Reviews of My Ireland Tour

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This trip was beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and just the right level of friendly. He know when to share his knowledge and when to let us sleep lol. This was a very action packed tour. Wish we would have had a little more time in each place. But it was timed almost perfectly.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The best tour of my life! Harry was such a fantastic tour guide and driver. We did the 10 day iconic tour. My friend and I went as singles and we had fantastic hotel rooms, wonderful food and above all else the tours were amazing. We are going again as soon as possible. We Highly recommend!!!! Don't hesitate to use this fantastic company.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I have travelled to Ireland before, but have always been hesitant of arranged tours, Not anymore !!! Liam was amazing, and so informative. I was sad when the tour was over, every detail from food, lodging and experiences was top notch. Anyone looking to experience Ireland, Scotland and wherever else My Ireland Tour takes you, you won't regret it

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour was absolutely phenomenal. Ireland is gorgeous and the greenest place in the planet. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour. It will be money and time well spent. You will not regret your choice. The sites, the timing, the accommodations, the staff, the drivers, and the people of Ireland are incredibly friendly. This will be a trip you will talk about for years. I'm definitely going back and I am definitely using My Ireland Tour again.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We just returned from a great tour of Scotland. We had used My Ireland Tour a few years ago to tour Ireland, and it was such a terrific tour when 14 of us decided to do a tour of Scotland it was an easy decision to use this company again. Planning was incredibly easy. All the hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and located in the best of places. The sights we saw will never be forgotten. Perhaps the best part of the tour was our guide, George. He was very knowledge and really showed us the best of sights, even making changes when needed based on whether conditions. I would definitely recommend this company for any tour you may be thinking about.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was the vacation of a lifetime. This was our anniversary trip, and it honestly couldn't have been any better. Beautiful scenery, comfortable historic accommodations, amazing sites to visit and great food. We had the absolute best tour guide. Colm provided entertainment and education as he drove us through the Irish Countryside. History lessons, local color, and jokes that had the whole bus rolling with laughter. Highly recommend and would do over in a heartbeat.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Don the tour guide and drive was great. He got us to every place safely and was funny and gave so much info. All included was great that did not have to spend extra money. The breakfast and dinners were large and good choices. We covered the must see spots around the country. Would recommend others to do the 14 day tour. Hotels were also very nice.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour guide John was great! Very knowledgeable and really catered the tour to our groups needs and wants. Would definitely recommend :)

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My husband and I just returned from My Ireland Tour. We were scheduled for a one week tour in Scotland and a one week tour in Ireland. John Dennany was an excellent driver and tour guide. Unfortunately we had to leave the tour early due to an illness. John took us to the emergency room and later came back and brought us our bags. At this point we decided to leave the tour and fly back home. John made sure we had everything we needed before he returned back to the tour. We could not ask for a better tour guide, he was genuinely concerned about our welfare. We wish your company had a hundred more just like John. He was the best!

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had such a lovely time on our tour. The process with My Ireland Tour was easy and straightforward. The route was beautiful and full of so much history. We loved all of the stops along the way. The bus was comfortable and a great way to get all over Ireland without worrying about driving. Our tour guide Tom was so kind and helpful. We truly adored him and said we would go back if we knew he'd be our guide.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Overall we'd. rate our tour 4.7/5 stars. Our tour guides (Pat and David) were absolutely phenomenal. They were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Our accommodations were great, lovely rooms except Clontarf Castle in Dublin the rooms were quite small. Food and service was excellent although the night waitstaff at Ballyseede could have been a bit more cordial. Our top rated hotel would hands down be Ballynahinch (5/5 for everything there). An incredible amount of territory was covered in 8 days I wouldn't change the destinations however at times it felt like we were 'racing' to get to our next destination. On day 7 we had to omit one of our stops it was too far distant in order to arrive at our Dublin hotel in time. In general a wonderful tour and tour company I would highly recommend to anyone particularly if it's your first time to Ireland and also if you desire a private tour. The price was reasonable and competitive.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our driver, John, was absolutely delightful. He was so fun and informative. The hotels we stayed in were so elegant. We had a wonderful tour of the Scottish and Irish countryside. We visited so many castles and learned so much of the history in both countries. I would highly recommend MyIrelandTour to anyone who wants a fabulous tour of Ireland and Scotland.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We chose the 14 day Ireland tour and had a wonderful time! Making the circle around Ireland showed us so much about the history, similarities, and differences of the Irish. Our driver/guide, Ben, added so much to the trip! Hearing everything, including stories, songs (Ben has a lovely voice), jokes, and limericks, from a native Irishman made the experience more complete. I would highly recommend this tour.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The tour was rigorous and exceptional simultaneously. Our tour guide (Mark) was knowledgeable and objective and brought the complicated and harrowing history of Ireland to life. Mark, both drove the bus, shared the history and discussed a myriad of local experiences which added humour to the tour. The tour, from booking to completion was flawless in its organization and efficiency. Accommodation was superlative as was the cuisine. Why I gave a 4 star rating: If you are vegetarian, beware your planned dinners offer no main vegetarian options. All the mains were meat, chicken and fish, that is until we got to The K Club on the last day of the tour. Also, more time to explore on our bus stops would have been ideal but time did not permit. In summary, an informative trip and sample of Ireland's history, beautiful landscapes and people. A return to Ireland in the future? Absolutely!

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A wonderful trip. We really enjoyed our driver / Guide Eamon. An authentic Irishman with all the stories and jokes you could imagine. Yes, I would recommend!

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Just returned from the 10 day Ireland Tour with Tony McGoey who absolutely made this trip!!! Met some great people, saw some amazing places and shared many, many laughs with Tony. An easy paced tour with a great guide. Couldn't be happier!!! Already looking at my calendar for a return trip.

October 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Ireland Tours Our party of eight embarked on a private luxury 16 passenger bus tour of Ireland. This was our first time traveling this way as we usually plan and drive ourselves. Claire worked with us to design our tour and was very patient with our many questions and very flexible and prompt as we tweaked our itinerary even more as our trip drew near. The breathtakingly beautiful country came alive to us as we began in Dublin and traveled counter clockwise around the southern part of Ireland. Pat, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable about Ireland's history, geography, culture, and music. He answered our many questions in his charming Irish brogue, sang lovely Irish songs, and recited a few limericks as we traveled through Limerick. He was timely, kind, informative as to how long between stops, and recommended delicious and fun places to eat in the various towns that we found ourselves in. The hotels were lovely and most times we stayed at least two nights so we didn't feel like we were constantly “resettling” . We had one issue with the air conditioning in our bus but it was switched out quickly for another one. We came to love this vibrant and striking country through Pat and My Ireland Tours and I would highly recommend them!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This 14 day Ireland excursion on September 9, 2023 with 'My Ireland Tour' was exceptional. Our tour guide/driver, Harry Fisher, was the reason that this tour 'floated on air.' He was with us every step of the way, from the fantastic breakfasts to the fabulous dinners at these 5 star hotels. Harry ensured everything ran smoothly, verifying our scheduled tours and stops every step of the way. Visiting Ireland's many Castles, Seaside Cliffs and Cathedrals, Harry went above and beyond, eliciting pertinent information on the the history and the notable people associated with each and every locale punctuated with his humorous stories and sayings. He also played traditional Irish music recordings and other relevant historical recordings on the coach as we traveled. We were spot on-time for every planned excursion which are all included with our fabulous tour. We were extremely lucky to have a fantastic group of fellow travelers and great weather! This was absolutely the best European tour we have been on. We will remember it always. Rick and Janet MacDowell

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The best guided tour ever! Colm, our driver and guide, took us through 10000 years of Irish history while stopping at some of the most famous sites in middle Ireland. The accommodations were terrific, the food was amazing, and the jokes...I don't think I've ever laughed so much on a bus. Colm was an amazing guide, highly recommend. When you book, and you really should, ask for him by name. You will not be disappointed!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

