Groupon travel deals - UPDATE Ireland booked!

[Scupra]

Has anyone ever purchased a travel deal from Groupon? Currently looking at a deal they have to Ireland and was wondering if anyone here had some experiences

2/15/17 Update: So we decided to book the 8 day Ireland trip! I guess I will let you all know how it is

Nice! Let us know how it goes. 

My tip is to always read/look for reviews.

I have seen that trip on there a few times and thought about booking it myself. I'd love to hear what you think about it.

We are scheduled for May 9-16th and I will absolutely let you know! Reserved flight and will be flying British Airways. Now to plan out the B&B's we stay at. They use a voucher system so you can pick where you would like to stay.

Finding in depth reviews was not the easiest in this case. Super excited and will take lots of pictures for everyone.

My boss took this trip and he loved it. He's a cranky old fart too, so that's saying something. His favorite part was the castle tours.

Enjoy your trip.  Please do yourself a favor and spend as much time as you can outside of Dublin.  It is pretty much like any large US City.  Instead, visit places like Galway and Killarney.

So glad to hear some reviews! Thank you so much

@Anonymous I think we fly in to Dublin and stay one night there. I want to see the Blarney Castle/Stone and I know DW wants to see the cliffs of Moher. Any must haves we should do? Thank you so much!

The cliffs of moher are awesome.   Be prepared to be wind blown.  There are a lot of nice tourist places in Ireland but I really feel like you need to see small towns like those I mentioned to get a real feel for Ireland.  SW Ireland is very beautiful and lots to eat, drink and be merry  Just stay away from political talk 

edit it to add that you might consider picking up a recent copy Fodor's Guide to Ireland 🇮🇪
