Discovering Ireland Vacations

"Experience Ireland with Ease"
We enjoyed a wonderful travel experience booked through the Irish Tourism Board. Easy to do and without hiccups. They arranged the schedule, accommodations, rental car for self-driving, along with routing options for the spectacular sights we would see. Accommodations included a range of B&Bs, Inns, hotels and even a castle-hotel; all were centrally-located in key towns or tourist areas. Highly recommend engaging the expertise of Maria Lieb with Irish Tourism.

"Wonderful tour of Ireland"
We booked a 12 day tour of Ireland. Our agent, Maria, was very patient, flexible and helpful as we decided where exactly we wanted to go. She provided useful information about the areas we traveled to and through. Our accommodations, a combination of B&Bs and hotels, were perfect. All were within walking distance of dining and shopping areas. We highly recommend Discovering Ireland Vacations.

"10-day Ireland train trip"
I chose an independent 10-day train trip because it provided a nice mix of reserved train tickets and hotels and a few day tours, but left enough time in the schedule to do things on my own that were of interest. The first 2 days were a little rough: the driver contracted to pick me up at the airport and get me to the train station was very late and so we arrived at the train less than 5 minutes before it departed; the first day tour was not in place as I expected because it turns out the bus tour wasn't available that day- but I just independently arranged to get to the site using public transportation. The company was very nice in refunding a portion of the trip costs because of the tour schedule mishap. The rest of the trip was very nice. The hotels were always convenient to the train stations so I could easily walk to them and they were modern and nice. The other day tours worked out very well. I didn't find many options while researching trips that provided some structure but also enough time to do your own thing- and I think that part of this trip worked very well; they seem to have good itineraries for travelers like me.

"Ireland"
Our group of 4 (2 couples) were looking at a trip to Ireland. None of us wanted to drive and miss the beautiful scenery so we booked a Rail Tour for 12 days with Discovering Ireland Vacations. All our accommodations, rail tickets and a few tours were booked for us. This turned out to be the best for our group. Everything went as planned, the hotel accommodations were perfect in location and comfort. I would highly recommend booking your trip this way. The staff were extremely helpful and responses were quick. Ireland turned out to be what we expected and so much more.

"An Excellent Plan for Two Weeks in Ireland"
We had planned this trip to Ireland 2 years ago and had to cancel because of Covid. Stephanie Guina was terrific being patient, considerate and knowledgeable throughout the delays and the re-booking process. Each hotel she booked for us was perfect having excellent facilities and restaurants when available. The car rental from Hertz was just right for accommodating 4 riders and luggage.
Everyone was extremely happy with the 2 weeks in Ireland planned by Stephanie.
Thank you.

Maria and the team were fantastic setting up our self-drive tour. It is a relaxing, flexible way to travel, with everything we needed arranged perfectly.

"Fabulous Ireland Adventure with Discovering Ireland Vacations"
My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Ireland booked through Discovering Ireland Vacations. The entire experience was extremely well done! From the initial contact with our host, Maria Lieb to the final days in Ireland we couldn't have been more satisfied. Maria was responsive, knowledgeable, accommodating and easily reached for questions. This was our first visit to Ireland and so we relied heavily on her recommendations and itinerary outline. She used our 'must sees' and incorporated many other excellent suggestions to help make our trip a wonderful experience. The entire trip went off without a hitch. Accomodations were excellent! All of our overnight stays were in wonderful hotels and castles. We really can't say enough about the trip and our experience with Maria and Discovering Ireland Vacations. We highly recommend them and will choose them again for our next visit.

"Fantastic Service"
We booked this trip as a professional couple in their mid 30s. The appeal of Discovering Ireland for us was having someone plan the major things (car, hotels, general itinerary (i.e. how much time to spend in each city)) while we still had the freedom to travel independently and tailor our specific day-to-day itinerary. We highly recommend! Maria was prompt with providing us information, and all of the bookings were spot on. We paid extra to stay in all hotels, and almost all of our hotels were in large, upgraded rooms. We spent 8 nights traveling throughout Ireland, and while we wish we had more time, we saw SO much of this beautiful country. We highly recommend to everyone to book the night in Ballyseede castle if possible--definitely a highlight of the trip!

"Maria was a tremendous help"
Maria was a tremendous help as first-time visitors to Ireland. She helped us reserve our rooms, days at each stop and our car. She was also very responsive if we had questions.

"Excellent worry free Ireland tour experience"
The entire trip and experience was excellent. Having all the accommodations booked and pre-paid ahead of time worked out great. We showed up at each location and everything was waiting for us speeding up the process with no additional work on our part. The Customized Tour of Ireland document you provided us was a very valuable source of information detailing what to see, the various routes and the restaurant and pub recommendations. We used this every day to decide where to go, what to see and where to dine. Every aspect of the trip worked out perfectly!
