General Testimonials
“The hotels and travel arrangements were all first class. ”
We have just returned from a wonderful week on board the Emerald Pullman. The hotels and travel arrangements were all first class. The scenery was spectacular, why had I never visited the west coast before? That just leaves the team, David Mervyn Jim and the catering staff, who all looked after us exceptionally well. And I am sure they will be pleased to know that we made our flight home to Glasgow on time.
Thanks again for a great trip, we may meet again!
“Superb guides”
Our guides, Paul, Anthony, Gerry, John, Andrew, Patrick and Norman were wonderful and knowledgeable. They cared for us very well.
“Fabulous”
We couldn’t have asked for more!
“Thank you!”
Shirley and I wanted to thank you and the rest of the team at Railtours Ireland for all of your hard work on the Emerald Pullman trip. Your hard work along with that of the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland team made it a truly unique and wonderful experience. First class from start to finish; on the trains, on the buses, and the accommodations.
“Spectacular”
Absolutely wonderful and the guides were fabulous!
“An incredible day trip from Dublin-Galway-Aran Islands”
From the moment I met John my Railtours Ireland guide in the yellow jacket I was at ease. I was greeted with the most genuine excitement and he immediately made sure I was checked in and had everything I needed to make my day trip a success and as stress free as possible.
On our rail trip from Dublin to Galway John made sure all my questions were answered, that I was educated and informed about not only my destinations that day but also Ireland in general! I learned so much about local travel and the many other amazing destinations Ireland has to offer. John went out of his way to make sure my day was a success and I was able to see everything I wanted to and more.
On my return to the train station at Galway I was greeted by John and another Railtours guide who both were there to assure myself and two other travelers coming from another trip were safe and had everything we needed to get back to Dublin easily. Again more great conversation was had and all of our Ireland travel questions were answered with ease.
If you are interested in Ireland and rail travel (the best way to experience the country in my opinion) do not hesitate to book with Railtours Ireland! You will be well taken care of and they will all go above and beyond to make sure your travel is a success and memorable.
“Book your tour!”
Great experience with Norman, Tim (and Septa), Anthony, and Brian. All were knowledge, professional, and witty - a joy to be with.
“Beautiful scenery and incredible guide”
We had a great time on this tour!
John met us at the train station and walked us through every step. It was such a relief to not have to navigate anything - he took care of it all! John was very friendly and had so much information to share. He was also happy to answer all of our questions about Ireland and even gave us some helpful tips for upcoming sightseeing we had planned. We could not recommend John more - he was a highlight of this tour.
The Giant’s Causeway was breathtaking. You’re able to go right out on the rocks and explore a bit, and there is an optional trail that allows you to see even more of the landscape.
We would highly recommend this tour
“10/10 experience if you want to experience a lot of the Irish countryside in one day, with great company!”
This is well worth the money - the train journey was soooo lovely, to just watch the beautiful countryside go by and the coach journey was fantastic too. The whole trip was made by John, who was our guide. So knowledgeable about everything we went past with a fantastic sense of humour and just made everyone feel so well looked after. We even had a rainy Cliffs of Moher but nothing could dampen the overall 10/10 experience!! Would 100% recommend:) thanks John and our amazing driver
“Kudos to Rail Tours Ireland”
On the morning of the 15’th of June we met our tour guide, Norman Foster at the Heuston Station in Dublin, Ireland. For the next three days he met everyone of our needs in such a extraordinary way. His care to the needs of his clients was unsurpassed in any other tour we have had. His unparalleled concern that we see the richness of Ireland was remarkably touching. Norm exemplifies the pinnacle of qualities as it relates to customer service. We would not hesitate to share this knowledge of our experience with others. Norm truly demonstrated the world reputation of your organization. At the end of the tour we chanced upon Anthony O’Connell, also from your company who provided us a additional and invaluable customer service assist! Thank you!!
“Beautiful Ireland with great guides”
Such a lovely country and special thanks to Paul O’Neill for escorting us with humor and knowledge to share. The scenery and sights were great and right amount of time at each stop and got to see so much. At the end of day 3, in Galway, we switched to 3 more different escorts or guides ( Anthony O’Connell, Seamus from Tally Tour ( awesome ) and Brian Scott were also very helpful and of comfort once we no longer had Paul . Thanks for a lovely time.
