In a life well lived, each succeeding day becomes better than the last. Each day, each year, each experience does not stand alone; it cannot be separated from what has happened before or what may happen after. Yesterday determines today, and today helps determine tomorrow.

Why Choose Our Tours - Compare
| Recess 4 Grownups Tours Include: | Compare Other Tours: |
| Premium Game Tickets | Check if your game tickets are standard seating or premium seating. Are you in the nosebleed seats? Our tours feature premium seating for great views of the action! |
| Dublin City Center Hotels | Some tours have hotels located 30-45 minutes outside Dublin, limiting your ability to easily explore key Dublin sights like the Temple Bar area. Or, you’ll have to pay a pretty big cab fare. |
| Comprehensive Sightseeing Included | Many packages include accommodations and a few basic sights, but other sightseeing excursions require purchase of additional day tours. How much will it cost to add all the excursions to create a complete vacation while you are in Ireland? Some other packages’ add-on fees: Ring of Kerry $40, Dingle Peninsula $62, Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens $72. |
| More Included Dinners and Irish Entertainment | Some packages don’t include any dinners or Pub experiences. With the big crowds in Dublin, most Irish entertainment venues will be booked, so our included dinner and Irish entertainment at Taylor’s Three Rock ensures you have a seat at a favorite experience for a visitor to Ireland. Dinners included in the 6-night and 9-night tours help you control costs while on your trip. |
| Minimized Hotel Movement on Longer Tours | Other longer tours have you changing hotels every 1-2 days, so you spend a lot of time packing and unpacking. We’ve based our sightseeing design on day tours out of Dublin or Killarney, so you see the beauty and diversity of Ireland with our included excursions, without the hassle of packing up and moving everyday. |
| Extra Experiences Included in 6-Night and 9-Night Tours | Check out other tours to see what special features they have included in your tour. We’ve included some fun Irish activities such as a horse drawn jaunting car ride and sheep dog demonstration to enhance your memories of your Ireland vacation. The 9-Night tour finishes with a night in a real 16th century Irish castle to provide the perfect finale to a once in a lifetime trip. |
| Flexibility in Included Sightseeing and Independent Time | Some tours do include sightseeing, but you are rigidly locked into activity everyday, and because you move hotels from city to city, you can't miss the tour. We’ve designed our tours to provide all the included sightseeing in each location, but also enough free time to explore on your own to get the feel of Ireland based on your interests. In addition, our 9-Night tour has 4 nights in Killarney, with included tours to the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, and Mizen Head and Bantry Bay – but since we are doing day trips from Killarney, you have the flexibility to skip the day’s included tour if you have been before or just prefer to pursue a different activity. |
| Arrival in Dublin on Thursday | Some packages have arrival in Dublin on Friday, so you’ll feel the affects of jet lag on Friday and have very little time to experience the fun of Dublin before the big game. |
| Time in Dublin Saturday after game | Some tours actually leave Dublin on Saturday after the game is over! The second most exciting time on the trip is going to be the time in Dublin after the game is over – who would want to miss being there? |
| Time in Dublin on Sunday | Some tour packages leave Dublin first thing on Sunday morning. After staying up late on Saturday celebrating your team winning the game, do you really want to have to get up early to leave? |
| Tour Directors Focused on Your Great Vacation, not on selling add-on tours | Tours that don’t have comprehensive sightseeing will be promoting add-on tours. That means they are trying to sell you tours in each location, spending time hawking add-on tours rather than spending their time on sharing the best of Ireland with you. |
