    Really wish they spelled out that the Ireland trip is just a portion of a larger trip - most of the people have already travelled together for two weeks, so that was kinda awkward. Great trip for 18-24 year old Australians.

    Me and my girlfriend had an amazing time on this trip! It is packed full of activities and the free time add-on options are awesome and not super expensive. The age restriction makes for a quite a lively group, and the guides will show you where to go out at night. Highly recommend this trip!

    The tour was great and our guide Remi was very organized and informative. The overall experience exceeded all expectations I had and I believe that all the places we visited were timed perfectly and Remi did a good job of getting us there and getting us to our next destination!
