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.

A wonderful experience A wonderful experience. We took a 7 day self drive tour of southern Ireland. The directions, the hotels and the notes on the monuments and scenic stops were excellent. Highly recommend. Only advice would be to take incar fitted GPS especially if you intend to modify the set courses. Also take the 4 star hotel option. All were excellent with top rated breakfasts and handy locations

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.

I had a wonderful experience with… I had a wonderful experience with Discovering Ireland. I wanted an itinerary set up for me to help lower the stress of planning for a trip to a country I had never been to. And I got just that and more! Having the trip booked for me freed me up to enjoy the moment and experience as much as possible while I was there. Maria went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and the details were just right. I'd book again through Discovering Ireland and highly recommend them to friends/family.

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!
