We signed up for a 5-day Northern Ireland tour. I wouldn't say avoid, as there aren't that many choices on the market anyway. But it's definitely not as good as they advertise themselves in my opinion.

Poor arrangement: As our group was mixed with people of 1-day tour on 1st day and joined by people of 9-day tour on 2nd day, we ended up visiting the small town of Cong TWICE.

Unprofessional tour guide: Our guide was far from a guide - more like a driver. Most of the time he's just murmuring introduction. So unhelpful that he didn't even bother to close the coach door. I guess this part depends largely on luck - did see some good reviews about good guides.

Accommodation was alright.

One good thing about the tour is that it doesn't include meals (surprise!). So at least we got to choose what to eat and actually enjoyed some really good restaurants. Otherwise I would have a bad impression of Ireland, sorry.
