Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
We were very pleased with our accommodations during our stay in Ireland. Everyone on staff at the Dunraven hotel in Adare was friendly and helpful. The hotel is a lovely old building that has large updated rooms and several public spaces, as well as a beautiful garden. Our driver/tour guide was an outstanding driver and was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the areas we visited. I would have liked more time in Dublin, so I think an extra day added to the trip would be an improvement. The trip to Moriarty's was something that I could do without.
CIE staff. Tour guide, bus driver were all excellent.I would highly recommend them, My only issue was regarding my lack of a transfer back to the Dublin Airport. I should have at least received a partial rebate since it was included in the original description,