What a fantastic tour we had with My Ireland Tour company! Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland should be on your next to-do travel list with this team. Our small group of 26 was a perfect size; plus travelling in a large coach provided lots of empty seats to choose from. All seven hotels that we stayed in, five were two-nighters, had excellent food and amenities. Weather was warm and sunny for the most part so not all rain like you may have heard. Our awesome driver/guide, Harry Fisher, shared many stories that led us through the island's history, past and present. With his sense of humour, attention to detail, plus a couple of surprises stops that he included during the tour, he made this special trip a very memorable one for my husband and I. Keith in the office was quick answering all our emails and questions and even arranged surprises with the hotels to help us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! All in all, a wonderful team to take with you when you travel! Slainté

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The nine day castle tour of Ireland for four of us was full of history, magnificent places to stay, time for walks in beautiful country, and friendly approachable people. The planning was exact, the communication with Catriona timely and always pleasant. Brian, our guide, was a gem. Two of us came down with covid, but with Brian's guidance, we were able to work around this obstacle. I would recommend 'My Ireland Tour' without hesitation.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Many thanks to Kristel for arranging a wonderful family vacation tour of Ireland for our group. We provided a desired itinerary and Kristel was able to make it work. I think I speak for the group when I say we had a wonderful time! There were 10 of us, and we spent 10 days in Ireland. All the hotels were outstanding, and our driver/guide Lorraine was such a pleasure to work with. She was able to meet our diverse requests with no problems at all, and was always pleasant and accommodating (even in the midst of some pretty hectic traffic!) . Some of our tour are still travelling, but I wanted to send this to you to thank you for enabling us to make lifelong memories.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was the most wonderful tour I have ever been on. Mark was our guide and made sure we didn't miss a thing! The food was great, the adventures were fantastic, and scenery was stunning!.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The 7-day My Ireland Tour left me with very pleasant memories of the people we met, the places we visited, the food we ate and the beauty of Ireland. Our driver/guide, Colm Clarke, did not disappoint for a moment. I recommend My Ireland Tours and will use then again when I return. And I shall return.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We joined with a couple of friends for a 10-day bus tour in Ireland August 20-30, 2023. We were picked up at the airport in Dublin and taken to our first hotel. We had a wonderful trip. Our guide and bus driver was Toney McCoy. He is a terrific guide and very knowledgeable in the Irish history. We learned a lot from him. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he can also tell fun stories and sing. I only wish he could write down some of his stories and fun telling jokes to publish. Our tour went counter clockwise of the southern part of Ireland. We saw Clonmacnoise a fascinating historical site, we stopped by a local chocolate factory at Hazel mountain, and later a local crystal factory, Kylemore Abby in Connemara, and Dunguaire castle in Kinvarra. Our trip continued around the beautiful landscape of the Burren, Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry. We had a stop at the Blind piper pub for a delicious lunch. On our way we also tasted Jameson Whisky and later on Guinness in Dublin. We enjoyed a traditional farm house lunch that was excellent. We had an opportunity to visit Red Fox pub for the best Irish coffee. Our tour also took us to the Blarney Castle and we stopped to shop at the Blarney Wolleen Mills. We had a very short stop in Kinsale of 1 1/2 hour. I would have liked to have at least 3 hours here. It is very small town but a lot to see and do. Before returning to Dublin we visited an Irish National Stud stable, and in Dublin the Irish emigration museum which was excellent. We also made a visit to the Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin which dates back 1000 years. On our last night with the tour we enjoyed and evening at the Merry Ploughboy Pub for entertainment with song and dance and a excellent meal. When our tour ended we had two additional nights before returning home so we could also get to see the Book of Kells and have some more time to enjoy Dublin.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We were a party of 3 for the Iconic Ireland Tour, a senior couple and our teenage grandson to celebrate his school graduation. We unanimously agreed that the trip was a great experience for all of us. We had chosen My Ireland Tour company for this trip because of it being a family-run business out of County Cork, and due to their excellent on-line reviews. This trip did not disappoint and was everything that was advertised. From the Welcome and the timely pick-up at the airport, to the day of drop off for return home, we were impressed. They trully warrant a 5-Star rating. The selection of sites we viewed and/or visited were a good mix of urban and rural spots, with appropriate breaks from riding to walking/sight-seeing. Food options, as part of the tour or on our own, were excellent. The accommodations were consistently comfortable, with well-organized check-in. Room keys for the two rooms that we had booked were already assigned and immediately available upon arrival, making it efficient and easy to settle into our respective rooms. Baggage handling was timely and seamlessly handled by the hotel staff. What makes or breaks any tour, however, is the capacity and professionalism of the tour guide and driver. All 26 of us on the tour appreciated our Tour Guide, Tony McGoey. He was knowledgeable. He was funny. He shared his love of his beautiful country, and its music, with us. Tony was a good host. He was very personable and hospitable, making us feel that we were his guests and his good friends. For us, Tony's extensive knowledge of Irish history was so important to the whole tour. We came away with a much better understanding of Ireland, its people and their history. Not in a lecture, but in insightful learning. Thank you, Tony!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My little experience as a participant in organized tours (since 1964, three hours to reach Athens from TLV by a constellation type airplane) and 24 years of serving as a guide give me a good basis to judge a tour. The too short My Ireland Tour was a complete success.The personal treatment given before it began by Shannon was of excellent augur. My wife, Christine and me experience a marvelous trip guided and driven by the most affectionate and multifaceted Ben Sulivan. The itinerary was perfect,the two days in Dublin revived memories of James Joyce classic read for the first time in Hebrew) the small group was sympathetic ,what else we can wish except less rains ,but this this is the charm of the land of the the clover (botanic Trifollium)........ THODA RABA (in Hebrew lot of thanks). Christine & Eitan,Tel Aviv, Israel who will drink a good whiskey single malt for your sake !

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our experience with My Ireland Tours was phenomenal. Our entire tour was curated to our personal interests and needs, and our driver-guide Patrick was genuine, kind, and knowledgeable. By the time our ten days were up, we felt we were leaving old friends behind. We will definitely be back to visit beautiful Ireland with this company again. A special Thank You to Catriona and Patrick.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We have used My Ireland for two tours now, our most recent one just wrapped up and we could not be happier with the tour. The locations were amazing, and the accommodations were stunning. We don't want to take anything away from our past tour guide Tony (whom we just adore.) Brian was incredible, he manages to balance schedules, individual needs and crack dad jokes for 10 days effortlessly. Thank you so much Brian, you made the trip that much better. If you are considering touring Ireland, you cannot go wrong with My Ireland Tours

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was our second tour with MyIrelandTours and we are so incredibly happy we went. Everything was amazing, our tour guide, Brian, was an absolute gem and made the tour so special for us. We love this country and love learning about its rich history and wonderful people. Can't wait to go back again

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical taking a group tour on a bus. I am beyond impressed with our trip! Our Guide Harry was outstanding! He went above and beyond to make our tour comfortable, fun, informative and personal. Ireland is breathtaking and hands down one of the friendliest countries I've visited. I highly recommended MyIreland tours! We will definitely be back!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

