Our 10 day trip to Ireland was a special memory for our group of seven. We were able to experience the beauty of Ireland, its historic sites and peaceful green-quilted country-sides far better than if we were on our own.

My Ireland Tour staff were very professional and extremely helpful in planning our itinerary. The comfort of a small coach bus as well as the accommodations they selected made our trip thoroughly enjoyable.

George, our driver, was fantastic! Each day he shared with us his extensive knowledge of Irish history. With his great sense of humour and superb driving skills, we were unquestionably in good hands! We would very highly recommend My Ireland Tour! Thank you for a truly memorable experience!

In looking for and planning an Ireland trip for our entire family travelling from multiple areas, I came across My Ireland Tours. I'm glad I did! Working with Kristel, we worked out a 10 day private tour across most of Ireland. Everything was first class, from the selected sights to the different lodging locations and the perfect size tour vehicle. Our driver Brian was wonderful and provided a wealth of knowledge along the way. He made for a very wonderful travel companion and we are pleased to now include him as family! If you are looking for a first class experience, I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours as your first choice in planning a trip of your lifetime!

I went on the 10 Day Deluxe Castle Tour with my son and we had a very memorable trip. It was our first time in Ireland and so we decided to take a tour so that we wouldn't miss any history in the places that we visited and we wanted to get the most out of our days there. Our tour guide Joe was beyond wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Ireland and it's history. My only negative comment would be that while the places that we stayed were all top notch and beautiful, almost all of them were a little too out of the way in terms of being able to walk into any towns and check out the local life. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The team was highly collaborative, very responsive and our guide Ger was like a new found family member. We saw parts of Ireland we wouldn’t have found on our own. The hotels and vehicle were high quality. I would definitely use My Ireland Tour again. I cannot say enough good things about everyone at this company.

We went on the 10 day iconic tour ofIreland, (it was my second time with My Ireland.) It is is every way a vividly interesting journey through Ireland's landscape and history. Our tour-guide Tom really should be a teacher. His amazing knowledge of Ireland, its people and personality, its history challenges today, gave me a grounding in this place that I would expect to get only from a minimum of a year of living there. Our creature comforts were met at every turn from a variety of interesting and comfortable hotels, to great food from well prepared hotel fare to pub fare to home-made farm fare. with always a choice of great wine, beer or finest Irish whisky!

We were relieved of any worry over our bags as we journeyed, every nuance of responsibility taken care of. It would be true to say it was a wonderful group of fellow travelers, but I cant help thinking that if we hadn't been made as a comfortable and organized as we were, I am sure none of us would have been as pleasant or fun, as willing to be curious and friendly. It was all made so easy.

On our 24 day trek through the UK, Chuck and I picked up the Northern Ireland Tour through My Ireland Tours at the Belfast Titanic and continued on with the group of 26. Our driver /guide Nigel was entertaining and knowledgable about the history of the area we travelled through and answered questions for us.

The countryside was spectacular, the people of Ireland warm and welcoming and the bus family entertaining. This was our first group trip in our 64 years and we both enjoyed leaving the thinking to a well organized company to do that for us for part of our trip. Cead Mile Failte is just one Gaelic saying we learned, but to all of you Go Raibh Maith Agat.

We chose the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Tom Lavin was our driver-guide and was outstanding! He was so knowledgable about the history and current events/life in Ireland. He entertained us with his humor and stories. We saw such a variety of historical sites, breathtaking scenic views and local daily life. We loved the small group and made many new friends. Most meals and all admission costs were included in the tour.

Our hotels were in great locations so that we could venture into town when we had free time. We returned home truly relaxed and felt like we had a true vacation. So glad we decided to go with myirelandtours!

Best vacation ever. Maurice who took us all over Ireland was the kindest, most well informed and attentive person. We had my 85 year old mother with us and he could not have been kinder to her. He would bring us as close as possible to every venue to make it easy for her. He also kept our 10 year old super engaged. He was like family by the time our 2 weeks were done. Cannot say enough about the experience and family adventure. We just loved it. The diversity of the places we stayed, the history, the food and the comfort. Thank you so much!

