizing the luggage pickup and delivery, keeping the coach windows clean every morning and frequently checking with us that everything is okay. Definitely will recommend to our friends.

June 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Hi we did the Iconic scenes tour in June 2019 and I can only recommend this to anyone . The itinerary was well structured , the group size although at the maximum of 26 was small enough to really work well and the hotels were excellent and well located. The stops and routes were always interesting with some outstanding highlights . Our tour guide Tony was absolutely top class and everything worked seamlessly so you could really just relax and enjoy. What a pleasure.

June 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This was an outstanding trip, the 10 day Iconic Tour of Ireland, for my daughter and I . We will never forget it. Our bus driver/guide was Austin and he was amazingly outstanding!! We loved him. He was so knowledgeable and funny!! We learned a lot and have wonderful memories from our trip. I would go again in a second!!

June 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Martina, my wife Joanne and I went on the 10 day Iconic Tour of Ireland by bus. Our very first bus tour and we were unsure how comfortable this trip would be living out of our suitcase for ten days. This trip was celeb rating my 70th birthday and my Irish heritage. Thanks to your phenomenal planning of this tour and our fantastic tour guide Colm Clarke our little trip to Ireland turned into a great adventure. There was never a dull moment, the accommodations were excellent, the food was always good and plentiful, the locations and villages we stopped to visit were truly awesome. We began the tour with 26 people on the bus with us and ended the tour with 24 new friends. We can't thank you enough for making this a truly memorable experience. We haven't stopped talking about it since we have been back ,2 weeks now). We hope to return soon with friends and family to enjoy the beautiful Irish country side and the friendly hospitality of the Irish people. I am truly proud to say I am of Irish heritage. Thank you so much. The McCarthys.

June 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We have had the pleasure of booking a 10-day tour with My Ireland Tours., We could not be more satisfied with the end result. We had requested certain specific locations, and left the rest up to our contact, Mr. Eric O'Gorman. Mr. O'Gorman answered all my e-mails in a timely fashion, made sure our requests were taken care of and even added in a local historian to complete some information and details we were lacking. The vehicle was of the top quality, and the driver, Maurice Kelly, was an excellent choice for our personalities. He was truly a Godsend! All details were prearranged, hotels, meals, etc.. Never was there a problem of not having a reservation or not being expected. All ran like clockwork. The days were scheduled for plenty of time to sightsee, and still arrive at our next destination at an early hour. Very well planned, indeed. We would definitely use this tour company again ,which we plan on doing in 2021, and would highly recommend it to anyone, small group or large who wants a carefree holiday in Ireland.

June 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We can not say enough good things about this trip. From the very start, the booking process was seamless, the information for preparation, and details of the trip were perfect, and helpful. Martina was very quick to answer all questions, and readily willing to help with coordination of the trip, and any concerns that we may have had. Our tour was amazing and what made it so was , beautiful weather ,we were so lucky), our wonderful tour mates, the beautiful country, and first and foremost our AMAZING,FUNNY, KNOWLEDGEABLE,TALENTED, THOUGHTFUL,SKILLED bus driver/guide TONY. He drove that bus like it was a clown car,we felt safe and secure at all times. The 10 day iconic tour was a perfect amount of time to see much of this beautiful country, and their friendly people. Every day felt like something new, and never felt rushed. It was a great way to travel and see the country, without having to worry about driving, allowing the opportunity to look at the scenery instead of the road.We can not recommend My Ireland Tour, and this specific tour enough. Happy Travels.

David and I just returned from our 10-day Iconic Scenes tour. It was our first time in Ireland, & could not have been any better! The weather was amazing- it only rained part of one day. The people in our group were fabulous- lovely, funny, comfortable folks. Several of us are considering another trip together down the road! But what really made this trip fantastic was our incredible guide/driver. Tony provided the perfect blend of information and entertainment. He obviously loves his country, and did such a great job of showing us why. I will never forget some of his 'Tonyisms', or his beautiful rendition of 'Grace'. I'm sure My Ireland has other very good people, but if we ever make another trip, we wouldn't go with anybody but Tony!

