The trip is truly enjoyable! Though short as it was, we managed to see the highlights of Ireland. The Aran Islands is not to be missed! If anyone is thinking of travelling in small groups, go for Intrepid!

Our fast-paced tour of Northern and Southern Ireland offered experience of a variety of places from small towns to cities and the journey in between. Live music, amazing people and scenery were among my trip highlights. Our leader Shane's knowledge, care and flexibility in a small group made this experience a memorable one!

Our tour of Ireland was really great! Our tour leader Steph was fantastic, very knowledgeable, organized and fun! This Intrepid trip was honestly better than I was expecting. Definite recommend

Very well organized, busy trip. We got to see so much more than is listed and learned a lot about Irish history. Nick was a great leader and so much fun!

This trip was very enjoyable primarily due to our tour guide and the people we met along the way. This tour is good for those looking for physical activity (a lot of walking, inclines and steps). If you're looking for a turnkey trip, this isn't for you.

I have done around 10 trips with Intrepid and have never been disappointed. The safety of the group is a great consideration and have experienced no issues within the differing make up and age of the members. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the world from a local perspective to travel with Intrepid.

The tickling was definitely a standout experience.

The best bit about my trip was the tickling.

It was a great week where you saw fantastic sights, wonderful live music and met great people!

Great trip with awesome features and guides/leaders. We were busy seeing all we could in a short amount of time but also had some down time. I recommend this trip!!

The tour through Ireland was a great introduction and crash course into the history of the country as well as a fast paced way to see the key attractions. Our guide was stupendous and the local drivers and guides incredibly friendly. For this trip, be prepared to walk about 5 mi. a day, frequent pubs with local fare, and have unpredictable weather - which is navigable with comfy shoes, a waterproof jacket, and a hearty interest in Irish food or ale. This was my first trip with intrepid and I look forward to more in the future.

A short but wonderful trip that gives you an opportunity to take in the natural beauty of Ireland at a relaxed pace. Take lots of layers - even in summer - and be sure to check out as many pubs as you can. They’re the real cultural gems of this country.

The trip was all I dreamt it was going to be. Great local food, amazing sights, learning the history of Ireland and listening to locals experiences was amazing and I would love to go again!

Our trip leader, Theresa, was wonderful - friendly, organised, approachable, extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for some members of our group when hiccups happened. The tour itself brings you to wonderful places. The Giant's Causeway was spectacular. It was the one time where we had the option of a hike that required physical fitness. The sheepdog demonstration was definitely a highlight! We all loved it. We saw charming little villages and learned a lot from Theresa and our local tour guides. We also had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The Irish are definitely a friendly lot! Only comment I have is that I don't feel like this should be a 2/5 physical rating. I went on the Western US National Parks Loop trip, which is (accurately) rated 2/5, but this N. Ireland and Ireland trip should be a 1/5.

I was underwhelmed with this trip, to be honest. The country is stunning and the towns we went to were a perfect overview of the country. But unfortunately, Intrepid sent us a guide who had never been to Ireland. We didn't have the local perspective like I wish we would have. The price for what was included was also crazy high. If you do this trip, I recommend pairing it with the Kilkenny and Surrounds tour.

This trip is a lot of fun. It's fast paced and so much is packed in! Great for people with limited vacation time who still want to see it all. I definitely recommend this trip :)

This is an excellent trip as an Introduction to Ireland. As I'd traveled from North America I was very pleased to have booked 3 days in Belfast before the trip and 3 days in Dublin at the end.

This trip is very fast. You see a lot of stuff packed in and it was exhausting, but wonderful. If you want to see a lot of Ireland and get a feel for what Ireland is all about, this is a great trip to take!

My first experience of green, green Ireland and its magnificent coastline, charming villages … from ancient history to contemporary urban culture in Dublin. Group leader Mathew (Matty) was terrific … his tips and timing were spot on, and his people skills and good humour a real bonus.
