Wow, What can I say, my husband and I recently vacationed in Ireland to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. We once again contacted Exploring Vacations since we had a wonderful experience six years ago.
Exploring Vacations’ staff is very knowledgeable about the countries that you want to visit. They were very efficient in making the reservations for both Hotel and B & B that we stayed at and all accommodations were first class. When you are taking a big trip, you have so many questions, and Exploring Vacations was excellent in providing us information that answered many of our questions. They even booked our rental car through Hertz, which was one less thing for us to worry about.
We have and will continue to refer anyone wanting a great experience when booking a vacation to Exploring Vacations, and since we were thoroughly satisfied, we even stopped by their office to thank them personally!
As our four-year-old grandson would say, “They’re AWESOME! Thank you Exploring Vacations for making our Anniversary a memorable one!
My husband and I planned a trip to Scotland and Liverpool earlier this year, and Exploring Vacations helped us create our ideal itinerary. They found lovely, well located hotels in each stop on our road trip, secured our car rental and even recommended a site to buy our train tickets. Everything went very smooth and we had an amazing time. We hope to visit the region again someday and will definitely be giving EV a call!
We had a great time on our vacation. Exploring Vacations did a great job pre-booking our accommodations, they were in great locations where we could experience a lot in the short time we had. In the planning phase we corresponded mostly through email and it was very easy setting up our entire vacation package. Staff is professional, friendly, and responsive. I highly recommend if you are a first time traveler, they made the process much less stressful and overwhelming!
It had been a dream of mine to go to Ireland for years. I came across Exploring Vacations and they did an amazing job. I was looking for a variety of places to stay and they gave us a variety of castles, hotels and B&B. Just what I was looking for. All the accommodations were incredible. We will definitely be returning to Ireland and will once again use this agency. Special shout out to Lorraine who was awesome to deal with.
We just completed our second trip to Ireland and first to Scotland with Exploring Vacations ! Needless to say, our trip was amazing!! The arrangements made by EV were fantastic , again! They are so easy to work with and professional at what they do. We can't thank them enough for making our trip brilliant! I WILL use them again and I recommend them to all my friends every chance I get. The couple who joined us for the 2 weeks that we were in Ireland were so impressed at how easy everything worked and the quality of our lodgings that they are already thinking about going back!!

Exploring Vacations planned a super 10 day driving vacation through Scotland for us. I have ancestors from Scotland and wanted to tour the country. Since this was our first time to travel "across the pond," we needed help planning the specifics of the trip. They booked our flight, hired our rental car so we could drive on the right/wrong side of the car through the roundabouts, and booked atmospheric hotels that I would have never discovered. Their agent was pleasant, polite, and flexible about details of our trip. I highly recommend using this agency.
My wife and I decided to celebrate our 25th anniversary in Ireland. I was referred to Exploring Vacations by a cousin and decided to give them a call. I was happily surprised to find them based in Ireland, which means they have a full, first-hand knowledge of the country. In addition, their team provided exceptional service, from the initial conversation to helping me return a jacket I left at one of our locations. They were kind, helpful and affordable! A big thumbs up to Exploring Vacations!!!
My husband and I just returned from a fabulous 2 week trip from Ireland using Exploring Vacations. The itinerary was great and the combination of B&B's and hotels worked well. I found them very easy to work with and very responsive to my emails and concerns. I needed to change our arrival date a few months before arrival and the change was easy as well as where we were picking up our rental car. The changes were effortless. Hertz was great to work with as a car rental company. We had the time of our lives. Thank you Exploring Vacations for planning such a fabulous trip for us!!! Will definitely use you again.
Exploring Vacations did a fantastic job for us! Last December myself and 7 other family members decided to take a 10 day vacation to Ireland. As anyone knows, it can be hard coordinating everything for all these people and the people at Exploring Vacations, especially Christine did a fabulous job for us! She had great patience! Everything was wonderful! Completely trustworthy and competent. Will use them again!
Would just like to thank you for the trip y'all planned for my wife and I the Hotel and B&Bs were awesome . Will use your company again on our return . Again thank you so much for making my wife's 50 Birthday our best vacation ever. Everyone were professional and eager to help . And when a question came about they responded quickly .
I have booked 3 self-drive, B&B holidays in Ireland with Exploring Vacations since 2013. Their prices are very competitive, as I have checked with other places. I always decide to book with Exploring Vacations though, not just for the prices, but because the service they offer is the best of any company I have ever worked with, for vacations or for anything else! They are truly top class. They don't just give you some standard itinerary, they listen to what you want, and then offer an itinerary that is absolutely perfect, designed specifically for YOU! They have excellent contacts too, because every place, B&B or hotel, that they have ever offered me has exceeded all expectations. I will continue to use Exploring Vacations, and would highly recommend them to anyone!
I am so glad I trusted Exploring Vacations with our trip. The hotels and B&B's that they used far exceeded my expections. The price was also a nice suprise! They are easy to contact, talk to, and seem to never tire of endless questions. We had a great time-no glitches anywhere!
We had a wonderful time in Ireland last April! I am so sorry that it took so long to write this review. What a beautiful country! The sights were amazing and the people so welcoming and friendly. We loved the Bed and Breakfasts the locations were perfect. It was a wonderful way to spend time with my brothers (no spouses or family - just us)! Thank you for helping to make our vacation special!
Got back and just wanted to say thanks for the great package you put together for the driving tour through Ireland for my daughter and me. We had a wonderful time. All of the accommodations you arranged were just perfect. I don’t know how you know what to pick when probably everyone says the same thing, “nice, but not too expensive” and they all mean something different by it, but what you arranged was just PERFECT for us! We loved the warmth of the B&Bs and freedom of setting our own itinerary with just the structure of our lodging to keep us moving. We truly loved Ireland; the land, the people, all of it.
Thanks again so much for making this so easy for me!
