In travellers' own words
“First off, the small group size was a treat. It really helped that all 13 of us bonded well by the end of day one. Of course we hit up all the great sites to see, but the best by”
“We did the Ultimate ten-day trip around Ireland with Conor as our guide and driver, and everything was exceptional. First of all, I’m a nervous”
“I’m very happy that we picked Overland for our Ireland trip. It was a great tour jam packed with history, beautiful scenery and memorable adventures. Our tour guide, Hugh O Reilly, had so much knowledge of the country to share and took very good care of us. I think we definitely got the best of Irel”
“Our tour with our tour guide Hugh O’Rielly was really quite outstanding. Being the first tour of the season it turned out that we were the only ones on the tour so we had an absolutely wonderful tour”
