The tour was not what we expected

The tour was not what we expected. We knew that we would be moving around the country, but didnt understand that we would be in a car driving for about 4-5 hours per day. We spent a day or two at the most in one place and spent most of every day in the car. We would drive for 2 hours and then get out and spend less than an hour to experience the place we were going to and then back in the car. There was no time put aside for lunch and so we usually ate at a rest stop on the side of the road. The first Bed and Breakfast in Kinsale was horrible. There was no hot water in the shower and so we were unable to take a shower and their solution was to buy us a drink. They also suggested we ask some others who were traveling with us to use their shower. Not a great solution. By the way when we ordered our free drink, an espresso martini, they told us it was to expensive. All in all, Ireland is beautiful but be prepared to sit in a car and gaze at it, and not experience it.

Great Tour!…

Thank you GoIrish Tours for a very memorable and seamless private tour. We loved it. Any hiccup along the way was quickly and efficiently taken care of. Our driver was fantastic and knowledgeable Our bus was large and comfortable for the ten of us. With the exception of the Galway accommodation we loved our accommodation In Galway we were initially located in a suburban hotel but upon voicing our discontent they arranged got a beautiful and centrally located hotel for the next night. We loved the flexibility of GoIrish and would definitely recommend them again. Thanks for the outstanding memories.

Go Irish Tours planned it all for us

Go Irish Tours helped us plan our two week trip to Ireland. They sorted the rental car for us, booked all the hotels, and gave us some pointers on things to do and enjoy. we loved our visit.

Irish Classic

The Itinerary, accommodation, tour manage, driver and all the other guests were excellent. My wife and I were a little anxious about being on a tour bus with a large group of people that we didn't know but it turned out great. Friendly people across the bus all with the same goal of having a good time and leaving all the politics at home. Trip was well organized and it was a trip of a lifetime.

Great your company!

I would 100% book with go Irish tours again. Our travel agent Dylan Ross was wonderful, responsive and made sure we had the trip we wanted to take. He had at least two personal phone calls with me to ensure we got what we wanted and when we got there it was what we had expected.

Trip of a Lifetime!

My husband and I traveled to Ireland over the St. Patrick’s Holiday for vacation. Sophie, with GoIrish put together a perfect itinerary for our 8 day trip. Everything was booked for us, we had no issues checking, and were treated to top-notch service at every hotel. Zero Problems!! This was our first trip across the pond but was the least stressful vacation we’ve ever had. The Glenlo Abby in Galway was our favorite hotel. We highly recommend booking the falconry experience with Jason. It was the highlight of our trip! Followed closely by the Fiddle and Bow in Doolin with the Cliffs of Moher. Be sure to book your dinner at Russells… you’ll be very glad you did! Thanks to Sophie and GoIrish for the trip of a lifetime!!! We hope to return again soon!

The perfect trip!

I worked with Donna to create the perfect 9 day holiday in Ireland. We had a great time and each location she selected was excellent, as well as the travel schedule. All the logistics worked perfectly with each stop pre-paid including the car which helped to create a stress free trip! I would highly recommend this travel service!

I contacted Ben at Go Irish tours and he was extremely helpful in providing me the Irish tour of my dreams. He quickly responded to my questions via text and email messages. We even had several phone conversations. He was able to book my plane reservations at a discounted rate. I had a fabulous 9 day coach trip with an amazing driver who provided local and Irish history, sang Irish songs, played Irish music, arranged for a horse carriage ride through the national park and arranged for a local pub to open on their day off for dinner and a trio of local musicians to play Irish beat stopping music. We stayed in excellent hotels, ate traditional Irish food, enjoyed full days of site seeing and tours. Most of all enjoyed the company of strangers that became new friends to share memories with. It was a pleasure working with Ben. I would definitely book my next adventure with Go Irish tours and recommend you should too for a trip of a life time you’ll never forget. Nancy from New York

