“Amazing 3 days tour”
Such an amazing at to see this stunning country. Our tour guide Brain was
knowledgeable and entertaining! I wish I had booked a longer tour but there
is always a next time! Can’t recommend enough!
“SPECTACULAR”
We went on a 3 day tour of Southern Ireland including Blarney Castle, the Ring of Kerry, and the Cliffs of Moher. Blarney castle was SPECTACULAR absolutely the stuff fairytales and mythical stories are inspired by. A picturesque wonderland to explore and take scenic walks on, surrounded by exquisite stunning foliage shrubbery plants flowers and trees and the occasional waterfalls. It’s such a magical place! The tour was extremely well organised and I cannot recommend our guide Norman highly enough- he is such a wonderful gentleman very polite, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humour and makes sure everyone has the best time!
The accommodation was also lovely and we stopped off at some lovely souvenir shops and food places- I have garnered a lifetime of gorgeous memories of this beautiful country, I really recommend them highly. Well worth going with and takes the hassle out of organising. Coaches were all clean too. Thank you Railtours Ireland and in particular Norman, you are a gem!
“Lovely Tour”
Railtours Ireland made everything easy for us to explore the south and west of Ireland. We were able to use the Hop-on/Hop-off bus in Dublin prior to our rail tour which worked out well for us. Andrew and Peter were both excellent guides. They had so much knowledge and stories to share and tips on where to eat dinner. Thanks for making our trip so enjoyable!
“The combination of rail and coach was relaxing and fun.”
The 3 day tour we took was a fantastic way of seeing much of the south and west of Ireland without having to worry about the logistics of connections, reservations etc. The combination of rail and coach was relaxing and fun. Our hotel in Killarney was great as were all the stops for food and refreshment.
Our tour guide Brian did a wonderful job of giving us the history and culture of not just the places we were seeing but the country as a whole. He did it all with wit and humour, all the while making sure the logistics of our trip went smoothly. Hats off to him and tour as whole.
“A truly wonderful and memorable time! ”
My daughter and I recently returned from our 3 day Blarney Castle, Ring of Kerry and Cliffs of Moher Tour.
I'd like to tell you what a truly wonderful and memorable time we both had! We loved how efficient and punctual it all was and every aspect of the tour. Our tour guide, Peter, was fabulous and so fun. He made the tour just so enjoyable. We hated to leave the tour at the end!
We both agreed we would love to do another tour in the future! We left for the USA feeling like we had just experienced something very special. Ireland was simply beautiful, both the people and the country.
“A Great Way To See Ireland.”
This rail tour and coach trip was amazing and a great way to see Ireland and learn about the history. Our tour guide Brian Duggan was so witty and so knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He even through in a birthday treat at one of the restaurants for my wife's special birthday. We would highly recommend the railtour and their tour guides. Thank you Brian for making it special for us and we hope to come back again soon
“Efficient, fun, and very knowledgeable guides!”
I had such a wonderful time all three days! All of my guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. The cliffs of moher was particularly wonderful, our guide John was wonderful, and our driver Jerry was a rockstar, they made two extra stops for us to see extra sights during the day. If you don't want to have to worry about anything but also pack in a lot of sites, I would highly recommend.
“I cannot say enough great things about Railtours”
3 Day Cork City,Blarney, Ring of Kerry and Cliffs of Moher tour
My husband and I were making our first trip to Ireland and wanted to see the most popular sites in the shortest period of time. Railtours of Ireland seemed to fit with multi day tours via train as well as coach. From the first phone call to book the tour,to the final day, I cannot say enough great things about Railtours. We arrived in Dublin on Wed and were given a complementary Hop on/Off bus ticket allowing us to see the Dublin sights.The following day we were met at the train station by David our tour guide who handed us our travel information and accompanied us on our 1st days journey to the Blarney Castle .The seats on the train were reserved and David spent the time getting to know each person on the trip.By the time we arrived in Cork, we felt like we were friends. The rest of the group had done the tour as a day trip so at the end of the day David was returning with them to Dublin. We however, were heading to Killarney to pick up the Ring of Kerry tour the following day. If I had reviewed the trip at this point it would have been 5*****, with David being an amazing historian and guide.I had no idea that it was just the beginning of great things to come.
As were nearing the end of the day, David informed us that when we got to the train station we would be met by a woman named Margaret, who also worked for the company. She would be responsible for coordinating our trip the remainder of the way to Killarney. We met Margaret who was as wonderful as David.Again we had reserved seats on the train. She facilitated our transfer from one train to another and came with maps of Killarney and several recommendations for shops and restaurants for our two night stay there. On arrival to Killarney station we were handed off to Dennis who drove us to the hotel and got us settled. We truly felt like VIP’s having a “handler” assuring that everything went smoothly.The following day we walked around the corner from the hotel and met up with The tour group going to Ring of Kerry.Ray was the outstanding tour guide, and we returned to our hotel with some great knowledge and pictures. The final day was the Cliffs of Mohar tour meeting up with David again coming from Dublin. Their driver, Batt ,picked us up at our hotel and provided car service to the meeting point an hour away. He waited with us until the coach arrived assuring that we were in the hands of Railtours before departing. Once again we had a great day with David with lots of amazing photos of the cliffs. We hope to bring our family with us next time and without a doubt will utilize This company for the group. The combination of sights and fantastic people of Railtours showed us the true beauty of Ireland

“The Best Way To See Ireland”
"We just returned from the 3 day tour through Cork, the Ring of Kerry and the Cliffs of Moher. Our tour guide, Norman, was the best tour guide I have ever had. He even lent us Euro when all we had was US dollars so we could see Brandon's sheep herding demonstration, which was a highlight of our tour. Norman was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions. We had beautiful weather with grand views of the Irish countryside. The restaurant stops were first class with excellent food at every stop.I highly recommend this tour company and cannot wait to use them again. Our next trip will include tours of the Aran Islands and the Giants Causeway."
