Irish Tourism Reviews

Booking with IrishTourism Ltd was a wonderful experience. The staff, and especially Tina, was a pure joy. Their selection of places to stay was superb. Their attention to necessary detail was most appreciated. Quick responses to questions posed. Our driver, Tim, was personable, protective, attentive, humorous and a genuine pleasure. Because of Irish Tourism, we want to return to Ireland to visit again. I heartily recommend them to any visitor.

The trip you put together for us was absolutely amazing! All the traveling and the rental car all went smoothly. We saw so much natural beauty and remarkable historical places. We met the warmest and nicest of people. We ate well and thoroughly enjoyed the B&Bs we stayed in. The hosts were all very kind and attentive. The couple we travelled with have already started talking about planning another trip back to Ireland. Thank you again for all you did for us, we truly appreciate all your efforts.

We had a wonderful time and saw so much in our short 10 days. Tina chose great comfortable hotels that were easy walks from the train station as well as the town centers. Train travel is so relaxing and the ticketing process simple to understand. We had great drivers/guides for our bus tours who had many personal insights about the places we visited. We would not hesitate to book through Irish Tourism again.

We recently took the 8 Night Best of Ireland Rail Tour through Irish Tourism.com, planned by Linda Larkin. I highly recommend Irish Tourism, and Linda, in particular, if you're planning a trip to Ireland. Linda was extremely responsive, both initially when booking the trip and afterwards as we had questions as the trip drew closer. The materials she sent us were very thorough and every step of the way was perfectly planned, with very detailed directions for various steps of the tour. The 8 day rail tour hit all of the highlights we wanted to see and the accomodations Linda arranged were excellent. If you want a great, stress free, tour of Ireland, Linda and Irish Tourism is the way to go!

We have just completed a two week self drive tour of Ireland which we arranged through Linda Larkin of Irish Tourism. We wanted to thank Linda for her efforts in arranging the hotel and car rental bookings details and providing a very detailed touring itinerary from which we were able to choose our daily excursions. We had a most enjoyable time and came home to Toronto, Canada with lots of memories and photos to share with family and friends. The self drive provided an opportunity to see the countryside and coastal views at our leisure, our objective for the tour, as well as see some city night life at the end of days driving activities. We were able to stop and adjust our personal itinerary whenever needed. Driving was certainly an education, with the narrow roads and driving on the other side of the road, but it brought back memories of driving through my home country of New Zealand. With the narrower roads and high speed limits it did provide some excitement at times, particular for my passenger. During the planning phase we appreciated Linda's timely responses to our requests for changes to hotel locations and particularly loved the on trip hotel location change for our last two nights in Dublin. It was right downtown and within walking distance to shopping and entertainment. We do regret not having spent a couple of extra days in Dublin but....... maybe another time. We loved the accommodations, the hotels were of a high standard and we appreciated that very much. We found the hotel staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The full Irish breakfast at each stay was very good and provide a good start to each day. The pick up and drop off of the rental car was effortless and while the car was small we came to realise it was what is needed on these narrow roads. We covered more than 2500 kms without incident. We did find staying the extra day in each location an advantage and it allowed us to take our time and be selective in what we spent our time on. We are both in our late 70's so we don't move so fast anymore. Thank you again Linda and we will definitely recommend Irish Tourism as an option to others who may be contemplating a trip to Ireland.

Our self-drive trip which we booked through irishtourism.com we wanted to add an extra day and there was no problem. The locations of our hotels was very good! The accommodations, as we chose the combination package, had us staying in hotels and a B&B. We were happy with all of the accommodations! Linda, our agent was very helpful and made sure we had all the information we needed. This is the second time we have used irishtourism.com.

Myself, my wife, her sister and husband took a 9 day trip to see southwest Ireland. We planned the trip through Irish Tourism and our contact was Linda Larkin. What a great experience. We used Linda 5 years ago when we visited for the first time and if you rate her on a scale of 1 to10, she is an 11. The trip itself was fantastic, we had great weather, the hotels were beautiful, food was great and you don’t run out of things to do. We are seniors so we decided to get a driver while we were there. It was fantastic. Took away all worries about driving, parking, finding places and eliminating roundabouts. ( I detest them! ). Our driver “ Dermott” was not only a driver, but a guide, a wealth of information, and a lot of fun. We all recommend it highly.

Linda did a fantastic job planning our journey and lining up the greatest places to stay for us. The arrangements were top notch, and all the venues were anticipating our arrival. The suggested sights to see helped much, and the car rental went off without a hitch. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

We decided to use Irish Tourism for our family trip because they have a good reputation and a 24 hour customer service number to call if you have any problems. As it turned out we did have a problem with our rental car. Instead of calling the car company I called Irish Tourism and they had the problem fixed for us quickly. Not only that but they arranged for us to have a private driver for the day that we were without our vehicle. Maria Lieb at Irish Tourism planned our itinerary and booked all of our hotels which were beautiful. We had a wonderful trip and I credit Irish Tourism for going above and beyond to help us when we needed it.

