Top Ireland Bus Tours - page 5

I managed to book this 48hours before the trip. The instructions for meeting were clear once booked and I'd compared it to other available tours that were similar but didn't seem as good value. Travelling solo meant I was trying to pack as much as in as I could, but after a lot of driving myself, I decided to give myself a break... And I'm very glad I did. Glenn was lovely, called me to check I was in route before departure as I'd got stuck in traffic, was polite when I was slightly late. He shared so much information and facts with us in a digest able way, along the routes. The day went very quickly and the stops were balanced out for the journey very well indeed. The coach was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was absolutely splendid. I loved it and it's nice to have a tour guide and driver that was knowledgeable, a safe driver but didn't make you feel overwhelmed either. If you want to learn, pack in some wonderful sights, tourist spots and the opportunity for an amazing place for lunch also (I recommend the seafood chowder), then book yourself on this tour.

Our driver, Declan, was very friendly and energetic in sharing his knowledge of the history of Ireland (plus some fun facts about the city too!). Come prepared with a raincoat, decent shoes for walking, and water! The monastic ruins and trails were beautiful!

Loved getting to see more of the countryside! It was a bit windy up at the Rock of Cashel, but still amazing! We would have liked to stay there a little longer. Our driver was very knowledgeable and did his best to keep everything running on time (though some of our fellow travelers had difficulty with time management). The grounds of Blarney castle were lovely - be prepared for a line getting up to the top of the castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. The wait can be lengthy if there are a lot of tours arriving at the same time.
