My wife and I had not been to Ireland together previously. We had a very splendid time there. Our driver/tour guide, Jerry Maher, was entertaining. He has a broad knowledge base, and was very informative. Jerry honestly presented Ireland's storied history and Ireland's positive outlook about itself and its aspirations for the future. Our local guides especially in Derry and Dublin were informative and entertaining; and gave personal insight about the local history both old and recent. This tour made me contemplate returning, very soon. It was great !

This was my first tour over the sea, and I had a great time. The hotels, places, events, city guides and a knowledgeable driver (Gerry), made this an experience that will be tough to beat for any future tours I may take.

Absolutely awesome trip. Our driver, Gerry Maher was exceptional. So much information given, very accommodating, and very conscientious. Highly recommend this tour. My sisters and a friend of ours were extremely impressed by Ireland.

Comprehensive coverage of Ireland with a full array of tours and a wonderful driver/narrator/tour director. Paul Keary looked out for us individually and as a group and kept us all in good humor and gave us a great historical view of Ireland. We really felt like we got to know this country with its culture and lovely people. Great hotels, wonderful food and delightful entertainment. Thank you, smarTours . Many in our group had taken your tours before. We did China and want to do more.

We had been to Ireland before -- once a cruise line stop and also doing a self-drive 1 week trip using B&B's. Every visit has been great, but we definitely saw the most on this trip. Our guide/driver was Paul Kealy and he was the best tour guide I have ever experienced. His knowledge was astounding and he had a wonderful personality and dealt with the many different personalities very well. All of the hotels were well chosen and certainly met our needs. It is a busy trip -- up early every morning and a very packed daily schedule. But we saw so much, and and did have some down time (mostly in the evenings). I would highly recommend this Ireland trip to anyone -- it offered the most venues at a reasonable price.

What a great tour! We could not have asked for a better driver/guide than Gerry Maher. He gave us a wealth of information on Ireland, and carefully drove us around the beautiful countryside. Certainly was a magical trip.

This tour was all that I expected and more. We saw all the highlights of Ireland that you could hope to see in 12 days. Our driver/director Paul Kealy was phenomenal. He knew all about the history, and the best sights, and the best pubs and restaurants. His concern for the group was evident, and he had no end of humorous stories. A Great Trip all around.
