The wife wants to tour Ireland on our vacation this year. We are going to book with a tour company that visits a route near the coast, around the entire island, Ireland and Northern Ireland. This will probably be the only time that we will visit Ireland in our lifetime. My question is should we extend our stay, rent a car and visit places that the tour doesn't? What say those who have been there? What say those who live there?
