This trip was wonderful. It was like visiting family who knew all the great places to go to and really cared about your experience. We were enriched with so much history, while having so much fun. Loved the people, the places, the food and the hotels. They did everything right.

By Linda S for Heart of Ireland Tour 2024 on Oct 17, 2024

My husband and I had received a strong recommendation for this tour and Liam and it didn't disappoint! Besides visiting iconic, important sites, we learned a lot from Liam that we're sure we wouldn't hear from other tours. It was a great day and we also recommend it!
