Ireland Escorted Tours

What Are Escorted Tours?

Road Signs in Ireland An escorted tour is the most effective way to get the most out of your vacation to Ireland. Travelers are guided in a group to various destinations throughout the country. Escorted tours are conducted by a professional Tour Director who takes care of all services from the beginning to end of the tour. Our Ireland tours include the hotels, many meals, and the sightseeing events. Transportation within Ireland is conducted by luxury motor coach.

The Tour Director is one of the most important elements of any escorted travel experience, and we employ only the best local guides. Most of our Tour Directors have been with us for over 20 years, some since our inception 30 years ago, making them among the most qualified and knowledgeable in the business. From the minute you get off the plane until you're safely on your way home, you'll feel like you're in expert hands. Our ground staff meets all of our tours at the airport upon arrival to ensure that you and your luggage are being looked after. At the Welcome Reception the first night of your tour, you will be introduced to your Tour Director who will be by your side throughout the entire trip. Enjoy the vacation of a lifetime!

We strive to provide the best accommodations available. We have handpicked centrally located hotels in cities and towns and offer mostly 2-night stays. This creates a leisurely pace for travel and prevents packing and unpacking every single day. Because of the central location of the hotels, there is always an abundance of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Our minimum standard of hotel is first class; however you may choose one of our tours that includes deluxe accommodation upgrades or a castle stay.

Many inclusions come with your escorted tour, keeping the amount of extra expenditures down while on the tour. All of our escorted tours include breakfasts, some lunches, and most dinners, some with entertainment. Choices of three courses, followed by tea or coffee are always offered for dinner. A welcome dinner is usually included on the first night, leaving the second evening free for you to do a little exploring on your own. Our Ireland escorted tours also offer a wide variety of locations and attractions. All entrance fees, taxes, tips (except the gratuity to your Tour Director) are included.

With comfortable reclining seats and panoramic windows, our fleet of luxury, air conditioned motor coaches was built for relaxation, and all vehicles are less than three years old. They have a washroom on board and seat 48 people comfortably. So lean back, watch one spectacular view give way to another, and let our friendly Tour Directors entertain you with stories of the region's history, geography and folklore.

There’s never a bad time to go to Ireland. The most affordable time is between November and March when the airfares are lower and it’s less crowded. In summer the airfares go up, but you get much longer days with daylight until 10.00 pm in June and July.
