My husband and I traveled to Ireland with Atomic Trips and it was the easiest most stress-free trip I’ve ever taken. I love that everything is planned ahead of time and all I had to do was show up! My favorite part of exploring Ireland was the restaurant/pub local experiences and the gorgeous views. Thank you Atomic Trips for taking us on a vacation we’ll always remember!

I highly recommend Atomic Trips! All of the logistics for our trip such as transportation, hotel reservations, dinner reservations, and guided tours were taken care of, so we could just focus on having fun. Ireland is a beautiful country, and we had knowledgeable guides to help us learn about it, and take pictures along the way. I would definitely travel with Atomic Trips again.

This was my first international trip and I was so excited. Atomic Trips did not disappoint! It was a jam packed schedule but everything was worth it (even being a little sleep deprived). The food was good, all the accommodations were nice and the castle was outstanding! I thought the weather was pretty nice too! It was great to learn all the rich history of Ireland and I can’t wait to go back. 10 out of 10 would recommend to friends and family.

This was the trip of a lifetime!!! My husband and I got to see most of Ireland in comfort and luxury for a really good deal. We stayed at fantastic hotels and ate at delicious restaurants and got to take in all the local sites and sounds of Ireland. Sabrina and Matt were incredible hosts and made us feel like family. They were constantly checking in and adjusting things to make sure we enjoyed our whole week.

Atomic Trips was great to work with. From the very beginning they were able to answer all of my questions, give suggestions before our trip on items to bring and what we’d need. After the trip began, I was impressed with how accommodating the guides were. They got us items we needed if we ran low during trips to towns, transportation was exactly on time and ran well, the hotel stays went well for me. I didn’t have to think or wonder about anything, they already had every detail in place. The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. I highly recommend Atomic Tours to Ireland for your travel plans.

Atomic Tours did a fabulous job setting up an exploration of Ireland. Sabrina and Matt were always helpful and full of historical information. From extended photo sessions, to our million questions and requests to stop for more hot chocolate they were wonderful. The tours, guides and drivers they use are exceptional. I would do this trip again. In my 50s, I would probably have gotten more active before going, to make it a bit easier, but I was able to do all the hikes. Matt and Sabrina also looked out for everyone's safety. They took care of me during my 5 day lost luggage crisis. If you want to get a bit off the normal path, and see some incredible places, go with Atomic Tours.