So many red flags

Red flags, do not use this company. We used them to coordinate a trip with my elderly parents in law. The experience was not good, though to their credit they did try to help in the begining. Red flags: 1) Changed invoice amount right before trip, explanation being "first was wrong", after already paying deposit. To their credit they explained it was a staff turnover issue and worked to make it right. 2) Driver was 2.5 hours late day 1. Pushed entire trip off. 3) Car did not have A/C, working windows. We asked for help resolving with a new vehicle, did not ever make a change. We had elderly parents and it was very very uncomfortable. 4) One hotel well below par, very bad experience. We had a nice time at the other two hotels they booked for us, however we had to pay extra after the fact to get in. 5) Once asking for compensation for a poor experience, they completely ghosted us and did not ever attempt to make it right. Summary: Below par organization cutting corners to save costs at customers expense. Highly highly recommend not using.

Goirishtours made our experience the BEST!

Goirishtours was the best way to visit Ireland for us, they really know how to make a tour individual for us and everything was just perfect. Ireland was always a top destination to visit and now that we have done it we cannot wait to go back. The fact that the agents are in Ireland is also great as all we needed to do was call if we need anything. We’ll definitely recommend them to our relatives. Thank you goirishtours.

Perfect Ireland vacation experience using Goirishtours.com

My wife and I booked our Ireland vacation trip through Goirishtours.com and had a great experience! We had multiple hotel stays, spread over an entire week, and we never had any issues with bookings or reservations! The hotels and locations that were chosen by Goirishtours were perfect! It was a very special experience! Would highly recommend Goirishtours.com to anyone looking to book a Ireland vacation!

Great trip !!

Great trip !! Ben really took of all pre-logistics so we could just enjoy our trip without wondering if we booked the right hotel for the events we had planned. It would have really sunk to book a hotel 50 miles from where we wanted to be. Also having Go Irish Tours book some of our events/tours made the trip less stressful. Not having to get up every morning and Google what was around us made for a relaxing morning.What I really liked was that Ben didn’t put us “ in a box”. We like our trips be about 70 % planned with the other 30% left open so we can change our day . Having our tour set-up as a self - tour made that possible. So while we were offered a more traditional tour by Ben at Go Irish Tours we opted for the self -tour without having to put the self-tour together on our own.

This company has had quite a bit of our money for over two years. We booked a tour in 2019. The trip was canceled by them in March of 2020 due to Covid. Had multiple issues getting answers about a refund or replacing with another tour with our original agent Michelle. Was told I would receive a credit. Contacted company and was told Michelle no longer works there. Been dealing with Tinamarie for several months now. We are unable to get any answers and her promises to contact us have failed multiple times. I would not recommend these thieves to anyone.

Although they were responsive and cordial they did not produce a tour. THey cancelled twice over a 2 year period. When an alternative tour came up in the price we had contracted they said no, the monies could not go to another one of their tours, we would have to rebook the original tour at the new increased price. Again they cancelled. Same song, book original tour at new increased price. Of course over a 2 year period, being elderly the health issues have changed. Even with a doctors note they have refused to refund us, blaiming it on CIE. My contract is with them They have kept our money with a promise the money is coming. They are a broker for CIE and they claim CIE is holding back the refund yet my contract i with Go Irish Tours. DON'T GO THERE UNTIL THEY BECOME HONEST!!!

Steer clear of this tour company! They are scammers! As with all the previous reviews we booked our vacation in 2019 and as with all previous reviews we have been extremely unhappy with the lack of communication from Go Irish Tours. We rescheduled our vacation to the end of May 2022. As time has gone on our point of contact has changed and now we get no response at all. We originally gave them a deposit for our tour. We are now 34 days from our scheduled departure and do not have an itinerary. We contacted hotels that we were supposed to be staying in and none of them had a reservation for us or GoIrish. Today, we received an invoice from GoIrish for the remainder of our reservation but still no itinerary. Due to a lack of communication from GoIrish we have booked with a different tour company! GoIrish claims to work alongside the U.S. Embassy but there is no help from the embassy either as they never answer the telephone! Hope you don't have a situation requiring assistance from the U.S. Embassy. We are hoping to recover our deposit through the insurance we took for the trip on the basis of the company being out of business.

