This was my first Smartour and I would recommend it. Paul, our tour guide, was always available and helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the country and provided excellent guide in Dublin, Belfast, Derry and Galway.

Our guide and driver Gerard Maher made it a truly unique trip. He was very thoughtful and helpful to all in our group. His knowledge of Ireland and his humor was exceptional.I have taken other Smartours and he was the best guide yet.

The Magical Ireland tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, Gerry Maher, was the best! His wit, knowledge, conscientiousness, and caring enhanced the pleasure of experiencing the beauty and culture of Ireland. Gerry took a personal interest in everyone and went out of his way to make the tour experience special to each individual. This was my first SmarTour and because of the wonderful experience I look forward to future trips.

This was one of our favorite vacations so far. We've been to many places around the world, but this trip was great! Paul Kealy really made the trip memorable with his wit and knowledge.

The Magical Ireland tour with Paul Kealy was a fantastic, informative, fun-filled journey around the Emerald Isle. Paul was funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, interesting, and a great driver! Couldn't have asked for a better time. We loved it and would do another tour with Smartours in a heartbeat.

First off let me say a big Thank you to Matt Rafter our Driver/Tour Director. Matt did an outstanding job and made the tour a magical, informative, educational and wonderful experience. As this was my first trip abroad I was blessed to have his expertise and knowledge. The other local guides did a fine job as well. The only drawback I found was the walking tours falling at the end of the day after events and stops along the way and being on the bus all day. I just wanted to get to my hotel room and have time to prepare for dinner rather than set off on a walking tour at 4 PM. Clarion Hotel in Limerick's staff was less than friendly, they had no business center and we had to buy electrical adapters that even the much smaller hotels provided? I would recommend SmarTours and would use them again myself!

Like so many visitors from the USA/Canada, we had great fun tracing our roots back to The Emerald Isle. Surprisingly we discovered our ancestors covered Great Britain in it's entirety. We found family surnames from Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales!!! Our Tour Director/Driver, Matt, was fantastic. He took very, good care of us and did it with a sense of ease. He was informative, caring, intelligent and had a wonderful sense of humor. I'm sure you consider him a great asset to your company, right? :) A couple of suggestions; no walking tours at the end of a day, also would like to see you select a different hotel in Limerick. It was very dismal with gray and black colors and staff that was very different from the friendly staff in our previous hotels. It felt like we had landed in a eastern block country. Overall I was very impressed with my first trip with smarTours and will gladly recommend you folks to others.

This tour of Ireland by SmarTours is well worth the money! Ireland is truly a beautiful country with Paul Kealy as your guide. The tour went smooth all the way around Ireland with Northern Ireland also. I have no complaints about the quality of hotels nor food. I recommend this tour with SmarTours.
