Enjoyed the trip… learning about the Troubles was one of the main reasons for me to take this trip, and I was not disappointed. Giant’s Causeway was also a highlight. Excellent accommodations and good group of fellow travelers.

The opportunity to see Northern Ireland and Donegal's Glenveagh National Park was wonderful. Chris and Stephen shared so much history that we did not know about. This trip was a great balance of modern history, nature and ancient history. We highly recommend this trip!

We had a wonderful trip! Chris and Sam had great attention to detail and shared their love of Ireland and its beautiful countryside. They were thoughtful on drives about stopping regularly for bathroom breaks! We really enjoyed being a part of a smaller tour group rather than joining a large bus experience. We highly recommend this company!

This trip was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Chris and Steve were so genuinely nice. We actually were finding it sad that it was over. What a wonderful tour!!!

We had an amazing vacation and beautiful weather in Ireland! Please don't hesitate to book with Essential Ireland! We really enjoyed our small group of eight and learned so much about Ireland from out tour guide, Sam. He has vast historical knowledge and is a great storyteller/singer and gave great advise on restaurants and pubs in every town! The 3 days in Dingle were magical and we really appreciated Sam's help setting up a golf trip to Ceann Sibeal Links course and indulging us in side trip stop to see Ballyseede Castle. Such a stress free fun trip!! We would love to go back and experience the True North tour in a few years.
