My mom and I toured to the most Amazing Castles in Ireland that I've ever seen! (Even though it was my first time in Ireland and my first time seeing a real castle ) We had so much fun with our Amazing, Extraordinary, Fun, Passionate, Knowledgeable singing tour guide Adrian!!! We Love You!!! You're a Rockstar! (And he's apparently an actor in Braveheart as well! - Which according to my mom, we'll be watching to confirm ) And he's a lucky charm!! (It was forecasted 78% chance of rain and expected to be sooo busy but it was quite the opposite! Our tour took us to The Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle and Blarney Castle (where I got to kiss the Blarney Stone)! Each place was remarkably breathtaking and the history...astonishing and just to be in those places was so surreal knowing the history! I highly recommend Irish Day Tours! Adrian will take good care of you! He's the best and a blast! And the craic was soooo good! Thank you Adrian! Til the next time!

We took the Cliffs of Moher tour from Dublin. It was an early start and a long day but very worth it! We brought our 6 month old baby (they offered child seats for an additional 15 euro) and it made for a very special family trip. I can't remember the guides name unfortunately but we took the tour on 20/8. He was SO knowledgeable and had so many fun facts along with history to share along the trip. He drove safely and communicated the trips expectations/time to return to the bus very well. We loved the stops along the way, we didn't feel too rushed. It was nice that they had a pre-planned arrangement for lunch so that we didn't have to rush and panic in finding our own place (I've had this happen on other tours). They didn't have a bathroom on board but made sure to stop every 1-1.5 hours for snacks and breaks.

This was a great tour and Barry was a fantastic guide! The one thing I want to be clear about is the fact that these tours are made for two types of people/groups: (1) you love to do tours and be held to a tours time table as opposed to a dyi trip. (2) you are short on time I only wish we would have simply rented a car, drove to the cliffs, stayed the night in the little town neighboring the cliffs, and have control of our time. That is not the fault of the Tour company, that's just how we like to do things - we are DYI people, but we were short on time and tight on schedule. All in all it was a good time and we had the opportunity to see things we may not have seen otherwise. Explanation of stars: Barry, our guide was 5 stars. The bus was five stars. The scenery, 5 stars. The time schedule, 3 stars

We took the Irish Day Tour while in Ireland and did the Cliffs of Moher tour. It was fantastic!! Our guide, Gerald, was so nice and knowledgeable. It was an all day tour, from 6am-8pm and gave you a great view of many parts of Ireland. This is a must do while in Ireland.

We did the tour to Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle and Cahir Castle today. Our guide was on prompt. His name is Barry. He was super informative and funny too. I enjoyed my time on the bus. Everything was on time and he made sure to get us to our destinations on schedule. If you're in Dublin and want to see the sights, I would highly recommend this tour company.

Don't think a second about not booking with Extreme Iceland. You'll enjoy your tour! My boyfriend and I took the Giant's Causeway tour and loved it! We traveled mid-February. We were very lucky that our group was small (about 15 people) but even if it wasn't, I think it would've been a great tour still. The driver's ability to drive and be a tour guide was impressive and he had a great personality too. We laughed more than we ever thought we would, and we learned so many interesting facts, especially about the politics between Northern and Southern Ireland. Our stops included: quick breakfast at a Centura, The Dark Hedges, Carrick-a-Rede (rope bridge), quick lunch, Giant's Causeway, castle for photo op and Belfast. Our first stop was the Centura at a gas station just outside of Ireland for a quick 20min breakfast. It was a bit better than your typical gas station stopovers but not one that I'd refer to as a breakfast. I recommend you to bring your own food and eat it there at the tables in inside. Or eat before the tour. This stopover is in Britain as it's located in Northern Ireland so they take sterling pounds, not euros. Something we didn't realize. Thankfully we had both currencies with us as London was out next stop after Dublin. The Dark Hedges was pretty neat to see and walk down. Since we came in the winter, there weren't any leaves so it wasn't dark at all but still a beautiful sight. Our tour group as very respectful of other people's photos, careful not to get in the way and taking shots quickly to give others an opportunity. The Carrick-a-Rede was our first big stop with hiking. Since its located at the tip of Northern Ireland, along the Atlantic Ocean, it was very windy. The day that we went, the rope bridge was closed due to high winds and to be honest, we were glad that was the case because just walking towards to the bridge was a mission. The wind lifted me of my feet a couple of times! For the most part, the walk is doable. However there are points where it is steep going down and up and with the the strong winds, it's a bit scary. I am 5 months postop acl surgery and I wore my knee brace as it was a bit slippery going down steep/rocky hills. We stopped for lunch after at a local cafeteria style restaurant in a town nearby. Food ranges from £5-£12. The food that is served is home-style Irish food. Large portions and freshly made with local ingredients. I ordered a potato soup as it was the cheapest option but still filling enough to keep me energized for the rest of the tour. Around the corner was the Giants Causeway. It was awesome! You have two options to see it: walking it above or below, or taking a shuttle that cost £1 each way. We decided to w9alk it from the top down to the bottom. I would recommend this but it is tiring. The view makes it well worth it though. At 5 months postop, the brace came in really handy here. The walkway was slippery at times, the steps down to the volcanic rocks was very steep and overall it was very tiring for my knees. You are only given about 1.5 hrs here which I personally feel is a bit tight. If you do the hike, don't take too much time taking pictures at the top, otherwise you won't give yourself enough time for pictures down by the bottom. After the Causeway, we made a quick stopover at the castle for a photo op. Lastly, we got visited Belfast and got to walk around for about 2 hours. Highly recommend touring the Giants Causeway with Extreme Ireland. I'd also recommend wearing comfortable boots. Running shoes are doable but if it is rainy or the slightest dampness, it will be slippery with running shoes.

