Not enough train/rail time. Could have trained from Cork to Blarney or Blarney to Galway . At each hotel the set menu was the same food, that's each hotel had the same menu. Boring

The days were too long. Would have preferred hotels within walking distance of the cities of Dublin and Galway. Taxis were an added expense. Also, everyone was coughing on bus and three people in my party came home with COVID.

Marketed as a rail tour?? A 9 day tour where the rail travel was a total of 5 hours?? Not "a vacation by rail".

Kay was a wonderful tour guide! Ring of Kerry was an awesome day! Ditch the house tour for "The Quite Man", maybe do a town tour and lunch instead. The Cliffs of Mohr was on my bucket list and didn't disappoint. Overall wonderful tour, met some lovely new friends in a beautiful land.
