"From the urban streets of Dublin and Belfast to the rugged Sliabh Liag Cliffs and Aran Islands, Stuart custom-designed a fascinating tour of Northern Ireland that kept our group enthralled for the entire ten-day experience. Moving at a very comfortable pace, our days were filled with breathtaking scenery, exploration of the countryside which included small villages, castles and gardens, and a haunting tour of the the National Famine Museum. In addition, we enjoyed interesting city tours of Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, and Galway. The planning and execution of each day's schedule was meticulous, yet we had opportunities for spontaneous adventures like an unscheduled stop at Nancy's Bar, (sadly, no relation!), where we all had Irish coffee. Throughout our travels, we learned extensively about the history, culture, and politics of the area. In every way, Stuart provided a memorable adventure that reflected his love of his native land."

" My wife and I joined a group of friends on a tour of Ireland with Stuart of Real Irish Tours. I can honestly say that this was the best organized and most enjoyable tour that we have ever taken. Stuart had everything superbly organized and his knowledge of Irish geography and history made the experience quite special. His tours are small so that everyone on tour gets to know everyone else. I can also say that the accommodations and food on the trip were well above expectation. We really hope to take additional tours with Stuart as soon as this virus is behind us. We recommend Stuart and Real Irish Tours without hesitation."

"We recently had one of the best travel experiences of our lives, on the East to West Ireland trip. Expectations met: sense of security and ease with a seasoned coach driver; all details taken care of by Stuart and Gary (tickets, meal reservations, luggage handling, thoughtful restroom stops, etc.) and carefully chosen sites to visit and learn about Irish history and culture. Expectations that were far far exceeded: the warmth and camaraderie quickly formed within a lovely group of people, created and encouraged by Stuart & Gary; the beautiful accommodations, usually within walking distance of many shops, pubs & restaurants; the reasonable daily expectations of activities rather than trying to see too much in a short time; the mix of castles, gardens, museums, urban areas, and incredible outdoor adventures - a great combination for indoor/outdoor experiences; the coach that allowed for a little elbow room and such pleasant drives; and just the right amount of free time for us to explore each city as we wished. We cannot recommend travel with Real Irish highly enough. It was magic."