We could not have been more pleased with our trip with My Ireland Tour!! We went with the 10 day iconic scenes tour and it was perfect for us. We had 4 in our party that was part of a 24 person group total ,groups are usually 26, but ours had a cancellation). The smaller group size enables a much more personal experience with more time to view the amazing sites and much less time in lines. We really liked that we had 2 nights in each hotel which gave us a chance to unwind a little at each place. Our driver/guide, Tony McGoey added so much to our trip! I was actually teary eyed when saying goodbye. His easy going manner, professionalism, historical knowledge, wit, and sense of humor were effortlessly expressed during our rides with his gentle, unhurried Irish lilt. ,We even got a couple of serenades that touched our hearts : , This was a perfect introduction to Ireland and the tour succeeded in including as much as possible without overwhelming us. Would highly recommend them!

Not long back from the Iconic 10 day tour with George as driver. My first solo tour and first trip to Ireland. It won't be the last on either account. Wonderful trip, wonderful company, good food and even if it did rain a wee bit, who cares. Hotels were good throughout and well-placed and pace was good enough to suit everyone with time allowed to relax or go off and do your own thing. Thanks to My Ireland Tour for arranging everything so well! Thanks also to George for being such a careful driver and such a fount of knowledge. At long last I understand Irish history . . . I think!

May 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from a 10 day tour of Ireland with Tom Lavin as our driver and guide. We were a group of nine people within the larger group of 26 people on the tour. We could not say enough good things about the tour and Tom Lavin. The hotels, the food, the companionship of the people on the tour were outstanding. We particularly appreciated the two night stays at 4 of the hotels. Not having to repack every night was a big bonus.

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Participated in the 10-day tour through this beautiful land. We were lucky to always have great weather but the tour is really well organized. Never big transfers by bus, group of 26 people, good and excellent hotel, driver guide ,Tom, very precise and professional. Great experience !!

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We took the Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour in March 2019 with Tom Lavin. Tom was an excellent Ireland historian, Ireland current events expert, and professional driver, all with a great since of humor. He was fantastic and I can not give him high enough reviews!! He is outstanding!! Tom took our tour group on some personalized locations, that only he would know because of his knowledge and pride in his country, always showing the best of Ireland. Tom’s voice and communication skills are the definition of a professional and we are so grateful for having Tom as our guide. Ireland is a beautiful country, rich in history, ancient architecture, and natural wonders. The accommodations were excellent. The sites chosen to visit were excellent. The Irish people we met and talked with were very kind and friendly. This was a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from the 10 Day Iconic tour with Tom Lavin as our guide. This was the best trip we have taken. We were lucky to have good weather almost every day and the 2 days we had some rain, Tom made sure we still had places to go and visit. The hotels and meals were great, and the history and information that Tom talked about made the trip and the places we visited more meaningful. The lunch on a real Irish farm was such a good part of the trip and the Farewell Dinner at The Merry Ploughboy pub with Irish music and dancing was a great way to end the tour.

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We have just returned from the 10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland. We could not be more pleased with this company. Everything was handled in efficient fashion, yet flexible enough to accommodate everyone's needs and likes. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was excellent in every respect. His driving skills are phenomenal, and he delivered a prefect mix of historical knowledge and insights on current events. He was always professional while still being friendly and easy-going. The hotels were great, and the included meals provided more food than we could eat, always with several choices at dinner, and plentiful buffets at breakfast. This was out first trip to Ireland, and this tour delivered a mix of locations and sights that will not soon be forgotten. We would love to visit Ireland again, and will stay with MIT when we do. Thank you.

The tour has a good mix of natural, cultural and religious stops. For the price you will not find a better tour!

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We took the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour and had a wonderful time. The tour shows a good cross section of the country. We appreciated the smaller group, 26 on the bus. We were lucky and had fantastic weather. Our driver was Tom Lavin, and he was top notch. I'd give him ten stars if that was an option. He's very knowledgeable, always helpful and courteous, and funny, too! We rented a car for a few days after the tour ended, and Tom gave us helpful information about driving in Ireland. The tour is very well organized from start to finish. We highly recommend this company.

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I normally don't write reviews, so I will try to make this as brief and informative as possible. We recently came back from the 10-day Iconic tour to Ireland and were very pleased. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was wonderfully informative with a mixture of historical facts and info re Ireland today; he mentioned Brexit, the EU, road art, driver's licenses for teens, prices of homes in rural areas vs cities, etc., etc., etc., etc. The logistics of the tour were were well thought out, organized and executed.

