Irish Tourism Reviews

I worked with Stephanie and she was extremely helpful and understood everything I was asking for. I told her what we were wanting to do and where we wanted to stop and she planned out the perfect route and took care of the reservations for me. We landed in Dublin and everything worked out perfectly! I had no stress planning our 2 weeks in Ireland. Our trip was amazing!

Linda was a wonderful guide, so helpful and quick to respond. She and put together a brilliant itinerary for my husband and myself. It was my first time to Ireland and so having the guide for which locations to go to was so helpful. She chose great places for us to stay too, centrally located. Having the car rental organised for us was great too. Loved our personalised itinerary and the guidebook with suggestions about which day trips to go on. Highlights were the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Connemara and Dublin. My only cautionary tale would be to not book the B+Bs if you have any accessibility needs, this was not on Linda, just something that I didn’t think of when requesting the mix of hotels and B+Bs. And because my husband ideally requires accessible rooms esp bathrooms, the hotel package would’ve worked better for us. Having said that, the B+B hosts were lovely and cooked great breakfasts. I’d have no hesitation recommending Linda and this company to people especially those visiting Ireland for the first time and not knowing where to start. These people know their country and will support you to have a lovely trip. Thank you Linda, thank you Irish Tourism, Slainte.

I am speechless of the beauty of Ireland!! All I can say is “why didn’t we go sooner!!” All the arrangements through Irish Tourism were flawless, met or exceeded our expectations!! Thank you for all your help!!!

Maria made us a fantastic itinerary for the short time we had (8 nights). We were able to visit South Ireland from East to West. Everything went well, the hotels were amazing and we enjoyed everything we visited. I highly recommend Irish Tourism for your next trip to Ireland.

The accommodations were all excellent. Close to what we wanted to see. Tina was always there to answer any questions I had. We are already planning out next trip and plan to use Irish Tourism again

Linda Larkin was great to work with! She pointed out pros and cons of our ideas, and was very accommodating in making them work. When Linda was available, someone else at Irish Tourism filled in seamlessly. Great team! Traveling by train is a great way to see beautiful Ireland!

Our recent experience with Irish Tourism and in particular with Stephanie Guina was exceptional. She was instrumental in assisting us with the planning of our 23 day self drive tour of Ireland. Firstly, she ensured that we had an automatic car which was imperative. Then, she arranged all our accommodations. Everyone of our hotels and B&B's were beyond our expectations. Each one was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and the breakfast meals were nutritious and delicious. Most of our accommodations were centrally located so that we could walk to popular tourist sites, restaurants, and shopping areas. As part of our tour package we were provided with descriptions of each region that we were touring so we were well aware in advance of the history of the region and the numerous points of interest that we might consider viewing. These descriptions also contained detailed directions as to how to reach our destinations. Stephanie was always just an email or phone call away so that we were confident that if we might need any assistance she would be available. We have been on numerous tours and this by far was the most stressLESS and enjoyable experience we have ever had. We are two very pleased Canadian travellers and would recommend Stephanie and Irish Tourism to family and friends without hesitation.

Stephanie and Irish Tourism did a great job in tailoring out trip to meet our interests and filled our 10 days with many wonderful choices of sites to see and experience. She was quick to respond to questions I had via email. We choose to do the self guided tour around Ireland with a rental car. At the last minute we decided we wanted automatic car and she adjusted quickly for us. All the lodging arranged was wonderful with king beds and full breakfasts. We simply showed up with our printed vouchers and checked in with ease. We could not see everything recommended to see but sure did cover a lot and friends back home who have been to Ireland wondered how we did so well with places they wished they had seen!

I wasn't real excited about our trip to Ireland until we got there. Tina O'connor's effort to craft a full itinerary was exemplary and 6 days in a Mercedes with driver Kierin O'connor from Kinsale motors was priceless. His skill, knowledge, and winning personality made this the best vacation I have been on.

Irish Tourism is a good company to work with. It was easy to work with them via the Internet. The tour went well with no difficulties. It met or exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful time.

