Each person is allowed one "check-in," and one "carry-on." Remember to take all valuables with you as "carry-on", because electronic equipment, cameras, laptops, jewelry, business documents and money are not covered by the airlines' liability, so always carry them aboard with you.

Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?

Airfare from your point of origin to and from the trip is not included in the land price.

The trip was great The hotels were nice but one was pretty far from city center

First of All, thank you to our Agent, Dana Wood. She navigated through a cancelled trip due to Covid and yet another cancelled trip, due to circumstances beyond their control. We finally got to take our family trip to Ireland and it was the greatest experience and worth the wait. First class accommodations, comfortable coach and tour guide (Lesley, Outstanding), amazing food and great travel companions. Who would believe we had 7 days of sunshine in Ireland! We Did! Next time I (we) travel I will look to Affordable Tours / Cie Tours. Truly a great experience.
