What people love about touring Ireland solo
- 7-Day Ireland to Island Small Group Tour of Ireland
My trip with Overland was absolutely five star from start to finish. From the wonderfully comfortable transportation to the standard of our guide, Pat, who was not only exceptionally friendly and engaging but thoroughly knowledgeable on all things, well, everything; the history of Ireland to modern day politics. No request was too small or too big – he looked after everything we needed. The highlight of this trip for me was the Skelligs tour – it had been on my bucket list for a long time and I’m so glad it was Overland who helped me tick this off. It does not disappoint despite all the hype – in fact, I think it is only surpassed in real life. Standing on a little rock in the middle of the Atlantic ocean surrounded by adorable puffins in the middle of a wondrous historic site….it truly is magical. Hands down one of the best trip I’ve done in Ireland – I couldn’t recommend Overland highly enough.
- Irish Spirit- 8 Days/7 Nights
The tour was great. Exceeded expectations
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
Connor (spelling) was the most remarkable tour guide that I have ever had. They were more accommodating to our questions, and requests than I could have possibly asked for, and this was the adventure of a lifetime. Nonstop information, fun activities and something for the entire family to enjoy. Well worth the trip, and I would highly recommend this for anyone, regardless of experience with tours, travel or Ireland. Excellent experience!
