All refunds are subject to a 10% administration charge. We reserve the right to refuse admission to any tour and to terminate a tour if circumstances demand.

Yes. For example, if you wish to leave one of our tours in Galway, you are free to do so. However, please advise your Railtours host on the day, otherwise, they will be worried about you! Please note that there is no refund for any unused portions of the tour.

If you wish to extend your tour and spend an overnight in Cork, Killarney, Galway, and Belfast we can arrange accommodation, subject to availability.

We do not use &nbsp;first class on the train as first-class rail transport is extremely limited and available only on certain trains on three routes in Ireland. For operational reasons, all Railtours Ireland customers sit together in a specially reserved car or portion of a car with their host.

There are luggage facilities onboard trains &amp; coaches and we try to keep luggage transfers between the trains and coaches to a minimum.

It is recommended that large excess amounts of luggage be stored, perhaps, at your Dublin hotel for the duration of your rail tour. We advise that you only bring what you are comfortable lifting on/off trains &amp; coaches. However, there is no luggage restriction.

Getting to Ireland is easy. While we do not offer flights, we recommend Aer Lingus for the widest selection of routes and best value from North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia.

Remember, if you are returning to the USA from Ireland you can take advantage of pre-clearance, which is unique to Ireland, and arrive home as a domestic passenger avoiding the queues at immigration.

You can also take the ferry from The United Kingdom to Ireland.

Railtours Ireland First Class is what&rsquo;s known in the travel/tourism industry as a FIT tour product. This means that it attracts &ldquo;Free Independent Travellers&rdquo; of all ages and nationalities. What these travelers have in common is a desire to have a unique touring experience in Ireland, one in which they are free to explore Ireland&#39;s towns, cities, countryside and attractions at their own pace, while also availing of a wonderfully constructed itinerary and knowledgeable hosts.

Our tours also offer a comfortable and eco-conscious way to explore the island of Ireland without having to drive.

Our tours are conducted in English only. However, we can provide detailed itineraries in all major European languages if we are informed of your requirements in advance. Also, at key visitor attractions in Ireland, multiple language literature is generally available.

As long as you have some mobility, our tours would be suitable for you.

The trains are wheelchair friendly in Ireland however, most coaches are not wheelchair accessible so you would be required to get on and off the coach unaided by Railtours Ireland staff.

If you need extra walking assistance, you may bring a light-weight foldable wheelchair that can be stowed in the luggage compartment. It is with regret that we cannot accommodate mobility scooters on our tours.

Please ensure that you advise us when booking a tour, that you will be using a wheelchair or other medical equipment so that we can make the necessary arrangements in the train stations ahead of time.

On any tour to Belfast or the Giant&rsquo;s Causeway and Game of Thrones, you will be leaving the Republic of Ireland and entering the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

Please ensure that your visa requirements are in order, and it is essential that you carry your passport.

Travel West By Train

This one-day tour from Dublin offers a unique opportunity to visit Inis M&oacute;r, the largest of the three Aran Islands and one of the most popular vacation destinations in Ireland. Set on the West Coast of Ireland in the mouth of Galway Bay, Inis M&oacute;r is a bastion of the traditional Irish language, culture, and music, unique in its geology, archaeology, and history.

Check-in is 20 minutes prior to Train Departure Time.

Check-in is located close to the Customer Service Desk at Heuston Station where our Railtours Ireland representative will be waiting for you in their bright yellow jacket!

&nbsp;

Check-in for 07:35 departure from Dublin Heuston Station opened in 1844 as the headquarters of the Great Southern &amp; Western Railway and is now the official principal station of Iarnr&oacute;d &Eacute;ireann, Ireland&rsquo;s national railway company. As your train departs, we travel in a south-westerly direction, through Dublin&#39;s western suburbs and then through the lush, fertile countryside of Co. Kildare. Our journey takes us through the Curragh which is famous for its racecourse, home of the Irish Derby, and there are many stud farms in the vicinity. Your route takes you into the midlands and the Bog of Allen, vast tracts of peat-land. We pass through the County Town of Tullamore and then to Clara across the gentle farmlands of north Offaly. The train crosses the Shannon River which marks the historic border between the province of Leinster and Connacht &ndash; the historic province of the West of Ireland. You are now heading due west, surrounded by peat bog on both sides of the line. On the last few kilometers before Galway, you will get your first glimpse of Galway Bay.

&nbsp;

Arrive into Galway where you will be brought to the Aer Arann mini-coach for transfer to Connemara Airport for your short flight to Inis M&oacute;r. Irish is the spoken language on the Aran Islands, although the locals will be more than happy to speak to you in English. For many, the highlight of the tour is the formidable pre-Christian fort of D&uacute;n Aonghusa, with its spectacular sea-cliffs on the western side and unspoiled views of the Atlantic Ocean.

&nbsp;

Flight times may vary occasionally to cater for the numbers flying.

 
Notes on Aran:

Your tour of Inis M&oacute;r begins and ends at the island&#39;s airport and includes stops at &#39;The Seven Churches&#39; (15 minutes), D&uacute;n Aonghusa (75 minutes) and Kilronan village for lunch (45 minutes).

&nbsp;

On arrival back at Galway, you will be brought to the Tourist Office. You now should have some time in Galway city center for exploring and/or shopping.

&nbsp;

Please note: Should weather conditions be such as to curtail flights you will be taken on an alternative tour to Connemara and refunded the difference. 
No further refund is available should you decide not to go to Connemara for any reason.
