Is Ireland A Safe Place To Go?

Safe & Friendly
Irish culture is famously friendly and welcoming to visitors.
As a society, Ireland is strongly protective of both women's rights and the rights of LGBTQ+ communities. We were the first country in the world to democratically enact equal marriage laws.
Expect to meet a diverse range of guests on our small-group tours — including solo female travellers, people of all nationalities, LGBTQ+ couples and families.

Small-Group = Max Friendliness
On our tours, small group sizes mean there's a great chance for you to connect with your tour guide and fellow travellers.
Even better, you’ll be visiting smaller, rural communities where the pace of life is slower.
You may notice people greeting you unexpectedly from passing cars; strangers will stop to chat or ask where you are from.
This level of friendliness is normal and expected in small Irish villages and rural communities.
Take one of our small group tours for a hassle-free way to explore Ireland and meet future friends.
