Enjoyment all the Way

The most fabulous ten days touring Ireland just recently in May 2017. The country is more wonderful than I had heard and read about. Arriving by plane I said 'it really is green'! I am now back in Oz, relating and remembering the many places we visited, towns, cities, the Irish, hills with sheep, the Wild Atlantic. Every day busy, so well planned by Tom Lavin who is amazing, and with the history and stories of his much loved Ireland, all while driving and navigating.

The weather was really kind, the hotels were so good and the company on board the very best - I do hope we meet again. Enjoyment all the Way. And am pleased to say I have Kissed The Blarney Stone!

Warmest,

Elizabeth Spillane

...a much more personal feeling

My wife selected this tour to celebrate our 50th. AnnIversary , the best decision ever. As a former Tours Company Manager in Europe, I could be considered somewhat of an authority. Kristal never tired of my many calls for information and assistance.The tour route took us to most of the beautiful areas and sites of southern Ireland. Our Hotels were classic with tasteful interior renovations ,the food and staff service were superb, and beds most comfortable.

As the groups number only twenty it gave a much more personal feeling , this allowing as desired ,a single window seat. Plus, exit and entry was much easier.. Then there was Brian O Rourke our Driver /Guide, he did all to keep us safe and well informed , this with an infectious brand of good Irish humor, he was tireless in his efforts to to ensure all that effected his passengers was correct, he soon becoming a true friend to all. Having known many tour guides I would count Brian ,the very best. "The My Ireland Iconic Tour" must be among the very best, if not the best of Irish tours, exceptional valve for the service provided.

Everything was fantastic!

Wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our Deluxe Castle Tour. Everything was fantastic! Love, love, loved Ballynahinch . Kristel was so helpful and made sure that the extra touches were in place. (We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary). Our guide, Tony, was amazing! We learned so much about the history of Ireland and of each place we were visiting. And he can sing. What a treat.

Thank you Tony for showing me my castles!! You're the best. Our smaller group made the experience so enjoyable. We met wonderful people and shared some great experiences. Like an engagement at Kylemore Abbey. So special. The Cliffs of Moher were even more stunning than they look in photos. This tour encompassed all the wild beauty, history, elegance, delicious food, and welcoming nature of Ireland. A truly memorable experience. We would go again in a minute. Thank you Tony, Kristel, and My Ireland Tours for the trip of a lifetime! God bless.

The routing and the pacing worked out beautifully...

We just want to let you know how fabulous our recent visit to Ireland was, and to thank you for your part in it -- from the planning of the trip through its execution. We were so pleased with all your services. We found it very easy to communicate with you about our wishes, you were very prompt, responsive and accommodating to our input, and we appreciated your suggestions and feedback as well. The routing and the pacing worked out beautifully. The lodging selections were excellent. And everything along the way went smoothly -- even the weather! But, in the end, the key to the success of the whole itinerary was our wonderful driver, Maurice.

So we also want you to be aware of what an outstanding and lovely driver/guide Maurice Kelly was. Not only were his navigational skills and his general knowledge excellent, but he had the extra-special ingredients of his lovely manner and delightful person. He was always kind, patient, and pleasant. We very much enjoyed his sense of humor and his stories. And most importantly, he took very good care of us the whole time.

We'll be happy to recommend your agency, and Maurice too, in the future. Thanks again for your role in our most enjoyable trip.

Kindest regards,

The group was very satisfied...

The group was very satisfied with the arranged tour. It was densely packed, but that’s what we asked for. The hotels were generally above expected standard – which pleased everyone. There is high acclaim of Charles Rutherford’s performance as driver and as guide. It was particularly good to go a little off the beaten track and as an example visit Loop Head at the Shannon estuary. The only downside was that the expectations for a brisk walk during the Ring of Kerry tur wasn’t fulfilled, but Vincent’s replacement guiding was much appreciated.

Also Nollaig O’Neill’s introduction to Belfast was excellent and very timely with the current political events.

I’ll be happy to recommend you to other potential customers.