April 2019  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We were on the 10-day Iconic Scenes tour and were very very pleased with the experience. Our driver, Tom Lavin, was fabulous! He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, professional in every way......AND a great driver. He gave great narrations of various sites and current events in Ireland, giving us insight into some inner workings & culture of the country...something we could not have gotten had we been on our own. Tom gets 10 stars from us! Martina, trip coordinator, was also fabulous. She answered e-mails promptly and made for a smooth trip. Kudos to her! Overall, we would certainly book with My Ireland Tour again.

November 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Our 10 day trip to Ireland was a special memory for our group of seven. We were able to experience the beauty of Ireland, its historic sites and peaceful green-quilted country-sides far better than if we were on our own. George, our driver, was fantastic! Each day he shared with us his extensive knowledge of Irish history. With his great sense of humour and superb driving skills, we were unquestionably in good hands! We would very highly recommend My Ireland Tour! Thank you for a truly memorable experience!

October 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We went on the 10 day iconic tour ofIreland, ,it was my second time with My Ireland., It is is every way a vividly interesting journey through Ireland's landscape and history. Our tour-guide Tom really should be a teacher. His amazing knowledge of Ireland, its people and personality, its history challenges today, gave me a grounding in this place that I would expect to get only from a minimum of a year of living there. Our creature comforts were met at every turn from a variety of interesting and comfortable hotels, to great food from well prepared hotel fare to pub fare to home-made farm fare. with always a choice of great wine, beer or finest Irish whisky! We were relieved of any worry over our bags as we journeyed, every nuance of responsibility taken care of. It would be true to say it was a wonderful group of fellow travelers, but I cant help thinking that if we hadn't been made as a comfortable and organized as we were, I am sure none of us would have been as pleasant or fun, as willing to be curious and friendly. It was all made so easy.

October 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We chose the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour for our first travel experience to Ireland. I'm so glad I found this great tour company on Google. We had a fabulous time meeting people and enjoying the sights of Ireland. Our guide, Tom Lavin, was the perfect mix of organization and information. It was a great relief to not only having someone doing the driving but also tending to those pesky details like luggage! Thank you Tom! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Ireland with a good mix of guided tours and free time. Sincerely, Gail and Tony Cross, Junction City, Oregon.

October 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My husband and I did the 10 Day Iconic Scenes and 5 Day Northern Ireland tours. We had never done a 'group' tour before and wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately our experience was wonderful. Our driver guide Harry for the 10 day trip was quintessential Irish and really educated us on each and every area. I felt like I really got to know the history of Ireland and the Irish people. The trip to Northern Ireland with Nigel as our guide was equally educational and enjoyable. I LOVED that the guides stuck to our schedule but also listened to the desires of the group for extra time at certain stops and made it all work. Leaving all of the logistics to Harry and Nigel meant we could just enjoy each and every location. LOVED this trip and would go back to Ireland with this company again.

October 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We chose the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Tom Lavin was our driver-guide and was outstanding! He was so knowledgable about the history and current events/life in Ireland. He entertained us with his humor and stories. We saw such a variety of historical sites, breathtaking scenic views and local daily life. We loved the small group and made many new friends. Most meals and all admission costs were included in the tour. Our hotels were in great locations so that we could venture into town when we had free time. We returned home truly relaxed and felt like we had a true vacation. So glad we decided to go with myirelandtours!

I traveled Ireland with tour/bus guide Tom Levin on the 10 day iconic Ireland Tour! It was magical from beginning to end! Tom made sure we were comfortable both on the coach bus as well as in our four-star accommodations! This tour company made traveling so easy! We had no worries but to sit back and relax and see the beautiful country.

July 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

What an amazing experience! We did the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and had a wonderful time. Our driver-guide Tony was superb. He took care of us, told great stories, made us laugh, and provided just an all-around good time. The itinerary was well paced and Tony even provided some bonus stops along the way, especially to help break up some of the longer travel days. This tour was the perfect way to see a lot of the Irish countryside as well as visit the sites in the main cities. We greatly appreciated the smaller bus, which allowed us to get to know everyone who traveled with us. We can't wait to visit the Island again!

June 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I would highly recommend the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Every aspect, from planning, payment & connecting with group went smoothly. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was professional in every way & great company, looking after all our needs & keeping us entertained with his knowledge of his home country & family stories.

June 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We recently took a transatlantic cruise from Miami to Ireland and it worked out perfect that the My Ireland Tour 10 day Iconic Tour started the day we docked in Dublin. MIT agreed to pick us up from the cruise port and at the end of the tour dropped us off at the train station so that we could continue on our journey through Ireland. The hotels and food were great ,love that Irish soda bread and scones). The scenery was spectacular and we enjoyed the company and conversation of those who toured with us.

