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 took a day tour with Darby O'Gill some time ago and today i found the card in my bag. Despite the delay I thought is still worth it to write a review. It was one of the best bus day tours i have ever had. We started in Dublin and drove in the countryside. The nature was beautiful and totally worth seeing. The bus amenities were great. We had enough stops and still enough time to enjoy everything. Our driver, Eary (I hope this is right) was incredible. He entertained us during the entire day in a unique way. We both laughed a lot and learned things about our trip and Ireland in general. I really hope he still does the tours so that one day i can return and enjoy the trip once again. Prices were also good comparing with Dublin prices!

Our guide was Karina and we couldn't have asked for a better one! She was brilliant and went way over the alloted 90 minutes. Very knowledgeable and a good laugh too, which we were in need of, it made for a very entertaining morning for myself and my son. Loved the little anecdotes from Bruce Springsteen to The beatles, as well as all the history, both modern and old. The recommendation of a good Whiskey shop was spot on and I'll look out for her in The Commitments film next time I watch it!

We booked and paid for The Giants Causeway tour for a day trip excursion from our booked cruise. We booked in September 2020 and paid in full. We are no longer cruising so had to cancel. I now HIGHLY recommend Odyssey Coach, not only for the amazing reviews which caused up to book in the first place, but for their honesty and integrity. All money has already been returned to us. How nice to be dealing with a company that offered us a refundable cost and stood behind that offer. There are so many of us that are fighting with companies to get refunds from Covid related cancellations. Odyssey is a bright star.
