What our happy customers say!
Do not miss this experience!! Lifetime memories and new friends. No better way to enjoy the hidden places in the Wild Atlantic cities of Ireland. Get on bus, relax, learn all about Ireland and enjoy the five day tour. New city each day and the craft breweries are a once in a life time experience
James and Pam, FloridaMia made the time together so exciting and filled each day with so many great facts and “off the beaten path” stops. I felt we truly engaged in the rich Irish culture, the local residents who we were able to meet and talk with and the scenery was breathtaking. It was a brewery tour yes, but indeed that was only one aspect of the rich experience!
