Paul LookerWe used Irish Rugby Tours for our U18G trip to Ireland this year and so happy we did. The itinerary was perfect the staff knowledge and easy to work with. Using a tour company took all the stress away leaving the staff to only worry about the players. The games and hosting was fantastic I can’t say enough good things about this experience and would happily use them again+0Posted on GoogleMatias JensenUnrealPosted on GoogleJoshua AarnesHonestly, I have only been on two tours involving a hired touring organization and the experience I had with Irish Rugby Tours was far above and superior to anything I had experienced on my previous tour experience. Our guide Lucy did an incredible job of communicating to our group about schedules, activities and information throughout the entire trip. She went out of her way to provide additional information when requested, adjust to changing plans of our group and just made sure the entire tour went off without a single issue. She was professional, yet friendly and welcoming and was able to manage and help keep in line a rowdy group of college rugby players for the entirety of the trip. Our tour bus driver John was also an absolute gem and provided so much wonderful information about the history of the country and specific information to each city we visited. He was also so very professional, but at the same time fun and friendly! The experience was so good that I hope we can work with both Lucy and John again someday on a future tour, they were THAT incredibly good! Ask for either or both of them and you’re going to be sure to enjoy your tour experiences. Thank you again Lucy and John, you are both the absolute best! Cheers!Posted on GoogleRichard McCarthyA wonderful experience for all 53 tour members, well organised and a fabulous facilities at RC SitgesPosted on GoogleMichael GallagherAmazing all around tour. Our tour guides were amazing and hosting clubs were phenomenal. Look forward to traveling with Irish Rugby Tours again!Posted on GoogleLora CuthbertAbsolutely a fantastic trip!! Well organized, and super friendly guides.Posted on GoogleJoe KirschOutstanding tour company. They took care of us before and while on tour. Already planning another another tour!Posted on GoogleMiles MaasenLucy made our trip FANTASTIC!!! Best tour guide we've ever had!Posted on GoogleSeth JohnsonHad at absolute blast with the Irish Rugby Tours group. Lucy O'Flaherty is a top notch guide. Every city we stopped in Lucy always had great recommendations for food, drink, and culture. Our bus driver I believe was named John was fantastic.Posted on GoogleJason WThe Kansas Jayhawks RFC (Lawrence, KS USA) would like to thank Ireland Rugby Tours for an unforgettable experience. Our tour included Dublin, Galway, and Cork. Everyday was well organized and enjoyable. We had 3 training sessions with top notch rugby coaches, 3 rugby matches with first rate rugby clubs, several sightseeing excursions, and still plenty of free time to explore. Several highlights include Ireland vs Scotland 6 Nations match, marching in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Galway, Cliffs of Moher, and so much more. Special shout out to Lucy our tour manager, and John our bus driver. Both were great people and fun to be around. Thanks again. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!Posted on Googleavery maloneyAwesome driving and commentary!Posted on GoogleSonia DoroshenkoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Excellent coaching sessions and training. We were disappointed in getting the details of our itinerary so late. In addition, the location of the city for one of our hotels changed. This made it difficult to coordinate plans with people we wanted to meet up with that were not part of the tour. Our hotels in Bristol and Cardiff were excellent and the food was great. The only drawback was the hotel in Cardiff was isolated. The hostel in London’s only plus was its location. It was a dive, with funky smells, cold showers and rude staff….,and questionable ethics by a certain bartender. George was difficult to get a response from at times especially when we were booking flights. But a great experience for the team.Posted on GoogleJennifer KrickThe entire team at Irish Rugby Tours was helpful, friendly and incredibly informative the entire process. Even helping keep us organized during the tour. They create each tour to be unique for the group so it’s a once in a lifetime trip.Posted on GoogleTye MartinIncredible experience. Awesome guide, Michelle. They had every detail covered and I would recommend this tour very highly.Posted on GoogleArraiyai had so much fun being able to make new friendships and play my favourite sport as thr youngest!Posted on GoogleJose May EricksonIrish Rugby Tours is what the new generation are calling SICK. They are amazing!! Words are not enough to express the gratitude