We absolutely can't say enough about our My Ireland Deluxe Castle Tour. We are telling all our friends...do this...you will NOT regret it. Enda, our driver/tour guide was absolutely amazing...to the point that we miss hearing his voice every day. He was full of wonderful information and insight about what we were seeing and the people. All the other guides we met along the way were also extremely knowledgeable.

The hotels were gorgeously stunning to stay in and we were treated as royalty by much of the staff at each hotel. Despite some days with poor weather, we were able to keep smiling and keep seeing the many highlights that were on our bucket list. We even got engaged on the Cliffs of Moher...and all our tour-mates and Enda made that joyous occasion even more so. We would absolutely recommend and take another tour with My Ireland Tour...and would absolutely request Enda as our guide.

We were constantly amazed and what we saw and learned...

Last month my good friend Dawna Harrison and I had the pleasure to visit your beautiful country participating in the Luxury Castle Tour. We were constantly amazed and what we saw and learned, made all the more wonderful meeting the always welcoming Irish people at each and every stop.

No doubt, Dawna and I enthusiastically agree that our guide/driver, Mr. Tom Lavin, was one of the main reasons why our tour of your country exceeded on every day. Tom was always early, pleasant, very well informed. He knew exactly when to talk and when to let us have some quiet time to mull or absorb the landscape outside. He filled me in on Irish history that only rang a dim bell from my history classes, helped broaden my world view and let us all know the how and why the Irish embrace life with such gusto and resilience. My appreciation of the Irish peoples has grown exponentially.

I can think of no better ambassador for your company and country. I know my tour mates also shared these thoughts. Possibly you've heard from them already. In closing, thank you for sending us your best man. We feel incredibly blessed to have spent our time with him and wish both he and your company well. You can be assured we will be recommending your excellent company to everyone we know.

The tour took us to many enjoyable sites in Ireland...

We enjoyed our 10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour immensely. Our driver/guide Cathal Clarke was terrific -- very knowledgeable and engaging. We could truly enjoy our travels with him narrating and driving instead of us trying to cope with driving on narrow roads, on the opposite side of where we’re accustomed to driving.

The tour took us to many enjoyable sites in Ireland, which was home for many of our ancestors, though we would have appreciated having more time in Dublin. The whole experience left us eager to return to Ireland someday for more. Our 24 tour companions were a delight as well.

Indescribably beautiful journey...

I can't say enough praise for our guide Colm Marshall. He was flexible in developing the daily literary and maximized the value of our tour. We were to visit Blarney Castle on a Sunday afternoon. Colm said you don't want to do that. We will get up early on Monday morning, which we did, and go to Blarney Castle. We visited the castle and were finished with the climb up to "Kiss the Blarney Stone" in an hour and a half. There were some events that my husband was not able to do. It was never a problem for him to hang out in the van with Colm. Colm thought we might enjoy a show and made reservations for us in Killarney with champion dancers and musicians which was excellent.

The hotel in Dublin, the Merrion, was outstanding and spoiled us for the remaining hotels. I felt that the Hotel Lake Killarney was was too far out of town and made walking in the town not an option. The hotel was very old, although the service and the food was excellent. The B and B we stayed in our last night was charming and convenient to the airport with excellent staff and dining. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone who wished to visit Ireland. I would also suggest the van travel to anyone who was interested in touring with a private group. We were a party of 7, 2 in their 70's, 2 late 40's, 2 early 50's and one 17 year. old.

Have not received a negative comment from any of our friends yet. Everyone is full of praise for this beautiful country Ireland. You can happily praise you to live in such a beautiful country. Everything went so well, partly because of you. (excellent itinerary). The whole group would like to thank you, from the bottom of their hearts, for The excellent organization, the beautiful hotels and fabulous guest-houses, the fine food, with mainly the fish dishes, Irish stew and cheesecake (your favourite), the drinks (Guinness, Whiskey - Jameson) : sometimes , according to the spouses, one too many – but Kristel, this is absolutely not your fault ! The nice visits and great local guides (really).

