Ireland Bus Tours

[stearnz33]

I was looking at some bus tours in Ireland:
www.buseireann.ie/asp/TourList.asp
and was wondering if anyone had done them. They are a full day and I was just wondering if this was the way to go to see the countryside, or if there was a better way.
Let me know

Hey stearnz,

haven't taken the Bus Eireann myself, but they look fine as day trips, especially as they cover a lot of ground in a day in areas that aren't accessible unless you have a car (no trains).

Shamrocker (Haggis in Ireland) are a good company too, but at the mo I think they only do 3 days or longer tours. They might be the go if you are thinking of spending time on the Western Pennisula or in Northern Ireland and want the transport/accomm aspect taken care of. Their guides are pretty good too. www.shamrockertours.com/HTML2/NewSite/Default.aspx?MenuID=34&CountryID=57

Happy travels!
