Great deal and great bargain! Thanks for an enjoyable adventure in Ireland!

The second hotel was terrible. It was in the middle of nowhere, room was very uncomfortable. The hotel had no atmosphere the other 2 hotels were nice but you definitely had to have a car.

I called and emailed a number of times with no response to my urgent questions that I needed to address prior to the trip. No one ever called/emailed back. I would never use this company again.

We have been completely satisfied both times we used Aer Lngus Vacation Store packages. We highly recommend this company!!

Trip Booked: Ireland 3-City Dublin, Cork, Galway (7 days) We had a wonderful trip however, we lost 2 days due to the weather in Ireland. (First blizzard since 1982) We were extremely shocked that we weren't permitted to have an extra day tacked on to end of our trip, even offered to pay for it and was denied. The first person we spoke to when our flight was cancelled was extremely rude. I wish I had gotten her name. She basically did everything she could to get us off the phone and out of her hair. The only reason the rating isn't lower is because of the second person we spoke to who found us a flight out of Miami the following day and who contacted the car rental company in Ireland, and went above and beyond to make sure the remainder of our trip was memorable. Once in Ireland, the hotels were clean, and well kept, the car rental was nice, and the experiences were memorable. We've fallen in love with the country and can't wait to go back. We feel cheated since we paid for a 7 day trip and only got a 5 day trip and had to cut out a lot of the site seeing we had planned because we just couldn't make it work. Feeling rushed was our overall sentiment, but we would book through Aer Lingus Vacation Store again, the weather is not something they could control. Give them a shot, and we hope you fall in love with the country as hard as we did! -The Ennis Family Orlando, FL USA

Trying to be fair - too much driving. Lodging adequate to nice but not elegant. Would much have preferred to stay in one spot several days to see more of what was to offer in those areas where we KNEW there were things to see. Last 2 night stay there wasn't even wifi that worked consistently so I could not connect with family. Even Edinburgh would have been fun 2 nights but the tour was sold as Highlands so I get it. Some places had little to nothing to do and we went out of season because we hate crowds so in my opinion places were understaffed and they even made mention of that fact. Waiters serving as porters and welcome people. I don't mind quiet and being on my own, in fact we love it hence going out of season but the Scots gave whole new meaning to frugal. We got scammed in Edinburgh by cabbies overcharging but some were lovely. Apparently different costs depending on which cabbie you get. Edinburgh parking impossible and construction abounds. Had to find car park because hotel had no parking and no one at hotel even mentioned we would get the horrific ticket we got first night in for parking across the street and we spoke with a policeman who was looking at our car. He never said a word. Signs 10 feet over our heads and we should have known better because we travel Europe but ticket dispenser was around the corner and not visible. I also think I got double charged for Hertz insurance because I felt sure I paid with vacation package (an extra $250+) but they said no, we needed more. "included" car ended costing additional over $500. $250 when package purchased an another $250 at desk in check in. Stirling castle and William Wallace monument worth the ride and cost. "Heritage Pass" which was "included" was only for summer and had expired despite our booking for winter months but the people at first stop remedied it and Rabbies tours were very accommodating in doing so. However if person at event on list had not pursued and contacted them directly we would have been left in the lurch.having to pay more. We knew Scotland was costly but I have buyers remorse. Hubby very much enjoyed distilleries and I did learn things so maybe it was a wash. If you don't fish/golf/drink scotch beware. Sight seeing would get an A however. As for the people, in all honesty I felt like many tolerated us. Most were accommodating with a smile but not really friendly or fun if that makes sense. All in all for the cost I would not do again. Scotland that is.

Struggled finding B&B's where we wanted to go, very disappointing!

Had a great time on the trip to Dublin, Castlebar, Limerick and Drogheda. The cities seemed random as they are not the typical spots to visit but they all had their own charm and brought us all over the country and close to many sites. Booking online was easy - able to add insurance and automatic car without issue.