I went with my friend a few weeks ago to Dublin, Ireland on the vacation of a lifetime. I wanted to share my experience using Irish Day Tours - we went on the Blarney Castle tour and had the absolute best time. The bus itself is very spacious, and we had a fairly full bus of people from all over the world. We made several stops to see a few different castles (they did a great job spacing it out because you can only handle so many hours on a bus, especially if you have motion sickness like I do). Our tour guide (I wish I could remember his name!) was so great - he was funny, informative, and a great sport all around. Price wise - absolutely worth it. In fact, I didn't think it was overly expensive by any means for the type of tour that we got. I would recommend to anyone visiting Ireland.

We found out about Extreme Ireland from the Dublin Visitor Centre. We chose this tour from the others because the meeting point for each tour was on Suffolk street by the Molly Malone statue which was close to our hotel. Also, the meeting point is close to the 24 hour McDonalds on Grafton street so we were able to eat breakfast and use the restroom before we started the tour. We booked the Cliffs of Moher and the Giants Causeway tour. Since we booked two tours, we got a discount of 5 euros off per person. We love deals so we were all over that. To get the discount though we were not able to book the tour with the Dublin Visitor Center. Instead we had to book at the Extreme Ireland office located on the corner of Grafton street and College Green. The Cliffs of Moher tour started early. We had to meet at our meeting point by 650am and were advised to arrive 10 minutes early. This tour was so popular that they had to book two large tour buses to accommodate everyone. Every single seat on our bus was taken, including the front seat next to the driver. We were packed to the max but Mike, our driver, was super cool. He was very funny and made our very early morning less painful. He woke us up with his stories and sang songs to us to help pass the time away. But he also knew when quiet time was needed for us to take naps. Our first rest stop on this tour was Obama Plaza. It was a nice place to purchase some refreshments and use the restroom. We visited the Dark Hedges from Game of Thrones, had lunch at a hotel in Doolin and visited the Burren and Galway city. A great tour and well worth it. The Giant's Causeway tour also started early, earlier than the Cliffs of Moher tour. This tour started at 6:30am and again we were advised to arrive 10 minutes early. This tour wasn't as popular so there was some room on our bus to stretch out on. Nevertheless, this tour was just as great, if not better than Cliffs of Moher. I actually preferred this tour more because we visited Giant's Causeway which was super cool and the Carrick-A-Rede. Unfortunately the weather was too windy for us to actually walk across the Carrick-A-Rede but we got to take pictures next to it. Also, we got another discount of 5 euros off per person because the Carrick-A-Rede was closed on this day. We also went to Belfast and it was our first time in Northern Ireland. The black taxi tour was very informative. Sometimes it was difficult to understand our black taxi tour guide but he was very nice. John was our driver during the entire day and he was very nice and professional. He was soft spoken and knew when to stop talking to give us some time to nap. He also had awesome Irish music for our long journey. We are very happy we did both these tours with Extreme Ireland. They are well managed, very professional, and I definitely recommend them.

Great way to see the features and sights of Ireland. The bus was big and comfortable. Our guide/driver, Karl, was great. Funny, knowledgeable and courteous.

We did the cliffs of moher 12 hour bus trip with Gerald. We had a fantastic time! It was even better than I expected. We were in a small your bus and were able to stop in many small villages along the coast and really grasp the Irish culture and the picturesque landscape. Gerald was punctual and extremely knowledgable on the sites, history or Ireland and culture/language. I wasn't a huge fan of his selection of "tunes" but he didn't drone on with boring facts and kept his talking points concise and interesting.
