Irish Tourism Reviews

My husband and I have been to Ireland many times because he has family there. We have always rented a vehicle, and although we loved visiting our relatives and enjoying the beautiful scenery, it was always stressful driving anywhere. We just returned from a FANTASTIC trip to Ireland, this time with my sister and brothers and their spouses, who had never been there. We booked our trip with Tina O’Connor from Irish Tourism. She was wonderful with us, returning our emails full of questions right away, and booking our many lovely B and B’s with excellent hosts, and a spectacular stay at Dromoland Castle. To top it off we were driven around the Island in a comfortable luxury van. Our driver, Peter Cazabon, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We would highly recommend Irish Tourism Group to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, memorable, stress free trip to Ireland.

Everything went so smoothly! Stephanie was amazing, and chose the greatest hotels for us, did a meet and greet in Dublin for us, as we would have had to take a bus to an unknown destination. The rail tickets were ready for us, as was a hop on, hop off bus in Dublin. We had a private driver for 1/2 a day, saving us a lot of rail changes. The price was very decent for the whole trip, and it turned out to be the less hassle vacation of the century! Thank you! Definitely will tell friends and family about this!

Our trip was a once in a lifetime experience. The accommodations were fantastic. The itinerary was perfect and we loved every minute in Ireland.

Everything was in order as we instructed.

Our trip to Ireland was thirty-years in coming. Linda Larkin and The Irish Tourism Group were awesome and our trip exceeded all expectations. All the accommodations were wonderful and she took great care in arraigning everything. We had no issues since we arrived from the rental car to all our stops, they were expecting us and were wonderful. We whole heartily recommend Linda Larkin and The Irish Tourism Group. We want to return and WILL use Linda Larkin and The Irish Tourism Group.

We were very happy with the arrangements made for our trip to Ireland. The hotels were all great quality, and walkable to city centers. They provided great information regarding driving route alternatives and sites to see. All the info is well organized, and they were helpful whenever we had questions prior to our trip. Ireland is a beautiful country with lots to see! The driving itself can be challenging, but we managed ok.. the locals provided some helpful tips as well. I highly reccomend using Irish Tourism for booking your trip.

John did a great job designing our self drive holiday in Ireland. He listened to our preferences and everything went very smoothly. Paul from Australia

Gayle and I are very pleased with the tour package provided by Irish Tourism with Linda L as our agent. The 17 day trip was simply 'laid out' with printed descriptions and necessary vouchers for all trains, limos and buses provided, with hotels located in easy walking distance. Using the train from city to city was a most pleasurable way to experience the people and highlights of Ireland and Northern Ireland and additional bus tours were enjoyable too. From first contact to arriving home was a wonderful itinerary. Thanks Linda.

The Irish Tourism Group did an amazing job of organizing our one week trip to Ireland, September 2019. We could contact Stephanie at any time and know we would receive a response with 24 hours. She tailored our trip to what interested us. Our seats on the trains were reserved. We stayed in comfortable, convenient hotels in Dublin, Killarney and Galway. We had hop on bus tickets in Dublin, a Ring of Kerry bus tour-so beautiful, and a trip to the Aran Islands outside of Galway. She also arranged a driver from Killarney to Galway. Everything was done. We just sat back and enjoyed the countryside and the friendly Irish people. I would highly recommend The Irish Tourism Group.

Irish Tourism were fantastic, Tina helped us to create the perfect trip! The hand picked accommodation was just perfect. We loved having the freedom of having a car and were so grateful that Tina was able to sort that as well. Can't wait to return to Ireland and wouldn't hesitate to use Irish Tourism again.

The tour was really good, we loved it all. Stephanie supported us in a very professional way, adapting the trip based on our requirements/needs. I really recommend her !

Irish Tourism was very patient with us as we made our initial plans for our Ireland trip and then as we made more specific plans, they were very timely in getting us quotes to help us decide on final dates and an itinerary. They made our reservations for lodging and the accommodations were great. We stayed in the towns we visited so we could easily walk and explore Ireland in the evenings. Irish Tourism set up a driver for us and he was the best at showing us the Ireland country side, castles, etc and guided us toward recommended restaurants and attractions in the towns we visited. I would highly recommend The Irish Tourism Group. We traveled in early July and the weather was perfect!

