Rory's Travel Club was set up to inspire people to travel and
save a little along the way. With that in mind we've
developed an incredible community with our members
whom we share offers and discounts with for both Ireland
and abroad.
Each week our members receive between 3 - 5 emails filled
with offers from our Irish accommodation partners, the best
value flights for international destinations and information
on the group trips we organise both home and abroad.
Our aim is to encourage our members to travel more, save
more and make memories and at the same time support
our accommodation and travel partners with direct
bookings and access to an audience looking to travel.

Rory’s Travel Club: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing hotel stay at Harveys Point Hotel, Co Donegal through Rorys Travel Club. B&B, plus Dinner, thee biggest hotel room i have ever stayed in. What an experience, fabulous hotel. Iook forward to more trips away through RTC, well worth signing up to this club.
Fantastic experience: Camino 27.08-03.09.2025 Siúl me an Camino 6 lá ó Santiago go Finisterre go Muxía leis an gcomhlacht seo. Mar fhear 76 bliain d’aois, mé neirbhéiseach riomh thus an turais Chlúdaíomar 150KM i 5/6 lá, gan deifir — ag do luas féin thar chnoic, gleannta, príomhbhóithre agus cosáin salacha. Bhí an lóistín den scoth agus an t-iompar ar fheabhas. Trua faoin aimsir — meascán de gach cineál — ach rinneamar gáire tríd an bpian agus an bháisteach. Bhí 3 fhear agus 15 bhean sa ghrúpa agus bhí an-chraic againn. Fiú tar éis lá siúil, le béile maith tráthnóna, bhíomar réidh le siúl arís chun radharcanna áitiúla agus tithe tábhairne a fheiceáil. Tháinig muid le chéile mar strainséirí ach d’fhágamar mar chairde. Tá súil agam Muxía go Santiago — 75KM — a dhéanamh chun an lúb a chríochnú. Chualathas Gaeilge ón ngrúpa ar ár dturas. Go raibh maith agat, a Eoin Garvey, ár gceannaire, as do chomhairle agus do thuiscint.
Fantastic experience: Never met as many nice people in one day in my life. It's the way to go if your are on your own but like nice company to share your adventures and meals.
Negative experience: Just booked my first holiday with Rory's club and got big. They say you will save if you are member. But when I checked later, I overpaid 100euro! I paid 400eu, but I could get everything same for 300eu,if I was booking by my self. And they said 10kg bag included, but all I got is small bag under seat.
Hi Joanna
Which holiday did you book?
I’m sure if you look at like for like (transfers, expert help, deposit options, room type etc) there would have been some sort discrepancy.
Also, with travel prices can also go up and down - which is something we cannot control - but I assume you were happy with the €400 price when you paid.
Please contact us and we will look into this directly and give you a better explanation once we see the numbers.
Thanks
RTC
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic deal at the Croke Park Hotel through Rory's Travel Club. Can't recommend them highly enough, I have told everyone I meet!! Booking my next holiday through them tomorrow If you want a great deal and fantastic service sign up, you won't be disappointed ! (Pictures are of the executive lounge that we had the use of during our stay, you can see Croke Park just across the road)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience using Rorys Travel. We had a gala dinner, night away, prosecco reception, entertainment and breakfast next morning all for 115 euro each. I have used Rorys Travels several times now, and can't recommend highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Been a member of Rory’s travel group for couple of years now and found loads of good deals, went on out first group deal in Galway and met such lovely people and had the best night, I’d highly recommend everyone to join, great value for only €12 a year as he does all the work in finding the holiday deals. Keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: I travelled to Rio Christmas 2024 as a solo traveler with a group of 60+ people, can honestly say it was the best experience of my life and I met life long friendship's from it, thanks to Rory's travel club you inspired me to start travel again and can't wait for my next group trip, I'd advise everyone to join and see what it's about it'll be the best €12 you ever spent guaranteed
Fantastic experience: Have booked Galway trip to Menlo Park Hotel this weekend and have Belfast Deal booked for March. The savings on this alone has covered the €12 fee for a couple of years. GREAT DEALS
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Rory’s Travel Club for providing us with one of the best hotel deals I have seen. We stayed in The Lodge at Ashford and were treated like royals. €137 pp for b&b, breakfast, welcome drink, 2 course dinner and access to Ashford Castle grounds. I cannot speak highly enough of Rorys Travels!!