Let me say at the outset of this review that when we made the initial trip/planning bookings everything was done adequately. I booked with Go Irish Tours (for self and 2 others) because they were very responsive over email, and always replied within 24 hours, and even made a few international phone calls to speak with me personally. Prices seemed very reasonable and so I booked a 10 day self drive tour. Up until now we had a very good experience with Go Irish Tours and Deborah Feery,their representative, was very helpful and informative. But with that said and now in this period of global travel uncertainty, I believe it is time for Go Irish Tours to rethink their current no refund for deposits policy and realize that this pandemic that we are confronted with is not going away anytime soon with any degree of certainty until many medical issues are developed and validated; this may take up to 18 months. Given that no one can predict international travel, it is naive at best to adhere to their current policy. Additionally, as most hotels and tours are refunding all monies paid, refundable or nonrefundable, because this is unprecedented and it's the right thing to do.

We had a deposit down when Covid hit in 2019. Tinamarie was initially very responsive and even made a phone call to make arrangements. We understood the no refund policy. But when trying to make new travel plans we have been hit repeatedly with "we will respond back within 2 weeks" . I don't want to book with an agent that can't get back to me if needed while in a foreign country. First I book just a car to use up the credit we have with them. Then I'm told, I cannot only book a car. So I book 2 nights stay and the car for a week. Then they tell me I can't book 1 room for 4 people. There is a limit of 3 per room. So immediately the price is jacked up. So I drop one of the nights and they say I still owe $1300 on top of the money we already gave them. When I question this, they say there is a 4% credit card fee. Their numbers NEVER add up. I asked 4% of what number? No direct response. Shysters...steer clear of Go Irish Tours.

Five Star Experience with 8 Day Self-Drive Tour

Myself and my stepdaughter recently did an 8 day self drive itinerary with Go Irish Tours. We worked with Ben and the trip was flawless. Ben was very responsive pre trip and while in country, kept in touch and made sure all was well. We had an excellent time and would recommend Go Irish Tours and Ben Kilmurray to anyone interested in visiting the beautiful Emerald Isle.

Dylan, the BEST travel specialist

Dylan is truly the BEST travel specialist!! He is truly determined to make our trip a "one in a lifetime experience". He is personable, knowledgeable, accessible, and great sense of humor. It took us a few tries to get our custom Ireland/Scotland tour as we wanted it but Dylan was more than happy to make changes, address our questions, and really cares about getting it right for us. Ask for Dylan when planning your Irish tour!

Bucket List Trip

I had the pleasure of fulfilling a life long dream, to visit Ireland, with the expertise of Tinamarie at Go Irish Tours. This was my first time booking/planning an international holiday. I was nervous. It had to be "just right." It was my 50th birthday and the last chapter of my Irish heritage research. I had been waiting for this trip for 25 years! Tinamarie was so patient with me and understood everything this trip was going to mean to me. She promised it would be an amazing trip. She was 100% correct. Every day of my 10 day tour was filled with laughs, memories and awe. Much of that was due to our phenomenal tour guide, Paul. His knowledge and experience gained us access to breathtaking views, holding a baby lamb, and even horseback riding. Paul became part of our group and was the perfect guide for us. A million thank you's to Tinamarie and Paul for this perfect trip. I owe you both a lifetime of gratitude. ~Brenda

BEST COMPANY EVER!

WOW! I have to say if anyone has ANY hesitation about booking with GoIrishTours I have to tell you that they are absolutely FIRST CLASS! Ben went WAY above and beyond to help us plan an absolutely perfect first ever trip to Ireland and Scotland. Not only was Ben patient and supportive in helping us get the perfect trip but we was available the entire time we were on the trip. we had to make a slight adjustment due to travel delays and he was right on it. I would not hesitate to recommend, and I will be using them in the future. Can't wait to go back!

