Efficient fulfillment of individual wishes for Ireland
The consultation for a trip to Ireland was carried out by Mr. Diebold in a very professional and friendly manner. He responded well and very quickly to my wishes and later change requests.
Our trip to Ireland was an experience that will never be forgotten. The wild, rugged mountain landscape, forested areas in the mountains with lakes nestled in between — all bathed in autumn colors — magnificent scenery, rugged coastlines, charming villages, castles, fortresses, ruins with fascinating history, and the friendly, helpful people far exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Tourlane, everything went perfectly!
Very competent planning and proposal for our planned round trip through Ireland. Flights, accommodations, rental car, and booked excursions made the trip something special. Even rebookings during the trip were handled by the support team and taken care of promptly. Gladly again — the price-performance ratio is right!