And last but not least : Enda Sheehan, an excellent driver, helpful and always on time, also ready for a joke. All friends were very happy with his safe way of driving (personally the best driver for me over the past ten years).

From start to finish we had a wonderful time...

Our group has returned from the Ireland trip you planned for us, and without a doubt it was a resounding success. From start to finish we had a wonderful time at all the places we visited and everything moved along without a glitch. You and your team were quick to respond and managed all our requests promptly and efficiently. My only regret is that I never had the opportunity to meet you in person. Rest assured, I will tell everyone that you are very good at what you do, and! I will not hesitate to mention your company when family and friends are planning a trip to Ireland.

In addition I would like to thank you for assigning Tom Lavin to our group as our driver/guide. He is excellent, and I have to admit that I wondered in advance if one person could be good at both jobs. We unanimously agree that Tom is superb at what he does. He was extremely well organized, patient,funny,diplomatic, objective in his presentations about the places we were visiting, and helpful and concerned at all times that we were enjoying ourselves and were comfortable. His knowledge of Ireland's history, culture and people was quite impressive. We all agreed he would be an excellent teacher. You are lucky to have such a well qualified person as a member of the team.

The hotels were a perfect...

Thank you Eric for planning our fabulous sister Irish adventure. We wanted to do a lot and you fit it all in without making anything feel rushed. The hotels were a perfect taste of Irish hospitality and our tour guides were knowledgeable and interesting. However the icing on the cake was our driver Kevin O’Sullivan. Wow did we luck out with him. Aside from being an excellent driver he hauled 2 of our 3 suitcases in and out of every hotel. He always made sure we were all set with accommodations and tours before he left us. He was always waiting for us even if we were a bit early. He recommended great pubs and extra sights. And best of all he could match our Boston wit with his own special sense of Irish humor. So not only did we have the trip of a lifetime but Kevin is now a new best friend forever. Thank you Eric for e everything.

I will highly recommend...

I wanted to let you know that we all had such a wonderful time!! Ireland is such a beautiful country!! The tour was a perfect blend of sights of both country & urban to see. We all loved the different places to stay and most of us agreed that Ballynahinch Castle was a highlight with the gorgeous grounds, superb food & accommodations. We also enjoyed Glasha Farmhouse with Olive as our host! She's certainly very enthusiastic and charming! Our week ended on a perfect high note with the show at the Merry Ploughboys' Pub. What fun! ....we all loved it!!

I want to thank you for suggesting that Pete and I go directly to the hotel the morning that we arrived rather than wait to 4 hours at the airport for the rest of our group. It was a good way to start things out for us and have a room early since my husband wasn't feeling well. Things worked out well and I'm so glad that he went since he almost was going to stay home. By the end of the trip he was feeling so much better!

Of course I have to mention our fabulous driver/guide Com! We all took a liking to his charming and fun personality! By the end of the trip I felt like he was a family member....he made the trip very informative & fun...we will all miss him!

Thanks again and your tour company which I will highly recommend to all who inquire about our trip!!

The itinerary was perfect...

We undertook a 15 member family vacation. We wanted to maximize our visit to see as many sites as we could and conclude with our local relatives. We also wanted to travel to Northern Ireland, down through the west and then to the east before returning/ending in Dublin. All in 12 days with the last four days split between Dublin and relatives in Meath. There were some who came for the first part and had to leave and others who arrived later for the remainder. Galway City was our on/off point due to easy access via train from Dublin airport.

We learned of My Ireland Tour.com from friends who had used them for a family trip and highly recommended them. Kristel was our primary contact. We had sketched together our itinerary before we contacted Kristel with the places we wanted to include. She was invaluable in helping tailor our initial itinerary, adjust its scope, and suggest alternatives when our desires outpaced our time and ability to do them. Kristel was also terrific in providing timely feedback as we sought and clarified decisions within the group.

