Reviews From Visitors Who Have Travelled With Us On Previous Tours - Ireland US Experience

You will never tire of the lively banter between our talented and considerate guides Alan, Pat and Morris. Ireland itself is an amazing and friendly place to explore. Making the experience even more fantastic was the service provided by our guides. They never ceased to amaze us with their humorous and enlightening historical accounts; we were well informed and jet lag nearly forgotten by the many laughs we shared.
Whether patiently waiting to pick us up at the airport after a 2 hour delay, finding the perfect sheep shot for our crazy companions, or just knowing when we needed a beverage break, these gents exceeded every expectation.
Travel can bring unexpected challenges (i.e. my cancelled flight) - I guarantee our hosts will not leave you stranded. Somehow the weather was beyond perfect, but I won't go so far as to credit them for 6 sunny days in a row. The only rainy day was the grave yard tour which almost seemed planned. After learning about centuries of appalling history and how the Irish never gave up hope, we were often in need of a good cheering up. Many thanks to our guides for a craic-ing good time!

The Trip of a Lifetime!

If you’re considering a trip to Ireland and want an experience that goes far beyond the typical tourist trail, stop searching and book with this tour company immediately! We just returned from a 10-day adventure across Ireland, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the bustling streets of Dublin to the windswept cliffs of the Wild Atlantic Way, every moment was expertly curated, deeply meaningful, and wonderfully Irish.

Our guides—Maurice, Pat, and Alan—were absolute legends. Each brought something unique to the journey:
•Maurice was our passionate historian and storyteller, with a deep love for Irish culture.
•Pat had a calm, thoughtful presence and always seemed to know the best hidden spots.
•Alan kept us laughing the whole time with his energy, charm, and quick wit.

The itinerary struck the perfect balance between must-see landmarks (Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle (yes, we kissed the Blarney stone!), Dublin, Galway, and more) and lesser-known gems we never would have found on our own. Every detail—from lodging to meals—was perfectly planned, and the pace allowed us to really soak in the beauty of Ireland.

We came as strangers and left feeling like family—with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for this amazing country. Massive thanks to Maurice, Pat, and Alan for making this journey so special.

Thank you, Maurice, Pat, and Alan—you gave us the trip of a lifetime. Sláinte! 🇮🇪🍀

Unforgettable Journey Through Ireland – Thanks to Pat, Alan, and Maurice!

Our tour through all of Ireland with Ireland US Experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we set off to the final heartfelt goodbye, every step of the journey was guided by the incredible trio of Pat, Alan, and Maurice—three of the kindest, most generous, and deeply knowledgeable guides we could have ever hoped for.

They didn’t just show us Ireland—they brought it to life. Whether we were standing on windswept cliffs, exploring ancient castles, strolling through charming towns, or listening to local legends in cozy pubs, our guides ensured we understood the rich tapestry of history and culture that makes Ireland so special. Their passion for their country is infectious, and their storytelling skills made every site meaningful and memorable.

Each day was perfectly curated, blending iconic landmarks with hidden gems only locals would know. Without Pat, Alan, and Maurice, I never could have seen all that Ireland has to offer—not just the sights, but the soul of the country. Their warmth and humor made us feel like part of a family, and their attention to every detail made the trip seamless.

This was more than just a tour—it was a deeply personal experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re thinking of discovering Ireland, do it with Ireland US Experience. With Pat, Alan, and Mauric

The best vacation we have ever taken. We had so much fun and learned a lot about Ireland at the same time. Pat, Allen, and Maurice were so entertaining and kind. They had us in hysterics laughing t their jokes and limericks those combined with the songs and Ireland information made the time fly by. They really go all out to make the trip fun for everyone. All of the attractions we visited were wonderful and the hotels we stayed at were exceptional. There is no way we could have had half of the fun and really experienced Ireland on our own. I was not sure about taking a group bus tour, but I could not be happier that we did. The guys were so entertaining bringing everyone together blending everyone into a family group. It was comfortable to explore an attraction on your own and/or with others in the group. The views from the bus were breath taking with the large windows to look out from. It was so nice that we did not have to concentrate on driving and could just enjoy the scenery. They took us to many beautiful locations to experience the varying topography of Ireland. I would recommend this company highly.

