Destination Information

This tour is an intimate experience limited to a maximum of 5 travelers, including your tour guide, for a total group size of 5 people.
Travel Documents
Ensure you have a valid passport. Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return date and have at least two consecutive blank pages. US citizens do not require a visa for short stays in Ireland. Detailed information on travel requirements will be provided after final payment.
Air Travel Arrangements
Travelers are responsible for booking their own flights once the trip is confirmed and they receive notification from SueQ Travel. Assistance with flight bookings is available if needed.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is not included in the tour cost. It is your responsibility to choose the amount and type of coverage needed to recoup your travel investment in case of cancellation, inability to complete the tour, or operational issues. Refer to SueQ Travel Terms & Conditions for details on payment procedures if the tour cannot operate. SueQ Travel is not licensed to sell travel insurance. Highly recommended providers include Allianz Travel Insurance and TravelGuard.
Luggage Guidelines
Travel lightly, as most travelers regret overpacking. You may bring one medium-sized luggage plus one personal item (i.e., backpack or purse). All airlines enforce their own baggage policies. You are responsible for any baggage fees. Be prepared to handle your own luggage everywhere you go. Our main source of transportation will be by car, so you will need to manage your luggage at various stops. There is limited space in the accommodation for large loads of luggage.
Fitness
Suitable for travelers who enjoy moderate physical activities. This tour involves regular walking, possibly including some uneven terrain or stairs. Approx. Walking Distance: 2-4 miles per day. Examples: Walking tours, visits to multiple attractions, short hikes.
Health Standards
Ireland has excellent health and hygiene standards. No specific vaccinations are required, but ensure routine vaccinations are up-to-date.
Staying Connected
Your tour guide will have a portable WiFi that you'll be able to use when near your guide. If you would like service away from your guide, contact your cell phone provider about international plans, as most carriers offer flat daily rates. Manage data usage by using WiFi and communication apps like WhatsApp. Learn how to make international calls before you leave.
Adapters and Voltage
Purchase a universal adapter that supports various sockets/plugs. Verify your electronic devices' voltage requirements, as Ireland operates on 230V. Most modern electronics are multi-voltage; consult your owner's manual for details.
Cash and Cards
Budget for travel, meals, snacks, drinks, shopping, and tips. Carry some cash for splitting bills and smaller purchases. Notify your credit card issuer about your travel dates. Use ATMs for cash, but be cautious as foreign countries may limit daily withdrawals. Know your PIN for both debit and credit cards. Credit cards are widely accepted, but be aware of foreign transaction fees. Choose local currency for transactions to avoid conversion fees.
Currency
Northern Ireland uses the Pound Sterling (GBP).
Tipping
You are responsible for tipping waitstaff, porters, or other service providers at hotels or public locations. Tipping is not mandatory in Northern Ireland, but a tip of around 5-10% for exceptional service is appreciated. Consider tipping your SueQ Travel tour guide $8-$10 per day for outstanding service, but this is entirely a personal preference.
Payment Information:
25% down payment due at the time of booking
Final payment due 90 days before travel.
Monthly payments can be set up.
If you have signed up for the trip and it is confirmed (meaning, we have the minimum number of travelers to go), you will be responsible for the entire tour amount even if you cancel.
This is part of the reason why travel insurance is so highly recommended!