April 2018  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We can't say enough great things about our Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10 day tour. Our guide/driver, Nigel O'Connor, was just outstanding. We had a great, small group on our March journey, and Nigel was the perfect host. He has a vast knowledge of the history of this beautiful island and was eager to share it with us. We left Ireland knowing so much about these wonderful Irish people and the beautiful place they live. We urge anyone looking for a truly great experience in Ireland to book the journey with My Ireland Tour. You won't be sad!

October 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

I've been back a week from the 10 day Iconic tour... aaannnddddd I want to be back in Ireland. This was my first solo travel adventure as well as my first overseas trip. From the meet and greet on the first night til the very end... I felt very welcome and not at all isolated. It was a great group of people. The Bus was very comfortable with ample space and well equipped with WiFi and the world's best tour guide/chauffeur, George Graham. I wouldn't change a thing about the tour... the hotels were all amazing too!! Slainte.

September 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My daughter age 29 called me one day and said lets do a tour of Ireland. We had never done a bus tour and started researching our options. We came across My Ireland Tours and after much research we decided this tour was the one. Our 10 day trip toured southern Ireland and loved I loved the fact that we had several cities that we spent 2 nights in. Our tour guide Tom Lavin was absolutely the PERFECT tour guide. We could not have asked for anything more! He is kind, compassionate, funny and wanted the 26 passengers on this tour to have an enjoyable experience! And we did!!! We never touched our bags. Everything was done for us. Tom is a true gentleman! Our accommodations were exceptional, the tours were what we expected and the whole experience was better than we anticipated. We met wonderful people from all over the world. My concern was that there would be passengers who were constantly late, but this was not the case. Tom had every minute orchestrated and there was not 1 hitch on our entire trip! If you are planning a trip to Ireland I highly recommend using My Ireland Tours! They are a class act. My daughter and I have memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Tom, Crystal and all those who helped to organize this wonderful trip!

August 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from our 10 day tour of Iconic Ireland and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the time we were picked up at the airport, we did not have to worry about anything but making the most of our time in Ireland and having fun doing it! Tom Lavin was the very best driver/guide that we could have hoped for. He was professional in addition to be incredibly knowledgeable about his beloved Ireland and we totally enjoyed his stories as well as the history he provided, Thank you so much Tom, well done!!! The hotels were beautiful and the food was incredible. I have traveled to the UK with a larger tour company and I will attest that My Ireland Tours was hands down the best tour ever. Again, thank you for great service and a most memorable experience! Julia and John Orshal

August 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This is a review for the Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10-day Tour in May 2017. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a tour or go solo, but as I was traveling alone in a country I wasn't familiar with ,and I wasn't ready to try driving on the other side of the road just yet), I opted for a tour. I am so glad I decided to go with My Ireland Tours. The whole process was smooth as can be. Kristel was great at answering all of my questions ,including what would be best to pack as I was journeying from the Sunshine State!). Our driver, Brian O'Rourke, was amazing. He was friendly and tried to accommodate what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to spend in certain areas. He gave us some backstory on places we passed, and he took us to a few that weren't on the itinerary! I was so pleased to have taken this trip. The people I met were great, the country was gorgeous, the accommodations were wonderful, and the whole experience was one I won't forget anytime soon. In fact, before we left, several of us were already talking about a RETURN trip. I have recommended My Ireland Tours to everyone - friends, colleagues, even the nurse when I went for my physical! Thank you so much to Kristel, Brian, and everyone who was involved in making such an unforgettable trip wonderful.

July 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

Tony and I had the 'best time' on our 10 day, My Ireland tour of the south. We had a comfortable roomy coach with only 22 passengers which was wonderful, always able to have a good space for viewing the beautiful green countryside. On arrival in Dublin we were met at the airport by Tom Levin our driver/guide who was a professional, knowledgeable, very likeable man who went beyond expectations to ensure all his group were well taken care of. He was also an excellent driver and we were in very safe hands. Accommodation and meals were of a high standard and the two night stays were appreciated. We visited many iconic sites and the constant beauty of Ireland was like a story book. The itinerary put together by My Ireland was A1. Thank you to Kristel and all concerned.

