I’m so happy to hear you found this helpful! I love keeping things real and sharing my honest experiences – I would want the same before traveling myself! I would highly recommend booking guided tours so you don’t have to deal with renting a car and driving in another country. I hope you have an amazing trip and feel free to reach out to me with any questions! Safe travels!

First of all, I love the way you write! The personal details(like the Apple Watch getting scratch) just makes it so real as to what little things could happen to you! I love how you set expectations by saying hey I took this bus tour but just know that lunch isn’t included. I didn’t know the buses had WiFi! That’s a huge plus, when traveling for hours on end. Thank you for being honest about how the Cliffs of Moher weren’t your favorite compared to the other tours like Giants Causeway, etc. There are lots of good pieces of advice and I’ll bet you guys were exhausted by the end of the trip! I thought about renting a car but maybe the bus system is better! I get nervous thinking about driving on the opposite side of the road! Can’t wait to follow along on more of your adventures!

Copenhagen is such a wonderful city too! I actually went to Copenhagen just a few months after my visit to Ireland! I hope you can make it to Dublin soon though!

I actually was thinking of going in November but I decided to go to Copenhagen instead! But Dublin is still on my bucket list.

It was definitely quite the adventure but totally doable! And, that’s so wonderful – thank you for sharing that 😊. I definitely hope you get the chance to visit one day and tell everyone that story!

Haha, it’s quite the struggle being directionally challenged, but we made the best of it! I hope you can visit soon and check out the Brazen Head while you’re there!

I’m impressed you did all this without a car! Dublin looks so nice in the summer. I’d definitely want to stop at The Brazen Head, as my husband and I met at one here in the states! Great post, saving for a future trip!

That’s crazy to think it’s still around. I also am not good with directions so I can sympathize there. I certainly have Ireland on our bucket list.

Oh how wonderful! I’m so happy to hear my very belated post came at a good time for you! All of these tours were wonderful, but I would definitely recommend the smaller group tour we did at the Ring of Kerry and then maybe finding some other small group options for Northern Ireland and the Cliffs of Moher (or even a private option if there are any!). The big buses full of people definitely weren’t our favorite either, but we got to see so much and still had such a blast. Remember to space out these day trips too if you can; they can become exhausting after a while just because of all the drive time and traveling. I hope you have an amazing visit to Ireland, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m always more than happy to help if I can 🙂.

Why thank you! Ireland (and Scotland) is absolutely beautiful, and I’d love to go back one day to see more – and to refresh some of my old photos, haha. And, yes! To this day, that morning at BVA is still my worst airport experience.
