The reservations, car rental, and hotel reservations all worked well, with no issues. The additional tickets to attractions also worked well. We really enjoyed our time there and would love to go back one day. The value for the trip was great. Now, on the not-so-great side was that two of the 5 hotels were far off course from the route we wanted to take and were not in synch with the attractions we purchased as an add on. Celtic Ross and Ocean Sands hotels were a bit far removed from our preferred route that we would have liked to have taken and not feel rushed. These two hotels, although nice, were nowhere near any of the attractions and cities we wanted to see (Cork and Galway), but we were forced to adjust our scheduled to hit the attractions and make it to the hotels. This made for a couple of days where we had to drive great distances ,in the rain and in rural Ireland, to make it to the hotels. We made friends from a couple from PA that made the same exact trip to Ireland with GVV and they were unable to see the Cliffs of Moher attraction because they just didn't feel like they could make it due to the extended drive ranges. I called in to GVV home office before we left USA to see if I could adjust the hotel arrangements to make the tour more enjoyable but was immediately told that I could make no adjustments to the itinerary. Hotels in Kilkenny and Limerick were both awesome and right in the heart of the city and easy to get to. The last hotel in Swords was nice because it was close to the airport for final trip back to the airport. So, to make this Ireland trip more enjoyable, the hotels need to be closer to the attraction packages you guys sell so as not force a huge amount of driving to see them and make it to the next hotel. Overall, we loved the Ireland trip. I am surprised they let us Americans jump in a car rental and drive on their opposite side of the roads (left). PS; Wild Kerry Tours did an awesome job as well, but the start point of the tour was a little challenging to find in Killarney.

The customer service was horrible. I sent multiple emails, called multiple times and maybe got a response once. Outside of that my trip was good.

Excellent booking, poor quality hotels

Excellent flights to and from Dublin. Some issues with obtaining car insurance at the rental agency (it is required to purchase extra before they release the car to you). Only one out of the 4 hotels was a true 4 star hotel. The rest were closer to 2-2.5.

This was our first time in Ireland. We loved the accommodations and everything about Ireland. The itinerary and experiences were exceptional. Our only comment is that there was a lot of driving to the sites and locations. We would definitely recommend the 12 day. We were unable to see some recommended sites because we had to backtrack. We will be booking another vacation through Great Value.