Fantastic experience: Best club you'll ever join. No more waiting for friends to decide if they can go on holiday. Sign up, pick where you fancy and go and meet your new friends. WhatsApp chats and zoom calls will help before you meet at the airport gate. Met the nicest of people on my trip. Thank you Rory for this life changing club. Just do it....the only thing you'll regret are the things you didn't do!
Fantastic experience: Wow what a great holiday . I went to Marrakesh with 40 strangers and came back with friends . Rory was in contact with us on our group chat all the time. Posted activities and suggested places to eat. For the price of a tiny subscription it is worth its weight in gold. Great experience .
Fantastic experience: I've always wanted to travel and see the world, but as a single (older) female, I was afraid to do so on my own. Now, because of Rorys Travel Club I have the ability to fulfill my dreams. When I arrived at Dublin airport last Tuesday for my first Rorys Travel Group trip to Marrakesh, I actually felt sick with nerves. I thought to myself, what in the name god have I done this time, travelling with 40+ random strangers, and for one brief moment, I considered getting back on the bus home. However, I had no need to worry. I've just had one of the best holidays of my life. I've seen some of this beautiful country with beautiful people. We've shared life stories, we've laughed, cried, and then laughed some more. We left as strangers, but I'm returning with 40+ new friends and travel buddies. Anna
Fantastic experience: Just back from Marrakech and we had the most amazing holiday. We had a jam-packed 4 days with balloon ride, quad bike, camel ride, trip to the Atlas mountains, tour of the souks, markets and so much more.. Hotel Blueseas printemps was great and to top it all we made some lovely new friends. Best 12e we ever spent.
Fantastic experience: Signed up for the Marrakech group trip, travelled solo and met 40 of the most remarkable people, all strangers and parting as friends for life. All ages embarking on camel rides, quad treks, hot air ballooning, museum, gardens site visits.. with the same sense of wonder and excitement. All like-minded, embracing every second of this truly wonderful adventure. Thank you so much Rory and team for providing people with choices and options on seeing the whole world without fear, You don't realise what you do for people. If you get a chance to take one of these trips.. grab it with both hands, it's life changing!
Fantastic experience: Just home from 4 nights in Chicago as a group trip with Rorys Travel Club ,such a fantastic few days didn't no any of the group but we got on so well I would highly recommend if you are a solo traveller as it was my first venture I hope to travel again with Rorys and maybe meet some of the great people I met on this outing
Fantastic experience: Delighted I signed up to Rory's Travel Club I have availed of two hotel breaks so far and both of them have been in fabulous hotels with excellent deals. I would like to do one of the group trips which look fantastic so hopefully next year. I would highly recommend Rory's Travel Club-keep up the good work Rory and thank you
Fantastic experience: Have booked 3 Irish hotel deals and have saved well over the annual subscription ! Great deals on offer
Fantastic experience: We spent two nights in The Haven Hotel Dunmore East. The hotel is beautiful, old world. The staff are fantastic, very efficient and friendly. The offer was one night bed and breakfast and a main course at dinner for€139 for two people. Food was delicious. I would definitely go back.
Fantastic experience: Just back from my first trip with RTC (Group trip to Zurich) and it was absolutely amazing. From start to finish Rory and Tom in Marble City Travel were great to deal with. The hotel was great value for money and in a fab location. We had two days of bus trips which took us to Interlaken (an absolute must see), Grindlewald, Lucerne and Rhinefalls and we saved over €100 each thanks to Tom and Rory organising the coach for us. The highlight of the trip was the company, it was a fantastic mix of people from all over Ireland brought together by RTC and so many fab memories were made. The €12 membership fee is unbelievable value for what members get. I'd highly recommend joining, looking forward to many more trips with Rorys Travel Club!
Fantastic experience: Just back from our mini cruise to France with Rorys Travel Club. We had a brilliant time great value for money. Well organised. Previously booked a spa day through them aswell. Looking forward to our next trip
Fantastic experience: Booked a lovely night away at Powerscourt Springs. I have to say it was an amazing chilled out night away. Unbelievable value for money. Just before we travelled up, we read some reviews on tripadvisor for this hotel, and they were very negative. But I decided to trust Rorys Travel Club as I knew every hotel was checked out before deals were offered. We were delighted with our stay and I have booked again with friends for late October.
