Our first RS tour to Ireland in August. Very excited!
We're not usually early risers but always adjust when on vacation. Just wondering, in general, what time does the bus load and tours begin in the morning?

Welcome to the forum!
Most people on the forum don't go on the tours, so it's best to mention that in your title, and post in the tour section.

I haven't done the Ireland tour, but in general, RS tour starts vary according to the day's agenda. I'd say the average bus loading time is 8:30 to 9.

I've been on 9 tours and agree with Liz. Although a slightly earlier time has been necessary due to timing of museum reservations.

Just went back and looked at my pictures of our Ireland tour. The guide put up a schedule of the next day’s events in the lobby each evening and it’s a good idea to take a photo of it.. Most of the days we were to be ready to go at 8:30. There was a couple of 9 am as well as a couple of 8 am. Keep in mind that each guide can be different and it depends on the activity for that day.

Thanks, everyone!
This was kind of what I expected, but was good to hear from those who have been on these tours.
Cheers!
