GBWe booked an 8 day self drive vacation… We booked an 8 day self drive vacation to the west side of Ireland. Maria Lieb did an excellent job arranging everything for our trip. From the time we picked up rental car, checked in to the various accommodations along the way, everything went smoothly. We visited Kinsale, Killarney, Galway area, and Doolin. Having a car and driving ourselves was perfect, if something looked interesting along the way, we'd just stop and explore. I would highly recommend discovering Ireland and Maria for setting up the perfect vacation.

GBOur 10 Night Irish Dream Vacation - April 2024 We found Discovering Ireland Vacations in early 2022 while doing research. After reading all their reviews we were ready to learn more. We scheduled the 7 nights Irish Romance self-driving tour. Maria Lieb, mariaATdiscoveringirelandDOTcom, managed our trip from start to finish. Ms. Lieb was very informative and knowledgeable. She provided us several options and recommendations. She was flexible with our schedule, taking payments, and making rental car arrangements. We trusted her in planning our dream vacation. Excellent communication! We would highly recommend our self-drive package. Very easy to follow directions and itinerary. Our dream vacation went extremely smooth with no issues. Our package included: Complete Irish Breakfast and Room upgrades with all hotels. We stayed 2 nights in the Cliff House, 3 nights in the Ballyseede Castle, and 2 nights in the Dromoland Castle. We received an extensive day to day customized travel guide with suggested driving and walking routes. An Automatic Rental vehicle thru Hertz. 1 5-course Gourmet dinner at the Cliff House. Gap of Dunloe Tour. Private Falconry session. Medieval Banquet at the Bunratty Castle. Aran Island Ferry round trip ticket. We squeezed in a visit to Blarney castle and explored on our own every chance we got. In addition to our travel package, we reserved 2 nights in Dublin before the trip and reserved 1 night in Dublin after our car return on the last day. We booked our flights separately - Round trip from IAD to Dublin. Without asking, Maria provided us a complementary Dublin travel guide which was great! She also arranged our rental car pickup and return at Dublin airport. We would highly recommend Maria and Discovering Ireland Vacations for your travel needs. You will not be disappointed.

CAVery highly recommended We thouroughly enjoyed our 8 day self-driving tour of Ireland organized through Irish Tourism. From our first contact with Stephanie in January, the service was second to none! Every hotel booking and car rental experience were worry-free and the chosen locations were fantastic. The april weather was so perfect that we think Stephanie may have had something to do with it!! I travelled extensively in my life and this is by far the best experience we've had! Thank you from the bottom of our heart. We shall return!

GBLinda Larkin was the agent who arranged… Linda Larkin was the agent who arranged our 2 week self drive trip around Ireland. She was very thorough and responded to my emails quickly. All of the arrangements that were made (car, hotels and B&B's, tickets to various venues, printed itinerary) were excellent and conveniently located. She could not have made this vacation any more enjoyable. Thank you, Linda.

GBAbsolutely magical We had the best experience with Discovering Ireland Vacations! Everything turned out beautifully because of the great planning that went into it beforehand. Maria was very accommodating, allowed us to make customization that made our honeymoon extra special, and was a joy to work with. We can't wait to go back to Ireland!
