Ireland travel review Introduction to Ireland , NC, United States, Oct 2026
We had a great time. Helen our tour guide was super knowledgeable and helpful for places to stop for lunch and around town. It was wonderful to have the main attractions planned out for us. We got extremely lucky with the weather for October and had beautiful views. I would recommend to anyone looking for a worry free trip.
Irish tour Irish Discovery , VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
Overall the trip was great. The tour guide was excellent and also the driver. We did have a couple of hiccups along the way, which have already been pointed out previously. The number of people on the bus tour were too many though.
Charming Villages, Traditional Tales & Hiking the Dingle Peninsula Ireland: Charming Villages, Traditional Tales & Hiking the Dingle Peninsula , ON, Canada, Sep 2026
We would go with G Adventures again and refer others to them. Small group tour with an exceptional CEO. All 16 of us knew each other well and everyone helped everyone else. Great fun. Ethan and Global Journeys did a great job too. I wish I had booked at a location suggested by Ethan for our last overnight and not booked online with Clayton Airport Hotel read more outside of Dublin which was a horror show getting to it since there are two Clayton Hotels. Now that is confusing!!
History and Culture in Ireland and Scotland Highlights of Ireland and Scotland , NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Firstly, my travel advisor, Hannah Perry. With more than 3 decades of frequent international travel, I rarely needed a consultant to help me organise my trips. On the occasions I used one, Hannah has stood out to be the most professional, responsive, helpful, supportive and friendly I had the pleasure of dealing with. She's a great asset to Global Journeys.

The read more trip with Trafalgar. It's generally good for anyone who hasn't done an organised tour before. For us, we were expecting a bit more, especially in locations which we considered significant. This is typical of most tours in this category where sometimes too much time is spent around some attractions and not enough on others. Having said that, to have everything planned out by someone with little effort on our part is great. Combine that with a good tour director, driver and fellow travellers, that is still a good vacation. Whichever way you travel, Ireland and Scotland are definitely worth visiting.

Overall sights of tour were great as was our tour guide Aileen, who was also very good. Only issue we had some accommodation which was older and pretty tired - needs to be looked at. Thanks.
