Our Ireland self-guided tour packages are designed to give you the independence of doing your own road trip, but with the knowledge and resources of taking a guided trip with a top tour operator (that’s us). For many types of travelers, a self-guided trip offers the best of both worlds. Keep reading to learn more, and please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
You can explore Ireland at your own pace while getting a little help along the way from our expert-guided itineraries and complementary Paddy the Pocket Pilot virtual tour guide app. Prebook ‘tried & loved’ accommodations in Ireland, ranging from friendly guest houses to 4-star hotels and historic castles.

After all, it’s your adventure; why not have it your way? And if having absolute control over your itinerary sounds appealing, then you may be interested in our private Irish tours instead.

If you’d prefer the traditional tour experience over our self-guided tours of Ireland, we have an incredible range of Irish Small Group Tours. You’ll travel our beautiful little country in one of our Overland Ireland mini coaches, driven by your own local guide.
Our small group tours are designed to take you off the beaten track and range from the relaxed to the active, allowing you to tailor the style and length of adventure to suit you.
Our Relaxed Tours of Ireland let you experience Ireland’s most loved landmarks and many hidden gems at an easy-going pace.
Our Active Ireland Group Tours are designed with adventure in mind and are perfect for those who want their Ireland with a bit of zing; like kayaking with dolphins, hiking peaks, or biking with red deer. Experience Ireland through adventure.
Our local guides know every boreen (country lane) and bawn (enclosed tower) in the 32 counties and they are just bursting to share their stories, hidden histories, and local knowledge.
Did we mention our tours are award-winning and have been reviewed by the world’s toughest critics (our previous tour groups)?
