4 of us visited Bunratty Castle and Folk Park on Monday 29th. September 2020 and it was wonderful. My Wife and I have been here many times but for my Niece and her Partner, it was their first time, as Adults. Our visit to the cottages - on our way to the castle, gave a realistic perceptive on how the Irish lived in times gone by. Then to the Castle - proudly standing since the 15th. Century-and greeted by Chris, in period costume, who gave a comprehensive and beautifully voiced history of the Castle. Then up the spiral staircase to the Great Hall - with all its 15th. Century artefacts - and greeted by Anja-in period costume too, who gave us the history of that part of the castle. Finally we toured the Folk Park and Village and encountered donkies, pigs, Irish Wolfhounds and most of all - hand sanitizers, one way systems etc-safety during this pandemic. Thank you Pauline, Aileen, Michael, Aodhán, Anja and Chris for a most memorable day. Míle Buíochas

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.

This was by far the best tour we went on during our trip. All the places we visited are so beautiful and breathtaking. We were able to take our time at every location. We didn't feel rushed at all. James was the best guide. He is so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. James is such cool guy and we are blessed we got to meet him. He recommended some great places. We are dying to go back. We will definitely be in touch for a future tour. We also did the Black taxi tour which is so interesting and informative. We recommend that as well, it is heartbreaking but very eyeopening. We are very glad to have had the opportunity to attend the Black taxi tour as well.

The sheepdog trials can be seen in most weather conditions, Caherconnell have fantastic facilities to protect the guests. The sheepdog handler John was an excellent host with control over 4 dogs that you would be just left speechless with.

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!
