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.

CAMaria Lieb From start to finish my experience with Maria was absolutely professional and positive. Maria asked all the right questions, was patient and accommodating when plans were changed. We chose to visit Galway, Dublin and Belfast and our hotels were top rate. The day trips to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Giant's Causeway was stunning. The booking for our trains from city to city was done for us by Maria and truly enjoyable. Lastly, I do plan on visiting again, this time the south/south west of Ireland and I know that I will work with Maria again. Thank you!!!!!

GBAmazing 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!

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.

GBWell organised and fun packed trip to Ireland We had a wonderful experience exploring Ireland. This was thanks to Niamh at Discovering Ireland. She listened to our requirements and put together an Itinery that was perfect for us. It was flexible, seamless and everything ran smoothly from picking up the hire car, booking into Hotels and advising on places to visit. Her advice and guidance on our week spent in Ireland was faultless and we had an amazing time. We hope to visit again and would definitely recommend and booking through them again.
