FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to some common questions
The Tour
What type of tour is on offer?
We are offering an Irish Music Session experience. Our tours will travel from either Dublin or Donegal, (depending on the package), to various destinations around the country. Each night we will stop in a different location and have a session in one of the local music pubs. While travelling between towns, we will stop at some of the well known Tourist Attractions and Heritage sites. These tours are unique as we have our own group of musicians travelling along with us so expect a few sing-songs along the way!
The tours will only travel between towns already mentioned; however, subject to availability, daily activities may change to suit particular groups needs.

Dublin Airport is the most convenient airport to fly into as some of our tours depart from Dublin City Center. For tours leaving from Donegal Town you can get the 030 Bus Eireann service from Dublin to Donegal Town. *Airport transfers are not included in the price*

Yes. We can only allow for one small suitcase per person or one large suitcase per couple (plus instruments)
Are there any age restrictions?
The tour itself has no age restrictions. However, due to Irish licensing laws, children under the age of 18 are not allowed on licensed premises after 10pm during the summer season. As our tour centres around public houses and bars, it is up to the parent to arrange any childcare needs after 10pm.
