Our 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.

Linda 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.

Amazing and flawless! In short, our trip was nothing but AMAZING!!! After each adventure/city/tour we would say to each other "Man, Maria really knocked it out of the park!!" The details and thought Maria put into each city we stayed in, did not go unnoticed! The hotels were close to every train station, the times were so well coordinated, the tour guides were some of the most knowledgeable we have every experienced, and the communication leading up to the trip was perfect for first time visitors. Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!

You can trust Discovering Ireland Vacations! Greetings, This was our second time booking with this company. Maria Lieb was our booking agent for both trips. Both were self drive vacations, one for Ireland and the other for Northern Ireland that were both worry free and outstanding. She also booked hotel reservations for our follow on trip to Scotland. Maria's professionalism is unequaled!! She scheduled B & Bs, car, insurance and also excursions. Thanks Maria, you are the BEST!

We had a great time We had a great time . The trip was well organised and followed what we wanted to do .The car pick up and drop off was easy . Our car came with a Navigator which made our trips much easier although it did insist on taking us off main roads and down some very narrow lanes that were very picturesque but a bit scary if we met another vehicle . Our B and B’s were very comfortable and well located . Breakfasts were a highlight . From freshly made scones in Killarney to homemade soda bread in Galway and of course the black pudding everywhere , we were able to have a substantial start to each day. All of our hosts were helpful and enjoyed a chat ! We would have no hesitation in recommending Irishtourism to friends and fellow travellers
