    My wife and I just completed the Ireland Tour and it changed our whole attitude about doing a tour. We loved being in a small tour group where everyone gets to know one another. We had a fantastic group and it was by far, one of the best and most informative trips weve ever been on. From day one, each trip was carefully planned with an abundance of daily tours as well as needed downtime and though I have a hearing loss, David spoke louder to accommodate. We NEVER waited in lines for ANYTHING. Anytime we showed up for a reserved tour, we were immediately escorted thru. Our dinner locations were chosen by David because of the charm, the history and the personality and DID NOT disappoint. The food was always outstanding with great selections available because of varying tastes, and we never expected wine and spirits to be included as part of the dining experience. David also picked some out of-the-way locations to stop where the town was not overrun with tourists and where the larger buses were too big to travel. We had to endure some rainy days that required walking in the rain but that's just part of it. Unless we stopped to check into a hotel, the bags always stayed on the bus and if we couldn't check into the rooms early, the hotel had no problem storing our bags for us...at no charge. We can't say enough about the quality of our tour guide and the entire tour itself. It has totally changed our opinion about tour groups and well never visit another city in Europe unless it's a small group tour!!!!!!!

    Hi ***, Thanks for your kind and accurate review of my Best of Ireland tour. It was great getting to know you and others as we traveled around the Emerald **** together. Thanks for your comments here, and I hope our paths will cross on another Exploring Europe adventure.

    My husband and I just traveled to Ireland with David for 12 days along with our friends and we had the best time. Every detail is streamlined in advance so you have no surprises. You receive an email or WhatsApp update every evening with your detailed schedule for the next day, so easy. Breakfast is included every morning, lunch on your own with plenty of options and fun group dinners half the time. David always listened to our opinions about what we wanted and didn't. We loved how he didn't bog us down with nonstop activity and gave us free time to explore on our own. We were so impressed with his company we immediately booked another tour with him. This is a no brainer for us because all you have to do is pack your bags, book a flight and he does everything else simple as that. If you can't have fun with EE,Inc you're not trying.

    Hi *****, thanks for your comments on my Best of Ireland tour. I enjoyed getting to know you and the group as we explored Ireland together. I think your review accurately describes our experiences on tour. Thanks, too, for trusting DMEE again to take you to the ***************** in December! You all are an excellent example of the travel partners that make our tours to Europe fun, educational, and exciting for all!

    Buyer Beware Although the itinerary is as described, the details made it a poor experience. No skip the line tickets in **** and we waited in public line. It was free day at *********. All dinners are set menus with no options and several we had to buy our own drinks. Pasta choice is repeated on first and last night Walking tours are in the heat of the day with no headsets to hear Tour operator nickel and dimes by charging money for water while on his tour bus, storage fees for bags at stops not covered, and other items Time spent in many areas was excessive and thus pushed back several walking tours to hottest part of the day Free day scheduled in ******** is when all museums are closed. Limited options to do besides shop