We left the hotel selections to Kristel and set only a requirement to stay in four star hotels (based on member previous travel experience in Europe). Dinners and lunches were on our own. Very good lunch locations were, however, arranged in connection with the travel schedule. Each hotel included excellent, full Irish breakfast. The group was very satisfied with the hotels selected, both for their location and appointments. We only made one minor change and that was to elect to stay in Westport and not Castlebar due to personal preference.

The itinerary was perfect...

My husband and I and my son and daughter in law just returned from our ten day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour with My Ireland Tours. When I was searching for a tour company. I had two criteria beyond a great tour hitting all the main tourist destinations and they were a small group and multi age participants. Well, our tour delivered and couldn’t have been any better. There were 26 people and the ages ranged from young adult to seniors. We have done a number of tours and this was by far the best, thanks to the perfect itinerary that covers all the highlights as well as less touristy stops and our fantastic tour guide, Alan Gielty who is knowledgeable, passionate about his country, and has a terrific humorous approach to everything he did. He filled our heads with background information on important stops and entertained us with his quick wit, cute stories, and often folk songs while driving along the beautiful countryside. We explored all the well known tourist spots while learning about the history and the present culture of the Irish people. Each hotel was unique and offered all the modern amenities one would expect. Breakfasts were always quite good with multiple choices of local specialties as well as items we were used to, like fresh fruit and yogurt. For dinner there were always a few choices. After awhile we declined the desserts as it was just too much food. Occasionally we ate in a local pub or a country farm which was a nice change and gave us a chance to experience the local hospitality on a different level. The itinerary was perfect with Alan always concerned about our comfort and giving us the best possible tour, whether doing a quick photo op stop or showing us a local spot on the way to our scheduled stop. We often had a tour of the important stops given by a guide on site which added to the experience. We never thought about waiting for tickets or checking into the hotels as Alan took care of every detail with ease. The coach is new and very comfortable, though some of the backroads did require my husband to take some Dramamine. My favorite stops were the natural wonders like the Cliffs of Moher and driving the Ring of Kerry. The green countryside with the amazing stone walls will remain in my mind for a long time. This is a wonderful tour of a very special country.

I would recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone...

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Ireland, Scotland and England. I knew we would be spending time with family in both Scotland and England but had absolutely no idea what to plan to see in Ireland until My Ireland Tour was recommended to me by a friend. Eric answered all of my questions and made excellent suggestions for sights and hotels. We had a customized tour for our needs due to the fact that we had a limited number of days in Ireland. Our tour guide/driver, Colm Clarke, was absolutely wonderful. He was witty, charming, knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and accommodating. He provided us with so much information as well as stories, laughs, and legends. We enjoyed every minute we spent with him in and out of the Mercedes Sprinter. His driving skills were top notch, even on some of those narrow winding roads. My husband never falls asleep with someone else driving but he did with Colm at the wheel. When we had to say goodbye to Colm, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a family member or close friend. I would recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone and would love to do another tour with Colm when we return to the Emerald Isle. Thank you for the most memorable trip!!

The Castle Tour was fantastic...

Martina, as our first point of contact we thank you for assisting us with all our pre-travel plans because without your reply's to all our questions regarding the weather and what to bring for clothing we would have been up the crick without a paddle! This was our first time booking such a tour so you can imagine we were a bit nervous about the mix of people and whether we would fit in. The Castle Tour was fantastic, we saw so many things we wouldn't have been able to see on our own in the same amount of time and the mix of people with us on our tour was amazing! There were three countries represented with ages ranging from 21 to mid 70's. Tony our driver/guide was incredible, he possess a fountain of information, has a wonderful sense of humor and encompass the people skills to manage multiple personalities. He also manages to get all 25 of us on the bus at the desired time, entertains us with his knowledge of the island and humor so we are well prepared to experience the best of our day. Tony provided the opportunities to view all the historic, spiritual sites and vistas one expects and more. Since this was our very first time doing anything like this; our experience was most enjoyable, one we recommend anyone doing for the first time. One cautionary word to all travelers embarking on the Castle Tour other than bring good walking shoes...bring your appetite as the meals are delicious and the sweets are to die for! The My Ireland Tour company exceeded our expectations. Best Regards and many thanks, Bill and Therese

