Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions About Our Tours, Answered.

What’s included in the tour price?

Our tours are fully inclusive, designed to ensure you can relax and focus on enjoying the experience. Included in the price are accommodation at handpicked hotels and guesthouses, daily breakfast, transportation in a luxury Mercedes mini-coach, and entry fees to the key historical and cultural sites listed in the itinerary. You’ll also have a fully qualified Irish guide throughout the tour to provide insights, stories, and local knowledge.

What’s not included in the tour price?

While we aim to include as much as possible, certain expenses are not covered in the tour price. These include your flights to and from Ireland, lunch and dinner during the tour, travel insurance, airport shuttles, and gratuities for your guide. Any personal expenses or optional extras not outlined in the itinerary, such as souvenirs or additional activities, will also need to be covered by the traveller.

What group size can I expect?

We limit our tours to a maximum of 15 people, ensuring an intimate and personal experience for everyone. This small group size allows for a relaxed and comfortable journey, where you’ll get to know your fellow travellers and enjoy more time at each destination. You’ll never feel rushed, and the smaller group size makes it easier to explore Ireland’s hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations.

Are the tours wheelchair friendly?

While we strive to make our tours as accessible as possible, certain aspects may require a reasonable level of fitness. Foldable wheelchairs can be accommodated on the mini-coach, but participants must be able to board and disembark unassisted. Additionally, some historical sites and older accommodations may not have lifts or may require navigating uneven terrain. Please reach out to us before booking to discuss your specific needs, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Where do we stay?

You’ll stay in a mix of charming guesthouses and high-quality hotels, carefully selected for their comfort, character, and excellent locations. We aim to provide a balance between relaxation and immersion in Ireland’s unique atmosphere, often choosing accommodations close to local attractions or in the heart of vibrant towns. Each place is thoughtfully chosen to enhance your experience while ensuring you feel at home throughout your journey.

What will we be eating?

Breakfast is included daily and typically features a variety of options, including traditional Irish favourites like soda bread and hearty porridge. While lunch and dinner are not included, your guide will provide recommendations for local restaurants and pubs where you can savour authentic Irish cuisine, from fresh seafood to traditional stews. These meals offer an excellent opportunity to explore Ireland’s regional flavours and support local businesses.

What about the Weather?

Yes, our tours run regardless of the weather, as Ireland’s beauty shines in every season. We recommend packing for varying conditions, including a lightweight waterproof jacket and sturdy footwear. Rain or shine, your guide will ensure you have an incredible experience, adapting the itinerary where necessary to make the most of your journey.