I was traveling with my Aunt on the 10 day Aran knitting tour. The trip just ended yesterday. I wished it went on longer. The people in our group and the interaction between the guide and Driver was exceptional. Ann Marie and David were professional yet friendly and really made the tour. I had no bad experiences whatsoever!! They had never worked together before but you wouldn't have guessed it. David always was there for any need that was to be had. I cannot say enough about Ann Marie. She went above and beyond in every part of the tour from making sure we had hand sanitizer and masks to cold water, and to see if we were comfortable with the temperature on the bus. The stops we had were both new and exciting for a knitter. Educational and fun at the same time. The Alpaca farm and yarn was a highlight of my trip. The many Donegal wool yarns were a wonderful opportunity to stock up and see first hand the new colors of the season.

Gave the company our rough plan for our trip, Stephanie came back to us with a very detailed itinerary that perfectually suited our plan. The hotels were excellent and the information given about things to do and see was superb. We could not fault our holiday it was truly memorable.

Using Irish Tourism opened the door to great hotels and B&B’s and their travel guides gave us the opportunity of maximising the very best of Ireland and Linda Larkin, our point of contact was friendly, well informed and able to help even after our holiday had finished with a minor issue we had with our rental car. Irish Tourism truly takes the hassle away!!!

Well-planned itinerary that gave us an excellent route throughout scenic Ireland south and west of Dublin along with a variety of excellent accommodations and sightseeing recommendations. Staff was easy to work with and timely with answers to questions. Would definitely use this business again.

The perfect Mother/Daughter Trip to Ireland To celebrate my 80th birthday my daughter and I decided to visit Ireland for the first time. We chose Irish Tourism to plan our trip, especially because we liked their rail tour on your own. Stephanie Guina did a superior job booking our hotels, rail and ferry tickets, and arranging for someone to meet us on arrival at Dublin Airport to get us to our first hotel. All the accommodations were very nice and always located within easy walking distance to the train or bus stations we would need. Along with the vouchers were always clear directions on how we were to proceed. We really liked that we could travel just the two of us, not stuck on a bus with 50 other people, and that we could choose where and when we ate lunches and dinners. Those Irish Pubs were lots of fun. The Hop On Hop Off bus in Dublin was the perfect way to see many sights easily, and we really enjoyed the train rides through the countryside. Our favorite place was Killarney with its National Park on the edge of town, complete with Ross Castle and beautiful Muckross House to enjoy. As I have shared our trip with friends, and they say they have always wanted to go to Ireland, I am encouraging them to just go and love it--and use Irishtourism.com to book it. We plan to go back again too.

The directions and points of interest on the way from place to place were great. We had no problem following them and all the places we stayed were beautiful. Mary at Elyod House was so informative and friendly. Linda, our tourism agent was so easy to communicate with and answered all our questions no matter what they were. Would highly recommend using this company.

Our greeter at the airport,John,was great.Gave us a lot of info and was very helpful.hotel in dublin had great location but bed spread was dirty and had to be changed.also room is small and bath tub was strange.had to step up into it and was high off the ground.breakfast was nice to have. Getting all the vouchers and the explanation with them worked out well. Trains were on time and it was good to have reserved seats. Really liked Galway,great hotel and staff was really helpful. Dublin was fun,busy,and we did a lot of walking besides the hop off and on bus Aren island trip was cold and Rainey,but luckily we took a ride with Patrick and his horse .expensive but well worth it. All in all a great trip.thanx Linda for all your hard work

would highly recommend working with Irish Tourism! We worked with a travel agent, Stephanie, to build a unique itinerary that matched our budget, timelines and interests. Everything went off without a hitch and every hotel, means of transportation and tour was excellent. We encourage anyone headed to Ireland to work with them!

We loved it! Everything Linda Larkin did for us was amazing - the rental car, the Bed and Breakfast, the hotels and the recommended itinerary. We only wish we had had more time! Eight nights was not enough to explore everything we wanted to see and to have some needed "downtime".

After 3 years of the pandemic we finally got to take our trip Tina was so helpful gave her our dates and she planned the trip from stays to hotels to trains and bus tours it was a wonderful time plan on going back and we will use Irish Tourism again hope to see you soon

Easy Linda Larkin, she made it for us, from the get-go to our return, every time i ask her for information, she answer with the outmost respect, quick and easy to follow her instructions. She made our trip a memorable one, our stays, B&B, Hotels, etc were to a high standard and well located, car rental was excellent, even if lacking some information but is on the rental company, not Linda, because of her we had an excellent trip. Thank you
