High Point Holidays and Randonnees Outre-Manche

Centrally located, beautiful restaurant. Our room was a bit dated, but nice and they are renovated all of them. We were there just a little early. Stay there!

Centrally located and quick walk from the train station!

Right in the center of everything!! Our view was of the church and its cemetery. Breakfast was lovely in the lower level - decorated like on a cruise ship. Walked out with baskets of baked goods to choose from...then incredible full breakfasts. Double doors toward downtown kept out the noise of the fun happening....if you didn't want to join in!

Central and walkable. We were upgrade to the 5th floor where we had a view of the River Lee and access to extra waters and snacks down the hall. They do turn down service, too.

Dublin is a busy city and this inn is a little on the edge, away from the people, but not too far. It sits right across from a beautiful park and you can get to everything you want by walking.

Phil and Fion were our guides. We had a very small group of 8. We learned much about the land and the people along the way. Loved the time spent on the island. Phil gave us great ideas and choices. Riding on the ferries to see the cliff and just be on the water was spectacular.

Our guide picked us up very early (breakfast wasn't open yet)and drove us through the Connemara countryside on our way to Kylemore Abbey. While rainy, it was very beautiful and he told us about the land and its people. We were scheduled for the Abbey and also a sheepdog demo. When we arrived at the Abbey it wasn't open yet, so he took us to a park to view Diamond Hill. We didn't have enough time to hike or anything. Headed back to the Abbey. Had just enough time to visit the building, not the grounds. Too late for the dog demo. We had to head back right away to make sure we didn't miss the train. Had to skip lunch and grab a snack at the train station. All in all, I would change this. My recommendation - an 8:00 pickup with an advised big breakfast beforehand. Less driving around, go directly to the Abbey for the building and the gardens. Then head to the train station for a snack.

We got here in the late afternoon. They suggested we take the 3 bridges walking tour with map. It was perfect! We loved Limerick. Not as touristy and the pub were filled with locals.

It was a nice ride through the park. Our guide was not very talkative. The horse carriage ahead of us was having a much more interesting ride as we could hear their voices and laughter.

Aodan was incredible!! Share his personal experiences the whole way around the ring. Saw the 1800s village, had Irish coffee, watched an awesome sheepdog demo, drove by his Granddad's place and heard stories of his life, stopped by Skellig tourist info and watched the movie, had an delicious lunch by the sea, and took in the beauty of the land, waters and waterfall. What a day!

Derek makes you see, feel, hear, smell and taste these places! Seriously! The ocean, the castle & gardens, the tiny towns, the people, the restaurants. the shopping, the music in his car. What an incredibly delightful day exploring three unique areas in Cork. Can't believe we got all three in one day - but he knows where to go, what to do, and paced things perfectly.

Bob met us at the church and gave us the history of Cork as we made our way to the market. We also stopped at a candy store, where they had been in business as a family for 3 generations. At the market we had a big seafood sampler, huge olive and cheese tray, chocolates and coffee. It was a nice time.

What a lovely last thing to do! Quiet and relaxing off the streets of Dublin, the food was absolutely wonderful and service was top notch. We sat and took in the surroundings, food, and tea while revisiting all the loveliness that had been the last 10 days. Not something I would have thought to request, but delightful!

Such great detail of the history of Dublin! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and honest about the past. He took us all over and handled questions well, too.

Loved the opportunity to see the incredible dancers and hear so much of the fun music. The musicians had all of us singing along, too. Nicely interactive at times. The food was very good - three courses with nice choices. Only thing we didn't like was how rude people were when the show started. Lots of talking and side conversations. I felt badly for the performers. Also, some people get up and leave before it's over.

I have been in breweries and had tours, but Guiness is over the top!! Kind of like Disney World and Willie Wonka rolled into one. Floor after floor you guide yourself through the interactive, all senses experience. It is kinda crazy, but cool! At the top, we had 360 degree (sunny) views of Dublin. Had lunch at their restaurant and it was very good!

The handheld audio brought this church to life. I'm not much into churches, but this was interesting and well laid out for tourists. Spent about 45 minutes there.

A little out of the way but a great place. The food was wonderful at breakfast and dinner.

Alessandro was our tour guide for this activity. It was the most important thing to us on our trip to Italy. We could not have asked for a more informative, enjoyable, organized tour guide. He created this tour so that we felt like we almost had the Vatican to ourselves. He had visual guides with his iPad that really explained what we were seeing and the history behind all. His English was perfect - he was just amazing!

This was a great tour and tour guide. Our only comment was that it was about 3-4 hours long without any breaks. For example, when walking through the market area, it would have been great to have some time to explore there instead of stopping at so many sites that were somewhat forgettable.

We didn't realize we would have a driver and tour guide. This was so helpful because parking was difficult and it really helped our guide, Raphaella, to be able to concentrate on the tour itself.

Brenda was wonderful, informative and kind.

Our guide was not waiting for us in the airport but I guess waiting until we were actually done and instead trying to connect via the What's App. It was right as we came into Rome and created a bit of stress thinking he/she forgot us. If he would have at least been waiting in the airport with a sign with our name, it would have been appreciated, but instead he was waiting in his car and we worried that we had been forgotten. In addition, our understanding was that the driver would give us a bit of history and overview of Rome. Unfortunately, he did not speak really any English. This was the only part of the trip that was disappointing.

