Charming Villages, Traditional Tales & Hiking the Dingle Peninsula Ireland: Charming Villages, Traditional Tales & Hiking the Dingle Peninsula , ON, Canada, Sep 2026
We would go with G Adventures again and refer others to them. Small group tour with an exceptional CEO. All 16 of us knew each other well and everyone helped everyone else. Great fun. Ethan and Global Journeys did a great job too. I wish I had booked at a location suggested by Ethan for our last overnight and not booked online with Clayton Airport Hotel read more outside of Dublin which was a horror show getting to it since there are two Clayton Hotels. Now that is confusing!!
Britain and Ireland Experience Britain and Ireland Experience , New Zealand, Aug 2026
Overall sights of tour were great as was our tour guide Aileen, who was also very good. Only issue we had some accommodation which was older and pretty tired - needs to be looked at. Thanks.

Irish Adventure Irish Adventure , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
The Irish Adventure was the second part of our holiday- the first being a trip around Italy with Insight Vacations. CIE was a wonderful tour company also. A much bigger group, 40 people. So when we first saw how large the group was I must say I was a little concerned how it would all work, but the driver/tour guide was excellent and it all went very read more smoothly.

We loved Ireland, the Irish humour and stories/myths and it was a lot of fun. Again we were the only Australians. Although it was a large group, many travelled together and were in groups of say 6 or 7, so they pretty much kept to themselves which was fine. It then made the group of people “mingling” together to be around 24, so again it was lovely sharing that time. Everyone got on very well and the activities etc catered to the majority of the people. The accommodation was also excellent, each one better than the previous. And on our last day in Dublin, we happened to arrive for the grand final of a big Irish football league and the team that won had not won for 75 years, so you can imagine the party celebrations in Dublin that night. And our hotel was right opposite the stadium where the game was played, so the atmosphere was fabulous!! And naturally, we all joined in on the celebrations even if we did not understand or watch the game……..the sheer jubilation, stories and celebration was enough to want to be a part of. So I would recommend CIE also, although I got the impression that most tours around Ireland are around to 35-40 people mark. Again, thank you Grace for all your assistance with our overseas trip. 😊
