Chris, our Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant, was very responsive to every email that I sent and answered any questions that I had. We had 4 in our group and it was simple to have 2 single rooms and 1 double and add days at the beginning and the end of our trip just from their website. A welcome package was waiting for us at our first hotel that included detailed information about our trip and a map with highlighted roads and points of interest along the way. Our accommodation ranged from small boutique hotels to resort hotels. Each was close to the city centre and excellent! Breakfast was included each morning which made it easy to get going. It was nice to have our accommodation and car secured for us so we only worried about where we were going to explore each day! We highly recommend Nordic Visitor and will definitely use them in the future!

Our tour was the "Grand Tour of Ireland" which Nordic Visitor customised for us to include additional nights in places such as Achill Island (our favorite spot!). The highlighted map and other travel materials we received from Nordic Visitor were extremely helpful. Overall we had a wonderful tour!

Ireland is made up of two countries. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, along with England, Scotland and Wales. The rest of Ireland is called the Republic of Ireland, which is independent of the United Kingdom.

Famed for its beautiful landscapes and vibrant cities, Ireland regularly graces the pages of magazines like National GeographicConde Nast Traveler and Forbes as an unmissable destination. The vast sea views, lush rolling hills, and historic Irish castles and embattlements alone are great reasons to visit. 

Ireland is also well-known for its warm hospitality and was even named the friendliest country in the world by Lonely Planet, so you don’t ever have to worry about asking for directions.

The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro, while Northern Ireland (like the rest of the UK) uses the Great British Pound.

People in Ireland predominantly speak English, however, many citizens of the Republic of Ireland are bilingual and speak both English and Irish (Gaeilge).

For fun Irish phrases you could use on your trip, see our language guide.

We recommend that you visit between April and October as the weather is milder and the days longer, giving you more time to sightsee in better conditions. These months are an ideal time to bird watch, hike countryside routes, and explore the remains of Irish castles.

An amazing destination all year round, find out the best time to visit Ireland based on your interests and wish list attractions.

Whether you need a visa or not will depend on where you’re visiting from. If you’re coming from the USA, the UK, the EU/EEA or Singapore you will not need a visa to enter Ireland.

All of our Ireland tours are crafted using our first-hand experiences and expert knowledge. However, we appreciate that you may have particular areas and sights you want to visit, in which case we can certainly customise an itinerary for you.

Our self-drive Ireland tours are the most flexible packages, as itineraries can be extended and you can choose where you want to spend the most time.

You could also explore on a privately guided tour of Ireland. This way you'll have your guide's undivided attention. They'll not only take care of the driving, but will share their insider knowledge with you for a truly unforgettable travel experience. 

You can tailor your guided small group or privately escorted trip to Ireland by adding extra nights at the start or end of the guided portion of your trip. And choose from a range of optional activities that your dedicated travel consultant will add to your itinerary. 

Don't hesitate to contact us for more information. If there’s an activity or attraction you want adding to an itinerary, we'd be more than happy to do this for you.

We’d advise that you search and look over flights for pricing and timings, but hold off buying them until your tour has been confirmed by your dedicated travel consultant. Once your package is booked, you can then choose and purchase your flights.

Why? Once you’ve been introduced to your travel consultant, you’ll have all the information you need to make an informed choice on flights and timings. If you have any questions then you can always contact your consultant for advice.
