Overall the experience was 5 out of 5. As someone with Irish heritage, this journey held a special meaning to me. It was amazing to see so much in just 12 days. The coach was comfortable and I appreciated having wifi. Brian was an amazing tour guide. He made this tour!


The accommodations were excellent except in Derry. It is very outdated and our bed was small. I just wish we had more time at some places. I know a lot is planned but would have liked one morning to start later to have some down time. I highly recommend Shamrock Tours and will plan a future trip!

Best trip ever, plenty to do and see but did have some good down time as well.

Patrick really made the tour extra special and went out of his way to make sure the tour was as smooth and seamless as possible.

Would highly recommend Shamrock Tours.

My husband and I went on the 12 day guided tour of Ireland in August 2024. Martin was our tour guide. He was fun and interesting to listen to as he spoke of Ireland's history and present day Ireland as we traveled throughout the country. I can't say enough about his attention to detail and making sure that everything went smoothly throughout our trip. He made it easy for us.

The places we stayed were very nice and so were our meals. We experienced so much in such a short time in Ireland, but never felt rushed. I would highly recommend Shamrock Tours to anyone thinking of an Ireland tour.

I really enjoyed the tour and felt a genuine connection to Ireland’s culture through our guide’s stories. The itinerary was well planned, even if a few moments felt rushed. It was a heartwarming adventure overall.

My friend and I did the 12 day guided tour in April. It was amazing, not only because the country is breathtaking and the locals are so welcoming, but also because our guide, Patrick, was absolutely incredible. The accommodations were lovely and the food was delicious. I truly wish I was still there!

So much history and culture to discover. No regrets choosing Shamrock Tours. What are you waiting for book it!

We really enjoyed the tour. Got to know lots of the people and was able to learn lots about Ireland!

Did not like living out of a suitcase for 12 days, but understand that was the only way to see so much of Ireland.

My guided tour of Ireland was nothing short of amazing. Travelling in a modern, comfortable bus, learning from a passionate guide, and relaxing in charming accommodations truly enhanced the experience. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to experience Ireland’s rich culture and history!

Our tour in May 2024 was our 1st group tour we have taken as we have always traveled independently. I can not say enough about our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and very attentive, as well as his sense of humor. The hotels were 4 star. I must say that the dinners at each of the restaurants were all very similar, so was not a big fan of that. We would highly recommend this trip to others that want to see Ireland for the 1st time and have a tour with a personal touch. Thank you for making our 25th wedding anniversary memorable.

Wow! My guided Ireland Tour with Shamrock Tours was perfect from start to finish, so organized and professional yet relaxed and fun. Patrick, our guide, was incredible, sharing his historical insights and genuine love for this magnificent country. He also shared his passion for Irish music, and by the way, he has a wonderful voice! This was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always treasure.

Based on the recommendation of friends who previously traveled with Shamrock Tours, we chose the 12 day tour in July. What a great choice! My husband and I couldn't have been happier with the tour and highly recommend Shamrock Tours to anyone interested in seeing the wonderful country of Ireland. Whether we were in the lovely countryside with the green grasses and stone fences or in the cities of Galway, Killarney or Dublin, the people are all so friendly. Accommodations and food were good. What made the trip exceptional was our tour guide. He was outstanding from the time he picked us up. He was very informative with his narratives, always on time and very communicative. A grand trip!!

This was our first overseas trip and our first Tour Bus trip. 12 days was a little rough but we got to see the whole Isle of Ireland and sights we would have never seen on a shorter trip. Our tour guide was amazing and we felt very safe with Brian. His historical knowledge and insights were top notch. Thank you Shamrock Tours and Brian for a wonderful memory.