Outstanding first trip

Thanks to Go Irish Tours, we experienced a perfect first vacation in Ireland. Ben Kilmurray looked after every detail for us with exemplary service and was quick to make any requested alterations. All of the accommodation chosen for us was truly outstanding. It seemed far too easy and worry-free for us, but every particular was flawless - a great service for travellers provided by Go Irish Tours. We highly recommend Ben and Go Irish.

Just got back from an incredible adventure…

returned from an incredible adventure with Go Irish Tours! Landed in Dublin and embarked on a whirlwind tour that took us to iconic spots like the Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle. Our accommodations ranged from cozy B&Bs to a fairy tale castle. Seamless planning, and our guide shared captivating Irish stories. Highlights? Sipping pints in Galway and the breathtaking Ring of Kerry. Go Irish Tours, you made our Irish dreams come true! Five stars, hands down.

Exceptional attention to detail!

We are on day 7 of our 10-day Irish adventure and needed to come here to say how impressed we have been with the accommodations Dylan arranged for us. Each hotel has been lovely and perfectly located for all the adventures we've been on, but our very favorite by far is last night's stay at Ballyseede Castle! 🏰 We had a surprise upgrade into the Bridal Suite complete with Prosecco on ice 🍾with white chocolate strawberries 🍓and a personal note from Dylan and Go Irish Tours 💌! Everything was simply perfect! We are now en route to Galway and Dylan is busy working to secure some spa services for us since our Internet efforts haven't panned out. He's been helpful, friendly and professional since the beginning. We highly recommend Go Irish Tours and send a big thank you to Dylan☘️🇮🇪💚

Ireland bus tour a big success because of our bus driver

We loved our Ireland trip! The biggest reason it went so great is because our driver, Ciaran, was so knowledgeable, so accommodating, and so professional. Everyday he met us with a big smile and enthusiasm to show off his land to our group. He gave us tips on what to do and where to go in the evenings. He answered all our never ending questions without being frustrated. We accidentally left a few items on the bus on our last day. Ciaran made sure he met us half way to the airport and gave them to us the following day on his personal time. That was very nice of him. He certainly raised the bar for future bus tours we book next time. Melike

Originally booked a tour in 2020

Originally booked a tour in 2020, Covid hit and we had to delay the trip. 2021, tried to reschedule, but more Covid. When trying to get in touch with GoIrishTours, only could do so by email and could wait up to 6 weeks for a response. Ditto in 2022. Finally made it in 2023 but the communications with GoIrishTours did not improve, had issue in Ireland with reservations, but no way to get this corrected with the tour company. Would NEVER use them again.

Great experience

We worked with Tina Marie at Go Irish tours to develop a completely customized 16 day tour with a private driver. Tina was easy to work with and very responsive to our wishes. She helped us pick hotels and ensured that we had adequate time to sightsee with our driver and on our own in various locations. Our driver Damian was a dream and we were astounded at how knowledgeable he was regarding the history of both Ireland and Scotland. He took us to some off the beaten path locations for some stunning photo opportunities. Tina remained in contact with us throughout the trip to help answer questions and even made some last minute changes for us when we wanted to move on to our next location sooner and do a hotel change at another location. She made it very easy and seamless. All in all a great experience.

GoIrish Tours did an excellent job booking our trip to Ireland. Their local knowledge allowed us to visit towns that otherwise we would have overlooked. We spent time in Kinsale, a city we’d never heard of, and it became one of our favorite experiences. The accommodations were wonderful with one exception. When we contacted Dylan and Tina they found us another hotel and upgraded all our other hotels. We’ve been to Ireland twice, and if we return we will definitely ask GoIrish to book our trips

Ireland is beautiful, very green, and so friendly.

We hada wonderful time in Ireland. Aoife from GoIrish was so patient and helpful. We saw almost everything we wanted to see on our self drive tour. The people are so nice everywhere. If we asked for directions they would sometime walk us there. Our hotels all had a made to order hot breakfast. Three of the hotels were fantastic and the fourth, The Copper Kettle B&B I would definitely not recommend. We had some rain and a lot of wind, but we still had a great time. I would recommend GoIrish tours.