Regards,

Gregers

Thank you for everything.

... an amazing trip and tour

I just returned home last night from my trip/tour of Ireland and what an amazing trip and tour it was !!

The weather was perfect. I saw everything I hoped to see and more taking 490 pics with a few videos. Please know that Brian Rawlings was an amazing driver/ guide who made this trip such a wonderful experience. He passed on a wealth of Ireland / Irish information and facts, both past and present day which I very much appreciated and his love for Ireland was very evident. He was friendly, always cheerful, kind hearted, calm mannered, tactful, and safely delivered us from destination to destination with ease.

Without hesitation I recommend this tour to all those interested to see beautiful Ireland. Thank you for a thorough aptly called "iconic scenes of Ireland"

Warm regards, Marie Slotsve

...our tour was TERRIFIC!

Seeing Ireland was on our bucket list, and we are so glad we chose to go with MyIreland Tours (May1-10, 2017). Our guide, Tom Lavin, was a super host, guide, driver and "mother hen." He took care of every detail for us and just had such a genuine, warm personality. His love for his country and its history was obvious. His stories about his family’s experiences helped us to understand what living in Ireland is like. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.

As well as taking in the beautiful countryside of Ireland, we toured many interesting historic sites, and at certain stops, a local guide would describe the site. All of those local guides (Finian at Charles Fort, Vanessa at Rock of Cashel and the young man at Jameson's) were excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining. That was beyond our expectations. We particularly enjoyed the sheep dog demonstration, the crystal factory and Jameson’s Distillery. Our final entertainment dinner was a nice surprise as well: food and Irish music and dance were excellent.

Overall, in a word, we would have to say our tour was TERRIFIC! From the pre-tour help and advice, to the bus, accommodations and meals, we would highly recommend MyIreland tours to anybody planning a trip to Ireland.

It truly was the trip of a lifetime...

It's been several weeks since I returned from the Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour (27 March - 5 April), but I wanted to write to tell you what an amazing time I had.

I knew visiting Ireland would be wonderful but this tour far surpassed my expectations. No detail was missed, from the lovely accommodations to the excellent meals to the comfortable coach. The itinerary included the perfect variety of sights and attractions and the pace was just right. It was the ideal tour for discovering the scenic beauty and rich history of Ireland.

My only suggestion for improving the itinerary would be the scheduling of the dinner show. Ours was on the last night of the tour, and there were several guests who didn't attend because they had early morning flights home. The show was wonderful but we got back to the hotel rather late. It would have been more enjoyable if it had been scheduled earlier on the tour.

Last but not least, I want to acknowledge our fantastic tour guide, Tony McGoey. His constant smile, infectious laugh, and friendly demeanor truly made our trip extra special. The guests on our tour ranged in age from 23-84 and whenever issues arose, Tony went above and beyond to make sure everyone's needs were met and any special accommodations were arranged. He made each day so much fun with the perfect blend of history, storytelling, culture, music, and Irish charm. If I'm fortunate enough to return to Ireland someday I will definitely book another tour with My Ireland Tour, but only if I can request that Tony is our guide. I'm sure your other drivers are great, but anyone else just wouldn't be the same. Tony is a brilliant ambassador for your company and your country.

Thank you so much for an amazing experience. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.

The itinerary hits all of the highlights...

We just returned from this wonderful tour. The itinerary hits all of the highlights of the Republic of Ireland as well as Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland (where our multicultural walking-tour guide Ronan very effectively explained the religious conflicts and prospects). Visits to the Kerry Woolen Mills and the Belleek and Celtic Crystal factories were far more than shopping stops; the demonstrations were interesting and informative, increasing my appreciation for traditional hand-crafted wares.

The accommodations ranged from five-star former castles to four-star country hotels, all of which offered elaborate breakfast buffets and three-course dinners that were very good to outstanding. Dietary restrictions were honored beyond what was on the menus. What made the trip especially rewarding was the expert commentary by our driver/guide Tony. His vast knowledge of Ireland's history, culture, architecture, religious conflicts, and current challenges upgraded the sightseeing tour into a college-level course. Tony kept the group engaged with his humor and occasional song—as well as screening an Ireland-centric movie or video during the longer drives. (I now understand the Irish sport called "Hurling.")