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. The tour was well organized and included a nice variety of activities. The castles, abbeys, quaint villages, and beautiful scenery were breathtaking, while the sheepdog demo, the distillery and National Stud Farm tours, and the Irish step dancing brought us face to face with the warmth and humor of the Irish people. En route, our excellent tour guide, Tony, provided an interesting account of the history and culture of your wonderful island. He entertained us with Irish folklore and exercised exemplary patience in keeping his twenty-five tourists on schedule.

I recommend them to you most highly!

I chose My Ireland Tour because it is an Irish company owned and operated company for many years. The fact that it was Irish was important to me. I could not have asked for anything better. They truly know Ireland. The company is not only efficient and very well organized, but the tour leader was superb. I had a sense not only of the sites we visited and their importance in Irish history but indeed in many ways ancient history. Most importantly, I felt like I began to understand and admire a remarkable people in a remarkable country. Touring is more than pictures and lectures. I don't think such a tour could happen unless it is with an established Irish company. I recommend them to you most highly!

There is so much to see and enjoy...

Just returned from a Great 3 Tour (Ancient Ireland, Iconic Scenes and Deluxe Irish Castles) vacation with My Ireland Tours. Kristel arranged the three tours “Back to Back” so there would be little overlap. All went well! The Irish scenery is beautiful with all the green fields and rock walls and castles. The lodging they booked were all top notch. The food was exceptional. Our driver/guides on all three tours really made a difference! They were very knowledgeable in Irish history from Prehistoric to present and loved talking about Ireland and its history. Really filled in the gaps if you have an interest in history. Another thing I noticed was that the other companies tour buses would be pulling out of the parking lot at 8:00AM or earlier. We were just going down to breakfast at 8:00AM. The other companies don’t understand it’s a vacation not a track meet. The other companies don’t understand client comfort. They pack ‘em in the bus early and take off early so they can finish early. We had smiles and they had glazed over tired eyes.

My Ireland Tours is a very organized and well executed tour company. I will definitely travel with them again. PS Think about doing two tours if you have time. There is so much to see and enjoy and they make it so interesting and fun that it’s worth spending the extra time in Ireland.

Unforgettable experiences...

I would like to thank you for the unforgettable experiences on the Essential Ireland Tour in August 2017.

What I enjoyed most was the relaxed atmosphere on the bus and in Ireland in general. The cultural richness and natural beauty of the island are unrivalled. Unfortunately, having to cover such long distances meant spending a lot of time on the bus which gave us less time to discover the country. Still, the tour was simply fabulous!

All the best,

The itinerary was perfect...

I would like to thank you and all those associated with My Ireland Tour’s for a fantastic Deluxe Castle tour. The itinerary was perfect – we saw everything, the hotels and meals were excellent. A special thanks to Brian O’Rourke for his being an expert ‘driver-tour guide’. And, to whomever was in charge of the weather, thanks to him/her as well – most days were completely dry and when it did rain/shower, we were in the coach going to the next activity or it rained at night. Those days when outside touring castles and the other highlights, we enjoyed not having to carry our umbrellas / rain gear.

Thanks especially to you for your timely and very helpful responses to my various questions leading up to our tour. We will definitely recommend My Ireland Tour’s to friends traveling to Ireland in the future.

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,

...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,

Bonnie & Neal Rubin

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.

... 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"

...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.

Fondly, Pam Hood

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.")

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,

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

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.

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 :-).

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".

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.