Ben was simply amazing he listened to every piece of detail that we wanted for our trip and he over delivered. We loved every piece of our trip and personally Kinsale was my favorite and we only decided to go here based on a personal recommendation from Ben. We are already working on our 2nd trip to Ireland and we will be sure to book with Ben and Go Irish Again!

Worry free mini road trip from Galway to Dublin

The driver, Hamza, was fantastic! Arrived ahead of time and got in touch with me to ensure we found one another. The trip was from Galway to Dublin, but it flew by quickly and Hamza navigated the tight roads with ease. I had a stop included and that also went super smoothly and I’m very grateful that I was able to get in one last bit of sightseeing. The van was clean and comfortable and the temperature was perfect. The conversation wasn’t forced or felt like too much - it was just right and it was great chat. I’m sure I’ll be returning to Dublin soon and will definitely keep Transfers And Tours Ireland at the top of my list should I need transportation. Thanks again for a smooth trip back to Dublin to cap a wonderful vacation!

My awesome trip in Ireland

I had an amazing stay in Ireland with the help of GO IRISH TOUR. I would recommend them with my family and friends.

Errors and Price Increases. Stay Away.

I started communicating with Go Irish Tours on November 14, 2022 and, after agreeing upon a preliminary self-drive itinerary and price, paid a 20% deposit on December 13, 2022. At that point the itinerary was supposed to be finalized and lodging booked. Instead I was told they could not book the hotel in Dublin at the start of the trip as they had promised due to it being the St. Patrick’s Day weekend (something that happens in Ireland every year but for which they had failed to plan for some reason) and that there would be a price increase. I agreed to visit Dublin at the end of the trip instead and asked for a finalized itinerary and booking confirmation. After much follow-up on my part I received the revised itinerary and booking sheet on January 6, 2023, almost one month later. However, it was erroneous as they had booked the car through our time in Dublin, which I had specifically asked them not to do. There was also another price increase, probably because the car was for the additional two days in Dublin. I asked them to make the change but to please be very careful since there had already been so many errors. After more follow-up on my part, I received the new revised bookings on January 17 and there were more errors. The car drop off, which was supposed to be in Dublin City Center, was still for Dublin airport. There was also a new 4% service charge added on ‘Day 12” although we were booked for a 9 day trip. At this point I lost confidence that they could ever provide an accurate booking. The price had kept escalating with each erroneous communication and I had lost more than a month trying to get the trip booked, delaying my ability to book other arrangements. I asked for a refund and am still waiting for that. Indeed, they have not responded to my request for a refund and never answer the phone. I recommend you work with another company to book your trip. I’ve had a much better experience with Irish Tourism. Responsive, accurate and no escalations in price.

From the moment I landed in Dublin to exploring the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, visiting the historic Blarney Castle, and enjoying the warm hospitality of various hotels and B&Bs, this tour exceeded all expectations.

Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs. We were planning a tour in Ireland as part of the Navy - Notre Dame Game and without a lot of time on my plate to do my own research I went with Go Irish tours. It all started out great, they were responsive and helpful in getting things booked and the itinerary looked good. That was all until we paid, then they stopped talking to us. Our tickets were booked, we had the reservation but when I asked about the driver I got crickets in response. The night before the tour was to begin I had to make multiple calls to get anyone to respond and finally after hours I finally got a name and a time for the next morning. The problem is we booked a tour and a driver was supposed to be a tour guide not just a driver. Their driver had 1 year total experience in Ireland, grew up in India and his family lived in Norway! Not the type of expert to give you a tour. He new how to get places via GPS but needed rest breaks on all the drives. 60% of our time was wasted driving from location to location because the driver needed breaks and the distances between locations were too far. Forget about city tours, there is no such thing with this company. Hotel reservations were all screwed up, we had requested 2 beds per room, and everyone one was single beds. We asked for a castle stay, got a country house, specifically said we wanted a castle tour, got ruins and not even a tour, just a drop off and walk around the area because they didn't arrange for a tour of the keep (It cost by the way 5 euro to add the keep) Times were all off. They scheduled us for a 1 p.m. tour of the Titanic in Belfast which was 7 hours away from our hotel in Galway (meaning we would have had to leave at 4 a.m. to get there in time). Unprofessional when we asked for help and now when we have left the tour will still not address our complaints or our asks for a refund due to costs incurred They give you a price in Euros, then when you are ready to book they convert it to $ and charge you 10% over market rate in conversion costs. I can keep going but avoid them.