Fantastic experience: Just back from my first (and most certainly not my last) group trip to Boston with Rory’s Group Travel. Rory and his team go above and beyond constantly keeping you updated on details of the trip, from suggested itineraries to group zoom calls prior to departure which makes the solo traveller feel totally at ease. Rory was on our trip and was always on hand to answer any questions. The most down to earth guy that deserves all the luck growing Rory’s Travel. Thanks again for all your hard works guys
Fantastic experience: Just back from an amazing first solo trip away with Rory’s travel club to Boston. What can I say. It was fantastic from start to finish. Boston is a beautiful city to visit, so clean and safe. There is so much to see and do and great food choices for all tastes. Will definitely be booking another trip away with Rory. If you’re on the fence about joining or doing a trip, I would highly recommend it. Life is for living. Cheers Rory and team
Fantastic experience: What a fabulous trip from start to finish 1st time in Boston loved it Lovely group of people hotel and flights were great. I would 100 percent recommend Rory’s travels ☀️☀️
Fantastic experience: Great deals and good customer service, well worth the €12
Fantastic experience: I joined RTC 2 years ago to visit new places and make new friends. I was certainly not disappointed. It exceeded my expectionations 100 fold. I have visited 20 cities here in Ireland and many parts of Europe with some of the greatest bunch of people I have met in my 71 years. The craic is mighty and leaves a wonderful lasting memory. I was a solo traveller on my first trip to Donegal.....not any more. Strangers for 5 minutes, then friends for life. There is only one problem......where is my next trip... I would highly recommend joining up . Nothing to lose and so much to gain.
Fantastic experience: Great travel company have been on loads of trips highly recommended meet some amazing people and friends
Fantastic experience: Fantastic time away with Rory's travel group. Best decision I ever made. Meeting up with like minded people who are all friendly.
Fantastic experience: Recently went on a group trip and was one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on. Great service for meeting like-minded people, travelling to many parts of the world and getting great value. I have already booked another group trip for 2025! Great service, keep it up.
Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing group trip to Boston! The nicest people and such a beautiful city. It was great that we all organised ourselves and could go off and do our own thing rather than stuck to a set itinerary. Rory joined us on this trip and was always there if we needed something. We had great fun and memories to last a life time. The hotel was also fantastic and in a perfect location within walking distance. Looking forward to my next trip!
Fantastic experience: Had a girlie spa break. Great value for money.
Negative experience: Great deals
Pat, not sure if you meant to give a 1* and write great deals here.
Fantastic experience: Impressive deals oñ travel
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely shop with friendly and very helpful staff great deli fresh food every day
Fantastic experience: “Join our group trips mailing list for €10/year.” For anyone leaving 1 star reviews, you need your head(s) examined and should do the decent thing and retract! For €10 you seem to expect a tour guide/operator??? It’s very simple folks, get on the mailing list for €10, book the suggested transport if you like, get added to the relevant WhatsApp group after you let the admin team you have booked the transport. Then (KEY BIT) for full flexibility (amongst a group of people, the majority of whom don’t necessarily know eachother), discuss options for itinerary/accommodation over WhatsApp/Zoom to come up with a strawman of options. Then head off and enjoy knowing you can do as little or as much as you like as a group! DK is a very satisfied customer
Negative experience: Im subscribed to both the offers and the monthly group trip. Recently took the plunge to join a "Group Trip" as a solo traveller. It wasn't a "group trip" at all. I was added to a WhatsApp Group, didn't know anyone and people booked their own accommodation, bus and train tickets themselves before Rory sent the recommended list of hotels/hostels etc. 10 days prior to travel. By this time everyone had booked their own and were scattered accross the city. So unless you knew someone in the "group trip" you were depending on the kindness of others to allow you to bunk with them, include you or travel solo with all the additional costs. I got lucky with those who reached out to me. There was no itinerary as such just a recommendation to see X,Y,Z during the stay. You had to figure out how to get to X,Y and Z yourself and organise transfers to and from. While the idea of connecting solo travellers and those who love to travel together is amazing calling these trips "group trips" is not accurate. It's every man, woman and child for themselves. It can be very stressful if you are any way not used to solo travel. The weeks leading up to it were very stressful trying to organise and link in with others. I think a better structure is required to call these "group trips". More information early on regarding accommodation, transfers etc etc would make it a lot less stressful and a zoom call as soon as the WhatsApp group opens to pair solo travellers up together so that the right fit can share accommodation together. It's a really simple thing to do but it's essential for a smooth trip. Meet & greet on zoom to choose who to share with based on age/interests/sights to see etc etc. Having said that I met some wonderful people on the trip itself. I had no issues but there were issues in the group trip that would never have occurred if a lil thought and structure went into these trips to begin with. Great concept, badly executed.
