Irish Tourism Reviews

We had an absolutely wonderful family trip to Ireland thanks to IrishTourism.com. IrishTourism planned the trip for us and provided vouchers for hotels, trains, taxis, and tours that were easy to use. The hotels were fantastic and centrally located, the drivers arranged for us (from the airport to Dublin and from Killarney to Galway) were friendly, courteous, and knowledgable, and we are SO glad that we took the rail and did not drive. The tours were fun, friendly, and fantastic. It was a LOT of activity, but since it was planned out for us, we did not stress about it. Should we return (and we would definitely like to return), we will be using IrishTourism again. We highly recommend them.

My experience was better than I could have imagined. Maria’s customer service was kind and understanding, I was very grateful to have her as our representative. Ireland was beautiful, we had great weather and almost no other tourists. I would not steer anyone away from visiting late Feb- early March just because of how private all of our tours and experiences felt. The itinerary for the trains that she gave us was most helpful, especially since we don’t commute by train often in the US. The information packet made it a breeze. This is the first trip where I’ve used an agency to book stays and excursions and I’m not sure I will ever travel another way again. Thank you for helping to make this trip an unforgettable one

My sister and brother in law wanted to travel to Ireland on our own without a formal tour because we wanted to visit the birthplaces of great grandparents. Irish Tourism popped up on a Google search. It offered several different itineraries, one of which suited our needs perfectly. All of our interaction with Linda Larkin was wonderful. Quick response, flexibility, lots of information. It was an excellent value traveling in early March, off season. And the suggested booklet of things to see and do was incredible. Packed with good ideas. The hotels were fantastic. A mix of B&Bs, 3 Star and 4 Star hotels. Loved them all. Directions were clear and succinct. It was a seamless experience. I highly recommend Irish Tourism

This was our second time planning a trip with Irish Tourism and our trip was just as perfectly executed as our first! Stephanie planned both of our trips. I also worked with Maria briefly while Stephanie was out of the office. Both are extremely prompt with communication. Correspondence often falls through the cracks when someone is out but that was not the case here. Irish Tourism clearly has a great reputation with all the hotels they work with. We have been upgraded almost every time. They provide a detailed guide of your route around the country. You can choose to stop at their suggestions or pass them by. It’s very convenient to have these tips and also a bit of history. I highly recommend this travel agency and would definitely use them for a third trip!

Our feedback is that I thought the accommodation was excellent, the trip notes comprehension and easy to follow and that everything went smoothly. I couldn’t fault the itinerary and arrangements the Irish Tourism people pulled together for us. A very enjoyable experience.

Our Best of Ireland by Rail vacation was wonderful! We saw so much of the country, and visited so many beautiful and fascinating places! The trains were comfortable and the check-in process was simple. The accommodations chosen by Irish Tourism were perfect, within walking distance of the train stations and of places of interest and dining and pubs! Stephanie at Irish Tourism was so friendly and efficient, and made everything easy!

After deciding to travel by train within Ireland, we connected with Maria Lieb just four weeks before our arrival date. She was friendly and accessible. By both phone and email, she advised us in finalizing our itinerary, customizing the 10-Day Rail Tour into 13 nights. She booked the rail legs, hotels and single-day coach tours, all of which were great. It was a successful and memorable experience all around. We'll use Irish Tourism again!

We started our experience with Stephanie at Irish Tourism after seeing different tours and receiving different quotes. We requested information and Stephanie responded quickly (keep in mind that they are based in Irelandand we are in the US., so there is a little lag). We wanted to change a few things from the initial quote and she was very helpful and made great suggestions. Absolutely everything was top notch and our requested 4 star hotels were truly 4 star or better. We chose a private driver and were provided with an amazing driver who was responsive and made great suggestions of lesser known places to see. Everything went without a hitch, all hotel reservations, etc were seamless. Our tour was catered to our preferences and frankly the trip could not have been more stress-free. One other thing to consider is that Irishtourism is Ireland based, so if there ever were a problem after arrival, they are in the same time zone, etc. We really do want to thank Stephanie for her work and communication making us feel at ease in the weeks and days leading up to and then during our trip. We truly did have the time of our lives

Linda Larkin at Irish Tourism was amazing. She listened to what we were interested in and provided us a perfect itinerary. Every so we made that she arranged was ready to go and the accommodations were perfect. Having never been to Ireland, Linda shared insight and made for the perfect holiday with thoughtful ideas of places to go and things to do. Her itinerary ideas were thorough with insight into just about everything that we'd pass on our trip so we could decide what to see and where to go.