We were in Ireland for two weeks driven by Pat in a Land Cruiser. It was a private tour just for the two us. We started in Dublin then Belfast and we continued around the whole island staying near the shoreline. We stayed in five-star hotels and ate five-star meals. We stayed a couple of days in each major town. Pat gave us an education on the history of Ireland and its people and even taught us some popular Gaelic expressions. This was the best trip of our lives, and we would highly recommend Ireland US Experience. Alan put together a fabulous package customized just for us since it was our anniversary. We went to most of the major tourist attractions and some not so touristy. We did not feel rushed, and it was a relaxing tour enabling us to spend time in each area. The churches, cathedrals, castles, and cliffs were just breathtaking. The level of service and attention was phenomenal. Thank you, Pat, for an exceptional experience.

The best gift I ever gave myself.For years I have supported Honor flights for veterans organized by this company IRELAND US EXPERIANCE family owned by Irish family They sell 2000 tickets and someone can win a free luxury trip for 2 to Ireland.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Ireland US Experience. Not only did we receive a first-class service, but we also gained an in-depth education about the people, culture, and natural beauty of this incredible country. Pat, our guide, was absolutely fabulous and made our experience even more enjoyable and memorable. His knowledge and passion for Ireland truly enhanced our trip.
We highly recommend Ireland US Experience for anyone looking to embark on their own Ireland adventure. You won’t be disappointed!

Had a fantastic trip with Ireland US Experience. Pat, Alan and Maurice are terrific guides and now friends. The trip had the perfect mix of seeing historic sites and interesting attractions, along with downtime for socializing and fun. I look forward to returning someday to see more of Ireland.

This was such an amazing trip! This company is family owned and operated and when you travel with them, you feel like you are part of the family. I cant thank them enough for their hospitality, the many laughs, and late night stories and lessons. This group is incredible and i will be back to see more of Ireland with them

Our ten day 2024 tour of Ireland was outstanding from beginning to end! It was one superlative day followed by the next! Every stop on the tour was so memorable, it truly was the trip of a lifetime for many of us!! The coastal scenery was spectacular and the pubs and restaurants were lively and fun. As a Titanic buff, I was mesmerized by the tour of the Titanic Belfast Museum! Our tour guides, Alan, Pat and Maurice personalized the trip for us, treating us as friends from the moment we met! They wined and dined with us every day and were just so "down to earth"! All three guys were awesome!! I couldn't possibly recommend this tour more highly!!!

WOW, WOW and WOW. If you are considering a trip to Ireland, Irelandusexperience is the way to go. What an amazing trip organized and executed by an amazing group of men from Irelandusexperience. Going to Ireland was not on my bucket list. In order to support a worthy cause for Southwest Honor's flight, I purchased raffle tickets. Lo and behold, I was the grand prize winner in April of this year. From my first contact with Alan to our sad farewell at the airport, the experience provided by Alan, David, Pat and Maurice was incredible. Having won the trip and not ever traveling with a tour group, I had many questions. Alan initiated my positive experience with his timely answers to my questions. David continued that positivity with his assistance on booking our airfare and suggestions regarding seating. The communication from the time I won to the time we departed our plane in Ireland was excellent. Our bus driver, Maurice, not only provided us with everything we needed to know with each site we were visiting with his wealth of knowledge, he also entertained us with his humor. Alan, Pat and Maurice, always made sure we were all doing okay every step of the way. They treated us like family and they were so much fun. A trip of a lifetime that exceeding all expectations thanks to these men.

“There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met”. Well thanks to Ireland US Experience that quote rang true and we are now forever connected!
Alan, the planning wizard/owner helped create our once in a lifetime itinerary. His patience with us was remarkable and kind of unbelievable! 😜 We had SO many emails back and forth, from two different time zones! He is someone who genuinely cares for his customers and took time to answer all of our questions! We had so many relatives to visit and places to see, he made it all happen! Everything was perfect!
Maurice, our tour guide/driver extraordinaire, is witty, kind, humorous, patient and full of fun. He genuinely got to know us all, what we liked, and taught us about Hurling and celebrated with us as we tried to play, kept us safe, while laughing the whole time! His knowledge of the whole country and his “lay of the land” (with no GPS) was impressive! He is our family now!
At the airport, Pat, one of the owners greeted us and was so kind. Every step of the way, he checked in numerous times, to make sure it was all going well. He took genuine pride in making sure we (all 15 of us) had a great time
On our last night, all three of these amazing men came out to have a drink with us, and chat! We couldn’t have asked for a better company to work with to take us on our 10 day journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
From your grateful 15 UPSTATE New Yorkers

It was everything you ever thought it should be- and more! The itinerary included all the best places, and then Pat, Morris and Alan went the extra mike (or kilometer!). It was the people that made it above the ordinary, and I would go back in a heartbeat. 5 star accommodations, wonderful food, and such personalized service that you think you’re being pampered by professionals- but they are simply guides that know, love, and want to share THEIR Ireland!!