July 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My mother and I did the Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10 day tour, starting in Dublin and stopping in Galway, Killarney, Cork and a number of other places. Our driver/guide Brian was fantastic. He was incredibly informative and knowledgeable, and happy to socialise with the tour group at meals. This created a wonderful atmosphere and all 26 in the group got on very well. It was a pleasure to travel with them. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone as a great introduction to Ireland!

July 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We had an amazing tour of Ireland on the 10-Day Iconic Scenes itinerary. Kristel, in the office, was so helpful with questions and guidance. With a smaller bus holding only 40 people and only 26 people on the tour, this allowed the group to spread out get to know each other. From the time he picked us up at the Dublin airport to the time he dropped us off to go home, our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, handled every detail with ease and professionalism.

June 2017  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We had an absolutely fabulous trip on the 10 Day Iconic Tour. We were a little nervous due to an age gap within our group ,us being the youngest at 32 years old!, but that quickly went away once we met everyone. The entire group had such a zest for life and infinite curiosity for the country, and by the end of it we all felt like family. Our driver, Brian, truly made our trip special. He was SO knowledgeable and made all of our trips go by quickly with the amount of information he knew about the country and also his humor and kindness went above and beyond. We were grateful that each hotel stay was 2 days so we didn't feel overwhelmed and everything was completely seamless. It was SO nice to have everything planned except for some free time in the afternoon and our hotels were within walking distance of all the town centers so we felt completely safe enjoying the nights out after dinner. We left feeling like we have seen a lot, but knowing there is so much more to see. We would definitely like to return and when we do, we'll be booking a tour through this company ,and requesting Brian if possible)!!

November 2016  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We just returned from 10 wonderful days in southern Ireland. Our driver Brian was a gem. The planned sites as well as a few unplanned side trips were great. Even the weather cooperated with 10 days of dry warmth. We started in Dublin, went to the far west, south to Killarney, thru Cork and back for a few days in Dublin. Could have had a little more free time to visit some more pubs but overall I think everyone on our small, modern bus ,only 22 people, enjoyed themselves.

2016  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

We were a very diverse group of people who came together for 10 days and had a fabulous time together. I did a lot of research on the net looking for the 'perfect' tour and although there is no such thing-this one was great. The small number of people, the places we saw, the meals and sites that were included in the overall price, our incredibly patient, knowledgeable guide/bus driver-it was all I'd hoped it would be. And Tony, you were the best, JUST SAYING! Thanks for the memories to all of you.

2016  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

This was a dream vacation. It's hard to feel the excitement in a written review, but believe me, this review is written with passion. From the beginning, we felt like we found a good tour company. We didn't know anyone who had used My Ireland Tour but we took a gamble and we are so glad we got what we had hoped for. Kristel and Eric were so kind and reachable which was something we had issues with OTHER tour groups. We especially enjoyed the smaller group/bus and we became 'family' over the 10 days... Our tour guide/bus driver, Brian O'Rouke, brought such life and fun to our trip...

2016  •  10 Day Iconic Scenes

My family of five had a fantastic vacation in Ireland these past 10 days, and we completely hit it off with our driver guide, Pat Breen. The accommodations were top-notch, and the itinerary well-suited to our needs, ,celebrating my parents' 60th Wedding Anniversary). I'd recommend your company to anyone wanting to visit Ireland. Thank you!

Tour Accommodation and Vehicles

Tour Accommodation

On your 10 Day Iconic Scenes Of Ireland Tour you will be staying exclusively in four-star hotels. But not all four-star hotels are the same. We know and trust the accommodation providers we use, and we choose them carefully based not only on their star rating but also on their location, service, value and character. With years of experience in the industry, we have the knowledge, the experience and the local contacts to design the perfect accommodation package for your vacation.

We are very selective in getting just the right accommodation for each specific tour, and we are very proud of the selection of hotels we have put together. Some of these hotels are family-owned, just like ourselves, and we have a long-standing relationship with them all.

About your Tour Bus

On a tour vacation, the journey can be just as important as the destination. That's why our tour buses are all of the highest standards both in terms of luxury and reliability.

We deliberately leave some seats empty. In fact, we use 34-seater coaches, but limit the number of participants to 26. That's because we want all of our guests to be able to spread out, relax and enjoy the journey. This smaller group size is a core principle in our tours.

Please note: the bus shown in the gallery below is one of the 34-seater coaches used on our tours for max. 26 guests. For any reason, should one of these become unavailable for your tour we will endeavour to provide an equally luxurious and comfortable touring bus.