Great accommodations and location in the Temple Bar district. Would love to have stayed longer.

We had stayed at this hotel during a previous trip to Ireland. Location was good, accommodations were fine. Popular for large bus tours.

What a fantastic, new and classy hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were great. Location was ideal for neighborhood and tourist activities.

Traditional Irish hotel. Nothing fancy but great Irish feeling. Love the location at Donegal's triangle. Enjoyed the restaurants and pubs within walking distance.

We have stayed here before. Hotel was clean and accommodating. Even though it was off season, the tour bus volume was big.

Probably our favorite hotel out of the bunch but unfortunately, our shortest stay. Location was good and accommodations were fantastic.

Probably the highlight of our trip. We had a personal walking tour with Dolores, a local musician and music aficionado. The walking tour took us throughout Belfast and music along the way. I would love to come back for her punk rock tour! Our day ended with a traditional Irish music session and a great restaurant recommendation.

Jimmy Toye was a fantastic guide. Having lived through the uprising, Jimmy provided a great account during the tour. A don't miss tour in Derry.

A rainy and cold day. Our driver, Mercin, was a great guide. A countryside your of the Great Atlantic Way ... just beautiful. One of our tours was cancelled due to weather. Mercin made the best of it with a stop at Ballynahinch Castle for an Irish coffee!

We were fortunate enough to have good weather and very, very small group. Our "local" guide was great and we experienced tasty local food.

Dublin is a great town. We were able to sneak in lunch at Gallagher's Boxty House.

The sessions were good and musicians were very entertaining. We enjoyed the two venues that had music.

Our driver was very friendly and helpful.

Donegal is a cute and quiet town. Being off season, we had the town to ourselves. Our Derry to Donegal driver (Michael Gallagher) was super. He recommended lunch (Olde Castle Bar) and dinner (Quay West) spots which were great. We did catch a seisun later that night at the Reel Inn! Also bought hats at Hanna Hat Company, a wonderful experience.

The museum was okay. Worth the tour if time permits.

Our guide, Mark, was super. He took our large group to four different type venues ending up at old pub for traditional Irish music. Mark was able to address us a number of times and provide us suggestions for our remaining night. The bars might have been to crowded and loud for seniors like ourselves.

A worthwhile museum stop while in Belfast. We learned alot about Belfast and the Titanic.

Wonderful tour of the Giants Causeway and Atlantic seascape. Our driver was so nice and attentive to both my wife and I. We learned alot bout Northern Ireland and the landcape.

A bit disappointing outing. The hotel was under construction and the eating area was bleak. The food was marginal

Great recommendation by Kimkim. A great quite location, we felt like the meal was curated just for us. My wife and I experienced the tasting menu and wine pairing. A fantastic meal.

This session was cancelled due to poor weather.

On again, off again weather did not stop our guides from providing us a wonderful experience. While the tour did not encompass a large area, we had a great taste of Galway's offerings. We worth the time spend and tasty.

One of the best sessions on the tour. Being big music fans, our curator was nothing but insanely entertaining and informative. Great location and history of Irish rock museum. A must when visiting Dublin.

They would not let us check in a minute before 3PM. The train was steps out front of the door, it was a bit unnerving with kids. Would not recommend with children. It was clean, and well kept otherwise not a lot of amenities.

Beautiful property, clean and well appointed. Swimming facility was very nice, and room was comfortable. Lots of activities to spend time on. We wish we had booked more days here!

This hotel smelled of B.O upon entering. The staff seemed overwhelmed, it was extremley busy. I would not return to this property.

Great location, this hotel was hard as a family. Had to get 2 rooms, and we had to wait until 3pm until check in. It was very busy with a conference.

This hotel was mediocre, the staff was nice and the room was clean.

This is a special property, we enjoyed getting to stay here

Did not keep the kids interest. The factory tour was interesting, just not for children.

Wonderful excursion! Mark was fantastic with kids, highly recommend

Best castle tour in Ireland. Self guided, but you really get to see the scope and scale of castle life. Would recommend.

It was freezing, and a story telling museum. Would not recommend

Great tour! No room at the top. After 7 stories you want to take a seat, it is not possible. The cool view made up for it, but wish there was more seating at the top.

Dinner was at 7pm with show 8-10pm. I saw people coming in later than 7PM, I wish we would've eaten during the performance. Kids were tired by 9:30 and we left early. Also our seat was poor, with a pole in the middle of the view. I can't tell how to get a better seat. It looked like tables of 4 got terrible views. Great music, and show, would recommend.

This is 1 activity that I would have skipped. The ipad tour was frustrating for my 8 yr old. The horse race ending was cool, but not worth the time or cost. It was freezing and raining, so we did not get to enjoy the grounds.

Great experience for the family. Great gift shop

Wonderful experience. It was cold, but blankets were provided.

Even though the room was small, the breakfast was AMAZING! Great location as well and very clean
