This was my first trip to Ireland and it was an eye-opener! Alex and Amy planned a wonderful and exciting week exploring Dublin and Galway. Our hotels were comfortable and accommodating. We visited out of the way restaurants and historical sites, guided by charming locals who were familiar with their cities and their fascinating history. The Guinness brewery was a fascinating visit, culminating with a pint of beer! There was a day in each city for individual exploration. Even though they couldn’t have planned the weather, it only rained on the first day with the rest of our excursion beautifully cool and sunny. I am looking forward to joining them on their next European destination.

On our recent trip to Ireland: Dublin, Gallway and the Aran Islands we had a fabulous time. Alex and Amy Drywa of St. Augustine Experiences/Europe With Friends, our hosts and organizers had all the details covered. The hotels were very nice, clean, centrally located and they included delicious breakfast every morning. There was a nice balance of group tours and meals with plenty of time to explore on your own. On your own time they had a list of recommended things to do, places of interest, pubs, and restaurants making it easy to plan your day. They are seasoned tour guides and knowledgeable about the cities visited and were always available to answer any question you might have. The local tour guides were full of knowledge; with secret spots you would never find on your own. They were fun and entertaining and explained the unique history of Ireland and the Irish people. It was definitely a five-star experience! If you are looking for a fun vacation where you can explore and learn about the history, meet new people and make new friends, I highly recommend a trip with Alex and Amy – Europe With Friends. We would definitely travel with them again in the future.

This was a once in a lifetime trip!! Alex and Amy created such an amazing time for each and every one of us, introducing us to one another, and making sure everyone was taken care of. There were a perfect amount of activities and free time. Not to mention the amazing boat cruise of the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. I loved every second and was sad to leave! I might go again next year! Book book book!!

This was a wonderful trip! It was nice to have such well-traveled, knowledgeable, nice, and accommodating hosts as we traveled through Dublin and Galway. It's a trip I'll never forget and will treasure for the rest of my life. Alex and Amy are the best! Can't wait to go on another one!
