What people love about touring Southern 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.
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
Guide was well Informed and flexible with the group, while staying on track with our schedule. Great sense of humor!
- The Irish Pub Tour - 9 Days/8 Nights
The Driver was excellent.........I will remember him as much as I will remember the Tour.....when I think of Ireland, I will first think of him.