What a wonderful experience we had in Ireland. Ireland was not originally on our 'Must See' list and boy were were WRONG!!! Our tour guide, driver, and all around amazing man, Harry made our tour complete unforgettable. He was funny, informative and very, very knowledgeable about all the various locations. The other thing that made the tour a complete pleasure was the booking and contact with Shauni and the rest of the team prior to our actual tour. They answered questions and made the booking process stress free! We will definitely be looking into other tours with My Ireland Tour!!!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My 14 day My Ireland tour was absolutely the best tour I have been on. It was well planned and well executed by our wonderful driver/guide, Pat. He was so knowledgeable about everything, history, geography, particular sites etc. The sights were perfectly planned and the timing of everything was spot on. There were no long periods on the bus and Pat always let us know how long it would be before a break. I am so impressed with My Ireland Tours. Thank you so much.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was the most memorable trip! I've never had a tour guide bring a City and Country to life like Michael Coleman. Excellent job, Michael! This trip was a celebration of 20 years of marriage, and it just so happened to include my birthday; I couldn't have asked for more. The accommodations and gourmet meals were beyond 5 stars. The tour bus was comfortable, clean, with plenty of leg room. I highly recommend using My Ireland Tours to anyone planning a trip to Ireland.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was a Bucket-list trip for me, and it certainly exceeded my expectations. George, our tour guide was extremely informative, and he provided us with background information about the history of Ireland. We made several unscheduled stops, such as the sheep farm and beautiful areas for pictures. Also, George was attuned to the needs of the group, ensuring that he stopped at locations with facilities, and providing us opportunities for us to stretch our legs after NO LONGER than 2 hours sitting. I would highly recommend this trip. There was a lot of walking and steps, but for those not capable of walking or taking too many steps, there was still plenty of things to do and see!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I can't say enough good things about our tour. Harry (our bus driver/tour guide) was extremely attentive. On the last day we were supposed to see the Blarney Stone in the afternoon but he had done some investigating and found out a cruise ship was also going to be there around the same time. So he suggested we wake up early and go and I couldn't believe how getting up 30 mins earlier made such a difference!! We only waited 20 mins to kiss the stone but when we walked out the line was already passed the one hour mark. Harry was informative and always took the scenic route even when it wasn't convenient. I definitely recommend this company to anyone that wants to see Ireland.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This is was the first organised trip my husband and I have been on. We usually drive ourselves. We had so much fun. Tour was very well organised and Harry our bus driver/ tour guide was terrific. We will definitely look at booking another tour.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Colum was our guide and he has the gift of gab! We learned Irish history, heard hilarious tales and music. The tour is comprehensive while being relaxed. No rush, just fun and education. The accommodations were wonderful, the meals excellent and often enough that a snack was all we needed between. Our group was bonded by rhe end. Colum is a very competent driver and was also calm and respectful of other drivers. I felt safe and cared for at all times. I would go anywhere with My Ireland Tour.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Just returned from our 10-Day My Ireland Tour. It was an adventure we will never forget. The scenery, the camaraderie among our fellow tour members, the food, the venues, and last but not least our awesome drive/guide Austin McCardle, who's passion for and knowledge of Irish history along with his humor enlivened and enlightened everywhere we visited. Thanks so much!

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

On behalf of Mary Beth and Myself, we wanted to share our experience with My Ireland Tours. Full disclosure, this is the second time we have used Eric and My Ireland Tours. Last time was 9 years ago. It was a 5 out of 5 then and it is a 5 out of 5 now. The planning, execution and price point are great. Our driver, Ben Sullivan, was the best. Prompt, courteous and full of knowledge about his home - Ireland. We learned so much. Thank you Ben and Thank you Eric. We will be back.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was a wonderful trip! Austin, our tour guide/bus driver was so knowledgeable about Ireland and told great stories. The scenery was breath taking. We had full days but plenty of time to rest. There were lots of different places to visit.The only 'bad' thing I would say is that the food at the hotels wasn't that great.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My husband, myself and 2 best friends had THE best experience of Ireland in August on our tour, and our wonderful driver and guide Tony played a huge part in our experience. Tony was a wealth of information and we enjoyed every stop along the way. We four Australians highly recommend My Ireland Tours, you will have a fabulous time exploring the beauty of the Emerald Isle.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Great trip. The drivers were knowledgeable and friendly, all the destinations where interesting and the hotels were good to excellent.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Loved our first visit to Ireland, so much so, that we are now thinking of making another trip to Northern Ireland. Our guide, Joe Pigott, treated us like family and we had the most enjoyable 7 days with him. It was too short and we wanted more. It was full of laughter, banter, and fun. He is a skilled driver and best of guides. Ireland has so much to offer.....it is a hidden jewel.

My sister and three other friends enjoyed 10 full days of seeing and learning about Ireland. Harry Fisher was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about Ireland. Had a great sense humor and accomodated us with all our requests. 26 people was a nice number of people on the trip. We made some new friends and enjoyed everyones company at dinner time. All the accomodations were 5 stars (food and castle). Harry we appreciate everything you did for us. I would highly recommend this company.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We just returned home from the My Ireland 10 day epic tour. Epic it was indeed. You could tell that every place we went was carefully selected to give you a full feeling for the country. Our tour guide, Tony was awesome! He not only provided great and detailed information on each place we visited but all points in between. He was very well versed in Irish history and current Irish culture. As we toured the country side between scheduled locations he pointed out other things about the areas we passed through and often stopped for picture opportunities when the in between places were of particular interest, and I must say he was a pretty fair Irish tenor. Of the many wonderful places we saw one that particularly stands out was our lunch at a local farm where we met a wonderful Irish family and ate like locals. As an Irish American only one generation removed from Ireland I can say that all of the stops along the tour gave me a complete feeling about the country of my ancestry. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours if you are considering visiting Ireland.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We spent 2 weeks end of August with guide John McSweeney on a custom tour with just us 6. It was so so nice to be in the small bus, with the flexibility to stop when we needed a break. John knew where everything was along our route (i.e. bathrooms) and also everybody everywhere knew him, so we were greeted royally at every coffee or heritage spot. John's tour dialog was great... We learned so much more than from the guide books, and it was especially nice to be in a bus tall enough to see over the hedgerows and walls. We had driven a car on a previous trip and mostly saw a lot of wall and brush. Pickup and dropoffs were seamless and there was never any stress. I have no idea how John jockeyed that bus through all the traffic and narrow roads without a bump... always finding a parking place too. The restaurant and shopping recommendations were great. Accommodations were first class and very comfortable with good breakfasts. We took a couple of unstructured 'days off', without a tour, and MyIreland was fine with that too... Working with Eric to put all this together was responsive and understanding. Thanks to you all for the great vacation.

September 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our family of 6 (ages 10 to 78) took a tour through My Ireland Tour for 6 days and 5 nights. Keith was very responsive to all of our emails, and was able to arrange a private tour for us which accommodated all our needs and wishes. We were able to visit Galway, Killarney and Cork with some brief stops through smaller towns. Paddy was our driver/guide. He was knowledgeable about Ireland, and couldn't have been nicer. The hotels booked for us through My Ireland Tour were all very beautiful and luxurious. Some of the trip highlights were the Cliffs of Moher, Falconry Kerry, and the Killarney Jaunting Car Ride. We were glad to book with a family owned tour company based in Ireland, and would highly recommend them for a tour on your next trip to Ireland!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I can't say enough about My Ireland tours. We had an amazing trip. Beginning with the booking straight through to the end of our tour everything was flawless. Our tour guide George was great, he really cared about the tour and everyone on it. He went the extra mile to make sure everyone was happy and having a good time. We learned a lot about Irish history and culture. I loved that it was a small group only 21 people. The fact that it was a small group made tour stops less time consuming. The tour bus was large, clean and modern. The itinerary was great, the hotels were modern and clean. I would highly recommend this tour company.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our 13 person group had the most incredible time on our My Ireland Tour. The accommodations, meals, and attractions were all superb and everyone in our group had the absolute best time. Colm, our tour guide, was fantastic and made our trip even more special. He took the time to get to connect with each person in our group and we could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you My Ireland Tour and Colm for making our trip such a memorable experience.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour with My Ireland Tours was fabulous. I learned so much about the history of Ireland that I didn't know. I was in Ireland 25 years ago but only in the south and this encompasses all of Ireland. I was blessed to learn that an ancestor was the mayor of Cork in the 1920's. Michael Colman who was our tour operator was very knowledgeable about the history, had a great sense of humor, and was very patient with all of us. He made sure we were taken care of and I highly recommend him.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