21 days in Ireland was orchestrated by Tina. From trip planning to final details she was helpful, very responsive, listened to what we thought we wanted then putting a plan in place that turned out great! &

Tina gathered a vacation for us on very short notice and it was outstanding. We have used her services several times and are always pleased as punch. She was available to us by phone and e-mail and did an amazing job with short notice of our needs. We were able to talk to her when we had a couple of problems and she resolved them quickly and cheerfully. Her company should be very proud to have her as an employee

I stumbled across Irish Tourism by chance and am very fortunate for my luck. After providing a rough itinerary of places we wanted to visit, Linda was extremely helpful in putting together an itinerary that was exemplary. She was very open in highlighting some of the "distance" issues I was looking at if I wanted to hit everything, and worked with us to comfortably hit some amazing places, with alternate suggestions based on how much driving we felt like doing. The hotels, castles, B&B, and manors were beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I could not have found these places on my own. I highly recommend Irish Tourism for anyone looking for the perfect visit to Ireland. I will definitely contact Linda before my next visit.

We booked our delayed honeymoon (Covid married) through Stephanie G. at Irish Tourism. It was an incredibly smooth experience and we had an absolute blast. We are from USA and our flight there got delayed 17 hours. All I did was email Stephanie and she got stuff squared away to adjust our itinerary on short notice. She was very helpful during the process of figuring out exactly what we wanted to get out of our experience. We booked 6 different hotels and a rental car through Stephanie, which also came with an incredibly helpful 86 page PDF that tailored the experience for our drive, km by km if needed. We clearly did a self-guided tour option and it went so smoothly. Never any hiccups with any of the hotels or the rental car. I think the price point was pristine considering how much correspondence and customization Stephanie put into it for us. I would recommend their services to anyone. I would especially consider Ballynahinch Castle in the Connemara region, by far our favorite leg of the trip but all the hotels were absolutely stunning!

The location of the accomodations was perfect. They were all within walking distance of amenities. The suggestions for day trips were extrememly helpful. Everything was made very easy thanks to Irish Tourism - from picking up the car at the airport through our whole two week trip October 2023. Thanks!!

Communication was excellent. The itinerary and hotels were well suited to our needs.We were able to go to Northern Ireland for a fewl days and spent most of out time in The Republic. We included family history discoveries and marvelled at the beauty of the countryside and friendliness of the people we met. Most memorable highlights in Northern Ireland were Derry where we saw the Derrygirls Mural, The Tower Museum and The Giant's Causeway.. We stayed at Portrush which is a beautiful location and our base from which to explore neighbouring counties and in particular, County Antrim. We will be returning because we only 'touched the surface'. Thank you, Linda.

Irish Tourism was fantastic! We did a self-guided tour but they did all the planning. Tina was very responsive and made great suggestions. They booked hotels that were exactly what we requested in great locations. The itinerary they gave us was really helpful in planning our trip as we went. We even had to reschedule twice due to medical emergencies and Irish Tourism supported us both times without hesitation! We had such a great trip. Highly recommend them!

Great assistance all around -planning -availability of support -can’t say enough would not hesitate to recommend !

Recently booked a trip to Ireland through Linda Larkin at Irish Tourism. Linda made the experience very easy and we knew exactly what to expect. Everything went smooth, from checking in at hotels, to train tickets and tours. We stayed in Dublin, Killarney and Galway. With tours through the Ring of Kerry and Aran Islands. With the private driver from Killarney to Galway, we got to stop in two other towns along the way, highly recommend doing this option. Along the route was the Bunratty Castle, which we toured. It was absolutely amazing. Never once did we have any kind of problem. It was very helpful that the hotels they booked were close walking distance to the train stations. For first time travelers to Ireland, I believe Irish Tourism is very beneficial. We got to explore so much of the country in a short amount of time. I only wish we had more time in each city. Looking forward to coming back someday !

We just came back from a fabulous 10 day best of Ireland rail trip organized by Maria. The planning process was stress free and we were able to modify it to our liking. Every detail was planned perfectly, we loved that the hotels were very central, and everything was within walking distance. The timing of the excursions and travel days was perfectly balanced with our free time too. Maria was always available to answer questions before hand, and help with some minor changes to the itinerary. I would highly recommend using Irishtourism to plan your Irish Adventure!

Loved everything about the easiness of the planned trip
