Great Trip, even greater value!
This is my 4th trip with Expat, now Travel Chasers, and I cannot recommend them enough! They guide you through every city while giving you the time and space to do what you want. They also take care of things that would take you time and energy to do yourself such as booking hotels and planning certain meals. You get to see so much of the country/countries you are visiting and just get to go with the flow!

April 2026 - Ireland/Northern Ireland with Inga and Sean. Like all of the other Expat Tours that I've taken, this one, my 5th, again exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was fantastic. We saw so many places with ample time at each spot. Our guide, Inga, was very knowledgeable about Irish history and told interesting stories (some to be taken with a grain of salt) about the places we visited. She also sings beautifully and treated us to a few songs, some serious and some amusing, along the way. Our driver, Sean, was amazing in his ability to maneuver the huge bus around the narrow and windy roads of Ireland. I felt very safe the entire way. Some tours are included and others are optional. This is good because it allows travelers to explore a city on their own, if they prefer. I booked every optional tour that was offered on this trip and I felt that they were well worth the cost. I was very, very happy that I did and I fully enjoyed each one. For the most part, the pe

My husband and i had a great experience we really enjoyed the tour and the beauty of Ireland. Our tour leader Gerry was very informative and very helpful he made the tour very enjoyable. Our driver CJ was the best you can have making our trip safe and worry free.

The Irish Explorer gave us an amazing look at Ireland, stopping at numerous cities, learning a considerable amount of history and current events going on, and meeting wonderful people along the way. This is our 3rd time using Expat, and we couldn't be happier with this experience. We really enjoyed Belfast and the Titanic museum (a must do), the Giant's Causeway, Derry, The Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle, the Irish Sheep dogs, Dublin, the beautiful green countryside, and the great food and pubs. This tour is the perfect amount of time to get a great overview of a beautiful country rich in history with more scenic landscape than we imagined. Thanks again for a wonderful experience! We will be back for a 4th adventure in the near future!

It was a fast pace action packed Expat tour. We were blessed with wonderful weather. Our tour leader and bus driver operated like a well oiled machine.We were a really nice group of tour members and all went almost too smooth.
Whimsical Wanderer

From quaint small towns, to bustling big cities, and hidden gems on an off-beat path, you see it all! Our tour guide and coach driver were amazing. Enda guided us through what seemed like impossibly narrow streets, while Luke kept us entertained with memorable stories of Ireland's history and folklore. I have not been on many tours but I know this experience is going to be hard to beat. Luke and Enda have set the bar high.
BronS

This tour gave us such a lovely quick view of all of the highlights of Ireland. Our tour leader Luke was just the best, full of knowledge and enthusiasm and our driver Karl was amazing at getting the coach through some tight spots. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to explore Ireland.
Dani

This trip was worth every penny! We ended up doing every optional but one, and they were all very fun. You get a paper every day with an itinerary so you know what youre doing and how long for each viewing/stop. The trip feels like a bit of a whirlwind, but in a good way. Our tour guide Luke was personable and had lots of great historical and current information about each area. If you're interested in seeing as much of Ireland as possible I would highly recommend this tour.
Trisha

I booked this tour as my first solo adventure and all I can say is wow! It exceeded all my expectations. The sights were beautiful. All the stops and hotels were well planned out so we made the most of each day. It was a great trip, stress free and always felt safe!
Dee

I'm Irish and went on this trip with 3 other friends ! Everything was so good ! Sometimes the food wasn't the best but other than that no complaints ! The Tour Guide was such a nice man so interesting and perfect for the job in so many ways ! Our Driver was the best lovely driving and nice interesting man giving us lots of info too about the places of interest ! I highly recommend this trip to anyone young or old as the support is there for you.

Overall it was an incredible tour. Diarmaid was awesome. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about this amazing country.
Bre

The tour was a once and a life time from start to finish. From one incredible stop after another. There was no lacking in Irish beauty, Irish coffee, and Irish castles. Our tour leader flooded us with Irish history and folklore. Always ready to accommodate each passenger within reason. His graciousness for my health limitations were so kind. He shared stores of himself which made me and my family comfortable with him quiet quickly. Our driver Peter was calm, hilarious and so professional. What a good spirited man. I would never have had the strength or energy to plan and continue a trip like this on my own. Once again Expat you have outdone yourself from begging to end.

We had a wonderful tour. It was our first time to Ireland and our first expat tour and we loved it!

Optional Experiences happen during your tour's free-time slots, and your Tour Leader will tell you about what's on offer during the tour.