LOVED the tour! Our guide, Austin was amazing! Whether he was maneuvering the coach through hard to navigate streets, twists and turns in the mountains, providing a wealth of knowledge about the town, land or buildings; this was a vacation of a lifetime! Will be booking a tour in the near future!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The tour starts and ends with the bus driver/tour guide. And our guide was fantastic! His love of his country was shown every day. It helps that the countries we visited were so beautiful. The hotels were great. A night in a castle, staff standing at the entrance to greet us. (Unfortunate we only spent one night there.) Lucky to have such a great group on the tour also. Only real complaint would be being offered same basic meal options every night. Irish stew and fish and chips are good but, please, not every night for two weeks.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our My Ireland Tour was amazing. The itinerary is well planned. We were able to see a variety of beautiful sites throughout the tour. The accommodations and food were great. We had the best tour guide, Tony. He was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. We heard a lot about Irelands history between sites. He recommended optional activities in the evenings. He arranged optional activities if anyone on the tour wanted to participate. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. He even sang for us a few times. I would absolutely book another tour through My Ireland and recommend it to others.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I can not recommend this tour company enough. From the first meeting until the last, everything was awesome. Pat was and is the best tour guide in the industry.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This is the first time I have ever traveled with a tour group. What a fantastic experience! Austin was an incredible guide! It was the perfect mix of planned visits and time on our own. We are already planning our next trip with My Ireland Tours!! Thank you for such great memories!!!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY IREALND TOUR 10/10. I was a solo traveler on the group tour and I was welcomed with open arms. Austin was the best driver, tour guide, and comedian. He had me laughing and learning all the way through Ireland. Accommodations exceeded my expectations. Ireland showed off in all her glory with more sunshine than rain- I consider that a huge win!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Irish twin sister, and I did the 14 day Scotland/Ireland tour and had a great time! There was so little stress because everything was taken care of, and our guide Patrick was very informative. We stayed in lovely hotels and saw everything you could imagine! Not much downtime, so be ready to move!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was a great tour with lots to see and experience. Michael was a great driver with a wealth of knowledge and a great way making the history of the area interesting! This tour was a terrific way of getting our feet wet (well the rain helped, haha) of getting around the country and making us feel comfortable in Ireland!!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was our first trip out of the country and I was nervous about it but My Ireland Tour was definitely the way to go. We took the castle tour and got to stay at beautiful places and eat three course meals almost every night. If we had booked the same lodging/activities/meals ourselves, it would easily have cost 5 times what we paid. Our tour guide made the drive between destinations entertaining and there were enough stops that I was never uncomfortable on the bus. I wish I could use My Ireland Tour to tour other countries!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Scotland/Ireland tour was the best! Paddy was very kind and caring. He shared a great deal of history with my group and answered our questions. Very humorous as well which made the trip fun. I would recommend Paddy for future tours. Great experience!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This tour is the best and so caring. I have seen scotland and Ireland perfectly. Ken has been the best guide and he is so funny. He knows so many facts. We are so blessed to have had Ken. He is awesome!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Ireland Tour was so awesome to work with! Kristel was great at helping us plan a tour for our family (11 in all), understood our needs and wants, and answered all of our questions. We had a great 7-day tour, with Ben Sullivan as our driver/guide. Ben was super knowledgeable and was very understanding when we changed plans a bit to allow the children to have some off-bus time. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour if you are planning a trip to Ireland.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Ireland Tour is top notch, with a knowledgeable guide. We toured Ireland and Scotland with them and would highly recommend them

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had a fantastic time, John McSweeney was the absolute best driver/guide we could have hoped for. He went over and above what he needed to do , he wanted to give us all the best trip possible and he accomplished it. Our first trip to Ireland and it will not be our last. We want to continue exploring Europe and My Ireland tour will be our go to company. Thank you John and My Ireland tour for a great time.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our 10 day tour in Ireland was a wonderful experience! My family and I had a great time! Tom was a great tour guide. He shared with us lot's of interesting information about the places we visited and also about Ireland history and current situation. The hotels were all very comfortable. We would only suggest that there should be more options for the dinner menus. Other than that, we highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My wife (Sherry) and I thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day tour of Ireland! Colm Marshall was our guide/driver, and his stories, and depth of knowledge of Irish history was amazing. Our hotels were quite nice and comfy, with amazing service everywhere (breakfast + dinner services, as well as check-in/out). The bus was spacious and comfortable, and the routes that we were on gave us a great view of the sites of small towns, beautiful hills, and the hundreds of castles we drove past. We made some great friends as part of the tour, and have been keeping in touch with a few of them, and have recommended this tour to many of our friends.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Me and my husband travelled Ireland after a long waiting for CoVID 19. After a long research, found this company as I wanted a local company that takes smaller group. I'm used to private trip but I have to say , this tour was amazing and met my expectations. From begging to end everything went perfect. Shannon did booking and correspondence excellent. Now our driver /tour guide , Kathal was superb with providing every details, courteous and humerus and taking care of all of us. I never felt rushed and able to enjoy in a relaxing way.Overall I highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to go to Ireland

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Lovely tour. The accommodations were good and every place was clean and well managed. The tour guide/coach driver was wonderful. Brian was instrumental in connecting all the passengers to Ireland's history, people and places. The tour group was congenial and terrific to share this experience with. I highly recommend the tour company and the driver/ guide Brian Treanor.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Best Tour Ever! Our driver Tony McGooye an absolute professional. Expert at guiding us around Ireland with an informed history of the land and all the sights to see. We loved the historic castles and surrounding towns and villages. So nice to get out of the big cities. The people of Ireland are a delight. This was my second time to visit and I cannot wait to return.

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was our first ever bus tour and it was amazing! Colm was knowledgeable, witty and just all around awesome! My only regret is that we neglected to get a photo with him! We had one rainy wash out day and he even made that day great. Thank you so for so much history, mind boggling beauty and for sharing your wonderful Ireland with us!!

