I’m traveling to Ireland in five weeks and need to find light comfortable sylish shoes. Something that won’t stand out as "touristy" but that will withstand Irish weather. Any brand names and models will help. Experienced travelers recommendations appreciated as well as local tips!
:) Well over here there are such things as ‘touristy’ shoes. We can tell them a mile away. They are aesthetically unpleasant for the most part. I basically needed recommendations for comfortable walking shoes, doesn’t really rain here that much so I wanted to take into consideration it might rain while I’m on travel. THANK YOU ALL.

Has anyone taken this trip or similar to it by the same company? I’ve searched online and I’ve seen a bunch of different reviews…from it being awesome to the worst. I’m not expecting luxury hotels especially for the low price.

Are there any other tours of Ireland (including N.Ireland) around the same price? I’m looking for UNDER 00 (w/o airfare) paddywagon definitely meets.

Thanks!

My wife and I would love to spend 7-10 days in Ireland next year, preferably with a tour guide. Anyone have suggestions from personal experience on who to book a tour with. Thanks!

We are going for the first time and want some feedback from someone who’s been there :)

I would like to go on a trip to Ireland sometime after May in 2009. I would be taking around 5 family members with me. Can anyone recommend a tour website? I would like airfare, at least some meals, and guided tours included in the package. I would prefer sometime in the 7-10 day range for the trip. I don’t want to have to worry about a sketchy tour service.

I’m wondering if biking around Ireland would be a good idea, or just a treacherous one. I don’t mind the slow pace and not getting to see the entire island, I’m mostly concerned about the road conditions, bad weather and safety issues. Is it worth it or should I stick to driving?
