We really had a wonderful time on our tour. We did the small group Ancient Ireland via Ring of Kerry tour, and David O'Neill was our guide. He was super knowledgeable, a great story teller, and hilarious. He was also very timely and a safe driver. We really enjoyed all the stops, learned a lot, and made a lot of wonderful memories. I would highly recommend, without reservation, doing a tour with this company.

My husband and I went on the 14 day tour of Ireland. This was our first time visiting Ireland. We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Austin was incredible. He was informative, funny, caring, and made sure every day was special! Not to mention he was also an amazing driver! The sites were breathtaking. The history was moving and will stay with us forever. The Irish people were the nicest people we have ever encountered anywhere in the world. We saw and experienced things that we will never forget. We highly recommend this trip.

Definitely 5 Stars, from beginning to end. I corresponded first with Shauni and then with Eric to arrange everything and it was all perfect. I asked the rest of the group, my siblings and 2 nieces, for their opinions also and here are a few of their answers: It couldn't have been better, covered so much more that I imagined. The accommodations were first class, the intermittent stops that were added to our major requests were all terrific We didn't feel any pressure to hurry, could stroll at our own pace and still get to everything. Loved Springview House and Eileen! Enjoyed our walk with Vincent by the beach. And of course Raymond! He was informative, patient, accommodating - just the most fantastic! Our only regret is just booking for 6 days instead of 10. We just booked for 6 because John couldn't stay longer but we could have dropped him at the airport and just kept going. And of course we would have wanted that to be with Raymond. Loved the whole thing and if ever we can get back to Ireland or Scotland again we will certainly contact My Ireland Tour! We all think you are just wonderful!

We just returned from the 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour (July 23 to August 5, 2022). We could not be happier. The hotels and meals provided by the company were all 4-star hotels and the food excellent. We got breakfast and dinner each night and two included lunches. The hotels were located in center of the cities allowing for exploring at the end of the day if you still had the energy after a full day of site seeing and exploring the local attractions. Our tour guide-driver Austin McArdle was outstanding. His knowledge of Irish history and sense of humor made the drives between locations short and educational. Clearly one of the best tour guides I have experienced. The group only consisted of 26 people on a bus that could hold nearly double allowing everyone to get to know each other. We made several new friends. If you are visiting Ireland for the first time, I would highly recommend this company. Their website offers numerous options. The company is a pleasure to deal with as well. This tour was initially booked in 2020 but due to Covid had to be postponed twice. On each occasion we were offered a choice to push our deposit forward or get a full refund. I am so happy I choose to push it forward. Eric O'Gorman from the company was a pleasure to work with.

We had a wonderful time on our tour of Scotland and Ireland. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the food was awesome. The tour itself offered a variety of sights and activities. Our only complaint is that we didn't have enough time at each place. We now have more reasons to go back! Our tour driver (Paddy)was I woboth knowledgeable and flexible. Our family would definitely use this t his your company again.

Absolutely everything about this tour was amazing. It was literally a new adventure every day. Our guide doubled as a History Professor with incredible knowledge of every area we explored. The scenery was stunning and can't wait to go back!

Ireland was great. Got to see ALOT. BUT... Bus driver/guide - not so much. Did not introduce himself to the bus, welcome or give us an intro on anything at start of tour. Was more like a drill sergeant around time (which I understand schedules are important; but it was his manner). Never reviewed schedule of the day to let us know the plan on anyway. On one day only gave us 30 minutes to visit 1 whole town and then another day gave us 2.5 hours to visit 1 STORE. 2+ hours? 1 store? That's BS. And then did not take us to couple places on our itinerary. Like I said, Ireland was great. Hotels were great. Bus not overcrowded. Not thrilled with the driver. Oh, and he wouldn't let us use the toilet on the bus.

August 2022 • Historic Irish Castle Tour
Our experience on the Historic Irish Castles Tour was wonderful! Our representative from My Ireland Tours, Eric was great to work with, from the initial planning, to postponements from Covid, to answering numerous questions, and then lastly making the final preparations to make our tour a go! The tour included just the right amount of castles, attractions, culture, history and fun. The coach we traveled in was very comfortable, clean and included WiFi. Our driver/guide Tom Lavin was phenomenal and an especially skilled driver. His navigation of the back roads was incredible. He was amazingly knowledgeable of Ireland's history and culture. Tom shared many interesting facts, personal reflections and pointed out so many things along our tour routes. Our first trip to Ireland, and traveling internationally, was wonderful and unforgettable! Thank you My Ireland Tours for an awesome experience! You will be highly recommended!

Just returned from the 14 day Iconic tour of Scotland and Ireland, and it was amazing. The places we visited were all memorable with each having their own mystique. We were treated to very good to excellent accomodations with delicious morning and evening fare. The best of the best was Paddy, our driver, guide, and consul. He made the journey come alive. Although some days were hurried, there was always time for a wee dram with our fellow travelers. Wish our group the best until we meet again.

August 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
Brilliant 10 day trip across Ireland. The chauffeur Brian was absolutely outstanding and seemed like part of the group throughout the trip. He was kind and generous with tails of Ireland at the various local sites. Many stops and sights included in the price as well as proper breakfasts, dinners and a few lunches. Overall the hotels were good and clean. Everyone on the trip were open and we had a wonderful time. However, we did find the somewhat hidden chauffeur gratuity expectations (10-20 Euros per person per day) to be quite expensive as we had already paid quite a bit for the trip, and it made us wonder what the actual salary of the chauffeur is. Also it did not seem optional. We did not realise the gratuity expectations until end of the trip when some other guests mentioned it. I will still keep the rating at 5 stars as it was not the fault of the chauffeur.

My wife and another couple toured Ireland for the first time. the tour was remarkable. Tom our tour guide was great and provide great insight during our adventure. There was never a time that we were not moving or sightseeing. All accommodations were well planned and first class. I have travel internationally often and this was definitely my best vacation. Thank you Ireland Tours.

August 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
When we first decided that we wanted to visit Ireland, we thought we would rent a car and explore on our own. After seeing the roads there, we are very glad that we found My Ireland Tour! They offered an extensive itinerary that hit on all of the major sites to see, but our driver, Tony McGoey, always had something extra to add. Our trip was absolutely amazing and we met some wonderful people along the way, but Tony helped to make it extra special. He has an amazing knowledge of everything Ireland and was more than happy to share it with us as well as tell some jokes, sing to us and make us laugh. He truly is a special part of My Ireland Tour. I can honestly say I have never eaten as much as I did while I was on this trip, and the food was very good. The one thing I would suggest is that there be more variety in the meals from hotel to hotel as it did become repetitive. Thank you My Ireland Tour for providing us a wonderful trip and we will definitely return! I would 100% recommend My Ireland Tour and wish everyone to have as much craic as we did. (My daughter and I at the Cliffs of Moher and Tony enjoying his pint of milk).

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had on our Ancient Ireland tour that you arranged for our family. The places that you lined up for us to stay in were absolutely wonderful. The meals, the side excursions and the beautiful Ireland countryside were so enjoyable I can hardly describe them fully. But, as good as everything that I have mentioned, the BEST part of our trip was our driver/guide, Peter Kelly. From the beginning to the end of the tour he was so enjoyable, knowledgeable and witty. He had stories of the Irish past of just about every area that we visited, knew of local restaurants, pubs, places of interest, etc that, if we had been on our own, we never would have found out about. As one of our party stated we could have interviewed one hundred people to be our driver/guide and could not have picked a better one. Again, thank you for all of your help in setting up possibly the best vacation we have ever had and making the first overseas trip for my daughter and her husband such a fantastic experience. Would it be possible for you to send me the name and email address for the company that Peter works for as I would like to let them know also what a great employee they have.

A fabulous 10 Days, we saw it all. My highlight of the trip was the coach driver ’Brian’, he was not only a delightful person inside & out he knew his stuff, kept us amused & cared & shared. There was a cross range of people on board & everyone was given respect & great service. Ireland tours were very well organised & nothing was not thought of. If you are after a brilliant tour of Ireland, this tour is for you.

MIT was fantastic! Truly enjoyed my trip to Ireland. This was my first tour, the number of passengers was perfect, the bus was very comfortable, our driver/tour guide David was knowledgeable, organized, helpful, engaging and had a keen sense of humor! I enjoyed the stops we made, appreciated the accommodations, although most did not have a/c, the breakfasts and dinners all very enjoyable. Our last accommodation at a farmhouse didn’t meet my expectations, although the hostess herself and her meals were stunning! I would certainly recommend My Ireland Tours!

So enjoyed the 14 day iconic tour of Ireland, Sean our driver and tour guide is so good, his driving is excellent, I felt very safe on his coach, his knowledge and storied helped make this trip fantastic. The hotels we stayed in were all very good though the food could do with improving so ..My Ireland Tour you need to improve on this as it was very repetitive Chicken or Fish on mash potatoes or pasta with tomato ! Best hotels with really good food are the first one we stayed in Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Dromhall Hotel in Killarney, loved that town. A good holiday, thank you.

August 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
For our first visit to Ireland, we chose the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Can MIT control the weather, too? Because we had sun and high clouds for 90% of the trip. It made both the Cliffs of Moher and the Rock of Cashel fairytale splendid. Most importantly for us, my partner and I felt safe and included, and Ireland is fantastically LGBTQIA+ friendly. We landed in Cork City the week of Cork Pride and loved the plethora of rainbow flags and open expressions of love and community. Our guide Michael is a born storyteller, and our education in the mythos, culture, and history of every nook and cranny of the island left us wanting to know more. When we came home, I learned more about Grace O'Malley, for example, and now want to visit her birthplace in Westport. An aristocratic Irish pirate queen who met with William Cecil and Elizabeth I? Yes, please! The tour planted a lot of seeds, as good travel should. Will be informed by this visit for a long time. Thank you.

August 2022 • Ancient Ireland Tour
I have never traveled with a tour before, but I wanted to see a lot of Ireland, knew I'd be traveling alone, and didn't want to have to think too much. So, a tour made sense. In searching for a small group opportunity with excellent lodging, I discovered My Ireland Tour's website and loved the options. I chose the 8-day Ring of Kerry tour and found myself with 7 other women and a remarkable guide, David O'Neill. It was a magnificent, educational, beautiful, fun week. David is a font of knowledge and has a tremendous wit. He is totally organized but never stiff. We packed a ton into our days but also had down time. I almost never felt rushed. I always had fun, was always inspired, and was thrilled to learn so much.

This trip was the first time I chose to go on a tour and I'm so glad I did. The trip was beyond my expectations. The sites we visited, the places we stayed, and the food we ate were five star. The guide (bus driver), Paddy was unbelievable. His knowledge of each city gave me a deeper perspective of Scotland and Ireland. I always felt safe in his hands. The other tour guides were amazing with their historical knowledge, delivering the information in a friendly and courteous manner. I forged so many new friendships with the other people on our tour. I felt we were like a family. The countryside and people were beyond belief. This tour is a MUST for anyone who wishes to see Scotland and Ireland. I highly recommend it.

August 2022 • 14 Day Iconic Scenes
July 2022 14-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland My husband and I just returned home after experiencing the most fantastic tour of Ireland! Everything was great from the time we departed our plane at Dublin airport until we were dropped off at the airport for the return home. I must say that our driver/tour guide, Sean O’Sullivan, was the heart of the tour. His knowledge was extensive and he constantly went out of his way to insure our satisfaction, comfort and safety. He was always available to answer questions and to solve problems. Our hotel accommodations were first class but being Americans we were not aware that the majority of the Irish hotels did not have air conditioning. However, this did not affect our enjoyment of the tour. Meals were good but the menu was catered toward tour groups and every hotel had the same basic menu. Meals were also served at 7-730pm and did not conclude until 9-9:30 which made it difficult to explore the city after dinner. However, the two lunches provided with the tour were spectacular. Transportation to and from the itinerary sites and hotels was great. The motor coach was very comfortable and since we were a small group there was plenty of room to spread out. We picked this particular tour due to the small group size and the variety of activities included. We were not disappointed! I'm not sure when our next Ireland tour will be, but it will definitely be with My Ireland Tour!

We were on the 6 Day Iconic tour in early July, and it was fantastic! We knew from the start that it was going to be a short introduction to Ireland and what in introduction! We have already begun to plan our next trip with My Ireland Tour! Our guide/driver was Garey Goddard, he did a fantastic job! Garey was knowledgeable and funny! Our bus was very nice, and we loved that the group size meant that it wasn't packed. We had room to spread out and relax. Overall, a wonderful trip! Thanks, My Ireland Tour!!

July 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
We really enjoyed our tour! The sites selected really gave us a wonderful overview of Irish history, culture and people. Our driver-guide was excellent! He was knowledgeable, personable and funny. The bus was luxurious. Only complaints: we needed more time at several sites, but time was short due to restrictions on how long the driver could be on duty. The hotels were very good, but most did not have AC - note to Americans (and everyone else in this time of climate change). Breakfasts were excellent & dinners were generally good, if not exciting.

July 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
We just returned from our trip to Ireland and can't say enough great things about it. Despite the flight delays, which were outside of everyone's control, our tour guide/driver, Tony McGoey, worked with us to make sure we didn't miss any more time from the scheduled itinerary. After reconnecting with the group, we started traveling around the island. The stops were impressive and well scheduled with interesting history, funny stories, and impressive commentary throughout from Tony. He made us laugh, taught us some engaging facts, and included some traditional Irish songs just to keep things lively. We had terrific and hot weather, which made the lack of air-conditioning in some hotels rather uncomfortable. The lack of fans in some hotels is really my only complaint. The high temperatures and sticky, humid, hotel rooms made it difficult to sleep. Fortunately, Tony did a great job keeping spirits high when we were back on the bus each day! I will definitely be returning as I loved this trip!

This company is a 1st class company. Our guide & driver(Harry Fisher) was outstanding!! We did the 10 day scenic tour. All the hotels & food was excellent, the coach was clean and very comfortable. Harry worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. Can't say enough good things about our group. We would definitely use My Ireland Tours again.

We just returned home from our 14 day iconic tour of Ireland. We waited so long to go on due to Covid. This tour is really worth the wait! Sean was our bus driver and tour guide. He made our trip fantastic! His knowledge of the history of Ireland was very interesting and informative. We had a great time and would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour to anybody. Thank you so much for making our dreams of Ireland come true!

So thankful I used My Ireland Tour to help me plan my trip. This was a family vacation with fourteen people from ages 13 to 79. Lots to consider to make the experience fun for all. My Ireland Tour did just that and then some. We had our own personal bus and driver/guide for the week. Brian Casey is his name. Brian made the trip so much more enjoyable for us because he was a hoot, full of information, and great stories. My Ireland Tours couldn't have picked a better person to be our guide. He was helpful, courteous, considerate and always on time. Our overnight accommodations were top notch and the restaurants were excellent. My Ireland Tours helped us plan to see as many sites as we could in this one week. Now I want to go back so I can see even more. If I get the chance to go again, I'll definitely use My Ireland Tour to plan the trip.

