James is as efficient as he is easy-going. It took him no time to get us set up properly on our bikes and on our way. Like so many of the Irish people we met, he not only knows his history, he knows how to tell a story. We hope someday to sign up for one of his longer adventures.

I have been on several hiking trips with Joyce! She is an amazing tour guide. She definitely looks out for our best interests and makes sure we have the best possible experience. The accommodations are always above average and the food is outstanding. The hiking is always breathtaking. This year we could not go on our scheduled trips, so she graciously rolled our deposit over to next year. I highly recommend Joyce’s Ireland Trips!

Well I am like most of the others in recent reviews as I have not yet gone on my trip. I want to emphasize how marvelous Ciara was when I had to cancel and I have now rebooked the 11 day driftwood tour September 7. Would love to hear from anyone else booking that tour. One of the reasons I rebooked was the low deposit as even though did get my deposit back with no trouble last year I was uncomfortable at my age and who knows what’s gonna happen with Covid putting a large deposit down again. Marvelous communication and service and I’m sure my tour will be marvelous and I can write a great review when I have been

We booked Cliffs of Moher & Burren tour. The cliffs were awesome and our driver John was really great, but the tour was quite badly organised and ended up costing more. Right at the beginning of the journey we were told that due to covid 19 they had cancelled some of the activities that were included in the price: Gleninsheen Wedge Tomb, the 5,800-year-old Poulnabrone Dolmen and Ballyalban Fairy Fort, and also a visit to Kilfenora to see Celtic Crosses was cancelled. We were offered an option to pay 15 euros extra per person to get a one hour boat trip in front of the Cliffs of Moher instead. That was quite unprofessional way from company's side to replace those very interesting attractions that we thought that we could see. We felt a bit scammed as we had to pay more to get a possibility to experience something else. Other option would have been to wait in Doolin until the boat trip was over. The boat trip itself was also very poor from its staff's side. We were given false information regarding how the Cliffs have formed (by atmospheric pressure - that's not correct), about the building date regarding a tower on top of the cliffs etc. It was a bit hilarious and frustrating. The quality of that boat trip didn't convince us but oh well, one more experience :) Other than these couple of odd things the day was really nice and as we live in Ireland we will for sure take another trip to see more of the area. But as we felt that we cannot really trust the tour description and we were not informed in advance about any changes, and there was no word about cancelled activities due to covid 19 on their website when we booked and read about this tour, we will either try another tour company or we will rent a car next time.

I did the cliffs of Moher and Galway day tour with Damien as a bus driver/guide. The whole day was amazing, they really fit a lot into one day with the right amount of time to do all of it. If you’re lucky enough to get Damien as a bus driver you’ll be sure to have an awesome time and learn lots in between his great humour. Definitely recommend this tour for solo travellers, couples and groups!

As a party of four we have just had an amazing 3 night 4 day experience on the Emerald Pullman First Class Train Trip. The journey took in many of Ireland's most scenic & spectacular locations including Waterford Crystal, Killarney, The Ring of Kerry , Cliffs of Moher & Galway Bay to name just a few .. We experienced first class service from the time we left Connolly Station. The whole experience was completely relaxing and hassle free as everything was organised for us every step of the way, from the lovely hotels we stayed in to the wonderful tours of our beautiful country. Would highly recommend Railtours Ireland if planning a staycation and a huge thanks & appreciation to Jim Deegan and his very professional team for a great holiday in Ireland.

I had a reservation on March 16th the day after the city of Dublin shut down and EVERYTHING was closed. We had to leave early because of Covid( the city shut down so nothing to do or eat besides our hotel restaurant). We tried getting in contact with Irish Day Tours to see if our tour was still continuing because we figured maybe we could do that before we slip out of the country but no one was answering calls, emails, Facebook messages and even comments. We tried to cancel but couldn’t because we and our hotel could not reach them. I was emailing the company in the beginning of April when we were back and settled to get this straightened out but they wouldn’t issue a refund because apparently the tour still continued even though the city shut down and there was no notice sent to us that it would continue the next day. We left Ireland that morning and the city of Dublin shut down less than 24 hours from our scheduled tour time so Flaure said no refund would be authorized which is ridiculous given the circumstances of the city and world at that time. It’s very upsetting because I’ve been trying to get in contact with someone from the company named Jonathan who Flaure said would maybe be able to hear us out and help but he has never replied to my email. (6 months later) Highly do not recommend. Terrible customer service and just a money hungry company that at the end of the day apparently only cares about money and not their customers.
9. 8-Day Guided walk of Burren Aran and Connemara
This destinatation combines the lunar-like, limestone landscape at the Burren, the spectacular coast routes in Connemara and the untouched flora & fauna on The Aran Islands. The Burren National Park covers a remarkable 1,500ha of limestone pavement, hazel scrub, woodland, turloughs, springs and cliffs. Originating from the Irish word “Boireann” meaning rocky place you cannot fail to be impressed by this truly mesmeric landscape.The Connemara is home to one of the most spectacular coastal drives in Ireland overlooking the Atlantic at the foot of Errisbeg Mountain, it is no surprise that International artists have drawn their inspiration from this enigmatic location. On Inismore, marvel at Dun Aonghusa prehistoric stone fort clinging to the 90m high cliffs while the Atlantic crashes below.

IWHB was great to work with on my walking tour (Kerry Camino/Dingle Way), from initial information and coordination, to day-to-day check-ins and weather updates. Morris provided a lively and informative intro the day before I set up, ensuring I was set up to enjoy the hiking. They are very well organized, friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. I don't hesitate to recommend using them for one of their tours, I was very happy, surprised really, with how much they had to offer and the way they went about it all.