I felt towards those amazing human being that worked day in and day out to make our trip a success. I think I called George ions of times and with the time difference so many late nights. The best thing is they never got tired of me. They answered my calls, emails, and any concerns that I have and was beyond patient with me. I wished I was the one in charge of taking pictures to show how amazing our trip was. My social media person will write another review with all the pictures. Thank you, thank you so much Irish Rugby Tours for such an amazing trip. Now to plan the next one. Book all your trip with Irish Rugby Tours and you will not regret it. And we also had the best tours manager with us. Joanne thank you so much. You are awesome! And George from the bottom of my heart, thank you.Posted on GoogleJolynne WrightVery organized, flexible, accommodating and knowledgeable, with a large group. We had an amazing trip with our rugby team. Total group number was 43 people. Highly recommend+0Posted on GoogleWesley Carter5/5 George and Ray provided a top quality tour for our JCT side. The facilities were of an excellent standard to cater for our demanding schedule. Ray was always on hand to deal with any changes/ requests that we had. I would recommend Irish Rugby Tours to any group thinking about travelling abroad.Posted on Googlecharliegood fun,great facilitiesPosted on GoogleHarry GlynnWas fun really good food nice spa and outside rooftop poolPosted on GoogleJames SheehanIt was good funPosted on GoogleMarcus KissaneGood experience and nice place to go with good facilitiesPosted on GoogleRuairí FarrellNice trip with Irish Rugby Tours I think we should have done other activities that are not rugby related as wellPosted on GooglePhilip RyanEverything ran smoothly! I would 100% recommend Irish Rugby Tours. Thank you.Posted on Googlewilliam Myersgreat 😊+0Posted on GoogleRomeo Sithebegood tour, buses were always on time i recommend+0Posted on GoogleNoah PowerGreat definitely do it again+0Posted on GoogleJohn LoganGreat experience with Irish Rugby Tours. Lucy (our guide) was super helpful and very organised.Posted on GoogleThorben KlauerI found that everything was booked and planned out well ensuring that everything ran smoothly which it did.Posted on GoogleThomas ParkeAs a teacher on this trip, I really enjoyed it!! Accommodation: The lodges/cabins were clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable. Sporting facilities: The facilities for both hockey and rugby were both of a very high standard and conveniently located to our accommodation. Hosting clubs: Both Lena 22 (hockey) and FC Barcelona (rugby) were excellent hosts providing food, refreshments and good company after our matches. I would be grateful if you could pass on our school’s gratitude to both clubs! Night-time supervision/security: The night-time supervision team at Cambrills Park were both pleasant and helpful. I felt that they had the welfare of our students at the forefront of their thoughts, and it was reassuring to have them on duty. Food: Students and staff were all very happy with variety of choices available at mealtimes in the restaurant. However, some of the packed lunches that were not eaten, although, this in my experience is not unusual! Buses: The fleet of buses used during our trip were of a very high standard. On a couple of occasions, we had to wait on a pickup, but I feel that this was understandable considering the volume of traffic and the lack of dedicated bus parking where we wanted to be picked up in central Barcelona. During our visit we had four different drivers. Drivers one and three were helpful and very pleasant. Drivers two and four were sullen and grumpy at times. Overall impression: Staff and students alike all had a great trip and a number of them have said that they would love to do it again next year. Finally: I would like to thank our rep, Lucy for her help, guidance and company on our trip!! Kind regards, Tom ParkePosted on GoogleLance BattenHad a great time. Everything was organised well.Posted on GoogleMia LambdenPlanning a tour for 100+ people to the Womens Rugby World Cup seemed like a daunting task until Irish Rugby Tours came along. They just took all the hassle out of the planning. Their expertise in planning trips for big groups meant that they could advise us on our plans and make suggestions knowing what works. We really had the trip of a lifetime and everyone in the group was in total agreement. Would definitely use them again with no hesitation.+8Posted on GoogleRonan CanningExcellent tour- good rugby- nice accommodation and foodPosted on GoogleLuke McauliffeIt was goodPosted on GoogleJoe LandersRaymond was absolutely amazing, we had a great rugby trip and everything went very smoothly.Posted on GoogleJossOKAll very organised, enjoyed a great trip.Posted on GoogleJarrod HomanRay is the best bloke ever.