Irish Tourism was a DREAM come true for our honeymoon! Tina, our travel agent, was friendly, quick to respond, and provided great options for us. We chose the self-driven 8 night honeymoon tour. She really listened when we told her our preferences, and gave us suggestions that would help make our trip more enjoyable and smoother. From booking our stay at each hotel/castle, picking up our rental car, to getting directions to each destination, it was a wonder to have those details taken care of for us. With this tour, breakfast was included at each place we stayed in. It was delightful to wake up and start your day with breakfast that was already planned for you. The printable guide that was given to us the weeks leading up to our trip was easy to read and gave lots of pointers on the cities we’d be driving through so we could make scenic stops along the way. In each place we stayed, we were welcomed with beautiful, cozy atmospheres. Our honeymoon was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to Irish Tourism! We can’t wait for the next time!

Irish Tourism was fantastic in communicating all details related to our trip. The tour that we selected was carefully and thoroughly designed to provide us with great accommodations and get us to the sites and attractions that we wanted to see. I would recommend to anyone that wants to visit Ireland and is looking to venture out to various spots around the country. When we go back, and we will be going back again, we will utilize Irish Tourism, and Stephanie in particular, for arranging our tour. Very happy with our entire experience.

Tina who was my contact was so easy to work with and very promptly always answered my questions and addressed my concerns. Just as important, the self driving tour that they put together for me was terrific. They took care of rental car set up, and booked us at some very nice hotels, breakfast included, which we never would have found on our own over this 9 day stay. Also included in our plan were directions and things to do along the way. It was a wonderful way to experience the country and see things and while we didn't need it Tina left us her number just in case there was an issue. I would highly recommend dealing with company.

My husband and I were thrilled with our trip to Ireland. The accommodations were exceptional and Stephanie was extremely helpful in answer our questions and providing information to help plan our itinerary.

From start to finish Irish Tourism was a wonderful company to work with. The Ireland by Rail option was perfect for us because we wanted to see Ireland without the stress of driving. I was easily able to adjust the pre-set 7 night option to meet our preferences of more time in 2 of the set locations. Linda Larkin'ssuggestion of adding a private transfer in lieu of train between Killarney and Galway afforded us the opportunity to visit additional towns and avoid multiple train changes. It was a lovely and leisurely day. We were very pleased with all 3 hotels chosen for us. They were perfectly located within walking distance of the train stations, in safe neighborhoods with great restaurants and pubs nearby. The vouchers were electronically sent and had all the information we needed. I highly recommend Irish Tourism!

My wife and I took a wonderful self driving tour. We had a great experience from start to finish. Linda gave us a very extensive itinerary. We did go to many of the places she had planned but also did some things on our own. I did know about the tyre insurance from hertz but I foolishly declined. While going through the beauty that is the Gap of Dunlop I did catch a small rock that was on the road and it did pop my tyre. Luckily a very nice man came and swapped the tyre for us because there was no spare in the car. The only thing that would have been better is if I had planned for a longer trip. Slàinte Mhath

Irish Tourism is awesome. We worked with Linda Larkin and she was amazing. We told Linda what we were looking to do and she nailed it. She got us into a castle near my hometown and all the places she booked were outstanding. From the 1st email until the last she was very quick to respond. We will Def use Linda and Irish Tourism again for all our trips to Ireland.

Accommodation was of a high quality, both in the city and in the smaller towns. Directions were very clear. Our favourite destination was Oughterard in County Galway.

Maria did an excellent job of coordinating our travel schedules, hotels, and tours. The proximity of these made it easy to travel around Ireland. The vouchers and instructions were very clear and easy to understand. We found ourselves many times during our trip praising Maria’s thoughtfulness to detail. Our car driver Dennis was great going from Killarney to Galway by Knock. He was very attentive to us. The hotels Maria chose were great as well. When we return to Ireland the first thing we will do is contact Maria

Great attention to detail, timely response to questions, terrific accommodations! Many thanks Maria, for taking good care of my family on our recent trip to Ireland.
