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.

CAOur B&B's were great Our B&B's were great. The trip was planned so we did not spend our driving days on the road too long. We stayed across the street from a Castle, in an amazing Castle, 2 residential homes coverted to a B&B a short walk from the town center and a couple of hotels. The food and hospitality were great in every location. Many thanks, Maria, for helping us plan our driving holiday.

SEWe 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

GBAll our accommodations were great! All our accommodations were great! We were never disappointed with were we stayed. If we did this trip again we would choose to stay two nights in most places instead of one night. It was a little exhausting moving to a new destination and sightseeing everyday.

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.
