Great Atlantic Tour Review
Overland did an excellent job to organize our tour. Our guide, James, was superb and made things very easy for us. The accommodations were terrific, especially the Plaza in Westport. The sheepherding demonstration and the Cliffs of Moher hike were highlights for us.

Thank you so much for the review! We are delighted you loved the Cliffs of Moher hike, the sheepherding demonstration, and staying at The Plaza in Westport. James will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He always makes sure everything runs smoothly!

Magical Tour was Magic!
Our trip was outstanding and Jimmy our driver & guide made it delightful. He cared very much about everyone's needs. I doubled my step count for the week, I’m happy tired. Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever been to, our drives through the countryside were breathtaking. Irish people are absolutely joyful and so nice. I will be back. Our group had a lot of fun together and that was a plus! .
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We love hearing that you had such a fun group dynamic and experienced the warm local hospitality firsthand (and got those steps in!). Jimmy will be thrilled to read your kind words about his care and dedication. We can't wait to welcome you on another small group adventure, whether that's back here in Ireland or exploring Portugal next time! Warm regards, Ilaria & everyone here at Overland Tours

His knowledge of the country and places we visited along with his quick wit and sense of humor contributed highly to our experience. Jimmy made great recommendations about local restaurants and pubs.

Cathal was a thoughtful, kind, informative and enjoyable guide. We learned a tremendous amount from him all along the way - history, stories, geography - you name it! This was our first trip to Ireland and the mixture of destinations gave us a wide array of experiences exposing us to the vibrant culture of Ireland’s uniques cities and towns. We are so grateful to Overland Ireland for planning an adventurous and fulfilling itinerary. We adore Cathal and highly recommend this for you!!!

Fabulous Ireland!
I highly recommend Overland Tours. On a group trip with old friends we enjoyed all the magic of Ireland without the stress of driving and planning. We hit the jackpot with Cathill, our driver. He kept us on schedule, provided additional recommendations and had friends along our path drop by for extra stories. He regaled us with stories of sites we passed and tolerated our constant banter and laughter. Thank you Overland, especially Cathill, for all the “craic”.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are delighted that you and your friends were able to relax, enjoy the magic of Ireland and leave all the driving and planning to us.
It certainly sounds like you had plenty of craic along the way! Cathal will be delighted with your kind words. His stories, local knowledge and the people he introduces our guests to along the way are all part of what makes travelling with a local guide so special.
Thank you for choosing Overland Tours for your Irish adventure. Hopefully we can welcome you and your friends back for plenty more craic in one of our other destinations in the future.
Warm regards,
Karina & the Overland Team.

Ireland magic
A fantastic experience with a great balance of interesting and fun adventures. The agenda was a perfect mix of visits to the must-see sites with outdoorsy activities like hiking, biking, and cayaking. Our driver Cathal was outstanding, he astutely tuned in to our group’s vibe and tailored each days events to our max enjoyment. He truly made the vacation the best it could be and I would ask for him by name next time. Which will be soon!
Operator response
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review. We are delighted to hear you loved the mix of must see sights and outdoor adventures along the way, that balance is exactly what we hope our guests will experience.
Your words about Cathal are wonderful to read. He has a real talent for getting to know his group and making each trip feel personal.
We especially love hearing that there will be a “next time” soon! We would be only too delighted to welcome you back for another Overland adventure.
Warm regards,
Karina & all at Overland Tours.
