Exploring Ireland 8 Quality Commitments:
Why should you choose Exploring Ireland? We are passionate about Ireland and this is why we are different:
1. 100% No Risk
In Ireland it is not a legal requirement for travel companies to be bonded and insured, 
and many Irish tour operators aren’t. At Exploring Ireland we are fully bonded by the Irish Tour Operators Association (ITOA), which offers you total financial protection and peace of mind that your vacation booking is always safe and secure.
2. 100% Peace of Mind
For double peace of mind, we are members of the America Society of Travel Agents 
(ASTA) and have been since 2007. You can contact them and they will confirm with over 6,500 visitors was have never had a single complaint or negative comment registered with them.
3. Strict Accommodation Standards: Only the best passes our test!
Don’t get caught by operators that use the national accommodation approval system. In Ireland there are many B&B’s & Hotels that fall short of the high standards you expect, but are passed by the tourist board and given a star rating. For you and our other customers, this isn’t good enough.That’s why we have invested time and money to develop our own approved list of accommodations. All the accommodation that we recommend has been personally inspected for quality and approved by our expert team. So rest assured you will not be disappointed by your accommodation – only the best passes our test!

We have just arrived home from the most magnificent trip we had ever been on! Ireland is absolutely magical and beautiful! Thank you for answering all my trivial questions and for arranging such a wonderful tour. The locals were very helpful in guiding us to other sights of interest. The accommodations were wonderful, especially the Tinakilly House and Maranatha B&B. We have only been home for a couple of days and already I am longing to return to your beautiful country. Once again, thank you so much for everything.
