I had a wonderful time. Our group experienced staying at great castles & other hotels along with an excellent bus. The coach driver was very professional and good. Our 3 tour guides; Mya, Seamus and dustin kept us entertained with great story-telling and organizing fun activities, Mya did wonderful work of the ligistics and keeping us happy. Dustin ran the the ghostly onvestigations and Seamus told us the stories about the irish places we visited which was knowlegable and witty. Overall, the trip was an adventure and well worthwhile.

I can’t put into words how magical Ireland was…..It was above and beyond!! Dustin, Maria, Bob, Maya, Pat, Seamus, and all the new friends I made along this journey have been a true blessing. I can not wait until the next one:)

Maria the owner of this business was on our trip so she could verify this trip was worth doing again. She also had a variety of support folks to help. Even before we did the trip we did Zoom meetings and got lots of pointers on things we should do to be sure our trip was enjoyable. Our tour guide was fun, full of interesting facts and lore. He is willing to try anything and was such a good sport about joining in on our adventures. Our coach bus was great and the driver knew where he was going and even he chimed in with some great info. We also had Dustin Pari from Ghost Hunters on our bus who talked about ghost hunting and his adventures that helped to pass the time. He was also integral part of the investigation aspect of the trip explaining techniques that would work at the different haunted locations. When the pre-scheduled locations didn't work out Maria was able to find wonderful substitute locations to keep the trip interesting and fun. Plus I needed a doctor due to bronchitis and she was able to get a doctor just minutes away from the hotel. The Fairies made sure we had a great time as the weather was sunny and warm. I would give this trip a big thumbs up and would go on one of Maria's Mysterious Adventures again.

Be open to outcomes, not attached to them. Be receptive to the possibilities, letting go of the expectations you brought with you from home. It’s in the title, Mysterious Adventures. This is not your typical ‘dot the I’s cross the t’s’ type of tour. There were a few bumps in the road. Not to say that there isn’t an outrageous amount of planning and hard work in the background by this tour company, but you are forewarned that this is indeed “-ish” territory. “-ish” means change… change of itinerary last minute, change of scheduling (i.e. Plan B), change of hotels (“what is the combination to make THIS shower work?” LOL), but the MA team ALWAYS worked it to the best possible outcome. How does one take the big 'woo-woo' vision and put it to paper? If not this, then this... and it worked out just fine. And while you may lose your footing with “-ish” territory, it can become a beautiful, magical thing once you get out of your own way and let the ‘mysterious adventure’ take you where it will. After a ‘minute’, that’s what I did, and I was better for it. This tour company packs 2-3 days of wonderment into 1 day. It’s hard to remember on any one day what you did the day before. But I can assure you that each day was a full day of interweaving the magic and the woo-woo, with such powerful history, walking through Heritage sites, meeting people that live lives differently from those you’ll see in the office on Monday morning. These folks bring such a kind, mystical, and welcoming perspective – something you will definitely bring home with you. Trust me, you do bring the mystical back home with you – the grounds we walked were quite powerful and their effect won’t wear off any time soon. And as a diverse group of 29 people that spent a LOT of time together, I believe whatever Ireland is, whatever grounds we walked on, whatever fantastical ideas we entertained, it brought us closer together. And that was a wonderful thing. Dustin Pari is a wonderful person to interact with as an investigator and friend, as was Seamus our tour guide, Mya, our MA rep, and Pat, our coach driver. Behind 'mom & dad' Maria & Bob, this team was solution-oriented, supportive, funny, and really made the week come together. Definitely recommend.

I had such a great time on this trip! It was packed full of meaningful experiences, ancient castles, historical sites, and spectacular views. The Mysterious Adventures staff and Ambassador Dustin Pari made this trip unforgettable. Our top notch coach driver, Pat, and wonderful tour guide, Seamus, added a special touch of Irish hospitality and lots of fun! As a solo traveler, I felt very safe in the locations we visited and the hotel accommodations were nice and comfortable. If I had to choose a favorite thing about the trip, it would be watching a group of strangers come together in a beautiful and magical place, sharing deep and meaningful experiences, having as much fun as humanly possible, and building lasting friendships. Thank you, Mysterious Adventures for such a beautiful trip!
