General Testimonials
“What a great experience! Thank you so very much!”
So many highlights... the train, the people, the hotels, the food, Brian! We met so many lovely people - between your folks and other passengers! This was such a memorable journey - one rainbow after another. The crew was great! We will tell others what a lovely & good experience we had. David & Jim were great. Lots of interesting info from them. Felt safe & cared for.
“Cliffs of Moher”
We went on a tour to the cliffs with Andrew this past week. He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Not only was Andrew knowledgeable about everything he was perhaps one of the nicest humans that we have ever met. It was an amazing experience mostly due to Andrew and his knowledge and kindness. We would highly recommend this tour and Andrew to anyone who would ask.
“Great Experience for a Lovely day trip”
We booked this excursion through Shore Excursions Group, and our guide, Andrew, made the day truly memorable. The tour started with a scenic train ride and continued by bus, giving us a great mix of experiences. Andrew shared so many interesting details about the area, and his knowledge added so much to the trip.
Blarney Castle was definitely a highlight, and we felt the timing at each stop was just right. The smaller group size was also a big plus—much more relaxed than the large cruise‑ship tours.
Overall, the excursion was a great value, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded introduction to the area.
“Guide Andrew made the day truly memorable. Great tour!”
I was met at the train station by John who escorted me on my train ride to the tour. He was very nice and I learned about his years working on the train line.
After the train ride I met my tourguide for the day Andrew. I had the privilege of being one of just two guests on Andrew's tour that day and loved every minute of it. Andrew is SO knowledgeable about the history, culture, and sights to see throughout the entire tour. He ensured we visited all the best spots on the Mohers to get a truly thorough experiance and I loved it.
This was the last full day tour I took on a three week trip and I can easily say it was my favorite day of the entire trip thanks to Andrew!
“Wonderful, sustainable and flexible”
What a wonderful, sustainable and flexible itinerary! Do prepare for an early morning, but know you are being blessed with the thing none of us have enough of - time! Was glad for a hosted journey which could be adapted and adjusted based on group interest, weather and curiosity. The guides give you support and guidance as well as flexibility so it's more like visiting a city with a trusted local friend. Words cannot express how much a delight Andrew was as a guide - a true host and kindred spirit from the first cup of tea on the journey up to the ride back. His passion for railroads is only surpassed by his passion for this remarkable island. I will be recommending this to any of my friends travelling to Ireland, and hope you expand your operations to other countries!
“Great trip to the West of Ireland!”
We were in Dublin and booked the west coast tour for 6 of us. The whole tour was magnificently organized. Our guide David was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We were given plenty of time to see the sights. Would highly recommend it.
“Very fun!”
I have been on at least 4 of the day tours - very affordable, tour guide full of knowledge and humour. Very fun!
“Exceptional White Glove Service!”
Paddy was knowledgeable of the towns we visited and kept us on schedule. He was helpful and went above and beyond to make our experience feel “first class.”
Kilkenny Castle and the town was lovely and definitely worth a visit. We visited during the off season to avoid the crowds.
Highly recommend this tour company if you are looking for train travel.
“Beautiful Landscape and Delightful Conversation!”
Our group of 3 were the only participants traveling on the day trip. Our guide, Andrew, was friendly, helpful, and engaging on the train rides to/from Kerry. Andrew showed us around Killarney and gave us his knowledgeable tips and trivia facts!!
We joined a bus tour around the Ring of Kerry. There were a few stops, mostly short photo opportunities. The driver was efficient and helpful.
Highly recommend if you only have a day to see the sights in that part of the country.
“Reliable and friendly service!”
Had a great time on our trip!
This is my second time going on this tour and I am never disappointed!
Guides and drivers are amazing!
“Felt like a VIP”
Great tour, no doubt. Paddy, our guide went above and beyond to help my wife and I see
some extra things outside of the scheduled tour. We were treated like VIPs the entire time
and saw some amazing things. Highly recommend!
