Ireland Family-Friendly Trips & Tours

This is the cutest, coziest B&B! We had a family room and it was perfect, the sitting room was so cute and reminded us so much of grandma’s house! The location is perfect, a literal one minute walk to two great restaurants and pubs but also very quiet. The family running the place is just lovely and cook up a great breakfast!

Our view of Edinburgh Castle was amazing. Location was super convenient.

The view from our window of the Inverness Castle was great. Within walking distance of downtown. They did a load of laundry for us and when we told them we were leaving too early to enjoy breakfast after our first night there, they prepared a lunch packet for each of us, including a sandwich, chips, fruit, a cereal bar, and a juice box. (We didn't ask for that.)

Loved the breakfast buffet

We all loved Killaran House. Breda and her staff were excellent. The room was comfortable and we loved the coffee/hot chocolate bar right outside of our room. Breakfast was excellent, as well.

Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. The Kilronan House was very charming and my family would recommend.

Chris was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He was very accommodating as one of our members had knee issues and he was able to help us avoid many of the stairs on our route.

Edinburgh Castle is awesome. We saw the Scottish Crown Jewels here.

We climbed all 246 stairs to get to the top! This was an interesting place to visit.

This castle was fun to tour.

This tour was a guided bus tour and lasted all day. I would have enjoyed this better as a private tour. The scenery was beautiful and we got to experience 4 seasons in one day (it was sunny, it rained, sleeted, hailed and snowed.)

We didn't see Nessie but enjoyed this tour nonetheless.

James was our driver. He was great. He added a specific stop that we asked about (a filming location in Game of Thrones).

Self-Guided

Breath-taking. You just have to see this. Pictures can't quite capture the awesomeness.

Picturesque. Loved the horse-drawn carriage.

This was perhaps our favorite excursion. Our tour guide, Martin, was fabulous. We wanted to take him with us everywhere. Martin O'Riordan of M.O.R. Executive Travel.

We enjoyed this tour. The setting was unique and we visited some shops in the town below.

We enjoyed this very much! Nice introduction to Ireland.

We liked this hotel, as it had a sauna, a cold plunge, and massages (the latter for a fee). The lounge was pleasant to sit in; it had a bar and looked out on the back garden. We could walk downtown. Excellent restaurants nearby. The hosts were helpful too, as I left a book light and paperback in the room when we departed, and they gave them to our friends to return it to us.

Modern hotel, near English Market

Right on the Corrib River, and walkable to downtown. Bathrooms are small & in particular shower is tiny! Staff is kind and food is excellent.

This hotel has delicious food and kind and helpful staff. The rooms are large and well appointed.

Early, but on time!

Kevin was a great guide. We fished in the bay and caught 8 pollock (threw them back). You can keep them and eat the fish later if you like!

I liked this tour but we would have liked to know we were going to be eating dinner ahead of time, and it was difficult to find the tour guide at the start. We visited three bars with food and also had Murphy’s ice cream of the street. The tour guide was kind and helpful.

I really liked this tour. Nice to have options for people who don’t want to or can’t bike. They offered a horse and carriage and e-bike options.

Great tour guide! Nice to sit in the bar after and enjoy the tastes of different gibs and whiskey.