We booked a private tour for our family of eight with My Ireland Tour. Working with Eric to plan our our trip, itinerary and arrival was so easy. Eric was so responsive and answered all of our questions. He provided us with a suggested itinerary that was perfect! Upon our arrival, we were greeted by our amazing tour guide, John. Over the next 9 days, John became like part of our family. He was so helpful, so knowledgeable about the area and the history and did everything he could to ensure our visit was not only comfortable, but the most memorable time. We were so said to see him go on our last day there. The hotels Eric booked us in were amazing and in great areas of each city with walking distance to all of the things we wanted to see and do. The coach/van was perfect and very well equipped. We would, without a doubt, book with My Ireland Tour again and would also request the same guide. Our memories from this trip will stay with us forever!!!! We can not thank Eric and John enough.

Recently had my Captains Club Trip in Killarney. What a great trip ! Everything was organised impeccably, from the hotel to the golf and of course the wonderful Killarney buzz. Randles Hotel pulled out all the stops and Killarney Golf and fishing club served up 2 great courses (weather aside !). Thanks goes to Kristel at My Ireland Tours in particular for looking after all the detail and for being there when we needed her.

We had 15 wonderful days planned and coordinated with My Ireland Tours. Kristel was our contact and arranger and she did a great job with logistics. Tee times, dinners, great hotels in great locations, and she was at the ready if we needed anything. Our driver, Peter, was such a joy to be around daily, and really added an unexpected dimension of knowledge and charm to the trip for all of us. We were a group of 8 friends, 4 couples whose husbands golfed almost daily and we wives were toured and hosted by Peter while they golfed. He did an outstanding job of planning things so that we got in a lot but kept it relaxing. We would definitely do it all over again and not change a thing! Thanks to My Ireland Tours and Kristel and Peter we have some beautiful memories!

July 2022 • Custom / Private Tour
We just returned home from a much anticipated tour of Ireland with the tour group My Ireland Tour. We did the adult only, small group tour. Our expectations were significant and unfortunately for the most part were not met. Pros; the castle overnight stays were great. The grounds and staff for those locations were friendly positive and helpful. We did get to see much of Ireland, but seeing much of it was from the window of the van. Con: There's much more driving in the van, than actually exploring the surroundings on foot. The best days were the ones that we were given several hours to explore the locations. Those days were minimal. While our tour guide was nice, it seemed he was more focused on jokes than on sharing history of the locations we were passing through. I learned more history of Ireland from a local art museum store owner. There were 15-20 minute stops that were clearly “tourist spots” designed to have you spend money. Instead of those I would have liked all of that time put toward a longer visit in Galway. A fun, dynamic city that we had little time to see. Some specific things: Brewery tour: hot, loud, masses of people. I would have appreciated a stop at a local pub for the perfect Guinness pour instead. Clonmacnoise Monastery was very interesting. The guide at that location was very good. There was time to walk the grounds afterwards. Galway City: as I mentioned, the time here was very limited. More time is needed to do it justice. Ballynahinch Castle two night stay. Lovely grounds, nice staff. Two provided dinners were both too formal. One night in the pub for dinner would have been welcome. Cliffs of Moher: it was nice to get out and walk! Cahername House: two night stay. Nice hotel within walking distance to Killarney. One of the best stops as we could go to town on our own and explore. Blarney Castle: We we’re given enough time to see the castle, walk the area and get lunch. It was a nice break from driving. Jameson Distillery: a good stop. Who knew that whisky and ginger is so good? Glasha Farmhouse: while the host is kind, this was a yawner of a stop. I’m not sure why this is a stop on the tour. It didn’t provide any richness to the tour. Waterford Crystal: we opted to walk around the city instead of doing the tour. Others in the group thought it was interesting. Kilkenny Castle: Several comments were ABC-another bloody castle. It was self guided, so not very informative. We tried to hear what a guide was saying but they made sure we were not able to benefit from what they were saying. I understand why, but if in our tour package it should have been one that included the guide. Brooks Hotel- first and last nights were there. Good location for walking the nightlife of Dublin. Our overall experience was ho-hum. We would not recommend My Ireland Tours

MyIrelandTours ten day tour met my expectations and more. Our driver/guide Harry was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area and his country. The biggest disappointment was not being able to see the Cliffs of Moher due to heavy fog. But you can't stop Mother Nature. I, myself, would prefer walking around in Dublin more, maybe a drop off on Grafton Street instead of going to Guinness. Or at least have that option. I'm not a beer drinker so the time spent there was very long. But over all the trip was wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

I did some extensive research before organizing our recent trip to Ireland. My Ireland Tour was mentioned a few times so I checked them out and decided to use them plan an 11 day tour for a group of 16. I worked with Kristel on planning the tour and found her simply wonderful. She was full of helpful recommendations and options at every stage. The tour itself was magical. Our coach/guide was Ben Sullivan and he could not have been better. What's more he entertained us with song throughout the trip. The accommodations were top class and the food was 5 star. If you are thinking of going on a tour of Ireland or organizing your own private tour then look no further than My Ireland Tour.

Kristel I want to thank you for arranging a wonderful vacation for me and my family. I never thought a trip could be so wonderful or a country so beautiful. I cannot give Ben Sullivan enough compliments. Ben made a good vacation into a fantastic experience that my family and I will remember for a lifetime. Per my grandchildren the best part of the trip was spending time with Ben. I will highly recommend the services of My Ireland Tour and Ben Sullivan to anyone inquiring about my trip to your beautiful country.

This truly was a trip of a life time and My Ireland Tours made it so easy. We took 8 wonderful days in southern Ireland and saw so many wonderful sights and met so many wonderful people. This was a family trip with my wife and daughter and son in law and it produced memories that we will share together for ever. All of the accommodations were five star and our guide Pat was wonderful. This was my 70th birthday celebration and it was the best birthday gift I could have ever imagined. Thank you Eric and My Ireland Tours for a wonderful experience.

In the past five years I have used My Ireland Tour twice, and they do not disappoint. First you can design your own itinerary, if you desire, if you do they will help you with suggestions, that will enhance your trip. They will book you into hotels that have great reputations, sometimes even 5 star at a reasonable trip cost. Last, they provide well respected tour guide drivers in great coaches. A great tour guide/driver makes all the difference in a tour. The most recent tour of Northern Ireland with driver guide Raymond Wilson was truly a great experience. The support and communication with the office staff was always helpful and professional. I would never consider a trip to Ireland without using My Ireland Tours.
Rita Ann
July 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
I chose the 10 day iconic scenes of Ireland tour. My experience was 5 stars from start to finish. Beginning with the office staff answering all my questions and helping find accommodations after the tour was over, to the actual tour. Our tour guide Tony was hands down the best guide I've ever had. He taught us all about the history of Ireland, current events, and even traditional songs so we could sing along in the pubs! He answered every smart and absurd question thrown at him from our group. He had a wealth of knowledge about local towns to the whole of Ireland. This tour takes care of everything for you. You never have to check into a hotel, or get lost trying to find it or the local attractions. The hotels are all very nice with tasty selections for breakfast and dinner. They did get a little repetitive by the end but they were all quality, and included in the cost! You're back to hotel every night by dinnertime, and finished with plenty of time to go out and peruse the local vibe. The pubs in each town were so fun! I really can't say enough about this tour. The value you receive for what you pay is incredible. I wish I could have Tony on every vacation, he really is the absolute best.

Best tour ever! I cannot say enough good things about this tour company. Everyone from the office is great and so helpful. Our tour guide and driver Tony was so amazing. Tony was a true joy to listen too and be around. He taught us so much about the Republic of Ireland and it's history. Best driver award to Tony as well. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat or one of their other tours they offer on my next visit!

July 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
When looking for a company to use for our trip to Ireland, I looked at Blogs, TripAdvisor and read tons of reviews like this one, so I thought it appropriate to review our fantastic trip with My Ireland Tour! I chose My Ireland Tour for my family of six (my husband, myself and our four children ages 24, 23, 21 and 19) for many reasons and I am so HAPPY I did! It was important to me that we had a trip that included hotels, meals and entrance fees to any exhibits. I also wanted to see much of the country while we were there. We took the 10 Day Iconic Tour because this tour company offered all of that and more!! We saw a ton, did a ton and had as much free time and down time as we needed. It was priced fairly and we were pleased and impressed with all of the hotels and accommodations. I was worried about extra costs along the way with my large family and it was not the case at all. The bus was new and clean - as well as having wifi (huge!). Tom L was the BEST tour guide. He was professional, caring and informative. He taught us a tremendous amount about the country’s politics, current European Union changes, Irish history and the future of Ireland. He was extremely knowledgeable. He knew this was a trip of a lifetime for my family and he treated us as such. He took very good care of us for 10 days. We always felt like we were his first priority. Tom made sure we saw all of the important tourist spots and added some very special touches that made our time there very memorable. We did not want to leave! I highly recommend this company. You leave Ireland feeling as if you just took the vacation of your life - it is a special company who cares about their customers. A+!! Slainte!! Please enjoy some of our pics.

We did the 10 Day tour with My Ireland Tours and it was FANTASTIC! Our driver / guide Tony was the best and EVERY aspect of the tour was top notch! The accommodations, the food, and the TOURS were incredible and Tony's easy going personality was a big reason that our tour group bonded so quickly! Several of us are already planning a 2023 tour! THANKS to Tony and everyone at My Ireland Tours for providing us with a wonderful trip! Two Thumbs WAY UP!

Paddy, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful, so knowledgeable and an awesome person, took great care of all of us. This was the trip of a lifetime for me and I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour of Scotland and Ireland. I have over 1000 pictures and so many wonderful memories. Can't wait to go again, this tour company was excellent.

Our recent trip to Ireland far far exceeded our expectations. Like many, we had been planning for multiple years due to Covid. Kristel stuck with us the whole time and was incredibly helpful. Mick our driver/tour guide was fantastic. He never was at a loss for fun stories or facts about each location that we were traveling to. During the planning portion I asked Kristel to please give us a fun guide. We are a friendly group and were looking for fun, adventure, and great scenery/locations. This trip did not disappoint in any way. I plan many trip sand have traveled extensively and I can honestly say that I could not have asked for any thing more. Thank you so much to Kristel, Mick and everyone else at MyI Ireland Tour. I highly recommend them. Sincerely, Cathy

Recently returned from the 10-day Iconic tour of Ireland with my daughters. Fantastic trip in every regard. Gorgeous, never-ending landscapes, lots of interesting and relevant history and a ton of fun. Our guide/driver, Tony, made the travelling painless and fun, with story-telling, singing and helpful hints-he also knew when to let us recharge with quiet appreciation of the scenery. Everything was well-organized and efficient. I would definitely use MyIrelandTours again!

Amazing! This tour was everything we hoped it would be and more! Our tour guide, Tony McGoey, was the perfect guide: funny, informative, a fantastic driver, and had a great singing voice! He would sing us some Irish folk songs and kept us laughing throughout. This tour was perfect! We saw so many things every day, learned so much about Irish history, and really felt immersed in the country. I liked that we moved towns every 2 days and explored so many locations on the bus daily. I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone who wants to go to Ireland. It never felt touristy, but gave us a great feel for so much. We enjoyed every minute!

We toured the southern loop of Ireland with our amazing tour guide, Tony! The 10 day trip was filled with laughter, history, sights, dancing and singing. Day after day the sights were breathtaking but the way Tony managed our tour made the experience even more memorable!

Truly an amazing journey! It was well organized, flowed correctly and our driver Paddy was knowledgeable, humorous, frank, and a very good driver who cared about our safety first. Really was something! The hotels were clean and ready for us as we arrived, occasionally the dinner hour was later than we were accustomed, but always delicious and plentiful. Love the large bus - small group concept, as this gives everyone a window if they like and keeps the group manageable. Thanks My Ireland Tours - I would absolutely recommend your tour line.

I just returned from the 10 day iconic scenes of Ireland tour led by Tom Lavin. It was absolutely amazing! Tom was magnificent. Due to long wait times at customs and poor wifi connection, I was worried I'd miss my shuttle to the first hotel, but Tom was great at communicating with me until we were able to meet up. Tom was also very attentive to the entire 24 person group, always asking how our hotels and dinners were, and providing very interesting and insightful information about Ireland and its history along our routes. It was extremely impressive how he was able to keep talking for 30+ minutes at a time as we went from site to site. I went on this trip as a solo traveler but everyone was so friendly I never felt alone or left out. It also allowed me to take my time at sites and do whatever I wanted when I wanted to (and take as many pictures as my heart desired). This is definitely a tour I would recommend for any other solo travelers looking for an awesome trip. As for the sites, it was a good mix of truly iconic places like the Cliffs of Moher and the Blarney stone, and less well-known places (to me, at least) such as the Irish National Stud Farm and Charles Fort. The tour also made sure to highlight family owned/local small businesses so our hotels never felt like we were just staying at a generic Hilton. To would always make sure to give recommendations for places to eat or try out along the way too. We finished the trip by eating dinner at the Merry Ploughboy which had Irish singers and dancers performing which was just the cherry on top of an awesome sundae. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, whether they're a couple, a group of friends, a large family unit, or even a solo traveler like myself! It's a great way to see lots of Ireland.

We enjoyed our 6-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour immensely. The tour packs a lot of sightseeing into less than a week. The pace is quick, but with plenty of stops to get out and explore. Our guide David is both knowledgable and funny, sprinkling his geographic, historical and social insights with no small amount of humor. I highly recommend the experience.

I just wanted to write to let you know our tour was fantastic!! I can’t thank you enough for your patience and help with planning this trip. I will tell you that I was nervous because I had never dealt with your company before and was concerned that all that was promised would not be delivered. I was foolish to have worried! Your attention to detail and suggestions for the tour route made this a trip my family will never forget. Being able to add stops in Portstewart and Dungiven was particularly meaningful for my husband. We did meet relatives while there and visited the church in which my husband’s great grandparents were married. The Joyce Sheepdog demonstration was a huge hit with everyone but especially my grandsons. Colm was a wealth of information and we appreciated his patience with the little guys. He truly went above and beyond! Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your assistance in making this a most memorable trip and one we will not soon forget!

We toured the north with our wonderful driver Raymond. We started in Dublin, went north up the coast, around to Londonderry/Derry, on to Galway, then back across to Dublin. Raymond was engaging, entertaining, and is an amazing, amazing driver. He is careful and courteous in this driving, and when a detour took us down a narrow street, he kept calm and squeezed us through. He was great with kids and seniors alike. Most appropriate and helpful, and answered our endless questions with patience and grace. Thank you Raymond for making our trip a memorable one, you are a stellar ambassador for your country. Slainte, friends.

Wonderful tour! Saw so many things it was hard to keep our days straight. Meals got kind of boring. Same things most nights. Was very happy I came in a day early to rest from my flights. That was well worth it to be fresh and ready for the tour.

July 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
My family and I recently returned from a two week My Ireland Tour trip to Ireland. This trip was in the works since 2020 but as you are aware COVID created many challenges. Kristel from My Ireland Tours worked with me to plan, plan again, and plan again until all details were locked in and set to go. She was flexible, responsive and did her best to make our trip one we will always remember. The hotels she booked were excellent and surprisingly the food at these establishments was very good. Most importantly, all hotels welcomed us with open arms and made our stay very comfortable and positive. It is important to note that our van driver had a last minute emergency and Kristel replaced him with John, an excellent tour guide, driver and addition to our group. I cannot say enough about John. I thank him for adding so much knowledge, fun and hospitality to our trip. Cheers John! The van we were given had mechanical issues our second day there. Kristel and John worked closely to get us a new van immediately. Kristel was in direct contact with me to be sure all details were handled and the van was satisfactory. My Ireland Tours was recommended to me. I give them my highest recommendation. Kristel worked through a myriad of challenges and logistics to make our trip great! Being our first trip to Ireland with a group of 14, I trusted My Ireland Tours and they came through in a big way! THANK YOU!