August 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Great tour, great tour guide. Colm was the best! A wonderful, comprehensive tour of Southern Ireland in the 6 days.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Hands Down one of the best Tours I've taken…Sean our driver was soo Knowledgeable, courteous and an absolute hoot!! We had a blast! Sean gave us great recommendations for food places and sites to visit since we stayed a few extra days in Dublin…When we come back to visit and tour we need him as our driver again!!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Mick Keane was our driver and our trip wouldn't have been what it was without his expertise. He is a wonderful driver, storyteller, and his knowledge of Irish history was expansive. He managed to keep us on time for all the sights and tour stops without making us feel rushed. Having a someone behind the wheel allowed us to enjoy all of the beautiful scenery and sights. We had a lot of laughs, learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We whole heartedly recommend!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Wonderful driver and guide, Sean was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and funny. The handful of 'photo stops' throughout the journey, which were not listed on the itinerary, were some of the most scenic views I've been blessed to witness in my lifetime. The accommodations were very high end and all the provided meals , whether a pub or a castles fine dining room were top notch. You truly get a feel for the history and geography of the land plus the coach was so roomy and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are a lover of castles, beautiful scenery, village walks, and great food and drink.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour guide with My Ireland Tours was Sean O'Sullivan. We had the absolute best time! Every scenic stop we made was absolutely breathtaking. Ireland is definitely the most beautiful country I have ever been to. If you're lucky enough to have Sean for a guide, don't be afraid to spill the craic, he's got a great sense of humor!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had a group of 5 people with varying energy/activity levels. The six day tour was perfect for our group! We were able to see a ton without being exhausted (for those with less energy) and without being bored (for those with more energy). Brian was informative and always eager to help or answer questions. We also loved that Brian had a great sense of humor and gave us history and commentary when it was important but did not just randomly talk all day long. We greatly appreciated that the buses are consciously left with open seats to allow space but also to make us feel less crowded at each of the sites. It truly did not feel like we were part of a tour at most sites.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My daughter and I returned home from this tour 11 days ago, and I just can't stop talking about it! Colm Clarke, our driver/guide was excellent! He has a vast knowledge of Irish history, custom and culture, and eagerly shared this with our group. He has a cheerful personality and a quick wit. His driving skills are top notch. I felt safe every moment that we were with him. It was nice to have all of our admission tickets taken care of by someone else. The castles and their stories are fascinating. The rich beauty of the countryside is well worth the ride. Lunch at Greta's farm was delicious. I told her she should write a cookbook. As first time visitors to Ireland, this was the perfect choice for sightseeing.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Mr. Clarke was an exceptional guide with both his commentary and attention to our individual questions needs. the tour revealed parts of Ireland new to me and helped me understand more about the country and culture. Thank you!!!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My experience with the Irish tours could not have been anymore 'cracking'. It has been one of the most memorable out of state experiences that I will remember throughout my life. However, this trip would not have been has half as amazing if it was not for our tour guide, Tom Lavin. Not only is he a phenomenal driver, but his hospitality and his knowledge on various things makes going on tours an overall great experience.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My expectations were very high for this tour based on other reviews and feedback. It lived up to all that those 5 star reviews. Our guide Paddy was engaging, fun and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our group. Already looking forward to coming back to see more and would highly recommend to others. Definitely worth the price!!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Just came back from the Iconic 14 day ireland tour. Everything was great. Small group with large bus was perfect. Plenty of room to move around and take photos. Driver/tour leader Cathal was excellent. Very knowledgable of Irelands history. Hotels were roomy and clean. Itinerary was great. Price was excellent for the package. I would highly recommend it

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I would rate the tour an 8 out of 10 (10 being the highest)...Tom the tour guide was excellent .... very knowlegable and professional... Most of the excursions were good to excellent with the Epic emigaration museum the best ....The Guiness factory was a dissapointment ...a tourist trap...Didnt learn anything about making beer.... Jameson tour was good as well as the Merry Ploughboy Pub dinner and show... I was also disappointed with the Hotels ..at least with our rooms ...stained carpeting, a booth for a shower .....Liked the variety of the towns we visited .....My Ireland Tour Company did and excellent job of putting together the 10 day itinearary

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I must admit, I had high expectations given the rave reviews, but this trip met or exceeded all expectations. The accomadations were superior. The food was excellent. Our guide was fantastic. It was a one of a kind trip our family will remember for a long time!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had the most incredible time! Truly the trip of a lifetime!!! Our guide, Paddy Keenahan, was so kind, engaging, and knowledgeable!! I would, and am, absolutely recommend this trip to anyone!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Had an amazing experience that I'll never forget! Our tour guide Austin was very informative and hilarious. I highly recommend going through this company if you are thinking of visiting Ireland.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

It is indeed rare to find a tour company that so thoroughly delivers on ALL of its promises. Our group of 7 travellers got along famously and was in good hands with driver/guide, David Breen. Dave was an historical treasure trove of information with a wicked sense of humor. Our time was well planned, food delicious, and hotels excellent. Highly recommended.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A wonderful tour. Michael was a fantastic guide and driver. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was great. The food was amazing. We covered so much both in sightseeing and knowledge of Ireland. I would highly recommend this tour.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My husband and I planned for this trip for over a year and truly enjoyed it! Our bus driver/guide Ken set the tone for trip. He was funny and he was extremely knowledgeable about the areas. Having a small group was wonderful and we were fortunate to get to know them all. Two of our highlights were spending the night in a castle and the sheep herding experiences. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Absolutely outstanding, Colm our driver/guide took our trip to the next level. He made the long drives go by quick with his story telling, extensive knowledge of the history of Ireland and his sense of humor. I could not be more pleased with our experience, thank you to everyone at My Ireland Tour, we cannot thank you enough!.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. My Ireland Tours is very efficient and responsive. Everything was well planned and and ran smoothly. Our driver/guide also was terrific. Peter kept us on schedule and told us a great deal about Irish history, the sites we were visiting, the climate, the terrain, the government and many other topics. He worked extremely hard and went out of his way to help people on the tour and to show us things that were not mentioned as part of the tour but that he knew about and wanted to share with us. Our visit to the Cliffs of Moher was uncomfortable, but that certainly wasn't the fault of the tour company. The wind that day was blowing at gale force, approaching hurricane force, which make it hard to keep upright, hold the camera, etc. It also was very crowded with people, which wouldn't have mattered if it was a nice sunny day with a gentle breeze. But given the weather, visitors, including us, snapped a few picture then headed for the shelter of the visitor center/cafeteria, which was so crowded that it was hard to move about, use the bathrooms and get something to eat. The Cliffs are Ireland's number one tourist attraction, so people considering a trip to Ireland need to be aware that a visit to the Cliffs may not turn out to be all that great -- for reasons that are uncontrollable. The other thing I want to point out is that Ireland is bigger than many may realize, so the sites you want to see may involve a lot of driving time. That was the case for our tour. There were two days in particular where we drove for many hours, and while there were stops along the way we still spent an awful lot of time on the road. The solution to that problem is either to focus on just one corner of the country, or book a trip with more days so that there is time to break up the tour into smaller chunks. These are just general observations on my part. My Ireland Tours does a great job of planning and executing trips. It hires very good driver/tour guides, books very nice hotels with great food, and is quick to respond to inquiries and address problems that might crop up. I highly recommend them.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This small group, 8 day castle tour lived up to all my expectations! Our tour guide, David was absolutely wonderful! He gave us so much information on each area we visited and was a careful driver on the narrow country roads. He perfectly timed each visit, so that the next would be seamless. Our accommodations were extraordinary and the number of places we visited was remarkable. I truly cannot imagine exploring Ireland any other way! I would highly recommend this tour and this company and will likely book with them again in the future!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Thank You to My Ireland Tour and our driver/guide, Colm, for a magical Ireland adventure! Our group of 21 from Canada, USA and Australia were wonderful! Colm is an excellent driver and fantastic storyteller! His extensive knowledge of Ireland's past and present is remarkable! He's an amazing, kind man with a lovely sense of humour! Our trip was very well organized! The hotels, food and people were great! The combination of cities, historical sites and countryside was perfect! We fell in love with magnificent Ireland! It was indeed a trip of a lifetime!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Great little tour with a fantastic guide. While the trip was a bit of a whirlwind, it provided the basic overview of some of Irelands must-see sites. Colm, our guide, was very kind, funny, and gave a great narration of Ireland's history, which was fascinating. The hotels were great. Comfortable rooms w/a great breakfast. Overall I'd say a great trip for the price!

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Traveling with Pat was a wonderful experience. He is so knowledgeable and extremely professional. You can see the passion in his eyes and his love for Ireland! You won't be disappointed.

