August 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

My wife and I loved our My Ireland Tour. We did the 18-day England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland Tour. The tour was laid out very well. We saw so much and visited so many places! There was a good mix of riding in a bus, guided tours, and time on your own. Our tour guide, Rosemary, provided so much great historical information each day on each location—she really knows her stuff. Our driver, Brian, also did a great job. We also appreciated that My Ireland Tour still did the tour with only 10 people on the tour, as many tour companies would have canceled with that low a number. Thank you so much. We have recommended My Ireland Tour to many of our friends and look to tour with them again.

July 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

Our experience with the England/Scotland/Ireland tour was excellent. Our tour guide Colm was entertaining and professional and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. After noticing many of the tour companies with packed buses, we really appreciated My Ireland's policy of limiting the number of passengers to no more than 26 which made for a comfortable trip. It was a busy itinerary but there was enough time between stops to be rested and ready for the next site. We were very happy with my Ireland Tour and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great coach trip.

June 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

My Ireland Tour was absolutely amazing! 18 days of seeing the beautiful countryside & cities of the UK. Our tour guide, Colm Marshall, gave us so much information about all the places we visited. He was a wealth of knowledge as we drove from place to place. He was also very kind & helpful. Joe, the driver was great as well. Accommodations & food was great. Highly recommend My Ireland Tours. They took care of everything!

June 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We did the 18 day Discover Britain and Ireland tour and it was absolutely amazing. We toured some of the most iconic sites in 4 different countries and each one was incredible. Our tour guide Colm Marshall was very knowledgeable and gave a good overview and history of the areas and things that we saw. I also have to mention our driver Joe. This man was a very skilled driver and was able to maneuver a large coach on narrow roads and passages where you wouldn't think a large coach could go. I liked the fact that our coach only had 22 people aboard and we were very comfortable during our trip. I saw other coaches where the people were packed in and I was happy that I was on this tour.

June 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We have recently completed the 18 day My Ireland Tour trip to the UK and Ireland- it was beyond amazing!! We were fortunate to have the lovely and knowledgeable Rosemary as our guide and the very capable Dennis as our driver! Both warm, humorous and personable as well as so great at their jobs! We met some new friends and had plenty of room in the coach as we saw all the attractions as listed in the itinerary plus MORE! Our accommodation was outstanding and two meals provided most days. We could not have been happier with this tour- I have already recommended it to all I know! You receive a lot for your money, more value and consistent quality than I could have coordinated and booked if we had tried to do this trip ourselves! We wish this company every success as obviously every detail has been considered to make the customer's trip one that is both memorable and stress- free. 😃 Hope you read this Rosemary and Dennis- you are both the very best and we miss you!! 💕

June 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We took the 18 day England, Scotland, Ireland tour. It exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Rosemary, went above and beyond to assure everyone had a great time. She and driver, Dennis, were a great team. We visited more sites than I could have imagined. Liverpool would be a great addition for future tours. This was a first class tour. We had a great group of people and had a wonderful time!

May 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We have never been on a tour before and this one has set the bar extremely high. We selected the Discover Britain & Ireland trip for 18 days. The tour guide, Rosemary, was informative, humorous, and knowledgeable. Our driver, Denis, made sure we were safe and on time for all our daily activities. Definitely would recommend My Ireland Tour company.

May 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We just finished the United Kingdom and Ireland tour - England, Scotland, Ireland - and it was incredible. It was a lot to pack in in just 17 days but we had a GREAT tour guide who was so much fun and a great driver. I was amazed at how much we were able to experience for such a great price and would recommend the trip.

May 2025  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

My husband I returned last week fro the 18 day UK-Scotland-Northern Ireland - Ireland Tour and it was absolutely fantastic! We were so lucky to have a small tour group with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We saw so many sites, we cannot pick a favorite. My Ireland Tour is a first rate company and we will recommend them to our friends and family.

October 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

My Ireland Tour far exceeded our expectations. We had not gone on a bus tour before so were not sure what to expect. Our guide Rosemary was exceptional, she made us feel so taken care of each step of the way. We saw so much and can't believe all the places and beautiful countryside we experienced. The hotels were more than comfortable and in the city centers for walkable excursions on our own after dinner. Our bus driver Tommy was also exceptional and gave us peace of mind to sit back and relax and enjoy all the sites. We were on the 18 day Icon tour of England, Scotland and Ireland and I can't even begin to list all the places and things we got to see. Even the small stops were interesting. I can't recommend this tour enough!

September 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

Fiona is an outstanding guide--efficient, informed, and caring. The coach driver was courteous and helpful. Hotel breakfasts were outstanding, dinners less so because of so much fried, unhealthy food. I heartily recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone who wants to learn more about England, Scotland, and Ireland. My trip was a dream come true.

September 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

This tour was thoughtfully created and extremely well organized. Our tour director, Fiona, was top notch; she is very knowledgeable about the history and significance of all the places the tour goes through and did a fantastic job of coordinating with the hotels we stayed at to ensure our stays went as smoothly as possible. Also, our driver, Brent, is engaging and upbeat and is an outstanding driver who never ceased to amaze as he navigated tight spaces daily.

June 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

My family just finished the 18 iconic Britain & Ireland tour in May. Our tour guide, Rosemary and driver, Brent were fabulous. They genuinely cared that the group really enjoyed themselves and received the most out of the tour. There were a few items on tour that could be changed (less time at Jedburgh and skipping Drumcliff). Really enjoyed our tour guide, Jerry in Derry/Londonderry. Made some great memories and met the nicest people on the tour. Would highly recommend My Ireland Tour to those interested in seeing many sites and having the best experience.

May 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We had a marvelous time on our tour. Excellent food and lodging. Well planned and adequate time at all locations. Our tour guide, Karl, was friendly, organized and well versed in the history and guiding us to the sites. The group we shared the trip with were fantastic! I would suggest name tags for a group that size (26)

May 2024  •  Discover Britain and Ireland Tour

We took the 18 day Iconic Britain,Scotland and Ireland tour. Our guide Fiona and driver Neil were top notch. Accommodations were very nice. Most of the food great, but found all dinners at the hotel limiting. The one night hotel stays kept us moving, but enjoyed the longer stays more. Covered alot of ground and saw alot of amazing sights.

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 choose our tour vehicles carefully. All our tour buses offer plenty of space to spread out, tinted windows, air conditioning and on-board fridges. It's what you should expect.

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 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.
