Of course having the right tour leader and a wonderful group of people from around the world, certainly helps one to have a great time. And our driver, with excellent skills, navigated the entire group with precision and timeliness.

Wonderful Tour Leader with Bernard Duff & very skilled driver “Paddy”! All passengers were treated kindly & with respect. Timelines each day were clearly communicated and points of interest pointed out in advance including washroom breaks & photo stops! The hotels were fine throughout the trip. This was our 3rd Backroads trip and we anticipate a 4th and 5th in 2026.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our guide Peter and driver Paddy made a great team. Peter's wea!th of knowledge, storytelling and ability to keep us entertained was amazing. We stayed in beautiful old hotels with first rate amenities and wonderful breakfast each morning. So much history was brought to life for us! Can't wait to try another tour with Blue-Roads.

A wonderful set of experiences seeing the natural beauty of Ireland, of learning of Irish history (both happy and sad), very comfortable hotels each night, and an evening watching the Irish dance performance Celtic Steps. Our guide Bernard was a wealth of information. Our driver Paddy gave us a comfortable and safe ride; I would trust my grandchildren to ride with him. I'd give this my highest recommendation!

The Corners of Ireland Tour was excellent. We saw so many beautiful sites and the had other adventures like Molly McGalvins working farm and sheep herding dogs demonstrates. We stayed in top tier hotels and felt spoiled by the staff. We were especially lucky to have Bernard Duff as our tour leader. He was so organized, diligent, informative, and most of all kind. He along with our bus driver Paddy made sure we were well taken care of and entertained at the same time. They helped to create a real sense of family among the travels. I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was very friendly, courteous, and attentive to the needs of all members of the tour. He provided much information about Ireland such as history, culture, natural settings, etc. He made the tour fun and helped us all connect with each other in a wonderful way.

Our guide, Bernard was really terrific. He very knowledgable and also very amusing and kind. John our driver was competent and also very kind. They made a good team. The locations chosen were all interesting, the hotels of a very good standard and the whole tour was very efficiently organized.

We will certainly recommend Blue Roads Tours to our friends.

Jeanne and I were looking for a tour that would give us a real insight into our Irish heritage.
We found that Blue Roads, Back Roads Southern Ireland Tour delivered on that promise.
The hotels, breakfasts, and the three dinners were all very delicious and the staff in these facilities were all very welcoming and professional.
The hidden gem on this tour is Bernard who is a first-class tour guide and John our driver who both exemplifies the Irish Hospitality Personality.

My husband and I took the Corners of Southern Island tour in mid-May. I had visited Ireland twice before but it was my husband's first visit. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide, Bernard Duff, was incredibly versed in Irish history which he shared with us each morning. In addition to this, his personality and demeanor were so welcome and warming that he kept us laughing much of the time. Most of the sites on the tour were new to me, and there were several times when Bernard decided to make an unscheduled stop. Most impressive was our stop at the Cliffs of Kerry. This came the day after our visit to the Cliffs of Moher and the Cliffs of Kerry were, to me, even more impressive than the Cliffs of Moher.

We covered a LOT of territory on this trip. I am grateful, too, to Dan Brennan who was our driver. He exhibited impressive skills and patience during the trip.

All of our accommodations were lovely, especially the Cahernane in Killarney and Faithlegg in Kilkenny...truly 5 star properties.

While our time at each stop was fairly limited, for those seeking an overview of central and southern Ireland this is a great tour.

Third trip with this company. All excellent.
Great driver and guide. Bernard built a lovely little community out of our group. Wonderful hotels, food and locales.

Amazing tour. Maura and Paddy were amazing guides and driver. I would recommend to anyone.

I love blue roads tours. This has been my 3rd one and I’m not disappointed. It’s so well organized, the guides and drivers are amazing, and I love all the locations they take us. I also love the hotels we stay in.

THE TOUR GUIDE AND DRIVER WERE AMAZING AND ALL THE HOTELS WERE LOVELY...WE HAD A GREAT TIME

Thoroughly enjoyed the small group size of the tour. We got to know everyone. The flexibility of the tour allowed for some impromptu stops and extra time for places of interest. Our guide was very knowledgeable and since she was brought up in the area was able to bring a personal experience perspective. The hotels we stayed at were fabulous, some quaint and some luxurious!

I just reviewed the tour.

We felt like we sure had a wonderful experience for the cost of the trip. Not too expensive and so professionally done,=.

Very well run tour, good itinerary.

Long days driving on the bus for hours and hours wish we had more time to explore the towns we visited. We always arrived at our hotel near dinner time. Which little time for exploring.

I think we got our money's worth with this service.

Especially liked touring the National Stud farm and Japanese Gardens. Even the food was good!
