Being a travel agent we booked the service with this company however they did not do everything as promised. We first had an issue with the transfer and then it turned out they did not purchase the entrance tickets as we agreed and more importantly paid for. That was a year ago but we are still waiting for our refund but the company does not seem to care about that all. Horrible and not client oriented at all!

As a party of four we have just had an amazing 3 night 4 day experience on the Emerald Pullman First Class Train Trip. The journey took in many of Ireland's most scenic & spectacular locations including Waterford Crystal, Killarney, The Ring of Kerry , Cliffs of Moher & Galway Bay to name just a few .. We experienced first class service from the time we left Connolly Station. The whole experience was completely relaxing and hassle free as everything was organised for us every step of the way, from the lovely hotels we stayed in to the wonderful tours of our beautiful country. Would highly recommend Railtours Ireland if planning a staycation and a huge thanks & appreciation to Jim Deegan and his very professional team for a great holiday in Ireland.

Ser Davos aka Ser Adrian shared his immense knowledge about Game of Thrones with me while also giving me a huge help with my dissertation about film induced tourism. Wise and kind, just like the Ser Davos we know. Couldn’t recommend him more :)

I took a day tour with Darby O'Gill some time ago and today i found the card in my bag. Despite the delay I thought is still worth it to write a review. It was one of the best bus day tours i have ever had. We started in Dublin and drove in the countryside. The nature was beautiful and totally worth seeing. The bus amenities were great. We had enough stops and still enough time to enjoy everything. Our driver, Eary (I hope this is right) was incredible. He entertained us during the entire day in a unique way. We both laughed a lot and learned things about our trip and Ireland in general. I really hope he still does the tours so that one day i can return and enjoy the trip once again. Prices were also good comparing with Dublin prices!

Our guide was Karina and we couldn't have asked for a better one! She was brilliant and went way over the alloted 90 minutes. Very knowledgeable and a good laugh too, which we were in need of, it made for a very entertaining morning for myself and my son. Loved the little anecdotes from Bruce Springsteen to The beatles, as well as all the history, both modern and old. The recommendation of a good Whiskey shop was spot on and I'll look out for her in The Commitments film next time I watch it!
