Our Commitment

MCT Irish Tours is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards to ensure an inclusive and user-friendly website.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. These guidelines define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The MCT Irish Tours website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This means that while most of the website meets the standard, some parts may not yet fully conform.

Non-accessible Content

The content listed below is not fully accessible for the following reasons:

• Third-party widgets and tools: Certain integrated components (e.g., map hotspots, carousel features) are provided by third-party developers and may not meet full accessibility standards. We are actively seeking alternatives or workarounds where possible.

• Videos: Some of the videos on our site are shared from YouTube, like this one. These may not always have perfect captions or audio descriptions. We’re reviewing them and making changes where we can. All new videos will include reviewed captions going forward.
• Third-party booking platform – WeTravel: Our online booking system is hosted on the WeTravel platform. As this service operates independently from the MCT Irish Tours website, its accessibility features and compliance are managed by WeTravel. While we strive to ensure a seamless and inclusive user experience, users should be aware that certain accessibility features within the booking flow may not fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. We are in communication with WeTravel regarding accessibility improvements and will continue to monitor their progress.
