Ireland Luxury Trip Review: Ring of Kerry, Beara Peninsula, Hiking, Nightlife & Music, Culture & Activities

The travel planner was good to work with and knowledgeable about Ireland. However, we had said that one of our major interests was hiking and she didn't provide specific details, so we had to find the hikes and guides on our own. Also, she arranged the trip advising us that we could see both the Ring of Kerry and Dingle in a single day, but both the hotel and the guide we hired said that wasn't possible, so we missed Dingle. Also, renting a car through a car agency was disappointing. We didn't have an agency confirmation number even a few days before we left, so I called the car agency to get one. But, since it was arranged through the travel agent, we still weren't able to bypass the checkout line even though we are Gold Members and get the car at the airport, which led to an hour and a half wait at the car agency. Also, since we paid directly, we paid less than $300 rather than the $750 that we would have paid through the travel company. On the good side, the hotels that we stayed out all were very good and well located.