Go Irish Tours gave us a trip of a lifetime

We just returned from a 21 day self driving trip around Ireland and Scotland. The entire trip was arranged for us by TinaMarie Bennett of Go Irish Tours. I can't say enough good about Tina and what she did for us. She listened very carefully to what we wanted in a trip, made suggestions (some we didn't follow and now wish we had!!) and designed an incredible lifetime experience. Tina picked all of the hotels for us, including a few Castle Hotels that were just amazing. A few times I went back to her and asked her to upgrade to another hotel with higher ratings. We stayed in 14 different places on our adventure, and I can honestly say that only one of them was questionable. Many deserved 6 stars!!! Tina had numerous conference calls with my wife and I. Both to nail down details and to aleve our anxiety of such a huge trip. When I would contact Tina, if she wasn't available, she was quick to get back to me within 12 hours. The best news is that we did not have one single issue with any of the hotels when checking in. Our reservations were on the books, and the room already paid for. That was one of my biggest worries, that the hotel wouldn't have our reservation, or that it was unpaid. But nope, Tina and her team were right on top of it all. I mentioned that we didn't listen to all of her advice. One was that we might want to alter our trip and stay in more hotels for 2-3 nights. I, on the other hand, wanted to see "everything" and now wish that we had slowed down and stayed at less hotels. We ended up at 14 hotels over a 21 day vacation. Had I listened to Tina, we would have dropped that to about 9-10 hotels over 21 days. The bottom line is that Go Irish Tours is a fantastic tour company, and TinaMarie Bennett is one of the best of the best. My wife and I highly and strongly recommend them. You will not be unhappy.

Donna was Excellent for Ireland tour I started looking for a tour of Ireland…

I started looking for a tour of Ireland . I found Go Irish Tours. They have flexible tours. I got a reply back from Donna at Go Irish Tours. We went over what I wanted to do in Ireland. She was great offering lots of places to go and sights to see. They arranged the 7 hotels and car rental. The hotels we picked we had a list for each town stay. We only altered one after we made our choice. Adjusting was not a problem. We drove to Galway right after we landed. Stopped along the way for a light lunch. Galway was an excellent place. We toured Connemara walked about Shop Street and went to pubs for music 🎵. The best one was Tig Coili they had music 🎵 early and late. It only got better from there. Then onto Westport. Nice area. Another great music 🎵 place was found. Very friendly town. Onto Kerry. The Cliffs of Moher excellent. What a spectacular natural sight. Leave about 2 hours for this . Get there early and bring a snack and water. Be prepared for uphill climbing and downhill walking to see the sights. We also stopped at Corcomroe Abbey. A bit hard to find off the car GPS but it only a mile away from the main road. Dingle peninsula breathtaking views. We stopped at Muckross house., Torc waterfall, Ross Castle. All close to each other. Stayed at the Dingle Benet’s hotel in the middle of the town. I liked this hotel the beast. Old world charm and great front desk service. More music 🎵 right across the street from the hotel. Multiple food options right there also. Onto Cork staying at the Imperial Hotel in town. We toured the English Market and more music 🎵 at night. We also stopped at Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone. Get there early in the morning lines to castle are long. Going back to Dublin we stopped by the Waterford Crystal factory. Saw the Viking experience then drove to Galway. Last hotel was very nice The Ashling. If you have a front room you get city views. We toured the Guinness Storehouse. Great views of the city from the Gravity Bar on top. We went to Trinity College and saw the Book of Kells. Toured the Temple bar area. This is a long street with many Temple bars. Music is everywhere here from 6pm on. One place started at noon. Nice walk and eat area. If you drive make sure to get tank fuel ⛽️ before going into town. There were no gas stations to be found on the way to the airport. Oh well. We had a great time Donna was excellent at smoothing out our few bumps in the road. I highly recommend you use this service. It made our trip memorable. Tom

Skip this company!

