We really enjoyed our Essential Ireland tour. Money well spent! Our guide, Stephen McPhilemy, made the trip so much fun. It was a perfectly-paced tour, with lots of time to explore Ireland on our own. We had a relatively small group (nine tourists), who were all very friendly. We saw and learned so much about Ireland and its history, and we also experienced its raw beauty. We did the True North tour, and now we can't wait to go back and do the Southern tour with Stephen ... hopefully next year. If you want to fall in love with Ireland, and its rich history, book an Essential Ireland tour. Thank you again Stephen!