The entire team at Ireland US Experience are focused on making this a trip of a lifetime. Alan’s expertise made our flights and connections smooth and stress free. Pat’s flexibility and attention to detail ensured outstanding service at every stop. Maurice’s driving skill is only outdone by his knowledge and entertaining descriptions of the countryside, it’s history and it’s people. The hotel selection was outstanding and the choice of stops perfectly provided a doorway through which the real Ireland could be observed. Thank you all for an outstanding experience!

Wow!

The messages that precede ours are impossible to best, nor should I, they get right to heart of it. Pat, Allen, Maurice and anyone working in the background deserve a TOPFLIGHT thank you and JOB WELL DONE our new friends. Even today, as my wife and I re live the trip, something we will be doing for a long time to come, the post about Maurice being a walking history book couldn't have been said more eloquently, and the reason I won the home to Dublin quiz. The depth of the history of Ireland is way deeper than you realize. To all of you that book a trip with Ireland USA Experience "Slainte Mhaith (Good health)." This was truly a trip of a lifetime.

Where to start? Maurice and Pat planned and executed a fantastic 10 day trip around Ireland, filling our days with interesting facts and personal stories about their wonderful country. They gave us a taste of Ireland complete with Irish songs and words they shared when we were riding on the bus. This experience has made us wanting more on a return trip. The lovely towns, museums and the many monuments and amazing buildings dating back to 841AD were a sight to see! They took such good care of us, recommending places to eat and visit when we had free time. The hotels we stayed at were top notch and welcoming. The bus trip around Ireland could have been boring but Maurice, with his songs and jokes and facts made the time go quickly. Any little thing we needed Pat was right there to help us out. They are the Dynamic Duo. Of course, we wouldn't have arrived without Alan's superb travel arrangements for each of our 20 people from several different cities. We highly recommend booking a tour with Ireland US Experience. Quite the experience, it was! We won't go with anyone else but them.

This was an awesome trip. More than ever expected. The accommodations were top shelf and the trip very well planned out. I was able to see so many parts of Ireland that only the locals would know about. And traveling with locals like Pat, Alan and Maurice, was a super added bonus. We even learned about Irish Football and got to watch a game. Traveling with Maurice as tour guide was like a Frank Delany novel . He knows his history but tells it in story format which makes it so much more entertaining.
I would highly recommend that if you want to see Irland from the true insiders perspective, book with Ireland US Experience!

A Very, Very, Very, Very fantastic adventure (If you take a trip with them that will make sense). Our trip was well planned and the accommodations were excellent. The history lessons throughout were great and Belfast was especially interesting. Alan, Pat, Maurice and Michael from the company all took great care of us and were fun to travel with.

We will return to Ireland and certainly will look to Ireland US Experience for our next adventure there.

What a phenomenal trip June 2022. Patrick, Maurice and Alan were the best, you can tell they are experienced, but never once seemed bored. We laughed so hard our cheeks hurt on more than one occasion.

I loved everything about the trip, but especially learning the History, I remember the fighting in the 80s and 90s and am so glad we went to Belfast and learned that it wasn’t a Catholic Protestant issue which we were always told it was.

Seeing where the Titanic was built and later were it’s last stop was before sinking was quite an experience. The people of Ireland are so nice, the country is very clean, the history is fascinating and I can’t imagine anyone shows it better than these guys. Great hotels, a clean comfortable coach, and great guides.

Just returned from my trip to Ireland a few days ago. I must say, it was the time of my life! Dave, Pat and Alan are the best!! Oh and definitely can't forget Maurice, best driver ever! Learned so much about Ireland's history just from Maurice! He's like a walking (driving) history book! The land is so beautiful and the people were so polite! I came there with a knee injury, torn meniscus and they all helped me get around as best as possible. From the Titanic Experience and the Waterford Crystal facrory, beautiful castles and lots of pubs, Irish dancing this was sure an experience of a lifetime! Thank you!
