Relaxed Small Group Tours of Ireland

Overland Ireland’s Relaxed Small Group Tours of Ireland offer guests an Ireland trip jam-packed with authentic culture, vibrant history (that you can touch and feel), and ‘craic’(fun). Our relaxed tours are mostly called ‘relaxed’ to help distinguish them from our adventure tours; they move along at a nice pace, but they are full of incredible immersive experiences each day — all carefully organized to ensure you have the best possible time.

Our relaxed Ireland tours are perfect for anyone looking for a complete Irish vacation that moves at a smooth, easy pace.

Adventure Small Group Tours

Ireland’s majestic countryside and wilder areas call out to adventurers, reminding us that the best places tend to be off the beaten path. Overland Ireland’s Adventure Small Group Tours of Ireland are packed with even more adventurous activities than our other Ireland vacations, but there are still lots of local immersive experiences that you can enjoy only in Ireland. 

All of our tours help guests explore the culture, history, and spirit of Ireland. Our adventure tours also include kayaking, hiking, cycling, and other exciting outdoor activities on top of the cultural offerings.
