10-Day Ultimate Small-Group Tour of Ireland from Dublin

Fantastic trip to beautiful Ireland

I just finished a 10 day tour of Ireland which was fabulous. The small group tour is the best way to travel. We had a great group on our bus. Our driver/tour guide, Bree, was very good. She had great stories to tell us while she was driving. The scenery is amazing in Ireland, the activities were well rounded. The lodging was good with breakfast provided each morning. I learned a lot of irish history. It was a great trip!

Great experiences with Breda!

Breda was the absolute best! With wit and insight, she imparted an incredible amount of insight into the history, geography, culture, even politics, economics, religion, and sports of Ireland. She can tell a story that will capture your imagination all the while navigating crazy back roads...and getting you to the best viewpoints! Our Ultimate 10 day tour was packed with sights and experiences, and she handled every bit with aplomb! We had excellent lodgings (though to be honest, not much time in them due to the packed schedule) with delicious and varied breakfasts. The sites visited were well chosen and timed well. There is alot of time spent on the road, but if you want to try to see all the highpoints of the island, that's understood. Some optional "down time" gave a rest to those who needed it. Pick up and drop off at the Ashling hotel was simple! The atmosphere of the trip was laid-back and everyone was interesting to hang-out with and explore this amazing country!

Ireland you have my heart

Breda was our guide and she’s a 10/10. Her knowledge and passion for sharing Irish history was second to none. Not only did we get to see everything on our schedule, she squeezed in some out of the ordinary places that the locals go- it was a breath of fresh air getting out of the tourist trap every now and then. This trip exceeded my expectations on so many levels

Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Ireland again in the future, or a new tour in Portugal! Warmly, Tucker and the Overland team

Perfect Introduction to Ireland

After recently completing the Overland Ireland 10 Day Ultimate Tour I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great overview of Ireland. The itinerary Overland put together was excellent. We saw and did so much much but never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The accommodations were comfortable and so well located that it was easy to spend free time enjoying the town centres. Our stay at Lough Eske Castle was also a special treat. A guide can make or break a tour and our guide, James certainly made ours! He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, a great driver and fun! He also took the time to get to know each one of us in this varied group. When weather forced the scheduled tour for the day to be abandoned James came up with lovely alternatives and Overland Ireland graciously covered the additional costs that arose from the changes. All in all we had a wonderful time with Overland in Ireland and great "craic" was had by everyone! Sin e'

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the itinerary and accommodations, especially Lough Eske Castle. It is fantastic to know that James went above and beyond to provide lovely alternatives when the weather required it. We will be sure to pass along your praise to him. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Ireland or perhaps to join us for a new adventure in Portugal soon! Warmest regards, Marta & all at Overland Tours

Family Trip - Lifelong Memories

7 members of my family recently enjoyed the Overland Ireland 10-day Ultimate tour. This included my two boys 12 and 15 who had an absolute amazing time. Seeing and staying in so many amazing places was a bucket list trip of a lifetime. Where to start for all that we did? From kissing the Blarney Stone, Cashel, Kinsale, Ross Castle, ice cream in Dingle, Dunmore Head (Star Wars filming site with a memorable parking lot our tour guide James managed like a pro), scones and history at the cookery school, birds of prey show, Galway, Westport where we celebrated Mayo finally breaking the 75 year curse, wonderful sheepdog demonstration, Lough Eske Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Whisky tasting, Derry, Giant’s Causeway, braving the rope bridge, the history of Belfast and the amazing Titanic Museum. Castles, portal rocks, fairies and pubs, so many cool pubs. Accommodations at each location were fantastic each with a full breakfast the whole family filled up on for the big days we had ahead. We were fortunate to have mostly great weather but when it would have been a soggy day on the Aran Isle our tour guide James and Overland Ireland pivoted us to the Birds of Prey show and Cave experience which became big highlights, especially for our kids. I cannot say enough good things about our guide James. Personable, professional and knowledgeable. The trip would not have been the same without him. From enthusiastically chatting hockey with my sons, teaching us about Gaelic Football, helping us recover our luggage from the airline and sharing his exceptional knowledge of Ireland, he brought the Craic. If you need a recommendation for anything, anywhere you’re staying along the way, as my son would say “Cool James” was the man to ask. The bus was always clean and our fellow tourists from Malta and Australia were a joy to experience this trip with. I would highly recommend Overland Ireland to any family hoping to make the absolute most of their trip to Ireland. Thanks Overland and especially guide James for a great adventure.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We are thrilled that your family’ tour was a bucket-list experience for everyone including your boys. It is heartening to hear how James went above and beyond during bad weather to provide new highlights and to help recover your luggage and bring the "Craic" to your journey. We are so glad "Cool James" made such a lasting impression on your sons with his knowledge and professional care. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and would love to welcome you and your family back for another adventure in Ireland or to join us for a new experience in Portugal! Warmest regards, Ilaria & all at Overland Tours
