Self-Drive Vacations
Renting a car and traveling around Ireland is a very popular way to enjoy this country. You can either opt to pre-book accomodations, or utilize the flexibility of a voucher bed & breakfast program (or combine both methods). At Expert Family Travel, we will assist you in planning your independent itinerary. We suggest that you limit yourself to one region for a short stay, and up to two regions for 8 day stays. If you'd like to leave the driving to someone else, chauffered custom itineraries are also available.

Independent package options also include golf vacations and soft adventure vacations.

Escorted Motor Coach Tours
The easiest way to see Ireland is by traveling via an escorted motor coach tour. Accomodations and itineraries are pre-arranged, and some meals are included. You will probably be able to do and see more with an escorted tour. Because of the inclusions, this type travel is generally the best overall value.

Globus offers tours in Ireland from 8 to 26 days, and some are combined with tours in Britain. If you're on a budget, but you don't want to compromise on quality, a Cosmos package, from 9 to 25 days, might be just right for you. Ask us for details.

We also offer unique tours from Sceptre Ireland, including Pub Tours, Castle Tours, and Murder & Mystery Tours.

Accomodations
Ireland offers a great variety of accomodation choices, including conventional hotels, quaint bed & breakfasts, manor houses and inns, condos, and even overnite castle stays. There are also accomodations to meet most budgets, from efficient & tidy to extravagant & luxury.

Consider a mix and match custom itinerary, perhaps adding a nite or two in a castle to make your trip completely memorable.

We can arrange your custom itinerary as you need, whether you're looking for a short city stay in Dublin, or an extended stay venturing throughout the countryside. We are also able to arrange group travel to Ireland for groups of 10 to 100 or more. Special interest groups, such as heritage or garden tours, are no problem.