Appreciated the hub of 2 hotels to avoid daily handling of luggage, however that did mean tacking on at least a couple hours of travel to return to lodgings. Tour guide was knowledgeable and highly entertaining!

July 2022 • Deluxe Castles Tour
Hello, we were on the Deluxe Irish Castle Tour starting on June 12th. Due to our flight we had to meet our group at Dunmore Castle. From moment one we were impressed and in awe of the accommodations on our trip. Our driver/guide was Garey Goddard. He was also one of the highlights of the trip. The coach on our tour was very clean and comfortable and Garey maneuvered it like it was nothing. His sense of humor and knowledge of the sites and local areas was top notch. He would tell us the times of stops on the days itinerary and we would arrive within minutes of the time stated. Each day's accommodation was more impressive than the last. The dinners in the evenings where first class along with breakfasts in the mornings. Everything about the tour was amazing. We will be reliving our trip with anyone who will listen to us. It was our first time in Ireland, and we definitely want to return. We will book with My Ireland Tours for sure. We will also see which tours Garey is on and try to tour with him again. Thank you putting together an amazing tour.

July 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
We took a private 8 person 8 day tour with very vague instructions to the scheduler, 'We want to see castles, hear limericks and photograph all 40 shades of green.' They exceeded expectations and delivered a fun trip up through Belfast, Derry, Galway, then down into Ballynahinch and Dublin hitting places like the Giant's Causeway, Marble Arch Caves, and every back road possible. Our tour guide was considerate, informed, witty and delightful. If you're on the fence, don't be. These folks are top shelf quality professionals. Commit!

My husband and I recently returned from the historic Irish Castles tour (Backroads and Castles). It was such an amazing trip and we loved every second! From staying in castles to a beautiful sunny day at the Cliffs of Mohrer we were smiling the whole week! Ken McConnell was our driver and was wonderful and made everything better and was a great driver!!! The tour is well planned out and you don't feel rushed and we saw so many amazing sights! We had a great group of people as well which just made the experience more enjoyable. Food and service were delicious everywhere we went. We will definitely use My Ireland Tours for our return trip because we are definitely going back! Thank you for making our 1st trip to Ireland so amazing!

We are back from Ireland and have had a little sleep to recover! I wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for the wonderful trip you put together for us. The itinerary was great, and brought us close to the places we needed to explore. I can't imagine how we could have improved upon the route we took. It was a fully packed week, but we did manage to squeeze everything in. Raymond was an excellent driver/guide. He was totally professional, very personable, and really went out of his way to meet all of our requests for stops, shopping, photo ops, etc. He was an incredible artist behind the wheel, getting us in and out of all kinds of narrow, challenging spots (and believe me we came up with some challenges for him) ! 'Mad skills' was a phrase that came up often! On behalf of my cousins and myself, we thank you so much for all the help you've been over the last few years, planning, scheduling, cancelling, re-planning, etc. At some points it wasn't clear we'd ever be able to pull this off, but you made our dreams come true Thank you, and be sure I will sing your praises, and that of the entire My Ireland Tour team, to anyone I know looking to travel to Ireland.

What an amazing tour. All the accommodations were top drawer. The food, while a limited selection, was prepared fantastically and was delicious. Our driver, Tony, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Irish history, he was friendly, he was fun, he was prepared for anything that we asked about, he sang to us (and taught us a few Irish tunes), and most of all he was a good driver. I found Tony to be even more endearing because I was traveling alone and he took extra steps to see to my safety and to be sure I was prepared for anything that I had to encounter. Not only would I recommend My Ireland Tours, I would take another tour with them. Best 10 days of my life so far. Worth every penny.

This was an amazing trip. Tom our driver/guide was one of the best I've ever met. He was very knowledgeable. The 'extras' he added were some of the highlights of the trip. Any issues or needs he handled with such care that you never had a second thought about it. The tour company was excellent as well. They kept us well informed. This was our third try due to COVID-19. In all 3 years it took to get there Shannon kept us up to date. Their cancel/refund policies we above and beyond.

July 2022 • 14 Day Iconic Scenes
We have just finally returned home as after our wonderful 14 Day Iconic tour of Ireland we continued on to Venice to join a Cruise. We waited for a couple of years to do our Irish Tour as everything was cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic and in the interim My Ireland Tours kept us up to date with all that was happening and rolled our tour over from year to year. Our Tour commenced in Dublin on the 3rd of June 2022. We were transferred from Airport to our first Hotel, Dunboyne Castle and what a wonderful place to start our tour in. There was 26 of us and we travelled on a Full Size Bus with plenty of spare seats and room to move for the entire trip. Sean O'Sullivan was our driver/guide and he did an amazing job of driving whilst giving us incredible information and commentary, Sean really made the trip and we saw and experienced Ireland. The bags outside room at 8am then go down to breakfast and we leave at 9 am worked extremally well. It was great not to have really early starts as happens with some companies. The included evening meals were great and tasty, however by the end of the trips the menu at each hotel did seem to contain similar items and it would have been nice to have a bit more variety. Timing of the meal was scheduled for 7:30 pm and most of the group prefered an earlier dining time, Sean was successful in rescheduling our evening meal to 6:30 at most (not all Hotels) which worked well. The included activites/excursions each day and free time in most places worked well. Overall a really great way to discover Ireland without having to drive yourself. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tour and tour guide. Loved how easy everything was, they transported the luggage at each hotel. Took care of the agenda and driving. The sights we saw were the perfect balance of history, small towns, beauty and the local culture. Had a wonderful time seeing Ireland and will definitely use this tour group again.

July 2022 • Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour
My wife and I took the Scotland/Ireland tour the end of May first 10 days of June. We had a wonderful experience with a variety of sites in both countries. Paddy was our driver and was great. I am sure all of their drivers are wonderful but our experience with Paddy would be hard to beat. For me the visit to the distillery, cut glass factory and sheep dog herding demonstration was quite enlightening. Our stay in 2 different castles was a unique experience and both were quite different. My wife, the shopper, liked everything as well but especially the trip to Blarney Woollen Mills where she could by sweaters! We went a day early to adjust to the time change and the overnight travel thinking we might take a nap and go sight seeing. However, we couldn't get in the room until the afternoon (we arrived at 9 AM) so we went sight seeing without the nap. It was nice to be able to do so and if you make the same decision I recommend a visit to the Edinburg Botanical Gardens.

13 days end of May first week of June private family of 8 with two youngsters Organization...terrific Flexibility...excellent Value...worth every cent People (Shannon/Eric) are so easy to deal with. Accommodations were the best. Assisted with two night stay glamping on the Aran Islands. But here's the REAL DEAL...Ben Sullivan was our tour guide, driver, confidant, singer, story teller, historian who became 'one of our family' for two weeks. Ben made the trip a success all by himself. We feel you will not find a better operation than My Ireland Tours. We would not use anyone else.

Thank you, My Ireland Tour for creating memories that will last a lifetime. I just returned from the Backroads and Castles tour with my mother, mother-in-law and daughter. We were truly treated like royalty during our overnight stays at the castles! Ken O'Connell, our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a fantastic Irish sense of humor. The tour offered a variety of sites such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Rock of Cashel, Kylemore Abbey, and stopping along the road to take pictures of the sheep! I will never forget our time in Ireland and I'm already making plans to come back!

July 2022 • Historic Irish Castle Tour
Just got back from the wonderful Backroads and Castles tour. As expected, the experience was amazing. First: our driver/guide, Ken O'Connell was the best I have ever experiences, and certainly the most knowledgeable about Ireland. Also, my travel companion get ill on the trip, and Ken could not have been more solicitous nor kind in helping us along. The castles were beautiful, and the staffs at both places went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. As it always does, the Rock of Cashel touched my heart. We were also blessed with a gorgeous clear day at the Cliffs of Mohrer. The show at the Merry Ploughboys was a wonderfully fitting end to a great journey. As I have come to expect, My Ireland Tour came through in a big way!!

My husband, 2 kids, sister and parents went on the 10 day iconic tour of Ireland together and I would strongly recommend, without reservations, this trip to anyone. It was well organized, with a wonderful guide - Tom - who made sure everyone was okay, and who was very educated about Ireland and happy to share that knowledge. The accommodations and meals and excursions were perfect. The bus had wi-fi and air conditioning and felt comfortable. The worst part of the trip was the flight home.

Paddy is the absolute best tour-guide!! Knows everything from the Scots to the luscious greens of Ireland! As it was unexpected, my traveling companion needed to use a walker during this time…Paddy was so gracious to make the walker so easily available…He was so very helpful…Worth every penny!! Would have liked to peruse the Titanic Museum, but not available on this tour. Maybe next time…hint,hint!! The last two evenings of the tour were spent at a Country Club…so unimpressive I can't even remember the name…I'd NEVER stay there again! Love You Paddy!! You're the best!! Thanks for making this bucket-list trip the best it could ever be!!!
Brad Niewierowski
June 2022 • Deluxe Castles Tour
We were extremely happy with the experience we had on our first visit to Ireland through My Ireland Tour in May/June. The 10-day Deluxe Irish Castles Tour had a great blend of attractions, culture, history and fun that left us not wanting to leave come the last day of our visit. We made the trip in celebration of our 25th anniversary and Eric and Shannon did a great job in answering all of our early questions and making the booking as seamless as possible. They must have also passed on our celebration information to all the hotels where we stayed as there was a congratulatory letter and treat awaiting us in our rooms upon arriving at each new location. It was a nice gesture by the tour company and employees for going above and beyond to make our trip special and memorable! Everything was wonderful, from the accommodations, to the tour sites and smaller excursions, and even the comfort of the bus, which also offered the conveniences of Wi-fi and a cooler. What probably made the actual tour great though was having a quality guide and driver, ours being Tom Lavin. Not only was he excellent on the driving, but he offered so much insight, history and information along the way, in addition to sharing personal stories that helped paint a picture of actual cultural life, that it really helped you feel immersed in the experience of Ireland beyond the just the awesome sights. You could tell that he genuinely cared about ensuring that all of the guests felt like they got the most out of the experience, which we definitely felt like we did. Not only was he an excellent representative of his country, but also just a genuine, likeable guy that you would hope to meet again some day. Overall, we would highly recommend My Ireland Tour for anyone planning a visit to this beautiful country as their team was top notch from start to finish. We enjoyed it so much that it has left us with continued discussions about a return visit! Thank you all for a great experience!

After having our tour postponed for almost 2 years, my friends and I have just returned from the 14-day Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour. Pat P. was our amazing driver guide who took such good care of all of us. Pat’s driving skills were superb and he was so knowledgeable about the history and customs of each country. I especially enjoyed his sense of humor and quick wit. Our small group of 17 really kept him on his toes and he was definitely up to the challenge!! Our hotel accommodations, (including a palace and a castle!) were top notch while the meals in the hotel restaurants were very good but did become somewhat repetitive. One suggestion would be to shorten the time spent on large city tours to allow more time at the venues we actually got to tour. All in all, this was a fabulous tour from beginning to end and I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours!

June 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
From the moment we landed in Dublin to our return, we enjoyed every minute of our Northern Ireland excursion. The quality of the food and hotels exceeded our expectations. The sites along the way were so well paced and planned. We were immersed in the beautiful countryside and the trip activities. Tony was the ultimate tour guide, offering a very relaxed environment on the bus yet you knew he was totally on top of every detail. He also was extremely informative without being overwhelming. The office (Shauni) helped us plan and prepare so well and answered any questions we had on a timely basis. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone looking for a relaxed, informative, engaging vacation in beautiful Ireland. Thank you for memories that will last our lifetimes. Kathleen, Cameron and Max

June 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
This was our first experience with a private tour. We had booked a small tour (18 people) through a group we have traveled with several times, but wanted to have a few days before we joined them to do some personal things. Kevin met us at the airport and took us to our first hotel in Killarney. Our original hiking plans in the Killarney National Park fell through as my wife needs to have a hip replaced. He suggested we visit the Dingle peninsula. He took us on an excellent tour recommending a very good restaurant for lunch in Dingle. From Killarney we headed to County Cork. Kevin negotiated the backroads taking us to Rossmore, a small village with only eight families. He found a local woman who took us to a distant cousin's house. From there we visited my first grade teacher in Cork. She is an Irish nun who taught in California. This was followed by trip to another small village, Ballymacoda, where I had lunch with some distant cousins and had a pint in the old family pub (now under new management). Kevin helped get me to places off the beaten path. He also brought us to some amazing sights in Ireland. He helped us understand Irish culture much better than we would have on a bus tour. We enjoyed the experience so much that we are talking about another trip in a year or two. I should also mention the accommodations chosen for us in Killarney and Kinsale. Both were excellent experiences. Years ago I would have driven myself. It was so relaxing to leave the driving to Kevin. It was also nice to have someone who helped us find my relatives. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour.

I can't really add much to the great reviews of MyIreland Tours that I have seen! We did the 6 day tour recently and had a wonderful time, so well organized, comfortable bus, great sights, great communication with the company before we left. Special mention of our driver David- he was organized, funny, helpful, a great driver, so informative about Irish history and landmarks, and there was not a question that he couldn't answer!

Having just returned back to the States after completing a 9 day tour with My Ireland Tour I can unconditionally say Ireland is beautiful and using My Ireland Tour is the only way to see it. My wife and I, two daughters and 3 grandchildren took the private coach tour, it proved to be comfortable and extremely convenient, whether checking in at a hotel or at the many sights on our itinerary. Dave our driver did it all for us. The kids loved Dave, he was funny and had many anecdotes about the Irish culture and the country side. Kristel planned out a compressive tour of all the sites on our list plus more. I could go on and on about how great an experience it was seeing Ireland for the first time with My Ireland Tour but it's the memories with my family that we will cherish.

This was an outstanding tour from start to finish! Shannon kept us informed and helped with questions before we left. Once on the trip Pat P., our driver, was excellent. He was a wealth of information and kept the tour running smooth. It also helped that he was absolutely hilarious! We plan on traveling to Ireland again and will definitely use this company!

June 2022 • 14 Day Iconic Scenes
Our 14-day Iconic tour of Ireland was a wonderful way to see and understand this beautiful country. The breadth and depth of our tour made the 13 days on a bus, while tiring, very well worth it. The star of the trip was our fantastic driver/guide Sean O'Sullivan. His amazing driving skills kept us safe and his knowledge of all the history was incredible. At one point in the tour, he told us since we were ahead of schedule and had some time, he wanted us to see a restored round fort, which turned out to be the highlight of the day, if not the trip. If not for his initiative to visit this site, which was not even on the itinerary, we would never have seen and understood the significance of this incredible landmark. His attention to our needs and comfort was exceptional. Our only suggestion would be regarding the dinners. First, nearly all our tour was comprised of Americans, who were not used to eating dinner at 7:30, and it left little time for exploring the area after 9:00pm at night, when we were all full and tired. Sean was successful in changing the times to 6:30 in some instances, which helped. Also, the food was tasty and ample, but as the tour progressed the menus all looked the same as the last. We opted on 3 nights to seek more variety at a local restaurant instead of partake of the included meal at the hotel.

