“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!

“Once in a lifetime vacation , Ireland style”

Once in a lifetime trip! Railtours Ireland took care of everything, booking, accommodation and travel! We were so luck to have Peter for the first 3 days of our trip. He helped find me when I got lost on the train 🙃 was an excellent resource of history, education and humor along the way. 10/10! On our last leg , we were fortunate to have met John. A kind soul who took his time with each of us to give us the lay of the land and keeping us laughing. I will never not see Ireland as a teddy bear now 😉. An amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone! The views, experiences, history and food are so dreamy. Loved every minute!

“Train to Blarney Castle!”

Brian was a friendly and very informative guide. I would recommend. Having participated in a bus tour two days prior, the speed of the train was a welcome change.

“Blarney’s Castle Adventure”

Our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and approachable with questions. He took his time to answer everyone’s questions. The train ride was a different twist but overall it added to the charm. Our bus driver was outstanding. I drive a large vehicle on small mountain roads so I respect how well our driver did with a large bus on these little roads. Outstanding.

“An unforgettable experience with my guide John!”

If you’re staying in Dublin and looking to make a visit to the Aran Islands and Galway without the hassle of driving yourself, this is an excellent option.

I had the pleasure of spending time with my guide, John Todd, who was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. His company really added to the experience!

I would recommend this excursion.