Our party of 8 were extremely pleased with using Tina from Irish Tourism to plan our trip. We could not have been more pleased with our accommodations & our private driver. Anyone looking to travel to Ireland could not go wrong with using Irish Tourism & asking for Tina.

Our trip was amazing because of the excellent service we received from irish Tourism. Stephanie arranged our car, our B&Bs and advised us. When ever we had a question, she replied immediately. Staying at B&Bs we met the hosts who not only gave us a clean comfortable room, a great breakfast but also helped us plan our trip and the best was to be able to be part of their lives and talk about local subjects. We loved the country and the people. And we are very thank ful for the advice and help and guidance given by Irish Tourism.

We recently had Irish Tourism arrange our first trip to Ireland. It was absolutely wonderful. We had beautiful lodgings at 6 different locations and enjoyed them all. We highly recommend them and look forward to our next trip to beautiful Ireland.

I wanted to thank Tina and Irish Tourism for our amazing visit to Ireland. We had a wonderful visit and found the Irish people the friendliest and most accommodating we have encountered in our travels. We especially appreciate you arranging for warm, sunny weather during the entire two weeks we were there. That was definitely superior customer service. The hotel and tour arrangements you set up made for a stress free trip and the tours were just enough to keep us active without being overwhelming. We enjoyed the entire experience but particularly loved Killarney, Galway and the music and lovely people of Ireland. Thank you, again, for contacting our air carrier regarding the lost luggage.

Irish Tourism Group was absolutely amazing! We worked with John Moylan and he arranged an unforgettable holiday for my husband and myself. He took care of every detail and sent us an overwhelming amount of site seeing information as well as "must sees" in each area we were staying. When we return to Ireland, we will definitely contact John and put our trip in his most capable hands!

A great vacation from beginning to end. Tina at Irish Tourism was wonderful to work with. The B&B’s were clean and well located. All the surprises were good ones! Thank you for a marvelous trip.

Working with The Irish Tourism Group was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our anniversary trip to Ireland. We worked closely with Tina and she was absolutely wonderful. Tina was in constant contact with us regarding everything and really helped us to plan and book the perfect trip tailored to our wants and needs. Their suggestions were wonderful and their choices in hotels were superb. I could not imagine being able to experience Ireland in the way that we did had we not booked the self-drive tour through The Irish Tourism Group. Thank you Tina and the rest of the company for everything you did to help us plan the absolute perfect trip to Ireland. We will definitely be using you again to plan a return trip!

Our vacation went off without a hitch! I was worried about dropping the rental off in Dublin and being without a car, for the last two days of our trip, to get to the hotel and then the airport, but we figured it all out and used the bus system to get to our hotel and on the trip back to the airport. We loved every single B&B you set us up with. The people were kind and cheerful, the houses were clean and fresh, and the breakfast foods were delicious. The Dromoland Castle was so beautiful....wishing we would have booked two nights at the castle; and Bunratty Castle Banquet was so much fun. I'm in love with their MEAD. The rental car situation went without hiccup....the only thing I want to note is that the GPS system that we paid extra for....was worthless. It couldn't even get us out of Dublin, even using the longitudes and latitudes, it didn't work properly. We also purchased the Tire Protection Insurance from the rental company, but were lucky enough to not have needed it. Luckily my husband downloaded Ireland Road Maps to his phone before we left and even off line that app took us directly to each location. We even purchased a road map while in Ireland, but never really used it because the off line Ireland Roads app worked perfectly. I was also worried about the hotel stay in Dublin, because I went on line and read the reviews before our trip, but we were pleasantly surprised with it once we arrived. Yes, the room was small, but we spent the majority of time walking the streets of Dublin. Oh, and another great surprise at the end of our trip was that the hotel had AC! Praise Jesus! The hotel was in the perfect position for us to walk everywhere we wanted and get back before dark. I just cannot believe it was such an amazing adventure. Thank you for your help and getting us all lined up to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary properly. Johnna Featherston