July 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A week wasn't long enough but we will be back! Saw so many amazing sites and our tour guide Peter was the best. He had so much knowledge and history of every place we visited. Enjoyed his stories and his guidance. The bus was comfortable and all the places we stayed, especially Ashford Castle, were top notch. Highly recommend My Ireland tours.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had a 17 person, 10 day tour of Ireland and it couldn't have gone better. Raymond was knowledgeable, safe, and quickly became part of the family. Highly recommend My Ireland Tours and will be using them again in the future.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The 3 of us had a fantastic time. Everything is what we expected and more. We loved Ireland and hope to come back soon. Our driver Amen was wonderful lots of good stories and humor. We had 26 people in our tour group and it was a good time. Memories will last forever.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Tour of Castles in the Republic of Ireland in June 2023 was absolutely wonderful due largely to our driver/guide Colm!! Would and have recommended as probably the BEST way to see Ireland!!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Absolutely the best trip of my entire travels abroad life! I had very high expectations and this tour exceeded them. I credit this half to our absolutely delicious tour guide, Philip, and half to the intrinsic beauty of this country and her blessed inhabitants. Everyone we came across, from those in the tourist trade, to the men and women on the street, treated these wayward Americans with kindness and integrity. The accommodations, repasts, conveyances, and tour sites chosen were perfect. We hope to return. Deep gratitude and respect to you all!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our first time in Ireland and they were great. Everything was as advertised and on schedule. The tour group got along wonderfully and no one held up the group. Hotels and food were good. Our lead driver/guide, John, was great - interesting info, always helpful and accommodating, and didn't talk too much (like some guides). We'd certainly use this company again.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was my first tour and my first trip outside the US. My Ireland Tour did an amazing job of introducing Ireland to our small group. Everything was handled efficiently and seamlessly. Our guide was so informative and we loved his stories. He made us all feel comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend taking a tour with My Ireland Tour.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The tour began with a lot of issues from the airline dealing with the flight / luggage thru no fault of My Ireland Tours. I debated whether or not to continue with plans of tour. It was a mutual decision to continue on with tour. Best decision of my life. The reception upon arrival at hotel was amazing. The group of 26 was like catching up with old friends with updates of their life experiences. The coach driver Harry desires a 10. The items he takes care of behind that scenes with cleaning the coach, stopping the coach for photos of such lovely country, architecture, and historical storytelling. Thank you My Ireland Tours and Harry Fisher. I have memories that will never be forgotten and I hold dear to my heart.!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We have just returned from a great trip to Ireland, which we enjoyed immensely. The countryside, castles, cliffs, castles, etc. were spectacular. Our driver/guide, Sean was great. Very knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humour which makes for a happy trip too. A couple of things we would like to comment on: - a little more time in the towns we stayed overnight would be good. Perhaps leave at 8.30 rather than 9.00. - The Guinness tour was disappointing, as the whole site was far too commercial for our liking. Perhaps a visit to Trinity College would be better. Would we recommend this tour and Company? You bet, highly recommended.

Our trip was exceptional and the places we visited in Ireland were beautiful. Our guide Tony who was also our driver was wonderful and full of informative history of the areas we visited. He made our trip Soo memorable and we'll never forget him! 'My Ireland Tour' company is a great company to book with . Absolutely no issues with this company. Thanks again for making our trip Soo memorable and care free!

Sean and the whole My Ireland Tour adventure was above and beyond what I was expecting. I loved every second of the beautiful country and the people were all so kind and full of life. I will definitely be back and use My Ireland Tour again.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We just returned from the 10 day tour of Ireland. The whole trip exceeded our expectations. The hotels and food were great! Our tour Guide Tony, was so fantastic. He had such a vast amount of knowledge about the beauty of Ireland and the history of places we visited. He did a fantastic job of relaying information to us in a professional yet entertaining way. He even sang us a few Irish songs. He always checked in with everyone at dinner and we were very confident in his abilities. What a truly nice gentleman. I would love to take another tour through this company. Very organized tour and we saw so many amazing things and just had an awesome trip. Don't hesitate in choosing this tour!

If you happen across this review, consider it fate and book My Ireland Tour now! I already did all the research for you. You get more bang for your buck in comparison to other tours. More attractions are included, more meals are included, nicer hotels are included, and more space on the beautiful and clean bus is included. My husband and I went on the Scotland and Ireland tour, and would definitely recommend it. Everyone I have worked with at the company (Shannon and Shauni) was great from start to finish. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, always kept me updated as to what was going on and what next steps to expect, and genuinely were just kind and professional. As for the tour itself, we had Paddy as our driver, and he was amazing! He was funny and engaging, and truly loves his Country and sharing all his knowledge with you. He's passionate and we had a great time with him. His Irish pride is infectious, so much so our whole bus clapped and cheered when he announced that we crossed into the Republic of Ireland. He even arranged a couple 'off intinerary' things that was a pleasent and unexpected surprise. He genuinely wants the best of the best for his group, and achieves it! Speaking of the group, we got really lucky to have a bunch of great people! Everyone was super nice and friendly the whole time, and best of all everyone was extremely punctual. We left on time (or early) every single time. Not one lollygagger in the group. We had a great time with everyone and even exchanged numbers with a few to keep in touch, and started a shared photo album so we could all share pics! Very sweet added touch - my husband and I were honeymooning and My Ireland Tour went above and beyond to work with the hotels to have little extras in each of our rooms, which was amazingly kind and sweet. It was like having 8 honeymoons rolled into one epic fortnight. Thank you, My Ireland Tour!!

This was my first guided tour as I prefer to travel solo. I decided to take this tour as I just wanted to relax and not have to take on driving on the opposite side of the road. I'm glad I did because I was able to experience much more in 10 days than I would have on my own. Carthal was the guide. He is kind and his educational degree in Irish history made this trip so much more than I had hoped for. His patience for people was outstanding. Even when at times his patience was tested when a select few would not make it back to the bus at the times clearly stated numerous times. Following the ending of the tour I traveled to Malahide where I spent a few nights and had a ticket to a concert at Malahide Castle.

My Ireland Tours was the perfect way to help my mom accomplish one of her life dreams of visiting Ireland. Our group size was just right with 26 total people. The coach had 50 seats so we were able to sit comfortably. We saw other companies with people wearing numbers and packed on coaches. Our 5 day tour covered just the right amount of traditional cities and sights for the first time visitor to Ireland. Dublin, Guinness, EPIC museum, Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, Limerick, the Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Castle Blarney, and Jameson Distillery to name a few. Ireland is very tourism friendly. Our tour guide and coach driver, Garey, made the tour extra special. His love for Ireland was evident: he was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, helpful, organized, patient, and always had a funny story. Plus - wow can he drive a large coach on tiny roads! Helpful tips - 1. If you're jumping ahead a few time zones I highly recommend arriving a day early. Not falling asleep on the first day of the official tour is worth the extra money. 2. Plan ahead for your free time in Dublin, there's so much to do and see. Rent bikes, tour Trinity College, go on a nighttime ghost tour etc. It's fairly easy to get around in the city. 3.There are at least six separate Clayton Hotels with slightly different accommodations so check ahead. Example: Burlington Road had a small fridge in the rooms and Limerick had a pool. The Clayton Hotel Burlington Road was very helpful. We arrived a day early, on our own, and they made sure we could stay in the same rooms for the tour dates. Staff was extremely professional; I left my expensive headphones behind and they not only contacted me to let me know, they offered to have them shipped back to my home address. My mom is truly happy she was able to visit and enjoy Ireland without any travel stress. We highly recommend using My Ireland Tours.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Very pleased with the tour. Our driver was excellent. only disappointment was the tour guide for Belfast. Otherwise excellent trip.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This is an excellent Tour, from the booking staff to the Driver/Guide, the organisation was impeccable. Harry, the Driver/Guide was so patient with us, ensured we were at the right place at the right time and if things didn't go according to plan, he was calm, adapted and on we went. The Hotels were good. some were absolutely fantastic for a small group bus tour. Harry kept us amused with anecdotes and informed with a never ending range of facts and histories. We met a group of lovely people and made wonderful friends. Can not recommend the Tour more highly.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our guide and driver Tom was great. He was extremely courteous, patient knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour 100%. There were so many great places. If you get a chance don't pass it up. My Ireland Tours nailed it.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Booked with My Ireland Tour, and from the start communication was great. We did the Castle tour, and it was FABULOUS. We were able to see so many sights and places, while still having some free time to explore. Our tour guide, Brian, absolutely made the trip. He was fantastic, and gave us amazing history (and jokes) throughout the whole journey. We cannot say enough good things about this tour, and cannot wait to go back!! Thanks Tony!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My daughters booked this tour as a birthday gift to me as Ireland has always been my dream trip. Our driver and guide Liam Finnegan was fantastic, his knowledge of Ireland's history, culture, etc along with a few humorous stories was wonderful. We were also honored with a couple of Irish ballads by Liam after a day of touring. He went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and plenty of breaks along the way as well as plenty of photo opportunities my favorite part was the ring of Kerry and the beautiful scenery. I would recommend this tour 100percent. Thank you Liam and my Ireland tours for fulfilling my dream trip, it was magical.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Took the iconic scenes of Ireland tour in May 2023. It was amazing. Coach was comfortable with plenty of extra space to spread out. Every day was filled with beautiful scenery and interesting things to see and do. Our driver/guide, Colm Clarke, was fantastic - funny, knowledgeable, helpful, kind - could not ask for better. Just before setting out on our tour, we had a last minute request for walk in showers, and Shannon in the office fixed us up at every stop. Shannon was very helpful with every contact we had with her as we planned our trip. Highly recommend My Ireland Tours!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our experience with My Ireland Tour was fantastic. From the when I booked the tour to the week before it started Shannon was a great communicator on what to expect and our transfer information. On the tour itself Liam went above and beyond and provided us all with the rich history of Ireland, entertaining stories and local traditions information. We had perfect weather which was a definite plus! Our family came back to the US with loads of happy memories and some fabulous photos. We absolutely feel in love with Ireland. Thank you to Liam and Shannon for all that you did to make sure our tour was grand!!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

