Review: almost 22,000 reviews - WOW - THE TOUR is a standalone read with a happy ending. There are no sexy scenes or colorful language so any age can read and enjoy this story. Of course, it is set in Ireland but most of the characters in the story are American. The tour is places in Ireland that the bus/coach will take the passengers to see and enjoy. It is a motley crew. Some young, some old, some married, some single for one reason or another. It is a wonderful story as you can tell by the number of reviews. It is a feel-good read. I highly recommend it. At first, I was not sure I would really enjoy this type of read but it wasn't long before I could not put it down and ate my meals while continuing to read. Conor, 40 is the tour guide. He tells the story of what is going on with his passengers. He is a wonderful soul and a credit to Ireland. He is single and feels destine to stay that way until he gets a nice surprise. He works hard to keep his passengers happy and having a good time. He has been with his touring company for many years. He does well. The passengers are a very diverse group. A mother and teen son, a young couple, a widow, a professor, etc. Each with their own past and their own story. It is not long before you are caught up in their lives and issues. This is a must read. There is a little bit of everything in this story and you will enjoy all of it. I highly recommend it. There is a musical instrument mentioned in the story. I had never heard of it so I Goggled it. I even hit a site that had a gentleman playing the instrument and it was everything Dylan said it was. I learned something. Like most folks I have a small percent Irish in my DNA so naturally, I think of myself as part Irish! :-) Now I understand we aren't really Irish. I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer, nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am NOT A BOT. I am a reader, and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 8/23/24. Review: The Tour - I read "The Tour" for two reasons: 1. We were on a bus tour of Ireland 2 years ago, loved it and I had hoped that this book would take me back to our wonderful trip. 2. I am a tour director with a motor coach company in the New Jersey area and had to compare my trips with Conor's. Actually, there is a third reason ; a friend just finished it and recommended it....always a good reason. So, did it fulfill my hopes? Maybe, a little. At first I thought the characters a bit too formulae, but as I got into it, I realized that was so true. The passengers were a really mixed bag of personalities; typical of our trips. I enjoyed seeing the interaction of the passengers with each other and Conor. He had the right amount of friendliness and concern, without "playing favorites" or getting too close to any of them. I really did want the book to continue to find out what happened with everyone, since they, obviously, all had a story to continue. The itinerary itself was not too clear since they seemed to bounce around and not really "flow" from place to place, however it allowed the passengers to have their own stories within the main story. One thing that I found confusing was the use of Irish names and words, which did add colour, but didn't have adequate pronunciation or definition. Some of the names were spelled in the Irish and then given the pronunciation, but not all. And going from the Irish spelling ie: Siobha'n to the pronunciation "Shove on" wasn't carried through the entire story. That caused me to get hung up on more than one occasion. I was familiar with some of the Irish words only because our tour guide in Ireland, told us what they meant. Overall, it was a good story with a nice ending and if Conor had another trip in another book, or these characters had more adventures, I'd read it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BC3TSSE | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,270 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #52 in Saga Fiction #71 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) #73 in Friendship Fiction (Books) | | Book 1 of 6 | The Tour Series | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (25,668) | | Edition | 1st | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.4 MB | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 462 pages | | Publication date | December 16, 2013 | | Publisher | Jean Grainger | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![The Tour: A feel-good Irish springtime read.

This is the first time reading one of Jean' s books. I look forward to reading more of her lovely stories. The characters were well developed and interesting. Several characters were unlikable in the beginning of the book, but you can usually find some good in a person. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/106758229-the-tour-a-feel-good-irish-springtime-read-the-tour](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/106758229-the-tour-a-feel-good-irish-springtime-read-the-tour) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
