Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Western Ireland is not to be missed with Joyce of Joyce’s Ireland Tours! It was seriously amazing: the sights and all the wonderful women journeying together across the beautiful western Ireland 🇮🇪! Joyce is the perfect and most knowledgeable guide to the legends and wonders of the magical beauty that is Ireland. My pictures are grand however seeing it in person with Joyce is so much better, not to mention more fun! Accommodations were incredibly comfortable and quaint; meals and snacks included were delicious; such interesting and delightful traveling companions turning into new friends! I’m planning my next trip with Joyce for 2024!

This trip was totally more than five stars! I had the best time. Joyce was an exceptional trip leader and curated a trip that was amazing start to finish. I have been on womens walking trips with other organizations and Joyce’s Ireland trip I did in October was a much higher caliber than anything I have experienced. I just got home this week and I’m already thinking of booking another trip with Joyce. Thank you Joyce for a really special experience. :)

Joyce's Women Into the West walking tour was all that I had hoped for and more. Joyce took care of all the arrangements: beautiful and comfortable hotel and bed and breakfast stays of 2 nights each, delicious meals and snacks, hikes/walks through interesting scenic places on an Aran Island, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, etc. - all with outstanding views and interesting scenery. Joyce led the hikes, except had a local guide for the Burren. She is well organized but is flexible depending upon the weather and needs of the group. I highly recommend her tours and hope to go on her walking tour in Northern Ireland in 2024.

Along with three friends, I participated with eight women on an Into the West walking tour. Joyce's equipment list was an excellent guide for my packing. Each person on the walk was considered as Joyce planned our days, taking into account wind and rain on this Fall walk. As we ambled along members of our group and others were talking about joining together for a future walking tour with Joyce, perhaps in England.

My mom and I just finished Joyce’s walking tour of Western Ireland, and we had an absolutely wonderful trip! The food, accommodations and beautiful scenery exceeded our expectations by far. Additionally, Joyce’s coordination of every detail meant we could focus on just having a fun adventure in an incredibly gorgeous part of the world. Joyce has a depth of experience and relationships with local folks which means we often experienced a road less traveled. I highly recommend Joyce’s tours and we hope to join her again next year!

Highlights of Wine & Walking in Provence:
° Accommodation at a centuries-old priory that had authentic historical charm along with modern amenities.
° Time with friends who share a love of nature, good wine, excellent food.
° Tours of wineries and vineyards; hands-on experience of harvesting; seeing how grapes are prepared to turn into a vat; seeing and touching grapes at the top of a vat; tasting wines in progress. Visiting with vintners whose families have built and maintained wineries for generations.
Joyce's Tours continue to delight and surprise to make every day a rewarding adventure.

I had a fabulous week with Joyce and a tour group in Provence, wine and walking with local guide Pierre Peyret. Joyce's attention to detail, and her ability to keep all things running smoothly at all times, is remarkable! We had a wonderful week of walking, wine-tasting, insight to the local wine industry, food beyond compare and best of all, FUN! All at the amazing location of Le Prieuré La Madelène under the sensitive care of our hosts Olivier & Bruno. Thank you all so much.

I had a wonderful trip with Joyce and a fabulous group of individuals in Northern Ireland. It was beautiful, fun, and different every day. Joyce gave us all the flexibility to walk at our own paces and the group was small enough that we all got to know eachother well. We had a lot of laughs, enjoyed the food, and the inns were beautiful and charming. Joyce has longstanding relationships with many of the inn owners and tour guides, which says so much -- everyone was so welcoming and knowledgeable. This was my third tour with Joyce and there will be more!

A wonderful experience walking the vineyards and villages in Provence and hiking Mont Ventoux. Days were active and the nights great fun with wine tastings and great company! I find this the perfect way to travel... with Joyces Hiking Tours. I know wherever she goes, the trip will be well planned and executed but in a friendly, casual manner. Always 5 stars with Joyce!

Dear SkierOntaria, we don't have any five day tours in Ireland. However, we have a 7 day tour called "Into the West" this visits the Aran Islands, the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and the Burren Region of County Clare. The hikes on this tour are all easy to moderate. We stay in a fine selection of guest houses (2 nights in each place) and dine in excellent restaurants. The fully inclusive price is $2999. The meeting and end point is Shannon Airport. We have space available at the moment on this tour in June and July. For full details, please see the Joyce's Ireland Hiking Tours website. If you have any questions, I can help. I hope to meet you in Ireland this year!
Joyce