I had a fantastic time...

I had a fantastic time on the Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. I spoke with Kristel prior to the tour, who was always helpful and friendly. We visited beautiful locations, stayed in great hotels and learned so much about Irish history. Special thanks to our driver-guide, Tom, for such a great tour! He did a wonderful job with telling stories and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and taken care of. I would recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone wanting to visit Ireland.

We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the trip

Becky and I thank you and My Ireland Tours for the great visit we had this past week to Ireland. We had a wonderful time, in no small measure to Enda Sheehan, who was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and, as I know he strives mightily to be, professional at all times.

We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the trip. We crammed a lot into one week and every place Enda took us was great.

Thanks again for planning our trip and assigning Enda as our guide and driver.

The trip of a lifetime...

Terry and I are back home after the trip of a lifetime, our 10 day tour was more than we could have expected. Tom our tour guide was the BEST! He went above and beyond to show us a good time, he was filled with so much information that we were unaware of about the country and its history. I would recommend this tour and your company to anyone. It took us a bit to go to Ireland after Terry's little health scare last year, but it was so worth the wait.

I would again like to thank you for all the info and help through out this journey. Our best to you all,

Caring, knowledgeable, informative...

We enjoyed our 'Iconic scenes of Ireland' very much. The seamless experience beginning with making our reservations, airport pickup, drop off with your company was extremely smooth and pleasant. Selection of itinerary, Tour bus, hotels were very comfortable. Appreciate accommodating my vegetarian wife. Being a small tour company and a small group felt very welcoming and warm. Our driver Tony was very caring, knowledgeable, informative and funny. I'd definitely recommend your company. Thanks Myirelandtour for making our Ireland trip memorable.

A wonderful adventure in Ireland...

Dear Kristel, thank you for providing a wonderful adventure in Ireland. It was fast paced, exciting and we'll organized. I also want to note that our guide/driver, Tony, was a "driving" history book of Ireland. He told many Irish sad stories, sang for us wonderful ballads and was extremely attentive of our needs. He checked on each of us at breakfast and dinner every day. He welcomed us to the bus after every stop. He made sure we had the plan for the next day in brief before we departed the bus for dinner. Then each morning his first order of business was to give a more detailed itinerary of the day. I felt prepared for everything to come.

Tony made the scenes come alive. The stories and the history blended together to make Ireland's 40 shades of green hillsides and valleys record in my mind as if I were watching a fantastic movie! The beautiful coastline was breathtaking. The planned stops were always punctual and a great asset to understanding the way of life in Ireland. The 2 live shows were spectacular as well. The young dancers were so talented, the singers and instruments blended to make beautiful ballads come alive. Everywhere we went the people were friendly, welcoming, and gracious. The hotels were very nice and the meals were fantastic. But it was unanimous amongst our group that Tony was the primary reason our trip was extraordinary. He united us as strangers to become friends. He treated us all equally. He was so respectful, kind and considerate. My trip to Ireland fulfilled all my dreams and created a great desire to return again. Thank you so much Kristal and Tony!

A wonderful adventure in Ireland...

George and Joanna Krol are very satisfied with our tours of Ireland. We have visited a sufficient number of towns and scenic places in Ireland to obtain a good impression of Ireland and this impression was enhanced by many interesting stories that Tony shared with us while driving us 1512 kilometers over Ireland. Since we are both over 75 years old we also appreciated the relaxed pace of our tours over Ireland. We will recommend this tour to people who express interest in a visit to Ireland. Thank you.

Simply amazing...