It was so simple to book with My Ireland Tour. The communication was first class and the organisation, hotels and itinerary exceptional. Our driver/guide Don was patient, extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. How he navigated the big bus down the narrow lanes was first class. He kept us safe and could not do enough for us. I have no hesitation in recommending My Ireland Tour.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had such a wonderful experience with our recent castle tour. The communication with the office was great and our driver/tour guide Brian couldn't have been better! I would highly recommend this company!!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Driver/guide was both an excellent driver and guide. He had very good knowledge and interesting as well as being a considerate leader to the group. Hotels across the tour were a very good standard.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I had the pleasure of enjoying (with a family group of 26) your 10 day coach tour of Ireland with Sean O'Sullivan as our driver. This tour surpassed my expectations tenfold! We stayed in luxurious hotels, had excellent full breakfasts included as well as other delicious meals. We saw both Northern and Southern parts of Ireland which included all the Irish highlights and monuments, places and much history. Thanks to the exceptional knowledge of our tour driver Sean and his enthusiasm for his work and his country I left with a much better understanding of Irish culture, and its history and people. This was my first coach tour and I must say it blew me away. I felt that I saw the best of Ireland with little effort on my part as everything was taken care of by the company, and would definitely consider another tour with this company. If you're thinking about booking a tour , Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed !!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour of Castles was perfect...brilliant! Our driver Brian made it extra special with his extraordinary knowledge of Irish history and lore along with his wonderful humor. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This was an awesome tour. The driver/guide, Don, was wonderful and each place we were taken to was great. All of the accommodations were superb and I would recommend this tour company to everyone.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Amazing and very well organized 10 day tour of Ireland and it was the best way to see Ireland. Our driver, Don O'Donoghue, was great! He was very informative, funny, and always made sure everyone was okay and having a good time. He kept us on track without making us feel rushed. Having dinner included everynight is good for some, but it was basically the same meals over and over. We actually ate out on our own more often than not as we wanted to explore the food/culture of each of the cities. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I just got home yesterday from the My Ireland - Historic Irish Castle Tour. It was definitely worth it. I had never been on a guided tour before so I was hesitant to book it, but I am glad I did. Overall it was worth doing and exactly as described. Good food, free continental or cooked breakfasts every morning and full 3 course meals for dinner every night with a mixed authentic farm house lunch included one of the days on our trip. The castle hotels we stayed at were a good experience, just don't expect 5 star hotel accommodations, after all they are older converted castles. Think more large scale bed and breakfast. The RIU Greshum hotel we stayed at on our tour the first and last night was nice and centrally located in the heart of Dublin which was nice to experience a little of Dublin and local shops and bars. You are riding a tour bus accross Ireland so there is a lot of time on the bus, but Brian, who was our driver stopped plenty of times for breaks and they did space out tour well enough so that you were not on the bus for too long at a time. Some of the stops may have needed a little more time, but I am sure others felt they were too long so I can't be picky about such things. That was just my personal taste. There were also some things I would have changed, but the tour was exactly as described and they can't custom cater to 26 people's needs. Overall I think everyone on our tour bus seemed to enjoy the experience. Brian (the driver) was knowledgeable of Irish history and kept us entertained with stories and jokes during the drives. He also was able to answer any questions we had. I traveled with my 19 year old son and we both enjoyed ourselves. He thanked me for taking him once we got home.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our recent tour of Ireland via My Ireland Tour was an extremely gratifying experience with an itinerary that reflected the gist of life in Ireland & its history. Our driver/guide, Sean O'Sullivan, is very professional, compassionate, efficient, passionate of his homeland & well versed in the past & present history of Ireland. Accommodation & dining (where included) was excellent & well organized. These types of tours are designed to give one a grasp of what the country is all about with a good foundation for future travel. My Ireland Tour & Sean O'Sullivan delivered in spades. We look forward to a return to Ireland thanks to them.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our 10 day bus tour of Ireland more than met any expectations that I had. Our guide/driver Sean O Sullivan was professional, knowledgeable and made an effort so that each once of us got something unique from the experience. Not only did he know our names, he made sure he understood the connections between our group of 26! Seans knowledge of history and culture - both past and present was astonishing. I felt safe and well cared for and can't thank him and My Ireland tours enough for that lovely introduction to beautiful Ireland. I highly recommend 'My Ireland tours'

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

An amazing trip. Sean O'Sullivan was our driver/tour guide and would highly recommend him. He brought us to areas not on our itinerary for the true feel of the soil. His knowledge of the history of the Island was very impressive. He has a wit, charm and personality that can only make one feel at home, which we (26 of us) did. He kept an extremely clean coach and did a great job on herding the cats to stay on schedule to see what was on the itinerary and then some! Thank you Sean for an awesome family 2023 vacation.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I recently completed a tour of Ireland with a group of 26 people with My Ireland Tours. Our driver/guide, Sean O'Sullivan, was the best! His cheery personality, wit and knowledge of all things Irish made our 10 day tour superb! He was extremely organized and efficient yet relaxed and flexible which helped in trying to organize 26 people on a daily basis with all our luggage and paraphernalia. Sean is an excellent driver and guide. His love of Ireland, the country, the culture, legends and folklore were part of his daily driving/guiding routine. I developed a better sense and appreciation for Ireland myself through Sean' Irish spirit. If you are lucky enough to have Sean O'ullivan as your driver/guide then you'e found the Pot O'Gold!

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A trip of a lifetime. Our driver Sean had us all in stitches multiple times. The bus was clean and comfortable and the windows were spotless. His knowledge of Irish history and of the monuments and areas we visited was downright impressive and enriched the experience greatly. We were even treated to some mythological Irish audio stories and Irish music on the bus. Spots that we didn't visit were pointed out as we were driving so I have a list of sites to see for my next trip. If you have the chance to take a tour you won't regret a minute of it! 10/10 would do it again.

