Amazing Tour Experience
Honestly, I have only been on two tours involving a hired touring organization and the experience I had with Irish Rugby Tours was far above and superior to anything I had experienced on my previous tour experience. Our guide Lucy did an incredible job of communicating to our group about schedules, activities and information throughout the entire trip. She went out of her way to provide additional information when requested, adjust to changing plans of our group and just made sure the entire tour went off without a single issue. She was professional, yet friendly and welcoming and was able to manage and help keep in line a rowdy group of college rugby players for the entirety of the trip. Our tour bus driver John was also an absolute gem and provided so much wonderful information about the history of the country and specific information to each city we visited. He was also so very professional, but at the same time fun and friendly! The experience was so good that I hope we can work with both Lucy and John again someday on a future tour, they were THAT incredibly good! Ask for either or both of them and you’re going to be sure to enjoy your tour experiences. Thank you again Lucy and John, you are both the absolute best! Cheers!

The Kansas Jayhawks RFC
The Kansas Jayhawks RFC (Lawrence, KS USA) would like to thank Ireland Rugby Tours for an unforgettable experience. Our tour included Dublin, Galway, and Cork. Everyday was well organized and enjoyable. We had 3 training sessions with top notch rugby coaches, 3 rugby matches with first rate rugby clubs, several sightseeing excursions, and still plenty of free time to explore. Several highlights include Ireland vs Scotland 6 Nations match, marching in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Galway, Cliffs of Moher, and so much more. Special shout out to Lucy our tour manager, and John our bus driver. Both were great people and fun to be around. Thanks again. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

5/5 George and Ray provided a top quality tour for our JCT side. The facilities were of an excellent standard to cater for our demanding schedule. Ray was always on hand to deal with any changes/ requests that we had. I would recommend Irish Rugby Tours to any group thinking about travelling abroad.

Hi J,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the trip, especially the sights in Barcelona and the rides. We understand it can be disappointing to have only one game, and we appreciate you letting us know. We were promised 2 games, unfortunately that didn't materialise due to players having other commitments. Your comments help us improve our future itineraries, and we hope to welcome you back for an even more exciting experience next time.

Blackrock College Rugby Tour to Sedbergh School, UK
We have just returend from a rugby tour to the UK, 216 people in total. From start to finish, George was a pleasure to deal with. This is no surpirse as we have used George on a number of tours over the years, from New Zealand to Bristol and many others.
Georges attention to detail is incredible. Our hotel, Novotel Paddington Village, was exceptional. The food was excellent, facilities were fabulous and the staff incredibly friendly.

Hi Evan,
Wow — thank you so much for this amazing review! It really means a lot to hear such positive feedback, especially from a group as experienced and well-travelled as yours.
It was a real pleasure working with you again on this UK tour and to have 216 people travelling together is no small feat. I’m thrilled everything went smoothly from start to finish. Delighted to hear you enjoyed Novotel Paddington Village too, we’ve always found them fantastic and it’s great to know they delivered again for your group on every level.
Thanks again for putting your trust in us over the years from New Zealand to Bristol and now London, it’s been a real honour to be part of your rugby journey.
Looking forward to the next one already!

Women’s Rugby World Cup Tour for over 100 people
Planning a tour for 100+ people to the Womens Rugby World Cup seemed like a daunting task until Irish Rugby Tours came along. They just took all the hassle out of the planning. Their expertise in planning trips for big groups meant that they could advise us on our plans and make suggestions knowing what works. We really had the trip of a lifetime and everyone in the group was in total agreement. Would definitely use them again with no hesitation.