My wife and I just concluded our 10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour and if I could give this 6 stars I would. From the first with my first email and call to Kristel to getting dropped off at the airport, it was as perfect as any vacation that we have been on. You can tell that this is a family owned and operated business. The level of personal attention that is given is really almost unheard of at this price. Everything has been thought out and planned for these trips and the timing at each stop was perfect. The hotels really were 4-star even by US standards, and the I would almost guess you will tire of eating the magnificent dinners that are presented each night. We barely lifted our suitcases the entire 10 days. They were brought to and from our rooms quickly and with that friendly Irish smile that you will see everyday. What we saw in 10 days in really almost hard to imagine. Even with all the driving we made, we had many stops to see the county side and Irish history up close. I took over 300 hundred pictures and could have taken many more if I would have thought to get my camera out.

None of this would have happened or been as much fun without our new best friend, coach driver and guide Tony Mc'Goey. If you are lucky enough to get Tony to guide you through his country that he loves, you are one lucky traveller. He is simply amazing at what he does and really enjoys telling Irish history, singing and stories that kept us entertained even on our last morning back to the airport. Having such a small group, (17) gave us all a chance to spend time and meals with him and came away even more impressed with his personality and kindness. I often thought that Tony should be teaching other guides how to do it, he is that good, but would not want him to quit driving, until we are done seeing everything!

Our tour of Ireland was simply splendid.

I wanted to let you know that our tour of Ireland was simply splendid. The "My Ireland Tour " is the classic example of how a tour should be run. Tony Mc'Goey was terrific in driving us on our pre-tour and the regular tour as well. The places we stayed were all first rate and the food was abundant and delicious. The pace of the scheduled events was perfect.

On our free time, we got to visit the Kilmainham jail which is important in understanding the events of the 1916 Easter uprising. Tony is a historian, actor, singer and is a great credit representing Ireland. All of the tour guides at different sites were terrific and clever in their presentations. We even bought an Irish crystal flower basket which we received on Saturday.

All of the people we encountered in Ireland were the nicest to be found anywhere in the world. We had a pretty neat group of people on the tour. When it was time to depart for the states, it was sad to leave Ireland and Tony. Ireland felt really safe to visit and there are so many interesting areas to see.

You should be congratulated for running a terrific tour. We will most certainly return.

I couldn't have picked a better tour company...

I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for such a wonderful trip. The planning and phone calls with Eric in the beginning made the trip an easy decision, the guidance leading up to the trip from Kristel was very reassuring and nerve settling and Tony was absolutely amazing!! I travelled alone and was very anxious about the trip. I couldn't have picked a better tour company to tour Ireland with. I felt very safe being in the hands of Tony. I travel often and have left my country a handful of times and this was behind the best trip of my life and I have Tony to thank for that. My heritage is Irish, so to hear the history, see the sites beyond the itinerary and gather as much of Ireland as possible in 9 days was truly amazing. Tony made this trip enjoyable and the whole company is so well organized with each day thoroughly planned out.

Everything was first class...

We had a great time participating this past June in the Luxury Castle Tour. The organization is simple and efficient: no red tape and help is available throughout the booking and closing process with both Eric and Kristel.

The tour itself is of interest: a good picture of several very different parts of Ireland, done in a comfortable and secure way. Transportation is very good, the driver/guide Tony unbeatable for his knowledge and personal qualities. The local guides are remarkably good, especially Ronald in Derry. Organization at the hotels is very good: no hassle checking in and out, luggage is moved with no delay to/from the room. Service at the different castle and hotels differs, but in all cases is at least good. Food: both breakfasts and dinner are good to very good everywhere and occasionally excellent.

As a word of caution, the long hours on the bus need to be mentioned, as the distance travelled is approximately 2000 kilometers. Conclusion: a very good few days enjoying a beautiful country and its people, and a very reliable tour operator. AJS, Buenos Aires, Argentina

He was caring and courteous and genuinely concerned about us at all times. In addition, he was interesting and informative and added depth to the tour by telling us personal stories about his Grandfather and other members of his family.