Easy to work with while setting up our trip. Final invoice was a disaster, changes with no explanation and amounts due were unclear and differed greatly between all parties going on the trip. We never did received an actual detailed cost invoice. Unrealistic tour routing, and impossible to see and do everything that was on the daily schedule AND route had us going back and forth with hours spent in the van. They can’t route logistically. We told her the things we wanted to do or liked and she suggested some places and must see attractions. Most hotels were not close to town, and not walkable to town. Don’t do it, go elsewhere for your trip to Ireland. We have travelled before with companies such as Avalon, Globus, CIE, Cosmos etc. We hear Love Irish is good to work with and can read a map to properly plan the day’s routes. We ran into a number of Love Irish tour groups, Skip GoIrish, it is lower cost for a reason. Pre tour stay at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin was wonderful, food was great and rooms were great. Day 9/20 of the driving tour (day 2 on our itinerary), our driver informed us the route didn't make sense, the Rock of Cashel would be better on day two so we weren't driving back and forth and spending additional hours in the van, a lot of back and forth driving and not allowing us to visit the planned attractions. Day 3, 9/21 we received a different driver and he did stay with us the rest of the trip, and we did not go to the English Market as it was a just a big open air market and not enough time to see other stops. The Triden Hotel was nice, good food and walking distance to town. Day 4-5 9/22 & 9/23 Hotel Killarney for two nights was a maze to walk through and to get to our rooms. Driver did not offer to carry or wheel our bags to rooms or ask the hotel for a baggage cart. We were traveling with older ladies, hip and back issues so this was difficult to manage. When we checked out, I borrowed the luggage cart and then the driver said he would get our bags off the cart, but apparently forgot because we had to roll them out to the van anyway. Breakfast was fine, but this is a tour motel, many other tour group were there. I planned to do Laundry here as it was mid way in our trip, glad I packed enough clothes to not need to do laundry. I checked before we left and "yes we do offer send out laundry returned the next day"..... well that is only weekdays, not the weekend which they failed to clarify. Day 6 9/24 we were at the Dingle Skellig Hotel, what a great hotel and breakfast was great. Too bad it rained out our day but the hotel made up for it with the quality of the room and food. Day 7 9/25 The Seashore Lodge B&B was terrible the room was just so so, one of our party found dirty clothes in a bag in the room in plain site, and the bathroom contained used or partially full toiletries and NO LIFT. The included breakfast was terrible, we were offered eggs and sausage coffee/tea and it would be ready at 8:30a. It was almost inedible, only one egg, tasted terrible and INSTANT Coffee. We went to another sheep dog demo so didn't see the Caherconnel demo or the Burren. Day 8 9/26 our last day in Ireland we stayed near the airport at the Maldron and it was great, nice rooms and good food, included a courtesy van to get to the airport. First driver made sure we had his phone number to call him if we needed him. The second driver was very hesitant to leave us his number and it wasn't until 9/25 that he gave us his number. One of our party had a personal emergency and we could not reach our driver so the hotel was kind enough to help her arrange transport to the Dublin airport to return to the USA. The tours were mostly self guided when guided tours were offered. The "vouchers" oh my what a waste of paper and trees. The vouchers were just additional duplication of our Itinerary Summary. The only ones needed were those for hotels and paid guided tours. Most were a waste but we were told to make sure we printed and had a copy with us. Overall, disappointing, we had a good time but not because of the planning of the tour and itinerary. Guided tours were missing for the most part as previously mentioned. We talked with people in the hotels during breakfast etc and we struggled to find "good" things to say about our itinerary.
