“I’m glad they had a backpacker option so that I could afford to do this as a student traveling solo! Gordon, our driver, literally knew everything and everyone - he introduced us to lots of locals and gave great recommendations and even hung out with us at the pub in the evenings. (The Celtic Steps show in Killarney and the Black Taxi Tour in Belfast were especially great experiences). The transit experience was great: we had a small coach and a small group (about 15) and the coach had wifi. The accommodations (except the first night) were also very nice - backpackers even got a private room in Annascaul. Breakfast…”

7.6-Day Tour of Southern Ireland from Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 11 reviews · from $997Best value

Travel from Dublin through southern and western Ireland on a six-day guided tour with transport, breakfast, lodging, and entrance fees included. You’ll see Glendalough, Kilkenny, Blarney Castle, the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway. English is the tour language, and private groups are available.

“The itinerary was not followed. They zig zagged across the country instead of a logical path around like the itinerary stated it would be. This made it so you only had 15 minutes at some destinations. We spent more time at gas stations than at some of our planned destinations. We spent more time on the bus doing it this way as well. The guide was rude when you would ask a question and talked bad about previous people who had done the tour. The guide stated that they made the reservations for hotels everyday and that would determine where we ended up based on what was available that day.…”
