General Testimonials

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!

The Emerald Pullman 7 night/8 day private rail tour from Dublin was the best tour that I have ever done by far! Cannot say enough about the tour staff - knowledgeable, fun, helpful. The variety of tours provided a good overview of the island. Each hotel was different, from the grand old railroad hotel to the castle on the coast to the modern hotel in Belfast, each were unique and special. Overall a wonderful experience.

We loved the diversity of the travel and stay. We enjoyed the views and service on the train and the agility and commentary of the luxury coach. Each hotel was unique and we enjoyed all three. The sheep herding, Giant's Causeway, and hospitality of Abbeyglen Castle were favorites. But, by far, the wonderful hospitality, commentary and stories from our hosts: Jim, David, and Mervyn made our trip so memorable! We will share our experiences when we return home.

We have been so excited to take this trip and you've exceed our expectations! Thank you for all the craic! It was lovely to use Mervyn and David as 'google' for all our questions. Your knowledge made everything more interesting, You took such great care of us, always with a smile. THANK YOU!

We very much enjoyed our holiday in Ireland with Railtours Ireland and the weather was unexpectedly perfect! We found the snacks and drinks served on board the train excellent and plentiful,

and being on the train was far nicer than being on the coach. It was easier to talk with our friends and others but we do appreciate there were places the train could not take us, but you could see far more than when in a coach. The hotels were excellent and all of you made it a very enjoyable and relaxed holiday.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends.

The Railtours was amazing and I have recommended this tour to many since I have returned. Many great memories of David, Mrs David, Mervyn, Natalia and Carina. Also the 2gals and fellow that plied us with wonderful goodies.  I am still dreaming at night of my trip. Kilkenny was hands down favorite city of many. Fond memories of the smaller villages we would stop  for lunch or visit. I am officially off the train or plane physically now and enjoying the pics and memories.  Thank you all for a successful journey .

David and Mervyn were EXCELLENT tour guides. I learned so much from the both of them while taking in the gorgeous sights, sounds and flavors of Ireland. It was a truly transformative trip and I will absolutely recommend it to anyone in the future. I look forward to returning to the emerald isle soon and hopefully seeing the team again.

Cheers!

It was the best trip ever! Not only did I see so much of Ireland, but I felt safe and was well informed throughout the trip. Other passengers were lovely and the evening stays were so comfortable. 

I will certainly recommend you to my family and friends.

Well done and all the best.
