The Irish Odyssey tour was a dream come true! Belleek Pottery was a hidden gem, and the beauty of Kylemore Abbey is beyond words. The South Pole Inn's Irish coffee was a delightful surprise. GoIrishTours made every moment memorable, and I can't wait to join another adventure with them.

Our group had an amazing time exploring Ireland with GoIrishTours. The visit to the Bru na Boinne Visitor Center was both educational and fascinating. The unique setting of Clarke's Bar in Drogheda for sampling local beer added a special touch. A well-rounded tour with memorable stops and experiences.

We embarked on the Irish Odyssey tour with GoIrishTours, and it was an absolute delight! The blend of history at Kilmainham Gaol and the breathtaking beauty of the Cliffs of Moher left us speechless. The step dancing display at Cabra Castle Hotel was a true cultural treat. I highly recommend this 12-day adventure.