...the best guide I have had anywhere

I have traveled extensively ( averaging 3 months a year) and this was one of the best tours ever. The guide made the difference. Tony Mc 'Goey was the best guide I have had anywhere. Totally knowledgeable about virtually everything in Ireland down to the last date and a born entertainer! He went out of his way to make this the best trip for each of us. The hotels were very good and located in the best places. I will return and will request Tony every time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone really interested in learning about Ireland in a fun way

Thank you again and hope to visit Ireland again.

Greetings, friend! Just wanted to thank you again for organizing such a wonderful tour for us. From the first hotel in PortMarnock to the Gresham and all planned destinations. We have definitely enjoyed the tour and the wonderful experience with Tom. A very respectful, polite and well informed guide.

All of the four of us (Holly and Luke and us) absolutely created wonderful memories. It is unfortunate that there is one member in the trip who felt otherwise. We have tried our very best to make her feel happy as we are but she has her own mind and tantrums :-). Anyway you can be guaranteed that we will share the best experience. Would you advice me please where we could directly brag about our great experience ? Tripadvisor, etc? Anything that can help you reach out the world and share what we have had experienced.

Thank you again and hope to visit Ireland again. My husband really loves this country and would like to move out here! In Cork :-).

have expected. Make sure please that you share our input of his amazing work.

Once again, Tom was amazing and you have all delivered what we have expected. Make sure please that you share our input of his amazing work.

Lasting fond memory...

Having settled back at home in Germany and digested the many impressions during the 10 days in Ireland, I would like to assure you of my great delight experienced with Tony and the fine group of the nine participants from the US and England. My highlights were, most of all, Tony with his knowledge, wit, empathy and art (singing and driving) also seeing the nature (stormy cliffs, vast bogs, rough hills, yellow lined roads and the birds) as well the fine selection of accommodation with very attentive staff at all times. Of course history and site visits are acknowledged and learned. I realize now how little I knew about Eire. Tony conveyed a lot and in digestible portions!

On the practical side, hanging on to the front seat handles felt like riding a mustang avoiding the jerks resulting from the well ondulated side roads, ha. Next time I bring a pillow. Seriously, riding with Tony's skill and clean windows added to the touring joy. I do realize though that my first group tour was especially successful due to Tony and the small group of nice people. Well, thank you for all your company arranged to give a lasting fond memory.

Everything was first class...

Recently returned from taking the "Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour" and was completely satisfied with the entire package. From the roomy mini bus/ driver/ accommodations/ food and itinerary everything was first class!!! Having taken the large tours before, we specifically searched for a smaller tour with less people and this tour fit the bill.

The staff were all friendly and helpful and the tour driver, Tony, is very knowledgeable and pleasant. We are so glad our first visit to Ireland was with "My Ireland Tours" and we highly recommend this company. If we ever return to Ireland, we will definitely book it with Eric at "My Ireland Tours".

Eric , just wanted to pass on my belated thanks to you and particularly to Tom our tour guide for the exemplary service we received from start to finish. You even arranged for nice weather for the entire trip. The tour surpassed our expectations and we will recommend it highly to anyone that will listen. Tom is a great ambassador for the Company as he ensured that everyone got to do basically what they wanted whether it was shopping, sightseeing or just lazing. He has a great sense of humour and his snippets of Irish history were always welcome.

We chose the tour because of the smaller coaches,for the 2 day stops everywhere and for the well thought out itinerary. We had a great time. Thank you.

It was really a special experience...

Just wanted to say what a lovely time I had on the Ireland tour. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as both Ireland and group tour were new to me, but I left happier than I could have imagined. The countryside is amazing, the itinerary perfectly spaced - never too much time on the bus, never rushed off. Clearly aimed at trying to show us as much of Ireland as possible in the right way.

The size of the group was really the most important. When we saw giant buses with loads of people getting off all wearing name tags we felt super lucky to have the comfort, personalisation and care of a small group. And here I have to spend another word for our guide who really made the difference. Tony was the best. Taught us tons not only about history, but about culture. Was genuinely concerned with our well being and you could tell that he really cared that we got the best that Ireland had to offer. It was really a special experience and I would highly recommend you guys to anyone and look forward to seeing Ireland again in the future.