George and Ray made sure we had what we needed at all times, communicated well, and always made sure we were safe. Additionally, they are both great guys and fun to hang out with! This trip was everything and I can’t wait to book another one with them in the future!Posted on GoogleMaryanne DoyonWe just went to the Flanders Open Rugby tournement in Dendermonde with Irish Rugby Tours (as a team). We had amazing support from beginning to end! I really loved the option to pay in installments. Both of our guides (George and then Ray) gave us plenty of freedom but were still there at just the right times! The included dinners were all super generous. Overall, it was a fantastic experience — I’d do it all over again! ❤️🤗Posted on GoogleKaty KimbrellAn epic tour to Belgium and the Netherlands! Flanders Open is an incredible event for rugby and is extremely well organized. Our tour guides Ray and George were super helpful and also super fun.

We had a great tour guide who was there to help us with anything we asked. The transfers/ tours/ day trips/ hotel went so smoothly. I’d highly recommend.Posted on GoogleSharon TateThank you, Irish Rugby Tours for another fabulous tour for St. Thomas Aquinas High School Rugby Team in Kansas. The boys, coaches, parents and families had a wonderful time. Our tour guide, Michelle, was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed and even adjusted schedules so that families and players could do more together during our time in Ireland. Thank you!Posted on GoogleShelly KellyTo say that our entire trip was amazing is an understatement! From beginning to end we all had such a great time. Having all of the work done for us by Irish Rugby Tours was so great that it will be hard to take another trip where we have to actually do all of the planning ourselves! Every day has a plan and we got to see and do so much that we never could have put together without them. From our bus driver, Bernard, to all of the rugby clubs, they made our trip so enjoyable. Hands down we had the best tour guide, Michelle. I think that all 80 people on our trip fell in love with everything Ireland because of all that she did with and for us as well as showing us how proud she is of her country. She knew and took care of every tiny detail for us and always made us laugh with her quick wit. Irish Rugby Tours took care of us and on a scale of 1 to 10 our trip was a 15!Posted on GoogleJeff HindsIrish Rugby Tours provided the best service. Our guide Michelle gave us an incredible history lesson in the most entertaining way. She kept us laughing, on schedule and gave tips on the various cities. She even taught us some of the trendy words they use in Ireland. I would highly recommend Irish Rugby Tours.Posted on GoogleMarySue GozaWhat an amazing trip! So well run, we got to spend time enjoying the country and the rugby. Michelle is THE BEST tour guide ever. My kids had her as their tour guide 3 years ago and they loved her as well. So knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot and hope she’s our guide again when we return the next time!Posted on GoogleChris GIrish Rugby Tours was amazing yet again! We’ve used Irish Rugby Tours for multiple trips and each one has been amazing! From tour guides to bus drivers everyone is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable with tidbits about local areas on the trip. They are affordable and go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a memorable trip; players and parents alike. Everything runs just as advertised and at the end of the trip we can’t wait to do it all again. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Cheers! ChrisPosted on GoogleSerena MoyerExperiencing Ireland with Irish Rugby Tours was an amazing experience. A true vacation where we felt like we saw everything possible. Michelle was an excellent guide, very knowledgable and went above and beyond our expectations.Posted on GoogleNancy KechnerThis was our second tour with IRT. They planned an amazing array of both rugby and non-rugby experiences for my collegiate women's side. We had 3 amazing coaching sessions with international coaches, and 3 great games with local teams. Our tour guide made Scottish history and culture come alive, and we saw many historic sites. The tour kept us busy and entertained, and was life-changing for many of my players. George Hook is the most wonderful and communicative fellow to work with, and he makes sure you are 100% taken care of. We're planning on another trip with IRT since both of our tours with them have far exceeded all of our expectations.Posted on GoogleWhitney CourserI can’t say enough about Irish Rugby Tours! George and Michelle were absolutely wonderful! They handled everything perfectly down to the minute. Michelle was an amazing tour guide providing us with the perfect amount of fun and knowledge and tourism of every location we visited.

We got everything we wanted out of this tour, including an amazing Six Nations game. They make the planning and payment process easy. The tour guide and bus drivers went above and beyond to make sure we were able to make memories that would last a lifetime. They answered questions and gave suggestions that made exploring the cities easy, even with a language barrier. The tour had something for everyone. Our Girls High School Players love the shopping, Rugby Games, and Gladiator training. The adults on the tour loved the cooking class, sight seeing, and the wine tasting. The events and sites we were able to participate in and see would only possible with Irish Rugby Tours. George and his team are fantastic and I can't wait to book our next tour.Posted on GoogleLauren BaptisteAmazing 10/10 experience!
