Beautiful, modern and spotless hotel in Dublin on the River Liffey directly across from Temple Bar. Walk across the foot bridge into the Temple Bar area. Not far from Trinity College either.

Gorgeous restaurant with great food and drinks. We sat upstairs looking down on the beautiful bar and stage where we were lucky enough to hear an incredible Irish band and see Irish dancing. Wonderful!

Nice restaurant across from Dingle Bay. Excellent food that won't break the bank! We made reservations for lunch to sit upstairs by a window that overlooked the bay. There were 8 of us and we all loved it!

Excellent Italian restaurant in Salthill, County Galway. We ate here before our show at Trad on the Prom. It's not cheap but not crazy expensive. You could spend a ton but you don't have to. Good for vegetarians and vegans too. Wonderful night!

Words can't express how incredible this company is! We used them for our entire trip except for in Dingle because they aren't near there to drive us daily into town. We did the Ring of Kerry with them, airport pickup, other tours. They drove us f...

Incredible piece of Irish history! The oldest bar in Ireland and there's no doubt about it when you walk in. A piece of the original wall is there behind glass and it's a humbling experience to stand where so many had stood over 1,000 years ago. As...
