Best of Ireland Tour Pace
We recently returned from out 6th Tauck Tour,The Best of Ireland and I would like to recommend Improvements. First, the trip around the Ring of Dingle was the most frustrating experience that I have ever had with Tauck. If you are on the right side of the bus YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING and there was only one brief stop before the Blasket Center! Also, For the entire trip it seemed that we were wizzing by beautiful vistas and getting nothing more than a blurred photo through the bus window. If you had more photo stops the trip would have been less frustrating.

This makes me sad. I thought there were stops almost everywhere. I guess I will sit on the left side of the bus.
I just returned from "The Best of Ireland" tour that ended Sep23. It was an awesome trip. If you are lucky enough to get Mary as your director and John your bus driver you are in for a real treat. I agree with Clyde's comment regarding the trip to the Dingle Peninsula with the exception of not stoping for photo ops. I think it was a safety issue. I too was unfortunately assigned a seat on the right side of the bus. You see nothing but a blur of green grass, the occasional sheep and rock walls for over three hours. To give all guests a chance to see the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean I believe there is simple solution After the visit to the Blasket center instead of returning to Dingle by continuing out further on the peninsula and returning to Dingle by the inland route just reverse the bus direction on the coast road and right hand side will get the scenic view on the return.
Was this Problem Addressed?
Did the Bus Change it Route to bypass all of this wasted time, and/or make adjustments to give us Photo Ops so we could get out and stretch our legs while Photographing the Beautiful Landscapes?
We are going on this Trip in a few and I am interested in hearing if this slight Discomfort was Addressed!
I have to say that we looked at other tour companies that had the same agenda, but not the same hotels. Just staying at these most beautiful places was worth the small difference in price. I would not recommend taking this trip with anyone but Tauck.
Wonderful, Thank you very much!
Motion Compensation on the Camera's depending on what brand normally works fine from Bus Windows!
I've shot a few Castle's while our Tauck Bus was going down the Highway in Scotland!!!
The View From the Bus was Outstanding no matter where you were sitting!!! Granted the Ride was very narrow and not a whole Lot of Places to stop but shooting through the window was Not a Problem for me and/or my Equipment!
Melissa our Tour Guide and Leslie our Driver did an absolutely Outstanding performance in bringing us around and about this marvelous Trip!!! Thank you very much to the Both of Them!
Somebody also mentioned the Westin Hotel in Dublin? Wonderful Hotel! Directly in the Center of Town not far from anything and anyplace you might want to visit! The Accommodations at All the Hotels were always up to Par just Like All the Other Tauck Adventures we have been on! Don't understand what the complaint was but we Did Not have that experience!
Now, just to be Nice I am going to try and Post One of my many Images from this Trip!
Here is One I had shot at Dingle Marina for your enjoyment!!
