Small Group Ireland Tours 2027

Hold My Seats for 5 days (free)

Need a few days to finalise your plans? With My Ireland Tour, you can place your seats on hold for five days, free of charge. It's part of the service.

Take your time, we'll hold your seats

We understand that it can sometimes take a few days to get the little details organised — booking your flights, confirming time off, even arranging pet care. That's why we now offer a free 5-day seat hold — a simple way to reserve your places on the tour while you finalise your travel plans, with no payment required. Now you can get everything organised without worrying about whether the tour spaces will still be available by the time everything else is booked. Once you're ready, simply return to confirm your booking.

And if, for some reason, your plans don't work out, then no problem — your spaces will automatically release back to general availability after 5 days.

How to put your seats on hold

Just go to book your tour as normal and select the "Hold My Seats" option at checkout.

(Please note: To keep things fair for everyone, we ask that you only place a hold on one tour date at a time. Thank you.)
