Irish Tourism Reviews

What a hotel .mind blowing .very good management and staff behaviour.well equipped Furniture.my family love it .will visit again and again 😎

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The staff was welcoming and attentive, the room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. I can't wait to come back!

Great tour company. Tina was my contact and she was very helpful, friendly and accommodating through the whole booking process. Initially cancelled due to Covid restrictions, we finally made it to Ireland in June 2023 with our deposit voucher in place. Tina was quick to get all accommodation booked and hire car in place. You are emailed a comprehensive booklet detailing good places to see on your route which was very helpful. Though do book early for the places you want to go. It’s busy all year round not just school holidays. My rating of 4/5 is based on a couple of our hotels. Although all were very friendly and clean, we were a bit disappointed with a couple of them. One hotel needed some major modernisation and one hotel was lovely but the area it was in wasn’t the best. Fortunately only one night in each of those and we were moving on the next morning after another hearty Irish breakfast. I’d definitely recommend Irish Tourism as a company to arrange your holiday with.

Even after last minute request to add another person, Tina O’Connor had everything set up at all of our hotels and even found a van that was comfortable for all 7 of us! The trip went without a hitch!!

Tina was so helpful in helping us experience a wonderful vacation. We spent two weeks driving through Ireland to beautiful places to explore. She made it easy for us by making all of our reservations for accommodations and giving us guidance for sites we would enjoy. We were able to see Ireland at our own pace. Some of our favorite things were exploring Powerscourt Gardens, touring the castle in Kilkenny, riding in a jaunting cart through the Gap of Dunlop, and taking the ferry to the Aran Islands for a day on Inishmore. We also spent a night of luxury at Dromoland Castle. We had originally planned this trip for 2020, but had to postpone it because of COVID-19. Once we were ready to rebook, Tina went right to work to plan the trip we had originally scheduled.

Irish Tourism exceeded our expectations. Planning and communication delivered an exciting itinerary. The accommodation selected were superior and mostly walking distance to towns, pubs and restaurants or had their own facilities. Rental car company Hertz was helpful too. Tina gave us good advice re driving, must see sites and length of time to stay in locations.

I was very disappointed with Irish Tourism and would never recommend them. I worked with Tina, set an itinerary 10 months in advance for a tour for 19 of us. I was told our driver would be a guide & driver. He would be an expert that would tell us about the areas we were visiting and history. Our driver said nothing the first day, no welcome, no nothing. We had to set up the itinerary items on the fly, nothing but our Bunratty Castle dinner had been set up in advance. On top of that our luxury coach had no working air conditioning, and it was hot! We were told the first day when we complained that it would be fixed, the 2nd day it was not fixed, again we were told it would be fixed , it never was. Our driver refused to walk to the back of the bus & see what we were dealing with. It was sweltering. Our driver had no advanced planning. He was to drop us off at a hotel in Dublin, instead of figuring out how to get there ahead of time, he called 2 minutes out, could not understand what they were saying and hung up. He dropped us off on a busy street 2 blocks from our hotel. The hotels & the Irish scenery saved the tour. Not Irish Tourism. Very disappointed.

In May 2023 my husband, my sister, and I (all early 60s) thoroughly enjoyed a 14 day rail excursion throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland, organized and booked through Irish Tourism Ltd. This was an independent tour; we traveled on our own, not as part of a group. All bookings and reservations were made in advance by our very competent, friendly, and helpful agent, Stephanie, with input and a bit of tweaking from us. Irish Tourism offers a 14 day package (among many others) that included almost everything we wanted to see, and Stephanie was more than happy to customize it to meet our needs. We received vouchers ahead of time for rail tickets, hotels, and a few excursions. This was our first trip to Ireland and we were happy to have someone “in the know” set up the rail schedule, book the hotels, and suggest appropriate excursions. We were thrilled to see everything we wanted to see, and not have to worry about all the details. Stephanie was a joy to work with. We had several telephone conversations with her ahead of time (from Western Canada), and she was always warm and welcoming and answered our many questions cheerfully. It was also comforting to know we had a local contact if we needed any assistance during our time there. In fact, during the trip, we were not happy with a few things in one particular hotel, and it took only one email to Stephanie for us to have a different hotel arranged for the following 2 nights. We would definitely recommend Irish Tourism for anyone who doesn’t have the time or the comfort level to plan and book a full excursion to this magical place!

The trip was amazing! Everything went so smoothly, from the airport pickup to the hotels and excursions! Highly recommend!

Everything went like clockwork.

This was my second tour with Stephanie It was outstanding. I was met at the airport and transported to rail station. There I received instructions on how to obtain my tickets. Then I was off. All went smoothly. I highly recommend Irish Tourism. Thank you Stephanie and crew for a memorable trip.

Linda Larkin at Irish Tourism was a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail in planning and recommendations made for a smooth trip packed with activities and beautiful sights. She listened to our wants and needs including having a castle stay and focused on exceeding our expectations. The locations were perfect and we had very nice accommodations. I highly recommend working with Linda on your dream trip to Ireland.

We originally had planned to travel in 2020. Finally in 2023 we made it! Maeve was absolutely the best to work with. She was quick and extremely efficient.we went from 4 people going to possibly 12 and ended up with 10. She listened to what we were interested in and created a flexible itinerary that worked great!!

Every step of our trip to Ireland was carefully and thoughtfully planned by Irishtourism.com. Our hotels were wonderful and in the perfect locations, we saw all the best sights, and had the vacation of a lifetime.So grateful to Maria at Irish tourism

We loved our trip to Ireland. Irish Tourism did a fantastic job setting up our trip. The B&B's were all very nice and the people running them were wonderful. Linda Larkin was helpful in answering my questions and giving suggestions. I would definitely recommend Irish Tourism.

We got a late start planning our trip which we would be taking in the height of tourist season. Tina and her team did a great job organizing a driver and accommodations for our 5-day trip. This is the second time I used Irishtourism.com to plan a holiday in Ireland and I recommend them highly.

We (group of 8 university students and 2 faculty members) had a fantastic musical trip in Ireland thanks to Irish Tourism and especially Maeve for planning our custom tour. All aspects of the tour were taken care of and we were free to enjoy the sessions with the musicians, the lovely included dinners, and the beautiful sightseeing! We look forward to traveling again with Irish Tourism in 2024.

In Dublin for the weekend and went along to see Riverdance 25 years Anniversary. I can honestly say that my family enjoyed the best show we have ever seen. I would throughly recommend it and I would certainly see it again...it was emotional, passionate and so very professional. Fabulous...A must see.

Good scenery. Friendly people.well planned trip.

Everything was taken care of. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. In addition, everything was explained in the iternary, which made it worried free.
