7-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour

It was a wonderful trip! Highly recommend it to others. Our tour guide Mike Duggin was so knowledgeable and kept us all laughing!

7-Day Great Atlantic Adventure Small Group Tour

It was a busy tour but we saw and did so much and got to see so much of the courtry. Our guide was outstanding!

• Coach / Bus

Best of Ireland (10 Days)

We travelled across Ireland with Trafalgar and would totally recommend them to anyone. They chose venues and excursions that were of interest to everyone and were sensitive to everyone's wishes. I would definitely travel with them again, it was a pleasurable experience! Gisela Reimer

• €100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Irish Highlights (Summer, 7 Days)

Very good hotels and Jill was an excellent guide. The tour included a good selection of Irish tourist spots and places of interest. More time in Dublin would have been better. The included meals in Dublin and the cooking school were far too early for dinner and too late for lunch so we could not take full advantage of them and enjoy them. In all a good taste of Ireland.

The Celtic Voyage - Multi-Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland

This tour was so good! We experienced more of Ireland than the itinerary indicated (because of stops we made along our journey, which I loved!), but never felt rushed. Our guide Diarmuid is such a professional - he provided us with interesting information about the places we stopped and Ireland in general, kept us on schedule with a relaxed demeanor, and is genuinely a very nice person. I've never traveled with a tour group before and this one couldn't have been any better. The Emerald Isle is so beautiful and everyone is so friendly that, even when there was a bit of rain, it was still fun. Many thanks to Mick and Diarmuid (the best!!) for making this a most memorable trip. PS the accommodations were fantastic - especially the breakfasts!

10 Day Wild Irish Experience - Small Group Tour

Irish experience tour group was fantastic. Great value for your money and Lee, our tour guide, was amazing. Always going above and beyond and made us feel like family. A beautiful and friendly country that slows down to smells the roses.

• €99 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

8 Day Castles & Coast Experience - Small Group Tour

Wonderful small bus experience. I think we saw everything there was to see. Lots of fun.

Wild South - Multi-Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland

This tour was so much fun. Everything was great- our guide Diarmuid was very engaging and friendly. His relief driver, Michael, was very nice as well. Both were safe drivers and I felt at ease with them behind the wheel. Accomodations were pretty good, except at our last stop our dormitory had 8 people, which may have been a few too many. All in all, I had a wonderful time and created some great memories. I would recommend it to anyone!

Great Tour of Ireland ( 7 days )

Introduction to Ireland

Wonderful trip. The guide, Tricia, was such fun and a great storyteller. We saw the many regions and visited some local venues we would never have found on our own. This was our first trip yo Ireland, and would highly recommend it. Great people, beautiful lodgings, and amazing visits. Go on the excursions, they are worth the extra money and add a day onto your trip to see a bit more of Dublin.

Kerry Royal

Overall good...don't like showers over tub..dangerous...slip mats essential. Gresham Dublin confusing because of the Reno's. Our tour leader and driver were excellent, but the relief driver for our visit to Dingle was downright scary.

Emerald Isle

This was an excellent way to see a lot of the Republic of Ireland in a short period of time. Personally I felt too long was spent in Blarney; for those who didn’t want to kiss the stone the only alternative was shopping or eating and it was too early for the latter.

Focus on Ireland (Classic, 7 Days)

Greg was a fantastic tour guide. He was very informative and funny. Kept everyone organized.

Irish Elegance (Classic, 8 Days)

Excellent trip! Greg was helpful and gave great advice. He provided that extra service that made the trip special.

5-Day Escape to the South West Small-Group Tour from Dublin

Such an incredible journey through the south of Ireland. Still so much more to see but Dan did an incredible job of giving us all of the history and highlights of the land he is obviously so proud to share. Highly recommend.

What people love about Ireland Tours

Mike was amazing! We had such a great group of people, Mike was so full of knowledge about the history and culture of Ireland, and it was so laid back. We got to explore each destination at a leisurely pace and enjoyed most evenings checking out the local bars. Highly recommend!

Exceeded my expectations. Culture, landscapes, language, history, activities…so much in just a week. Accommodations were very comfortable, food was delicious and plentiful, people were welcoming and generous. Our guide (Pat O’Mara) made the entir3 experience an absolute joy. He was knowledgeable, told stories and histories in a folksy and humorous tone. He was competent, flexible, and inspired with a clear love of his own country that made us love it too.

This was my first time in Ireland. I absolutely loved everything about this trip. Tour guide and bus driver were amazing. Totally worth every penny. Would go back in a heartbeat

Our small groups guarantee Never more than 26 guests per tour

We always keep our tour group sizes small. That's because we want every guest to get the comfort, space and service they deserve. Although many other companies squeeze in groups of up to 50, even the largest of our tour packages are strictly limited to just 26 guests. That leaves empty seats on the coaches. So why do we limit our tours to such small group sizes? Here are six reasons.

Superior Service

Guests consistently list our small group sizes as a top reason why they would book with us again. See our reviews...

More focus on you

With a smaller group, our tour guides have more time to get to know you and your interests.

We deliberately leave empty seats on our coaches, so you can relax and spread out.

Experience each attraction up-close and personal, with more time to ask questions and see what interests you.

Speedier Check-Ins

Compared with many of our rivals, our smaller group sizes make checking in and out of the hotels a breeze.

More Relaxed Pace

Experience Ireland at your own pace. No rushing to keep up and no waiting around for large groups to assemble.