June 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

If you are wanting to go to Ireland and have the best time of your life, please use My Ireland Tour. Our tour guide, Noel, was outstanding. He pretty much became a part of our family by the end of the trip. Thanks to Catriona for making our trip easy to just sit back and enjoy.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Tony was a terrific tour guide, as well as a person who could introduce Irish history and culture in an interesting way. The hotels were very good. Everything was well organized. Checking into the hotels was seamless. The food was generally good. The people in our group were interesting.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

What an amazing trip. Everything was well planned and we got to enjoy so much of Ireland in a short amount of time. Our Driver/Guide David not only had a great sense of humor but also was extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I would recommend My Ireland Tour for your next trip to Ireland. George, our driver/tour guide was wonderful and gave us the Ireland history while we travelled from Dublin to Kilkenny and Galway. We stayed in beautiful castles and the food was very good! I traveled solo and not once did I feel alone. Everyone was lovely. I would definitely go on another tour with them in a heartbeat!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our 6-day tour was a wonderful gift from our children. They did the research and picked My Ireland Tour and they chose well!! Our bus driver/guide, Ben Sullivan, was friendly, talented, negotiated the roads extremely well, and made us feel very welcome guests. Shauna was also helpful in answering my questions before the trip. Thank you so much for the great memories!!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

From the start of planning with Catriona to the end with our tour with our driver Mick, I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Ireland was everything we dreamed it would be. Mick was so knowledgeable and happy to answer all our crazy questions. I highly recommend this company if you are planning a trip to Ireland.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Ireland Tour was prompt at responding to our requests when we were booking this trip. Davey was our driver and we felt so safe. He took us to some special sights that we wouldn't have found on our own.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Six friends went on the small group tour with My Ireland Tour. We couldn't have been happier. Everything about it was absolutely perfect; from the correspondence with Shauni at My Ireland Tour, to the itinerary she planned for us, to the tour guide that we had. Bryan, our driver and guide was funny, smart and knowledgeable. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Just returned from the 17 day Iconic Scotland/Ireland tour with My Ireland Tours. Wonderful, fantastic, superb and absolutely fun are just some of the adjectives I could use to describe this tour. First and foremost, our driver/guide Pat Prendergast was A+++ Couldn't have asked for a better guide! He was friendly, caring, helpful, knowledgeable, and amusing. And boy could he handle that bus-his driving skills are magnificent! This trip had a lot of senior citizens (including me) and a few people who had health or mobility issues. Pat was always accommodating and watched out for us always. The hotels were lovely; the meals were delicious. The company was very easy to deal with and very responsive to any queries. The group was small (24) but the bus was full size so many of us could have seats to ourselves if we do desired. 17 days in a bus with mostly strangers can be a bit unpredictable but I can honestly say I loved every minute of it and enjoyed meeting folks from many areas of the US. I would highly recommend this tour company!!

What a delight to spend 10 days touring Ireland with Eammon, the ultimate guide! Never at a loss whether explaining history, pointing out every excellent pub option along the route, flawlessly squeezing our bus into unimaginably impossible spots and making us laugh the whole way. We joined the tour with a group of friends and made new ones along the way. Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. While driving us back to the airport, Eammon shared one of his witty quips to send us on our travels home. 'As the Bishop said to the Nun, let's get the flock out of here.' Can't wait to return.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

My Ireland tour company was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The staff was informative and knowledgeable every step of the way. Our host and driver, Michael Coleman was so friendly and helpful to every person in the group. We could not have asked for a better experience in making our dreams of Ireland come true! Highly recommend!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

On behalf of us all, a major BRAVO! for all the elements of our tour. We enjoyed it immensely! Our only thoughts were that we wished we had more nights to stay at many of the beautiful and luxurious hotels to just sleep in and be lazy.. perhaps next time. And many thanks to our wonderful driver Patrick! He took excellent care of us. He was knowledgeable without being overwhelming, and accommodating on every level. He made the experience all the more memorable. The one day around the Ring of Kerry with John was also very enjoyable and informative. Overall, we had a splendid time and are very grateful for your assistance in making this all happen. We would certainly recommend 'My Ireland Tour' to others and perhaps take advantage again ourselves.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A great company, the tour was well executed, superbly guided by Tom Lavin & gave us everything as advertised.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

One of the best tours I have taken and I'll include cruises in that assessment also. Very well organized, four star hotels, breakfast fabulous, dinner very good. Excellent idea to have two nights in each hotel and not depart until 9AM. Visited some great sites with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Eamon finally admitted he doesn't lie but he may exaggerate sometimes. He is also a very good singer.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

Our tour of the Ring of Kerry was a phenomenal trip. The accommodations (my goodness the accommodations!), the sights, the meals and free time included were above and beyond any expectations. Dave, our driver and guide was lovely. He was informative, friendly fun and incredibly helpful. The 8 passenger bus was comfortable with large windows to see out of, seats to recline and nap in if you wanted. Dave would also pull over whenever we asked in order to take pictures. This vacation was the most stress free and beautiful time I have ever had, and I have traveled alot. For the money, this tour and the MyIrelandTours company cannot be beat. It is worth every penny and a steal for what you get to do. My only complaint is that this company and it's tours aren't available in any other countries outside Ireland, because I would love to use them any place I went in Europe.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

A nice flavor of the country and a smaller group. I feel too much time was spent at Jameson and Guinness and not any time actually seeing the cities we were in. Very little of the history of areas was given. Many times we were just dropped off at sites by our driver/guide to see things on our own. The hotels were nice and food good but not up to tours I have done in the past.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

This tour was a 12! The food was exceptional. The accommodations were all five star excellent! The service at each historical sight was exquisite. The scenery and the people of Ireland were extraordinary! Exceptional. Excellent. Exquisite. Extraordinary. I think these four words just about sums up our whole experience on this tour. Oh, but I can't forget to mention our delightful, knowledgable, and talented tour guide and driver, Tony. He regaled our little group with the history of Ireland's people along with captivating myths and stories. But I would certainly be remiss if I didn't mention Tony's lovely renditions of our favorite Irish songs. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

What a marvelous tour. Frankly, I am feeling so much more attached to my Irish roots than ever before! I am the end of our line, so feeling the sense of rootedness is an important outcome for me. As one who used to teach leisure theory and tourism, Tom, you were impressive! On reflection, I do not know how you did it all. When No. Ireland is scheduled, I will book and hope to bring friends. By the way, the group coalesced well; with you we built trust and had genuine fun. Thank you.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

What a wonderful 6 day tour. Our tour guide and driver Michael Coleman was excellent. Very good and handling the bus while being the tour guide too. Very knowledgeable about all the places we were going to and passing along the way. Answered everyone's questions and looked up any information you needed. I highly recommend My Ireland tour plus requesting Michael as our tour guide too!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

We had a fabulous experience with My Ireland Tour. They were extremely helpful and accommodating in arranging the tour that we wanted, with our individual preferences taken into account. When we got to Ireland, everything couldn't have been better. Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! He was friendly, helpful, great to be around, and generally a joy to have driving us so we didn't have to do that ourselves. He always made excellent suggestions along the way for places we should stop that would add to what we were doing, and they were great. He also knows people at every sight and can get his van in closer if you need that (my husband has come mobility issues and this was a plus)!. Sadly, we got covid partway through our trip and My Ireland Tours was incredibly helpful in working out how to manage this problem and get us to our flight home as needed. I highly recommend them.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

my Ireland tours was fabulous! they took care of every little detail. Our tour guide Keith Boyd was absolutely full of Irish charm and so efficient and helpful. If your going to take a trip to the Emeral Isle you couldn't do any better than to leave the trip planning to My Ireland Tours and let Keith be your guide!

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

I would just like to say the my sister and I had such a wonderful time. I have never been with a tour group before and it was much better than expected. My met lovely people and I was able to relax without the hassle of driving and figuring out where to go. The accommodation were outstanding go the morning breakfast was more than we imagined. I also cannot say enough about our driver Tom. He was extremely friendly and personable. He left no stone unturned concerning history of Ireland.

May 2023  •  My Ireland Tour Package

The castle tour was great. George, our driver and guide, is very knowledgeable and informative. The smaller group was quite pleasant as we got to know our fellow travelers. The stops were well planned, with enough time at them. George really cared about all of us.