Negative experience: Went on a group trip this weekend. It was not a group trip! You pay €10 to be added to a WhatsApp group. Accommodation recommendations given week and half before leaving when prices are sky high & people staying in all different accommodations miles from each other. Nothing group orientated. We had to organise everything ourselves. People of all ages some never been away solo before and very stressful for older generations. I met amazing people & great laugh but everything organised yourself.
Fantastic experience: Excellent site! Amazing offers. Love that Rory has researched the venues well too
Fantastic experience: Great deals, thanks Rory
Fantastic experience: Super service. Highly recommend, best 10 euro you will spend. Saved a lot, great travel knowledge, well done rory and team.
Fantastic experience: Best subscription service ever .rory and staff put alot into e mails and trips and make everyone feel so welcome .nothing is ever to much to ask.
Negative experience: In trying to sign up for 2 accounts, Rory's travel club took '5' payments of €10 from me. They have not responded to my email, Insta message or message through the 'contact Us' section on their website to explain or refund. . Why? checked my back account 5 payments had been taken form it and, my son has not been signed up.
Fantastic experience: Joined this group out of curiosity and to support an irish business. I've booked a few of the hotels and did one of the group trips as a solo traveller. Couldn't reccomend it enough.
Fantastic experience: Best €10 you will ever spend by signing up. Such fantastic emails arriving through the week with brilliant deals. I look forward to getting them and planning my next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, for 10 euro you get access to loads of great special offers. If you do just one day trip you'll make your money back. We'll done Rory and staff.
Fantastic experience: Great service. Well done!
Negative experience: Good finds but literally stopped receiving emails after 3 months. Sent 2 Facebook messages and an email and no response whatsoever after 4 days. I missed out on a travel deal I really wanted to book as a result too. Such a shame. I was really happy with the service before this
Fantastic experience: Great place to get holiday bargains
Fantastic experience: Great website
Fantastic experience: Great deals to be had!
Fantastic experience: It's amazing what you have built from scratch in a short period of time and I suspect that you have filled a much-needed niche in the travel market. I've only booked 1 deal since signing up a few months ago, but that deal alone saved me 60 euro so I've already re-couped the 10 euro I spent on a yearly subscription! A great service that saves us trawling for hours for similar deals.
Fantastic experience: Great deals, great page
Fantastic experience: I love Rorys travel club. I haven't booked anything as of yet but made my €10 back with a discount code on Daa parking. Only reason I haven't booked is dates haven't suited but its a great way of discovering hidden gems at home and abroad and I can always book for my own dates. Keep up the great work Rory and all your team
Positive experience: Great pub lovely food, friendly staff toilets need make over
Fantastic experience: Top class would recommend to anyone in times when everything is so over priced refreshing to see a company doing its part in combatting it
Fantastic experience: Deals 3 times a week via email
Fantastic experience: The more the merrier. Very good club with lots of help through Facebook.
Fantastic experience: Finds great deal all the work done for you
Fantastic experience: I've been a member for about 7 months and have found Rory's travel tips and recommendations to be of great help. I availed of a 50% discount for the Savoy in Limerick and has been one of the nicest hotels myself and partner have stayed in. Money well spent!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great service at an amazing price. Keep up the outstanding work Rory
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service Rory provides
Fantastic experience: Brilliant idea
Fantastic experience: Quite simply…you need to join!! Best thing I’ve ever done! Just back from a day trip to Paris and it was perfect! Going to Venice next month for the night and I simply can’t wait!! Looking forward to see more offers and where my passport will take me!! Best €10 ever spent!! Thank you Rory!
Positive experience: Excellent deals!!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Rory's page for a while and I have always been so amazed at the deals he can find. We decided we wanted to go out of the country for a holiday this year and when we looked them up the best price we could get for a family of 5 was minium €3000. I contacted Rory in the hopes he could help us find a holiday as we were close to giving up on the idea. With in a few minutes Rory found us a trip to Paris for the end of July for €1200! That is flights accommodation and a suitcase each! Needless to say we booked it straight away. If that is not a 5☆ service I don't know what is. Thank you so much Rory for your help.