I took a 14 day Solo tour and was blown away. Made several friends and the tour guide John, never let me feel like a third wheel. His knowledge and passion of all things Ireland made this a very special trip. The accommodations were top notch, great staff in all the hotels. John gave us great tips on places to see in the evenings, recommending shows, pubs, shopping. Highly recommend this company and hands down John. Thanks for creating memories for a life time!

June 2022 • Deluxe Castles Tour
We chose the Deluxe Irish Castles tour for May 29-June 7, 2022. We had a wonderful driver/guide for our tour, Tom, who was calm, funny, informative and always looking out for our group. We had planned this tour pre-covid, and due to Covid we had to reschedule it twice, so it was a long time coming and did NOT disappoint. Weather was great for the most part, hotels were amazing, rooms were comfortable and beautifully appointed. Dinners were 3 course and the food choices were varied and delicious and what you would expect from 4 and 5 star hotels. Our bus was comfortable and had free wifi which worked quite well. The views of the Irish countryside were breathtaking thru the large windows. Tom treated us to a couple of off the beaten path attractions that we all enjoyed. Tips to keep in mind: there is storage space above your seat on the bus but it is very narrow, dinners run a little late, and trust the “place your bags out in the hall” process. My Ireland Tours knows what they are doing and they do a great job. It's was worth every Penny! Thank you to Tom and all the folks at My Ireland Tours for making this trip a dream come true.
Stephen Hawke
June 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
OK so we have a weird group to start off that likes to get off the beaten path and see lighthouses and waterfalls and covered bridges in addition to all the normal tourist stuff. Go figure. Pretty well traveled and a bit independent and normally not a sit on the beach kind of crowd. So at the outset Shauni and the office staff worked with us to modify a standard tour to accommodate some of our quirks. We did some back and forth and ended up with just the right amount of everything and at an adjusted price we thought was more than fair. Then time to tour. John McSweeney - absolutely a first rate regular guy. Super history but also good stories and a way with the hotel and attractions people that really helps grease the inevitable skids when you need it. A bus for 15 for our group of 6 was perfect for taking gear off after the inevitable showers and drying things off as we rolled down the road. The accommodations- come on! Absolutely first rate everywhere including the days we were out in the middle of nowhere at B&B's. The Glasha Farmhouse- makes you want to till the soil ,milk the cows and shear the sheep! Not exactly a farmhouse with their gourmet food and amazing people if you catch our drift. And all the other accommodations and foods were similarly excellent. We covered a lot of ground over 10 days and could not have been happier. We were not on a bigger tour so can't comment on that but would highly recommend this organization for any types of small groups like we had as they are first rate in all phases of the planning and execution of an Ireland experience.

The trip to Ireland was for my mom's 65th birthday, and while she's always dreamed of visiting, we had no idea how unique our experience would be. We could not have asked for a better guide than Tony. Aside from the gorgeous landscapes, breathtaking hotels, and well-thought-out itinerary, Tony absolutely made the trip one we will cherish forever. His stories, songs, and genuine care for the country he came from will ensure we'll be back for years to come. We are very blessed to have had this adventure.

My wife, daughter, and I just returned from our 10-day Iconic Sights of Ireland tour and are very glad we used My Ireland Tour for our first visit to the country. Our guide and driver, Raymond, was fantastic. He was very friendly, helpful, and funny. His driving skills are impeccable, especially considering how narrow the roads are. He kept us on scheduling without making us feel too rushed. Shauni at My Irleand Tour's office communicated very promptly to help us book the trip and provided timely updates. The hotel accommodations were all very nice. The meals in the hotel restaurants did become repetitive, with similar food choices at each dinner. However, the lunch at the Blind Piper Pub in Caherdaniel was fantastic. (Best fish and chips I've ever had!) My family and I also enjoyed very much the show and dinner at The Merry Ploughboy Pub in Dublin. The sights in Ireland were beautiful; we had never seen so many shades of green! The Cliffs of Mohr provide an unbelievable view. The Irish people were also very friendly and welcoming. We are so glad we were able to visit Ireland and thank everyone at My Ireland Tour for making our trip a success!

We spent 2 weeks this May, 2022 touring Scotland and Ireland with Pat and My Ireland Tours. The daily itinerary was suggested to us but we were able to make changes. We were a party of 11 and this type of tour was exactly what we wanted- not a bus with 40-50 people. We moved at our own pace and Pat was amazing. Not only was he an exceptional driver but an A+++ tour guide. We were constantly surprised by his knowledge of history and many, many fun stories. We all loved his great sense of humor... Pat had suggestions of where to eat, places not to miss. The trip was all we expected and more!

My sister and I did the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour June 6-15. It was fabulous in every regard! Our motor-coach driver, Raymond Wilson, greeted us at the airport upon arrival at 10:00am and whisked us, and 5 others, off to Dunboyne Castle Hotel. We were all jet-lagged and fortunately, our rooms were ready at 11:00 when we arrived, instead of the 3:00pm check-in. We took a 3 hour nap and then ventured out to explore until our 6:00pm group dinner…where we met all the members of our tour group. Raymond was so knowledgeable about Ireland’s history and all the sights we would be seeing. His skillful driving of the motor-coach on the narrow, winding roads made us all feel safe and comfortable in his capable hands. He was very funny and we had such a great time with him! As for the sights, hotels and breakfast/dinners…you couldn’t ask for more. Stunningly beautiful and historic places, great food and the hotels were 5 star. What can I say about the pubs and the Irish music, other than it was our favorite part to venture out after dinner and join in the revelry of rollicking music. We even skipped a few group dinners and hit the pubs instead with 3 other traveling companions on our tour. If you are planning a trip to Ireland in the future, you cannot go wrong with My Ireland Tours. Every single detail of the trip was memorable and perfect in every way!

Our driver Paddy was the best and had a great personality. I loved all our stops except maybe Belfast. Most of the meals were good and also the service. My favorite hotel was Athol palace and would love to go back there. Not sure about 3 nights in a row never being able to unpack my suit case but I'm sure it's in the traveling itinerary that way to make some travel time. My only hiccup was arriving late for check-in and it would have been nice to enjoy some of the grounds at the 1 night hotels to really get a feel for the the place. But I would highly recommend this to anyone to who has never been to Scotland and Ireland so they will know where to go back to.

The hotel accommodations were all very nice. The meals in the hotel restaurants did become repetitive, with similar food choices at each dinner. I do think the dinner at the Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge was very poor. I was unable to eat my meal because of the quality, and I noticed several others in our tour group pushed away very full plates. However, the lunch at the Blind Piper Pub in Caherdaniel was fantastic. (Best fish and chips I’ve ever had!) My family and I also enjoyed very much the show and dinner at The Merry Ploughboy Pub in Dublin. The sights in Ireland were beautiful; we had never seen so many shades of green!

Our tour was fantastic. We were a small group of only 7 on a large bus that could handle 45 so we got to spread out. Nials, our guide was a wealth of knowledge and gave us a great local taste of life in Northern Ireland. The hotels were all good, and the hotel breakfasts were great and the dinners were adequate to fill our bellies. Highly recommend.

My Ireland Tour company was a fantastic company to travel in Ireland with. Kristel went to great lengths to help us with a fantastic itinerary; she was pleased to revise to accommodate us. Paddy, our driver/guide was amazing, a true gentleman, fun, witty and a wealth of knowledge about Ireland - both current and historical. Paddy went out of his way to accommodate us and even included a few wonderful surprises beyond the scheduled itinerary. We hated to leave Paddy behind, as much as we hated to leave Ireland!

June 2022 • Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour
14 Day Scotland - Ireland Tour. This was the trip of a life time. We originally scheduled this trip for 2021 but had to reschedule for 2022. The wait was well worth it! The sites, the hotels and tour bus were worthy of 5 stars. Our guide, Paddy, should be given more than 5 stars. His knowledge and explanation (with a bit of humor) of the sites visited was wonderful. He also made some stops that were not on the tour that were beautiful photo opportunities. My wife had a medical issue a week into the tour and Paddy made sure to find us a 24 hour medical care within a 1/2 mile of our hotel. While we stayed at the hotel for the day, Paddy kept in contact with us to make sure everything was ok. Every thing that we saw and experienced was amazing. The last night at the Merry Ploughboys Restaurant and Pub was the perfect end to a magical vacation. If I were to change one thing about the tour, it would be to have an afternoon off at a 2 night hotel about half way through the tour. We could have used an afternoon of down time to just relax. Still a 5 star tour that we would do again in a heart beat!

My Ireland Tour was a wonderful experience! Everything was perfectly planned from the time we were picked up at the airport. Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and provided important historical information wherever our travels took us. We were also able to change the itinerary when necessary with no disruptions. It was the perfect vacation-we didn’t have to plan or think about anything except what to eat at the wonderful castle hotel restaurants. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a stress-free vacation in Ireland.

Just returned from the 10 Day Iconic Scenes Tour yesterday. From the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted by Raymond Wilson until the end when he safely returned us to the airport to fly home, I could not have asked for a better experience for my first trip to Ireland. Our group of 26 people from 3 different countries became fast friends straight away and I'm sure we will keep in touch for years to come. This tour covered so much of Ireland and the individual stops were perfectly planned and coordinated along the way. Our fearless leader, Raymond, kept us safe, entertained and educated the entire trip. Thank you so much for a most magical and unforgettable time!

My wife Marilyn and I just returned home from our 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. We travelled with a great group of people from Canada, US and one from Australia. Our driver Garey was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to accommodate all of us. Our tour bus was very comfortable and the Irish scenery was stunning. The hotel accommodations and the meals were 5 star all the way and the highlight of the tour was the grand finale at the Merry Ploughboy Pub where we were entertained by the Merry Ploughboys with traditional Irish music and fantastic Irish dancers. We highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

My husband and I just completed the 10 Day Iconic tour with Garey as our driver guide. The tour was very well organized, lovely hotels, food and excellent commentary from Garey. We liked the pace of the tour not rushed out the door, a nice mixture of sights, castles, natural wonders, and stops. MyIreland was extremely accommodating with the first cancellation in 2020. We appreciated level of ethics they displayed so much so that we rebooked with them when world events made it possible. Overall an amazing experience.

My wife, Debbie, and I cannot say enough good things about My Ireland Tour. Our tour guide, Garey, was extremely knowledgeable about Ireland, he was funny, and he kept us safe down those winding narrow roads. After we returned home, I asked my wife how much the tour cost. I don't know how they arranged all of those quality hotels, all of that food, and all of the other things that were provided with the tour for the price we paid. This tour is an excellent value, and these are excellent people. Thank you My Ireland Tours for making our 25th wedding anniversary amazing and totally unforgettable.

June 2022 • Custom / Private Tour
Thrilled with our decision to use My Ireland Tour! We created an itinerary that toured much of the lower half of the country. We covered a lot of ground and saw so much, with the help of our amazing driver/guide Mick. He was informative, funny, engaging. I swear, Mick knows everyone! He gladly changed up the plans for the day when needed. After shopping at Dingle Crystal, we wanted to see their local factory. Done! Mid-week Mick learned that the lines to Blarney Castle were hours long. Our group had no interest in the wait, so he offered alternatives for that day. And he knew the best little places to stop for lunch! Having a true local as our guide provided us with such a great experience. The 9 passenger bus was comfortable and had large windows so we could see all the beautiful views. If you have the chance to stay at Ballynahinch Castle Hotel - do! Fabulous. Thank you Kristel and Mick for providing our extended family with a vacation we'll always remember!

What a fabulous trip to Ireland thanks to My Ireland Tour and our tour guide, Patrick! We crammed a lot of sites into our 8 day trip, at our request, and none disappointed! Our tour guide Pat was kind, funny, and very knowledgable! He made small adjustments for us, yet still kept us on schedule! I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour for all your touring needs while visiting! They also kept in communication with us regarding our trip well in advance of us even arriving! Go to Ireland and use My Ireland Tour and ask for PAT!!

Not sure where to begin! Great tour, we had it originally scheduled for April 2020, and well, you know what happened. We finally had our trip in June 2022. Our tour guide, George is a pro. He is a walking encyclopedia, amazing historian, able to to weave history/storytelling/personal anectodes/music and more into an amazing adventure. He is a skillful and careful driver, good communicator and overall a PRO. We did the 6 day tour and had a few days to ourselves in Dublin afterwards. I highly recommend this tour group. The organization was easy to deal with , they were very responsive to questions/requests/ and emails. My only criticism is that I did not really like the Clayton hotels where we stayed, particularly the one in Limerick. I also did not particularly like Limerick. However, I understood why the location was chosen (easy to get to/from for day trips). The hotel lacked comfort, and the buffet was fair. I do know everyone is short staffed, not just in USA( this was all over Ireland) so perhaps this impacted operations. I would also recommend more time in Galway (we had approx 2 hours). I think that is a town worth spending at least half a day in. Anyway, just food for thought. Highly recommend My Ireland Tours!!! You won't be sorry!

June 2022 • Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour
My mom and I really enjoyed this tour to Scotland and Ireland. Our tour guide Paddy was wonderful: nice, funny, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. Most of the hotels were awesome. Two of them were even castles, which was amazing. The activities were great, and we usually had some free time in the evening before dinner to either relax or explore the town on our own if we need more physical activity after spending a lot of time on the bus. The food was good. They fulfilled dietary requirements. The castles had amazing menus. My only minor complaint was by the end of the tour the meals were getting so repetitive. It felt like I ate 2 different meals over and over.

We used My Ireland Tours to take our first trip to Ireland and they made it better than we could have ever imagined. They took so much stress off of our plates when it came to booking hotels, travel, Covid protocol, and giving us the best tour guides. My whole family agrees that our driver Pat was a highlight of our experience! He was knowledgeable about everywhere we went and was great if we decided we wanted to do something on the fly, he would get it done for us! Our private bus was amazing, we joked that it was almost too comfortable because we always wanted to take a nap in it! We saw so much of Ireland and we know we couldn’t have done that without My Ireland Tours. If you want to see all the sights of Ireland I fully recommend setting up a trip with My Ireland Tours and get Pat as your driver!

What negatives can there be on a tour that includes Guinness and Jameson’s? Seriously, the tour far exceeded our expectations. We felt that we saw all the major sights of the Republic of Ireland. Our tour guide, George, was personable and knowledgeable; he went above and beyond. Even the (comp) lunch was the best fish and chips we ever had. We are showing our photos to everyone and will not hesitate to recommend myireland.

After our plans for a private family tour were delayed first by one, then two years due to covid, and the various issues that cropped up during that time. Kristel continued to work with us, making changes and being most helpful and encouraging. The wait was well worth it. We had an absolutely, special, amazing time seeing Ireland with our family. Sean O'Sulivan was the perfect driver/tour guide for our group. We made stops to try and discover some genealogy for multiple family members and Sean helped with researching some of those stops. He gave the right amount of information as he was driving, knowing when to talk and when not to. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours. You won't be disappointed.

We did a 12-day private small group tour of Northern and the Republic of Ireland. Everything about it was a wonderful experience with My Ireland Tours and more specifically, David our driver/guide. We had ages from 14 to 70, and we all agreed this was the best family vacation we have ever taken. Kristel was flexible in planning and took in consideration all our points of interest in every location. Her attention to detail and time made every day run smoothly and we were able to see and do more that we thought possible. Can’t say enough good things about David! He’s a wonderful storyteller and has a wealth of information to share about his beautiful homeland- Ireland. We all commented that his surprise stops along the way coupled with pre-location information and relevant stories made every day special for our family. He is a tourist dream for a guide; professional, witty, pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible, and someone who seems to truly enjoy his job. Well done My Ireland Tours.

My daughter and I just returned from a 10 day tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our travel agent, Kristel, planned the entire trip...flawlessly! Our accomodations were top notch! The tour itself was not only informative but absolutely breathtaking as our driver spent most of the drive on the coast. Our driver, Brian, could not have been any better. His stories were so interesting and on point to wherever we went. He obviously loves his country! I will spread the word about My Island Tours and how they made our trip absolutely PERFECT! And we never had to use an umbrella. The last 3 days were sunny and 70 F.

June 2022 • Deluxe Castles Tour
In April 2022, I was fortunate enough to visit Ireland by joining My Ireland Tours on the 10-day Deluxe Irish Castle Tour. What a beautiful country and amazing people. This was my first group tour, and I was pleasantly surprised, the group was so fun and very engaged. Our guide/driver was Austin Mc Ardle, he was highly informative and comical. I could not have asked for a better tour guide. Our castle stays were incredible, it would have made a tremendous difference if our guide stayed overnight with the group. This could have prevented a few hiccups within the hotels. The dinners were amazing and did not disappoint. Every stop was carefully planned and gave us ample time to tour and shop. My favorite stop was at a sheep farm, we observed a farmer and his use of sheep dogs. There were numerous stops throughout the country, and cultural experiences that I will remember for a lifetime. Thank you My Ireland Tours!

June 2022 • Deluxe Castles Tour
I am so excited to write this review for the Deluxe 10-day Irish Castle Tour with My Ireland Tours. This was a wonderful experience. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Austin Mc Ardle as my driver/tour guide, he was informative and experienced. My group consisted of twenty-four individuals, Austin brought our group together, and by the end of the tour, we were family. My Ireland Tours went beyond my expectations, the itinerary was carefully planned and well balanced. My only suggestion would be to have the guide stay overnight at the same castles the group stays in. It would assist with a few bugs that had to be worked out. This was my first trip to Ireland and My Ireland Tours made it so special, we were able to observe a sheep farmer, an Irish family crystal factory, a wool factory, and a handmade pottery factory. I must say, visiting these local businesses was my favorite part of the tour. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours to my friends and family. Ireland was absolutely beautiful, and the people were charming. Brenda Damp

This review is for the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland from May 9, 2022. From beginning to end this tour was incredible! Our fantastic driver-guide, George Connolly, was extremely knowledgeable on all things Ireland. He communicated information, shared interesting facts and kept us entertained as we traveled along. Each morning I looked forward to seeing those amazing places on our daily itinerary I had always wanted to see and experience for myself. There were no disappointments. George even arranged a sheep herding demonstration which will always remain a highlight of the Ring of Kerry. I chose wisely when I picked MyIreland Tour company to guide me on my first visit to this beautiful country.

Ireland is GORGEOUS. Loved all of the sights and the cities. Except for Limerick as someone stated below. Really the low light of the trip and they put you here for multiple days. Can't give any score much higher due to this poor planning. The guide George was outstanding. A gentle giant who was full of into the entire time and took on all questions. Wouldn't recommend this type of tour in the future unfortunately because of their poor hotels choice.

We booked the 10 Day Iconic Tour and could not be more pleased with the service, ease of booking, scheduling and communication. If you are planning to use a tour guide while visiting Ireland, you are missing out if you do not use My Ireland Tour. From the day we first booked, Shauni, our booking agent, was in constant contact with us and kept us informed of changes to COVID, restrictions, tour expectations, where to meet our tour guide, etc. Once we arrived in Ireland, our tour guide, Harry Fisher was exceptional. Even though we had a scheduled agenda, Harry would go off script if you will, and add sights or experiences we would have not had a clue about. His knowledge of Ireland, its history, politics, best pubs, food and anything we could think to ask him completely made the difference between a great experience and and exceptional experience. When we go back, we will try to plan our tour of North of Ireland when we know Harry will be on that tour. My Ireland Tour will exceed all your expectations and will make your trip to Ireland wanting you to go back immediately. We are one week removed from our tour and wanting to go back already because of the excellent service we received. Thank you My Ireland Tour for such a great experience and making our time in Ireland the best vacation we have taken.

June 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
We had a wonderful time on our trip. Our driver, Shelly, was sweet and accommodating. She kept us on schedule and suggested some other activities that we enjoyed. However, I was disappointed in the amount of information provided as a tour guide. Very little was offered in this area. Our expectation was that our driver would also be a knowledgeable guide but the tour fell short in this area. Also, our schedule in Dublin was changed and we weren’t aware of it. A few members of our party really wanted to go to the book of Kells and Trinity College which was on our original itinerary but was changed at some point without our knowledge. However, our tour guide worked it into our schedule but it made for a rushed and long day. All in all, it was a fun trip!

My family and I returned from our My Ireland Tour last week. The 6 of us had an amazing time. It was a 2020 bucket list reschedule for my Father-In-Law who turned 87 on the trip and has roots in Ireland. This was all of our first trip and we absolutely loved every minute. Austin was an amazing guide, insightful, informative, kind and fun. He made a special treat of my Father-In -Laws birthday at our final dinner making the trip that much more memorable. The hotels and service were wonderful throughout, and the special lunches and tours were fabulous. We hope to come again, maybe see the North, and would definitely book with this company again. (And hope for Austin to still be driving!) Organized, professional and responsive to emails, calls and questions and suggestions. Lovely trip all around.

Our 10-Day Iconic tour May 18th 2022 was our 1st group tour we have taken as we have always traveled independently. I can not say enough about our tour guide and driver, Harry Fisher. He was very knowledgeable and very attentive, as well as his sense of humor. The hotels were 4 star. I must say that the dinners at each of the restaurants were all very similar, so was not a big fan of that. Harry was able to get us into Guinness right away when the line was around the block. He took great care in making sure each of us were taken care of and was always available. It was nice that we had a small group of 19 and all had good seating on the bus. We would highly recommend this trip to others that want to see Ireland for the 1st time and have a tour with a personal touch. Thank you for making our 25th wedding anniversary memorable.

My group and I requested a private tour, some specific destinations, and flexibility. We got all that and so much more. The superb communication - before, during, and after the tour, the (mostly) superb accommodations, and our PHENOMENAL driver, Patrick B., made this trip simply fantastic. The people we met, the places we saw, the history we learned, and the friendship begun, makes 'My Ireland Tour' simply the MUST GO TO company for any small, intimate tour of this gorgeous country. We cannot say enough good things about our coordinator - Kristel, or our guide, Patrick!! If you're teetering on the edge about go/no go, or which company to go with - I'll make it simple -- GO with MY IRELAND TOUR!!!

I took the 10 day tour in late May. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Accomodations, food and service top notch. Even though we visited many sites throughout the trip, it never felt rushed. Harry Fisher an excellent driver/tour guide. Many on the tour felt that he made the tour. I would agree. I am now encouraging my daughter and son-in-law to travel to Ireland with this same tour company.

My husband and I recently returned from the six-day Iconic Ireland Tour, which we had signed up for to celebrate our fortieth wedding anniversary. It did not disappoint! Neither of us had been to Ireland before, and found it very interesting, engaging, and beautiful. Our driver/guide, Kieran, was knowledgeable, flexible, and very fun. I felt that it was a nice mix of 'tour and visit' time plus adequate 'on-your-own' time. It was also an excellent mix of participants--different ages, different backgrounds. I really appreciated that. In addition, I was impressed by how quickly the tour company got back to me whenever I had questions. All in all, for many reasons, it was a great trip! Thanks so much for a wonderful and memorable experience, 'My Ireland Tours.'

5 Stars is not enough. Our group had a fantastic time touring Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Accommodations were good topped off with a stay at Harvey's Point Resort. The person who brought it all together was our guide Pat. He wove the history of the island along with fascinating storytelling into an amazing trip. One of our best trips ever! Thank You My Ireland Tours and especially Pat!

This was our first trip to Ireland and our castle tour was incredible! My Ireland Tour did a wonderful job of putting together interesting sights to see.

The 10 day tour was great. Having been to Ireland several times but self driving, this tour allowed us to see more of Ireland than we could have by driving. Once we got through the chaos of the arrival hall of Dublin Airport and met up with our driver/tour guide (Austin), it was quite an educational and exciting experience. Austin’s knowledge of the history of Ireland and sites on the tour was exceptional.

My husband and I just returned from our 14 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. This was our first trip to Ireland and we had a wonderful time. Our tour guide/driver was John Boylan and he was excellent - not only did he skillfully maneuver the coach through narrow streets, he did it while telling stories and singing! He was quite entertaining. We got to see quite a bit of the natural beauty of Ireland and learned of the culture and history. All of our guides on our tours was friendly and knowledgeable The hotels we stayed in were top notch, especially Dunboyne Castle hotel which was beautiful. The food was excellent, although it would have been nice to try some local restaurants in the areas. We highly recommend this tour - especially for first time visitors.

Definitely a FIVE star experience. My brother and I did the castle tour and it was everything, plus more, The tour is fantastic (today is our last day of the tour). Of course, the tour is only as good as our tour guide and coach driver. George was our man and he is great!!! Shared quite a bit of Irish history and pointed out a lot of things as we drove by. I highly recommend that if you are going to Ireland, seek out My Ireland Tour!

The tour coach was very comfortable and spacious, hotels were super as well. Liam and Adrian went above and beyond to make everyone's experience personal. We can't thank you enough for sharing your home with us!

This is our second tour of Ireland which also included time in Scotland (Edinburgh and Glascow). Our accommodations, for the most part, were very good with the highlight being Harvey's Point in Donegal. Our driver and tour guide, Pat, made the experience very special. His understanding and depth of knowledge of the people and history of Ireland are exceptional. He was able to put into context the complicated history of Ireland and made travel to every destination an adventure. We also appreciated his Irish wit. We highly recommend My Ireland Tours. Well done!

I took my son on the 10-day iconic tour and we had an amazing time. The country is beautiful and the people are welcoming and friendly. My Ireland Tours and our driver/tour guide, Tom were both extraordinary. Everything went smoothly, from pickup at the airport, to all of our hotels, food, tours, and time on the coach made for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Tom's experience and insight into the country, both historically and currently, made the trip even more enjoyable. I would recommend this company to my friends and family.

I was on the 10 day Deluxe Castle Tour in May, 2022. Overall I was very satisfied with the tour. Our driver guide (Tony) was professional, friendly, helpful, and informative. There is a lot of riding on this tour, but despite suffering from a recent back injury I found the seats to be very comfortable, and there were great views out the windows. The 'castle' hotels we stayed in were wonderful--and for me, a highlight of this tour were the luxury accommodations. This was a very 'busy' tour. If you are interested in anything you see listed in the itinerary you may want to contact 'My Ireland Tour' in advance to find out how much time will be spent there, for in some places less than an hour is allocated. There is a bit of walking and stairs at some of the sites--I am a 'senior' and managed these easily. I do not recommend this particular tour for children. Also good to know--communication with the company prior to the tour was fantastic. We'd originally booked this just before Covid shut everything down, and ended up having to change our tour date 4 times before we were able to finally take the tour. During all of this time the company kept us informed of the 'covid situation', and any questions we had prior to the tour were quickly answered.

We just completed a 10 day Iconic Scenic Tour. It was fantastic. We were scheduled to go Aprill 2020, then Covid ended it. My Ireland Tour (Eric) worked with us to reschedule for April 2022. Tony McGoey was our driver and tour guide. Tony made this vacation enjoyable and fun. Tony can be best described as a comedian, historian, singer, and storyteller. He went out of his way to accommodate his passengers. We can't say enough about him. The food and hotels exceeded our expectations. The tour stops and photo opportunities were great. The last night we went to a dinner show which featured Irish dancers and singers. It was the best dinner show I have ever been too. If you are plannng a trip to Ireland, contact My Ireland Tour.

The My Ireland Tour was more than I had expected! We saw so many interesting things. The demonstrations of pottery making and cutting crystal glass was amazing. I came away with a greater understanding and appreciation for those talents.The trek up the spiral stone staircase inside the Blarney Castle was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I told myself I would not kiss the Blarney Stone- but once up there I just had to! The Sheep dog demonstration was amazing! And ringing the bell in Christ Church Cathedral’s bell tower was exhilarating. Paddy, our Driver/Guide was awesome! he told us stories and played some good Irish music for us while on the coach. It was evident that his knowledge and love of Ireland was immense. We were all very comfortable and had some great laughs with him. The food and accommodations were great; And the music and dance shows were a lot of fun too! I came away with a good understanding of Irelands history and patriotism of the Irish people. What a beautiful country!

May 2022 • Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour
My trip to Scotland and Ireland was a dream I have had for many years. My Ireland Tours did NOT disappoint. The accommodations were excellent, as was the food. I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Paddy. He was one of the best bus drivers I have every had, which was vitally important due to the narrow roads, especially through some of the smaller towns. He gave us a vivid picture of the history of Scotland and Ireland, while adding personal stories, explaining local lore and culture. In addition, Paddy listened to the members of the tour. He broke up some of the long drives as best he could, so we could stretch our legs and take pictures. He was patient and somehow was always in good spirits. This tour has only whetted my appetite to return to these beautiful countries and experience places we were unable to go. You absolutely cannot go wrong with My Ireland Tours, especially if you are lucky enough to have Paddy as your guide. Well worth every dime spent.

May 2022 • Iconic Ireland and Scotland Tour
Outstanding!!!!! In a one word description. I took the 14 day Scotland/Ireland tour. This was my 1st trip abroad as a solo traveler so there was much research before I booked this trip. MyIrelandTour has a very fair Covid policy if you need to change your plans so I took the plunge, made final payment & never looked back. Anytime I emailed the company they responded almost immediately. Any questions were answered so I felt very comfortable boarding that plane & making my way across the ocean. I was greeted by our driver Paddy at Edinburgh Airport. Myself & a few others had arrived for pickup. At our first hotel even though it was very early for check in, the hotel was able to get all of us into our rooms. This was so appreciated after the flight. From the driver/guide to the group to the 3-5 star accommodations. The meals, the sites we visited, the scenery when traveling & the knowledge of Paddy & a couple other step on guides made this trip an unforgettable experience I will never forget. It has set the bar very high for any future tours I may take. Key take aways- Mad driving skills by our driver Paddy. Got us where we needed to be on time & safe. Learned so much history from Paddy. He gave enough information but did not talk continuously. He knows the history of the lands. Played some good local music. Did I mention Paddy!!! Just can not say enough great things about him. He is a gem. Our group-could not have asked for a better group to travel with. There were several other solo travelers. Small group but large bus so we could spread out. Max group size is 26, we had 24. Accommodations, clean, friendly staff, welcoming. Restaurants served good food. Always a good selection for your breakfast & dinner. Dinners were all 3 course. Alcoholic beverages are not included. All hotels had a bar. The places we visited were all very interesting & very beautiful. Many we had time to wonder on our own. Quiant little towns. Live Irish show on our last night was entertaining. If you have been considering a visit to this area I highly recommend this tour company. I will definitely use again if I go back.

May 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
Ireland has been at the top of my 'must see' travel destinations my entire life. I originally booked my trip for October, 2020 but the pandemic delayed it. So when I finally arrived in Ireland in May, 2022 my expectations and excitement were extremely high. I was NOT disappointed. I enjoyed every minute of the experience from the moment the My Ireland Tour guide picked me up at Dublin Airport to the moment he returned me to Dublin 10 days later. All aspects of my tour were handled deftly, allowing me to just sit back and enjoy. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, always accessible and incredibly helpful. He clearly loves Ireland and was generous in answering our questions and helping us truly experience the country, its history and its culture. I chose My Ireland Tour because the tour package offered me exactly what I was looking for on my first trip - a sampling of the most beautiful places in the country. Each place we visited represented the most amazing part of Ireland. I learned so much and I now know exactly the places I want to visit again (which I plan to do with this tour company!). And though I wish I could have spent more time at each destination, that's not a reflection of the tour but rather a reflection of what I was able to see that made me want to stay and see more. I never felt rushed on to the next stop or that I was missing out on something special. Every moment was special. The accommodations were excellent and exactly what I'd hoped for on a tour deemed a 'deluxe castle' tour. The food was phenomenal and the shopping plentiful. I cannot say enough good things about the tour, the tour guide, the My Ireland Tour company staff or the entire experience. I would highly recommend this to travelers who are taking their first trip to the country, as I was. But I would happily use My Ireland Tour on my next visit as well because they make it so easy to just enjoy yourself and they alleviate the worry of having to do all the planning, driving, etc. This was absolutely the experience I was hoping for.

After a long overnight flight we were greeted in Dublin by Liam Finnegan, he welcomed all 13 of us with a big smile and we were off and running. Our tour of the North of Ireland was amazing. We saw everything on our list and more. Liam took care of everything, from breaks, to checking us in at the Titanic Museum. We learned so much about Ireland on the drive to multiple stops. The tour arranges to have local guides get on the bus and explain about the history of each area we were in. Our hotels were great and you can’t beat a good Irish Breakfast. Booking was enjoyable with Eric in the office , despite us having to Cancel and re book our stay 3 times due to Covid he was always happy to accommodate. The bus was clean , spacious and very comfortable. I would highly recommend using My Ireland Tour

From the very first enquiry to the last farewell to Paddy our Driver-Guide I have nothing but the highest praise for My Ireland Tour and the employees. Every question was very quickly answered, every concern was quickly and efficiently dealt with. Things happened as they should, when they should. A Covid testing unit was arranged at the last accommodation for those requiring clearance before returning home. Accommodations and meals were first class. We felt very welcome everywhere. Paddy is a coach driver extraordinaire, knows just what to tell his guests and when and is altogether a wonderful guide. I would gladly deal and travel with My Ireland Tour again.

Our tour of Scotland and Ireland was fabulous. Our tour guide Paddy was so informative, kind, humorous and accommodating. The stories he told gave us insight to so much more of the history of such remarkable, historical, beautiful sights! The hotels were very comfortable and the food amazing. We toured with a great group of people! I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours to anyone! It was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you Paddy for making our memories ones that will never be forgotten!
Taylor Marie
May 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
Where to begin in describing the once-in-a-lifetime experience I had with My Ireland Tour? I suppose, at the beginning. As I was planning my first trip to Ireland, I was starting to get a bit overwhelmed with where to stay, what to see, what car to rent, and how I would handle driving on the other side of the road while on the other side of the car! (Americans, am I right?) I began searching “Ireland solo traveler tips” when, as if sent from the fairies themselves, the My Ireland Tour website popped up. As I perused through the stunning photos and perfectly-detailed itineraries, I had the growing excitement that this should be the way I first experience the Emerald Isle. From the moment I booked my tour (10 day iconic scenes), through my final days, this company was thorough and communicative and helpful. Everything was coordinated for me to the T. On day 1 I met my tour guide Tom (and some other Tour travelers) at the airport and could immediately tell we were all truly in for an incredible adventure. The tour bus was clean and spacious, and the hotels were top-notch with delicious food and drink (though do NOT try to order a vodka martini). Every location we visited was a smooth check-in as our tour guide had obtained all tickets/passes needed, and he made sure to have us arrive at these locations in perfect timing for the smallest crowds. As a regular solo-traveler, I was a bit worried about not having autonomy on a tour like this, but at many locations we were given a time to return to the bus and some recommendations on places to eat/drink/explore, and so we could head off on our own or stick with the group (though I got lucky in having possibly the most fun group of strangers ever to be tossed together, and we typically stuck together). As we traveled, our tour guide Tom gave us just enough information to keep us interested and educated, but not so much as to be boring or obnoxious. He also added in a few impromptu stops to see sights and meet people that I never would have if I’d traveled on my own. He consistently kept us all updated on times for dinner, arrival, departure, etc. and was readily available to us should we have a concern or need. He even helped keep an eye out for a nice, Irish farmer for me to marry (but alas, we were unsuccessful). I truly can’t stop shouting from the rooftops about the STELLAR experience I had with My Ireland Tour, and am beyond grateful for this experience with their group.

May 2022 • Discover Northern Ireland
Delayed by the pandemic, we've finally been able to take our THIRD tour with My Ireland Tour. This time we went to Northern Ireland and the experience was as wonderful, if not more so, than our previous two tours. As has been the case in all of our previous tours with My Ireland Tours, the superb service came into play even before our trip began. The staff provided all of the assistance we needed to arrange our journey and guided us skillfully through all of the new processes and procedures for travel. The tour itself was absolutely delightful! Our driver / guide, Garey, was knowledgeable and entertaining. He demonstrated great skill driving the coach on the sometimes narrow roads of the countryside and through the congestion and tight quarters on the cities. The schedule provided ample time to enjoy each of the sites that we visited and the walking tour of Derry was a highlight of the tour. We continue to prefer My Ireland Tour because of the value for money, excellent customer service, well crafted tours, smaller group sizes and superb driver / guides. When it comes time for our fourth visit, we won't look to any other tour company for our travel needs!

We did the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour for our honeymoon. From arrival to departure, it was an amazing experience. Our driver/guide Tom was phenomenal, always available for any questions or concerns & an expert driver! (You should have seen his parking skills with a 42ft tour coach!) his knowledge on Ireland, it’s history and modern events was second to none. We had a fantastic time and we will 100% recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone and everyone!

My wife and I had a terrific time on our first trip to Ireland. With several tour companies to choose from, we were extremely happy with My Ireland Tour (Deluxe Irish Castle Tour), who provided great communication and treated us with courtesy and professionalism from start to finish. We were very pleased with our experienced tour guide and coach driver, Mr. McArdle, who shared a wealth of knowledge of Ireland's interesting history and culture--he struck the perfect balance in sharing education, humor, personal insights and stories. He tirelessly made sure we were all taken care of and had a memorable experience. The hotel accommodations exceeded expectations and the food was first class. With only (10) days in the tour, I felt we were given an excellent overview of the country and culture along with many interesting stops while still having time to explore on our own. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who has Ireland on the bucket list!

May 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
My husband and I just came home from My Ireland's 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland and could not be happier. Our trip was simply wonderful as it included everything we could possibly want and see during the allotted time period. Our 15 person group had loads of space in the large bus and the various sites were well selected at a good pace. However, I truly believe that it was our tour guide, Harry Fisher that made this one of the best trips we have ever experienced. He was an excellent driver, extremely knowledgeable and often very funny! He included several unplanned stops, including a Garden of Remembrance dedicated to the firefighters killed on 9/11. I will always remember his frequent expression but that's Okay which was applied to anything that could possibly be a glitch in our tour - not that there were any real problems. Most of us were close to tears as we said goodbye. Harry made this a truly memorable experience!

This was my first trip to Ireland and it was truly incredible. The tour was exceptionally well organized and all the sites which were chosen by the company were spectacular. Our guide Ben Sullivan made this trip both unique and entertaining. He is a Renaissance Man. He interlocks Irish history with personally meaningful events. He has a beautiful singing voice, is a skilled driver, and knows how to create group cohesion. He accommodated the group by adjusting schedules as needed and made everyone feel welcome. I typically don't do tour groups as I prefer solo travel however this trip went above and beyond my expectations. I only wish I stayed at least 10 days, but hopefully next time.

My very first trip with my ireland tours..booked a northern Ireland tour with them..was a little apprehensive as being a single elderly lady traveling on my own was not sure how it would be..I can't tell you it was one of the best tours I have taken..from the very start..the prompt interaction with eric via email was very reasureing as all my questions were answered promptly..it was good to be met by our guide/driver Garry at dublin airport..after that it was smooth sailing all the way to Northern Ireland! He took good care of us and gave us a full insight into the Irish way of life with stories and historical details of the places we visited..we were kept at very good comfortable hotels each night..all in all..a great memorable trip..will definitely book with them again..many thanks

We recently did the 6 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland 2022. It was excellent. Ben was a fantastic guide and driver. They were really accommodating, even dropped us in Dublin after a trip so we did not need to get an Uber. The Clayton Hotel was great, their breakfast was amazing. We loved every stop and every scenic view on this our. Ben was entertaining and a very good singer. He can tell you everything about his country and his home town. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get their first glimpse of Ireland. We packed it in. The Jameson tour was awesome and I don't even care about Whiskey. Now I am drinking Jameson and Ginger with a splash of lime. The drive is so relaxing I was able to catch up on my sleep and felt so comfortable. I cannot say enough positive things. We are usually cruisers this was our first tour and we will be back to take another one with them! Just do it!!!!!

I wouldn’t try to tour Ireland without this tour company. They excelled from day 1. Roomy, clean, reliable transportation. Our tour driver (David) was like a family member on the trip and we miss him! He was very punctual and accommodating. He knew loads of Irish history to keep the tour interesting and able to read the group to know when we just needed rest. He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe. The included tours, hotels, and breakfast were top notch!!! We will be back !!!

Absolutely the best tour of the highlights of Ireland in 14 days in April 2022. Our driver Ben Sullivan made it his priority to take care of our small group of 11 in a professional manner. He told us so many great stories about the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland...even taught us an Irish song (The Parting Glass) and his sense of humor was next to none. All of our hotels were comfortable with plenty of food to eat. We even saw a day- old foal at the National Stud. If anyone is thinking of touring Ireland, I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

Our 10 day Deluxe Irish Castle Tour was a wonderful introduction to Ireland’s beautiful scenery, culture, and friendly people. We had a terrific tour guide, Austin McCardle, who helped us understand the complicated history of Ireland but also regaled us with humorous stories of everyday life. There was a nice mix of travel, free time to explore on our own, scaling old ruins, learning about weaving and crystal making, elegant accommodations, and delicious food. We felt well taken care of from start to finish.

My recent 10 day Iconic Scenes tour was brilliant. Tom was amazing with his excellent driving skills, a very smooth ride all the way and how he negotiated those tight corners had the admiration of us all. His knowledge of everywhere we went was spot on and the history I'd learnt at school suddenly made sense.. I particularly enjoyed it when he spoke about Ireland today, education, health, taxes, rural life, the day to day life of the Irish. The food was delicious and plentiful and the hotels were very comfortable. I give myirelandtours and particularly Tom 10/10

Mr. Ben Sullivan was our tour guide, a talented man full of songs, stories and facts of where we visited. Ben was gracious to stop at a small county road where our great-grandfather lived and photographed us there. Thank you for that, Ben. Looking forward to my next tour with this great Tour Company.

Such a great trip! We did the Deluxe Castles tour and it exceeded our expectations. The itinerary and pacing were perfect. Our accommodations--both the coach and the lodging, were top-notch and the dinners (pre-selected menus with several choices for appetizer, main course and dessert) were delicious and beautiful. We learned SO MUCH about Ireland's political, cultural and religious history. Our guide and driver was Austin McArdle and he was a wealth of information. He was organized, professional and shared a few stories of his upbringing that offered a little more context to what we were learning. A few of us especially appreciated his help with questions about covid testing locations. He volunteered to do a little homework so we could coordinate our test with the tour itinerary. It was just a delightful, well-organized experience from start to finish.

We did the 10 day tour and it was FANTASTIC!! It was laid back enough that we didn't feel rushed but we saw so much! Our tour guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable and helpful and answered any question we had. He was available night and day and was quick to respond if we need anything. The hotels were fantastic and almost all were centrally located so you could explore the city in your downtime. The only issue we had was that it seemed like we had the same food options at every dinner, but again, Tom was quick to ask the hotel to give us some different options.

April 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
This was a wonderful introduction to Ireland. All of our interactions with the company prior to the trip were exemplary. We especially appreciated their handling the return home Covid tests. A major highlight of the trip was our driver/guide Tony McGoey. A true gentleman with a great knowledge of Irish history which he imparted during the trip and, his great sense of humor. He took great care of all of us and we enjoyed chatting with him throughout the journey. Highlights of the trip for us included the visit to Clonmacnoise which has great history and great opportunities for pictures. A stop at the Kerry Bog Village with its historical buildings and equipment, goats and Irish Wolf Hounds, and of course the glass of Irish coffee were fun. In Dublin the visit to the Irish Emigration Museum and Christ Church Cathedral were stunning, and educational. I could go on, but I will refrain and simply recommend that this particular tour will give you an excellent view of what Ireland has to offer and will whet your appetite for a return trip.

I did the 5 night tour focusing on the sights of Ireland. Mr Colm Marshall was my tour guide and he was great! Loved his sense of humor and his knowledge of Irish history.

Driver: Our driver Colm, was super fun, very intelligent, gave us interesting information throughout the trip about what we were seeing and the history of places, and basically made the trip better for everyone. He gave recommendations on restaurants, shopping locations and local things to see. He fit right in with our small group, and we had lots of laughs together. He has a VERY good sense of humor and we just loved him. Our entire group was very happy with Colm! Hotels: The hotels that we stayed at were amazing. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our accommodations. The hotels were expecting us and the dinners that we had reserved at the hotels were amazing. Confirming Reservations: They re-checked reservations so we didn’t have any unexpected surprises not getting into a place that we were scheduled. There were probably 5-8 different places that Colm called the day before to make sure that our reservation was set. Made for a very easy and stress-free trip. Transportation: The bus was clean and comfortable for our trip. Colm spiffed it up daily and bought water and diet coke to keep in the frig. The bus was easy to identify and made travel much nicer. All of us could just be passengers and watch the world go by. Also, because we were up higher than a normal car, it made for better viewing of the scenery. Tour Company – They did a fantastic job of writing up an itinerary that would work for us. They took time explaining some neat options in the itinerary that offered a richer experience. We followed the itinerary as much as our energy would allow. Colm pointed out other interesting stops that we might find interesting, which enhanced our trip. Covid Test – Our driver helped us locate a covid testing facility and made the testing process less time consuming and painless (well,,, except the part of swabbing the nose canal, which he had nothing to do with). All in all, we loved Colm, the hotel stays, traveling around the country, etc. It was a trip of a lifetime, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Jenn, Scott, Steph and Woody (AKA the Fun Group)

Our tour with Paddy as our driver/guide, was wonderful. From the start, My Ireland Tour, and everyone involved in helping us plan and book our tour, went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our first visit to Ireland. Kristel helped us book a private tour for a party of 6, we told her about this being our first visit to Ireland, what we liked and looked forward to, and she absolutely delivered! The itinerary was everything we hoped for. Paddy was an absolute gem! He made our trip so enjoyable, sprinkled our time together with stories, Irish music, unexpected stops for sightseeing, and lots of laughter, such a joy to have him as our travel companion. For anyone thinking about booking a tour to Ireland, look no further, My Ireland Tour is the way to go! Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Our tour with Tony as our driver/guide was wonderful. After researching different tours and tour companies during the Covid lockdown we decided on My Ireland Tour. We are so happy with that decision. We went all over the Republic of Ireland. All breakfasts and Dinners were included. That may not seem like a big deal, but it is! After a long day of touring and sightseeing coming back to the hotel and knowing where you were going to eat was a great relief. The food was very good and plentiful. All of the entrance fees were included in the tour price. We had private guides in many of the attractions. We never had to stand in line. Tony our guide was a wealth of knowledge about Ireland. While on the bus he pointed out things along the way that were interesting. An added bonus was Tony could sing! He taught us many Irish songs to sing while on the bus. What great fun! If you want a great tour of Ireland go with My Ireland Tour you will not be disappointed!

Booked a 6-day private tour for myself and my teenage daughter; could not have asked for a better experience. The booking process was straight forward. I was able to partner with MyIrelandTour to curate the perfect vacation. Their customer service representative stayed in communication with me pre-trip and kept me up-to-date on all protocols and next steps. Our driver guide, Tom, was a gem; knowledgeable, professional and kind - he went above and beyond to ensure our safety and saw to it that our expectations were met. 10/10 would highly recommend and will definitely use their services again on our next trip.

Our trip to Ireland using My Ireland Tours was amazing! We had never been overseas before and weren't sure how to go about planning a trip. I came across their sight and upon seeing the itinerary for the 10 day tour and the reviews from previous customers it sold me on this trip. They were very good about keeping us up to date on COVID changes and were very responsive to our emails answering any questions we had. Not only did we have an amazing time in Ireland on this tour but our tour guide, Tony, was wonderful! He was full of Irish knowledge, past and present, he told the best jokes and he even sang us some Irish songs! He has the voice of an angel 😇 I will 100% recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to vacation in Ireland.

He went above and beyond to ensure our safety and our enjoyment while in Ireland. We covered so many Counties and beautiful country while touring with My Ireland Tours it was amazing! We experienced St. Patrick’s Day in Cork and saw Cliffs of Moher and everything was better than we imagined. Thank you to My Ireland Tours and Tom for making our trip truly magical.

My Ireland Tour was wonderful from start to finish. Eric and his team worked collaboratively to plan an itinerary with us and provided us useful recommendations for how to get the most out of our trip. Every hotel, meal, and excursion they planned were fantastic. And our driver David was a 10/10 guide that made our journey with a group of 7 adults and 1 baby seamless, filled with local facts/history, and fun! A trip to be remembered.

My daughter and I did the 14 day Iconic tour. It was our dream vacation and well worth it. In Northern Ireland our driver/guide had a local guide find the place where my wee nanny was born. We signed the peace wall. Every city every town was so beautiful and our guide/driver knew so much. He also keep us laughing. If an issue arises, My Ireland Tour team were right on it. The hotels we stayed at were perfect, the food was perfect (this coming from someone who is allergic to just about everything. My daughter has a dairy allergy and gluten intolerant and the hotels knew this before we even arrived) for the first time on vacation I didn’t have to worry about food. Our driver even went off the beaten path so we could really get to see the locals and the land. He would always stop for a “Kodak” moment. Then the scheduled destinations like the Ring of Kerry, The distilleries (Bush Mills & Jameson) and so were outstanding. My Ireland Tour really knew how to put a package together to suit everyone one’s interests. Well done!

This trip was high on my bucket list. I could not be more pleased. We had a small group, a GREAT guide (Tony), and nice hotels throughout the ten day tour. I hope to return again, and if/when I do, I will book with MyIrelandTour again. I loved every minute of my trip.

I did the 10 day iconic scenic tour of Ireland and I had Tony as my driver. This was their first tour in 2.5 years and I told Tony that this was honestly my favorite holiday I have ever had and it truthfully was. My wife and I learned so much about Ireland and the views were more beautiful than I imagined. I will definitely do another tour with this company again in the future, likely a Northern Ireland/Scotland tour. The only thing that I would watch is the itinerary on your last day and what time you schedule your departure flight because our very last thing was a traditional Irish music night that ended a little after 10:00pm and my wife and my flight was at 6:00am so we went on 3 hours of sleep but it was still an amazing tour and amazing trip.

We got our trip to Ireland fixed in early 2020 planned to be started in May 2020. Due to the well known circumstances we managed to realise it only in September 2021. During this whole period we were in touch with Eric O'Gormann, permanently informed about the actual situation. Our tour finally took place as planned and we could benefit from an experienced tour-guide taking care of us (non native English-speakers). The private tour allowed us not only to be briefed as usual, but also to ask questions, all answered by our guide George profoundly and competently. In addition most of the touristic hotspots were well accessible and we didn't miss the crowds. These seven days trough southern Ireland were really great - even if we missed the full Irish experience (not even one rainy day!).

We booked and paid in full for a private tour for family and friends for August 2020. As we all know that wasn’t going to happen :( we hoped 2021 we would still be able to go, unfortunately it just wasn’t a good time. They offered a full refund in March 2020 but we decided to take the risk and not ask for a refund then. In February 2021 with a heavy heart we asked for a refund, we received every cent back in just a few short days. I’d like to start by saying Kristel was fabulous through the entire process of booking and eventually cancellation. My husband communicated regularly with her to add things we would like to see and to get updates once the world was hit with COVID-19. The professionalism, transparency and kindness this company showed us should be commended. Without a doubt when my family is able to travel to Ireland we will use this company. Honestly I could not sing enough praise for Kristel and My Ireland Tours do not hesitate to book with this company.

We had an absolutely stellar time. Kevin O'Sullivan was our guide and he is really just an angel. A sweet, knowledgeable, patient man who is funny to boot. Absolutely couldn't ask for more. The bus was clean and safe and Kevin pointed out everything along the ways ti our destination. We invited him to dinner with us one night and we really all had such a blast. Thank you so so much!

My husband and I took the 8 person 8-day Dingle tour. Our driver and guide was the lovely David O'Neil. He was wonderful, patient and answered all of our questions. A great driver and a great guide; teaching us all about Irish history, culture and landscapes. The accommodations were wonderful. The food was great. The tours were informative and fun. If you are interested in taking this tour we recommend that you arrive a day or 2 earlier if you need to adjust to the time change. Would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks!

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland on the 10 day Iconic Ireland tour. I rarely write reviews, but I just had to share my thoughts. I had never traveled with this tour company, and didn't know anyone who had. The entire trip was truly an exceptional experience. The hotels, the 3 course dinners ,the itinerary and excursions were well chosen and thoughtfully planned. The highlight of our trip was guide/driver Tony. I can't sing his praises enough. Tony was wonderful in every way. He deeply cared that everyone should be safe, happy, and have an awesome time in Ireland, and that we did. Tony's knowledge of Ireland was exemplary. He brought the culture and history of Ireland to life. My Ireland tours has thought about and planned this tour very well. Bravo!

We did the north and south tours in October 2019. We had a different guide/driver for each trip and both were excellent. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Hotel accomodations were very good and food was adequate. Food menus for dinner were basically the same at each hotel. We did choose to eat out a few times to have some variety. The bus was comfortable and clean. We dealt with Martina and she was very helpful answering all our questions. Great service from the all the staff we dealt with. We would highly recommend My Ireland Tours if you're planning on travelling to Ireland.

We just got home from our tour of the northern half of Ireland and we had a fabulous time! I had contacted My Ireland re their 8 day tour - but because it was late in the season they advised that they were not running the 8 person tour anymore — but would our group of 3 like to do it as a private tour? I was worried about the cost but they shaped our tour by suggesting we finish in Dublin for the last two days on our own (ie self-guided rather than a driver/guide)— which made it fit our budget. It was perfect!! Eric modified a few things as per our request - he could not have been more accommodating! Off we set with our wonderful driver/ guide Ger Murphy - he was terrific! Great stories - great little spots that he knew - he made sure we got to see everything we wanted to see. I have some issues walking and so having Ger pick us up, drive right to the best spots, and drive us through scenic routes was wonderful. He was so kind and thoughtful. Two local guides that were arranged for Derry and Belfast were excellent - we learned so much - and to see the murals close up - amazing. Ger made sure we got to see the wild Atlantic Way, and when a manor house we were scheduled to tour was not available - he quickly arranged for another - we were more than satisfied. We would absolutely book with My Ireland again — and Ger - we miss your smiling face and good humour!

First and foremost, the driver/guide can make or break a trip like this. There is a lot of travel on the bus to see all the wonderful sites Ireland has to offer. Having the right driver is essential to a successful trip. My driver, Tony McGoey, was absolutely the best. He was totally competent behind the wheel even in the worst traffic and intermittent rain downpours. He was such a 'mother hen' to our group (in a good way) making sure we knew exactly where to go and what to do at each stop. Reminding us to take our coats and umbrellas. Cautioning us of potential dangers at certain sights such as uneven ground or areas with no rails. I honestly think he 'waited up' in the hotel lobby one night when some of us decided to venture into town on our own in small groups. Tony filled the time between stops by providing us interesting information about Ireland's political structure, education system, medical services, and more. He even taught us an Irish song and tutored us in clapping so we could participate in one of the evening events later in the tour. Having a comfortable, roomy, reliable bus is also essential. The buses appear to be new. Very clean and comfortable. On board bathroom and Tony kept water available as well. Huge windows so it was easy to see the sights. We stayed at four different hotels, all first class accommodations with on premises dining. A couple of them had a full service spa and I believe two had a pool. All hotels had a bar. Wifi Internet service was available in all hotels as well. Be aware, a room with two beds has one queen or king and one twin. Beds, bedding, linens, and towels were all good quality. Plenty of pillows as well. Hair dryer in every room. But, not one bathroom had any kind of electric plug except for a shaver. Provided meals had many options to choose from. Breakfasts were all buffet with the expected Irish breakfast fare options and much more. Dinners were three course with typically three Appetizer choices, three Entree choices and either a dessert medley or a couple of dessert options. As for the tour stops, I cannot imagine a tour that could have been any more comprehensive than this one. We stopped at all the Irish points of interest I had heard of and many more I had not. Plenty of bathroom/refreshment stops. I honestly cannot think of anything negative to say about this tour.

Wonderful 15 Day Tour of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The bus was very comfy, with power and WiFi at every seat. The hotels were ALL lovely with large breakfasts and very good dinners. The goodbye dinner with traditional Irish music and Irish dancers at the Merry Ploughboys Pub was fabulous and the perfect way to end to our terrific trip. Both Pat (north) and Mark (Republic) were delightful driver/guides who went out of their way to help each of us as needed. They both were amenable to stops not advertised and let us know that the 26 of us were 'in charge'. We saw so much of Ireland and, more importantly, learned so much about the island! My Ireland Tours is highly recommended to all!

We had a lovely tour of Ireland with our small group and Joe our tour guide. We especially enjoyed the Ballynhahinch Castle Hotel stay and the Cahernane House Hotel. Lots of beautiful countryside along with many highlights of Ireland. Delicious meals, a comfortable bus, good weather, all in all a great vacation!

Patti and I were on the 10 day My Ireland Tour returning home on Sept. 25, 2019. Both of us could not of had a better time. Ireland is truly beautiful and we thought our tour had to have included all the best areas to see. The accomodations were more than adequate. All four of the cities where we stayed had many interesting and wonderful areas to see and explore. The group of people we were with on this tour were tremendous as well. Everyone got along well which made the trip very enjoyable as we all were able to appreciate and discuss Ireland together. Both of us agree the one common factor making this trip so memberable and wonderful was our guide and driver Tony. His knowledge and commentary during the trip was so interesting and informative. His detailed historical, social, religious and political information gave us a more complete understanding and appreciation of Ireland and its people. Tony's singing of several traditional Irish songs on the bus was also a bonus. In our opinion, there was not one negative aspect of the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and as a fact,we already have. Thanks My Ireland Tour and thank you Tony for providing a wonderful trip for us.

We were a party of 4 and Ger Murphy was our amazing driver/tour guide. He was truly the best part of the trip. So informative and such a great sense of humor. We are back for a day and already miss him. We learned so much about Ireland. We found the people to be incredibly friendly everywhere we went. The entire process from making the reservations to the trip itself was so easy. Any questions we had we had were answered quickly by Eric. The hotels we stayed in were all beautiful and included full breakfasts. Ger made dinner reservations for us for a few nights and his choices were always fantastic. One of the members of our party lost his raincoat and Ger actually gave him one of his coats from home, as a gift. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone thinking of traveling to Ireland.

Our driver Colm was so thoughtful, informative and entertaining. We had fun on the bus and at every step along the way. We strongly recommend My Ireland Tour for your next trip to Ireland. It was great craic.

This was my first time to Ireland and I can't praise this company enough. We did the 10 day Iconic Tour and traveling was so organized, beginning with the pickup from the airport, hotel check-ins, and entry to tourist sites. The hotel accommodations and meals were excellent and always lots to eat. Aside from all the beautiful scenery our driver Tom was very knowledgeable about Ireland present and past. He took excellent care of the group and was always there for our tour group if we needed something. I loved my Ireland Tour and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the beautiful country of Ireland. I will definitely recommend this tour to future travelers to Ireland and I plan on returning in the near future.

We did a LOT of homework of tours of Ireland in late 2018 before landing on My Ireland Tour for our visit in September 2019. This choice was based on the duration, highlights, included meals, cost and previous TripAdvisor reviews. Two friends joined us on our 15 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour (South & North) tour, and we all agreed it far exceeded our high expectations. Our guides, especially “don’t even jokingly call me Gollum” Colm, were encyclopedically knowledgeable, hugely entertaining and very accommodating of specific requests. The hotels and meals were superb, especially the final night at the Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links. Free time was usually just what we needed. We highly recommend this company, and especially this double-tour.

We had a group of 9. Our tour guide Brendan was great. His knowledge of Irish history and all the towns added so much to our experience. We were able to see so much more with Brenden's help than we would have by ourselves. Our 9 passenger van was clean comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour.

We spent over a year researching a small group (9 cousins) guided tour of Ireland. My Ireland Tours was FANTASTIC! Martina walked us through every step of the way, she always answered our questions promptly and helped us make decisions. Our itinerary was wonderful, we started in Dublin, then went to Killarney, Cork, Beara Penninsula, Connemara and Galway (with all the major sites along the way). Our driver Ben was utterly fabulous.He told stories, sang songs, made suggestions and was patient with our requests. We stayed in a combination of city hotels, Glasha Farmhouse (don't miss it if you can, Olive is wonderful and the pub up the lane is a hoot) and Ballynahinch Castle, which was spectacular, even in the rain. We all agreed we had zero complaints and My Ireland is the way to go!

Ireland is a beautiful country and My Ireland Tour had a wonderful itinerary with the 10 day Iconic Scenes tour. Our family of 5 went along with 2 cousins. Everything was taken care of and we were able to just enjoy ourselves along with the other wonderful people on our tour. Colm Clarke was our guide and he was OUTSTANDING! Fun, energetic, full of knowledge, and took care of any question or guidance we needed with a smile. Just fantastic! Our young adult children have been imparting Irish history to their friends since being back - they learned so much from Colm. I'm very glad we booked with My Ireland Tour. They have our whole family's highest recommendation!

September 2019 • Deluxe Castles Tour
We just returned from a 10 day Deluxe Castle Tour and had an absolute fantastic trip. Working with Martina prior to the trip was really nice as she was quick to respond to our questions. Our tour director/driver, Nigel really made the trip a very special and memorable one for all of us as he was very knowledgeable, informative, responsible, and he made us laugh quite a bit with his humor (and he even sang a few lines of songs for us which was a good touch). Nigel was very accommodating for any special requests. According to him, he even arranged for the good weather we experienced, or so he said. Our group was amazing as we had 26 total people which is a very good and manageable size. Many new friendships were made and the group exchanged email addresses, took a group picture with our driver and many new phone numbers are now in my phone so we can stay in touch. We quickly all became very comfortable with each other which made for a fantastic tour. Ireland is such an amazing country and the Irish people were very friendly; the sites and places we toured were beautiful, wonderful, and educational. The other tour guides at some of the stops were so informative and obviously wanted to share their love for Ireland. The accommodations and food were excellent. This really was the perfect 1st trip to Ireland for us and we really have a big thanks for Nigel for making the trip so special.

September 2019 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
My two friends and I took the 10 Day Ireland Tour. Our driver/guide was Colm and he made the trip for us. It was a packed, well organized tour so that we could get in as much as we could. Colm made suggestions for eating, shopping, extra sights to see and would go out of his way to find something out for us, accommodate any requests, and gave us great information on the sights we were seeing and the history of Ireland. We saw so much and I know there is so much more to see. The hotels were amazing and the meals fantastic - the soups! There were 24 on our tour, just the right number, and Colm took the time to learn about each and every one of us. It's so hard to pick a favorite place but Connemara and the Ring of Kerry truly stand out. The weather cooperated and was nice, the bus was comfortable, clean and we were able to recharge our electronics, use wifi while we were traveling. I raved about this trip so much, my husband now wants to go. And I could go again because I am sure I missed things because there is so much to see. Martina, Colm, and the whole company made sure our 10 day tour was all that it could be. We didn't have to worry about logistics, Colm got us where we wanted to go, most of our meals were taken care of, and it was great not being in a different hotel every night. The 2 nights in a hotel was just right. Thanks My Ireland Tour for a wonderful experience.

September 2019 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
Has to be the best coach tour of Ireland. 10 day Iconic Ireland Tour. We were a party of 4 from UK with 26 very nice Americans. 26 people in a coach for 34 so plenty of room to move around. On board WC and bottled water. Very comfortable coach. The tour packed in a very full itinerary hitting all of the important tourist destinations and many more side trips. Hotels were all good 4-star quality. Food was generally good from a limited menu and very good at some hotels. Suitcases were taken from the coach directly to the rooms. Staff in hotels were attentive and pleasant in all but the Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge. This was the last hotel on the tour and in the restaurant coach parties were treated as second class customers. Struggled to get a wine list or secure a drinks order. No coffee with meal and no bottled water in the room. Front desk and bar staff were better. They did book a taxi to the airport for us. What really made the tour exceptional was the Driver/Guide Tony McGoey. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Irish. He gave a comprehensive appraisal of every site visited and provided a detailed overview of the history of the island of Ireland North and South. He outlined the politics of the island both historical and contemporary. He also explained how tax, healthcare, education and driving differs from the US and UK. He kept the tour to time perfectly and even threw in a few additional side trips to pleasant seaside towns. His driving was impeccable instilling confidence in his passengers.

15 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland. We had a wonderful time with 'My Ireland Tours travelling with 23 Americans and the two of us from the U.K. It was a good group and we would, unreservedly recommend the tour to anyone wishing to taste the joys and sights of Ireland in just 14 days. It was, simply, a classy, slick tour. Oisin Quinn took us round Southern Ireland for the first 10 days and was a safe and caring driver/guide and the coach we travelled in was very comfortable with numerous empty seats so we could 'spread out' if we wanted to. He kept to schedule which meant that we arrived on time at the various sites and attractions so we usually had enough time to absorb what we were visiting and seeing. What was impressive about the whole tour was the fact that all our hotel key cards and all admission tickets, wherever we went, were immediately to hand – no queuing up anywhere which was a real plus. The hotels were carefully selected by 'My Ireland Tours'and were of an extremely high standard, as was the food – though you had to like mashed potato as it was served at every meal!! In addition we had two lunches provided in Southern Ireland, 'The Blind Piper pub' and at the Kilkenney farmhouse – both super choices. Brendan McEvoy became our driver/guide round Northern Ireland which was an equally excellent trip. The expert guides who took over from Oisin or Brendan at various places were of a very high standard, knowledgeable and able to put across the salient points extremely well. In short we had a wonderful time and would certainly consider other tours with this excellent Company.

We were a family of five that wanted a custom tour on our schedule. My Ireland Tours planned our itinerary, hotels, and private driver. The Mercedes van was brand-new. The driver was more historian than anything. Elder parents could travel at our pace. Front row parking everywhere. Can't say enough about this tour company. Pure professionals.

We did a wonderful tour of Ireland with two wonderful guides: Harry was our guide for the tour of the Republic of Ireland (6 days). He was outstanding! We learned so much background information from him...along with the myths (lol). Our group was wonderful (24 of us). My Ireland Tours outdid themselves; we saw so much! My favorite was the Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Stone and the woollen Mills! Our guide for Northern Ireland (4 days) was Liam. This was a tour for the 4 of us created by My Ireland Tours. What a wonderful time we had! Liam filled us in on background information before we went on a tour. While the Titanic was a hit, my favorite was the NE coast and Giant's Causeway! We would recommend this tour to everyone!

After returning from our 10 day Iconic Tour of Ireland, my intention was to write the BEST review ever written for Tom Lavin, our driver/guide, Martina Hegarty, our behind the scenes coordinator, and My Ireland Tours. However, as I read the many reviews on the website, I realized I couldn't top the A++ reviews that have already been posted. I'll give it my best though. I firmly believe that a successful company is only as great as the people who work there. Tom Lavin and Martina Hegarty are great ambassadors for My Ireland Tours. The immediate, helpful, and kind correspondence with Martina was so valuable to us as we planned our tour. She even went above and beyond to help with a last minute request shortly before our tour started. Tom Lavin expertly drove and guided us on our 10 day adventure. We learned so much from Tom about Ireland's history, iconic landmarks, and information about current day Ireland. We loved the anecdotes that Tom added about his life growing up in Ireland and about his family. When Tom talked on the microphone, you could hear a pin drop because his commentary was so interesting, and we didn’t want to miss anything that he said. Pretty amazing since there were 26 of us! Tom's leadership, humor, kindness, and patience were appreciated by all. Our itinerary, hotels, meals and included tours were all excellent. My Ireland Tours is a phenomenal company. I will continue to sing your praises to anyone thinking about visiting Ireland!

We just returned from 10 Iconic Scenes of Ireland and had a wonderful time. The best parts were: our tour director/driver, Tom, he was extremely knowledgeable, informative, responsible, and he made us laugh a lot, we can't compliment him enough, he made the trip, he even arranged for the good weather we had, or so he said; the size of the group was another plus, 26 people is a nice size, we could move as a group easily and quickly became comfortable with each other; of course, Ireland is amazing and the Irish people are so very welcoming; the sites and places we toured were wonderful, the guides at every stop were so informative and obviously excited about their jobs and sites; and last but not least were our stops at Jameson and Guinness in addition to the Irish musicians we saw along the way. The accommodations and food were a cut above. This was a perfect 1st trip to the Island of Ireland for us. Thanks.

What an amazing tour company! Eric was wonderful to work with when putting together our private tour. He planned it just right for the 8 of us, hitting all the major stops around Ireland. The accommodations they coordinated were nice as well, unique to Ireland and great locations which allowed us to walk to dinners each night. Our guide Liam was superb. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind with 20+ years of guiding experience. Our whole group would highly recommend My Ireland Tour Company and Liam.

September 2019 • Deluxe Castles Tour
My wife and I, along with another couple with whom we are close friends, had the pleasure of enjoying the Deluxe Castle 10 day tour beginning August 4, 2019. Let me say the accommodations, comprised of 5 castles/hotels were top notch, as was the delectable food we enjoyed at each venue. One venue was better than the next, and they were ALL excellent. We stayed two nights at each venue, with the exception of the first, at which we stayed one night. Our tour guide/driver, Tom Lavin, was excellent. He was accommodating, informative and humorous, and provided much insight about Ireland and its people. Tom's driving was amazing, as he navigated many rural roads and quaint towns expertly. The coach bus was quite comfortable and provided Wi-Fi and charging stations for our cell phones. The tour itself was incredible as we left Dublin, headed north to Northern Ireland, then to NW Ireland, and then south along the east coast, down to Kerry/Killarney, then west and northwest back to Dublin. We enjoyed so many attractions along the way, and loved the beautiful and scenic Irish countryside and its quaint towns, including Donegal, Westport, Galway and Killarney. Dublin was amazing, and we actually tacked on a few days to enjoy Dublin a bit longer. The Irish people we met were super friendly and just a joy. This was a truly memorable trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to see as much of a beautiful country as one can see within a 10 day period of time. Excellent!!!

How many good things can I say about My Irish Tours. My answer is not enough. Let's start with the tour (Ours was the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland option): The one phrase description that comes to mind is 'well paced'. My spouse and I are past the time when we choose to wake up at dawn and keep traveling til dusk in order to see as much as possible during a day. Our tour day was typically 9 to 6. Part of that is spent resting (and viewing the wonderful countryside) while being driven to another interesting area or place. We saw and experienced plenty of wonderful and interesting areas each day, had good guides for the historical areas, and sufficient time to explore on our own. Accommodations and travel: I can find no fault with the accommodations that were arranged for us. We usually stayed in a hotel for two days while exploring nearby areas. It's surprisingly feels much less hectic than tours where it's a different hotel most days. They were all comfortable, clean, and restful, with pleasant and accommodating staff members. And for others who travel while keeping tabs on work or home, we experienced reliable wi fi at each hotel. The bus used to transport us around Ireland was comfortable, clean, and roomy. A bonus was usb charging stations at each seat, and the bus provided wi fi. People: Two words...just wonderful. Our driver/guide Tony was and is fantastic. Personable, knowledgeable, capable, organized, helpful, entertaining. He seems to have personal contacts at each hotel and attraction. He shared history, background, and anecdotes during our travels. I really want to clone him for our next trip. Martina (at the office) was wonderful at helping us keep track of our trip planning, providing itinerary updates (no major changes) and insights, packing advice (bring a water resistant windbreaker with a hood), and all other administrivia.

We had a great tour with My Ireland Tours. We particularly enjoyed our driver/guide, Ben O'Sullivan -- just a good guy with a lot of Irish history. He was kind, considerate and fun to be with -- and was a terrific singer of Irish ballads! The size of the small bus is what made this tour work for us -- only 7 of us plus Ben. Much better than those big 35-passenger buses. Hotels and food were great, but would have liked to spend more time in Galway and Killarney. Only one day, from Galway to Killarney, seemed too long in the bus, although part of that was due to nasty traffic. Had a great time and would recommend the small-sized My Ireland Tours to others -- it provided us first-timers a good sampling of southern Ireland.

What an amazing tour of such a beautiful country! My husband and I and our two friends took the 10-Day Deluxe Castle Tour August 4th-13th, 2019. From the very beginning,Martina and Kristel were a huge help in answering a myriad of questions and made us feel comfortable and secure. We added on an extra day at the end of the trip and they made the coordination easy. Our driver/guide Tom was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable and informative about the culture, history, and politics of Ireland. Tom was witty and also shared a few personal stories about his family, which made us feel connected to a true Irishman. The tour itself was fantastic. We travelled from Dublin, up north to Northern Ireland, along the west coast, down to Cork and back up to Dublin. The castles and hotels were the finest and it was relaxing to be able to stay 2 nights in each place. The days were full, but it was the only way to see as much as we did. We really felt that we knew so much about Ireland when we finished our trip.There was free wifi on the tour bus, and plenty of room as there were 22 of us in the group and there was room for 35 on the bus. We made new friends and ate the most delicious meals. Tom took very good care of us, driving safely, taking care of our luggage and making sure we kept on schedule. This was one vacation that we will always remember with the fondest of memories. I would highly recommend going on a My Ireland Tour.

My Ireland Tour was an amazing company to travel with! All of the logistics were handled well, all of the accommodations were amazing, all of the other tour members were great company, George was fantastic, making our trip a lifetime worth of memories. We're already planning on how to return to this wonderful country and we will 100% be using My Ireland Tour to do so. Thank you so much for a wonderful 25th anniversary celebration!

We just returned from the Six Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour. As we were considering this tour and after booking it, Martina Hegarty answered several questions promptly and graciously. Brian Treanor, our driver/guide, happily took us from the airport to our splendid hotel, introducing us to Ireland and answering questions. During each and every day of our excursion, it was clear that Brian's goal was to make everyone's trip comfortable and memorable. His narrations were so interesting that I took notes, which I will share with family. Additionally, we were impressed with his superb driving skills. This six-day tour skillfully highlights the most popular attractions in Ireland. Our accommodations were terrific. We confidently recommend My Ireland Tours.

We recently did the Southern Ireland ring and it was amazing! Every single detail about this trip was perfectly planned and worth every penny! It was everything I expected and more. Our guide Dave was very knowledgeable, fun, and easy going. We really lucked out with a super group of people too. I highly recommend the 8 person tour and a “spot” of lunch at ‘Harry Lemon’. Five stars and two thumbs up for this tour!

Our group of 3 couples just returned from a private tour of Northern Ireland. Krystal did a fantastic job setting up our itinerary and was very easy to communicate with. She answered all our questions and gave us great suggestions. The accommodations and sites she booked for us were perfect! Our on line account made it simple for each couple to pay tour fee by credit card and safely. It was a great convenience having our entry fees and hotels were taken care of ahead of our arrival and we could just show up and walk into our accommodation or travel site. Brian was our driver/guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about Northern Ireland - just what we needed and we loved his local insight! Brian was professional, punctual and fun! He knew all our names after our first meet and we felt completely comfortable traveling with him. The vehicle we traveled in was wonderful - walk on and enough clearance to actually stand and walk to your seats, huge windows for every passenger so each of us had unobstructed wide open views of the beautiful countryside we traveled through. We would all use My Ireland Tour again and recommend them to all!

Our family of 6 took a private tour, including our 2 year old granddaughter, and it is a trip we will never forget! Our guide/driver was Roy Moore and he educated, entertained and watched out for us throughout the whole trip. His driving skills were superb and the Mercedes bus was comfortable and roomy. It was pure bliss to be able to sit back and relax and leave the organizing and driving to Roy. He did all we asked and then some, no detail was too small. I learned more about Ireland from Roy than I ever knew. The accommodations and included meals were fantastic. The Imperial Hotel Cork was especially helpful and courteous changing a room at the last minute. I can't thank Kristel enough for her care putting our itinerary together. She listened to what we wanted and worked with us to fine tune parts of it, until it was just right. We will happily recommend My Ireland Tours to anyone thinking of vacationing in Ireland. From start to finish, a great experience!

Our experience with our My Ireland tour of Northern Ireland was very good. We appreciated the well planned itinerary, which included interesting stops as well as some down time each day. The accommodations and food exceeded expectations. Our specialty guides were very informative and personable. Our bus driver/guide was outstanding, one of a kind – do you get me? We will take a piece of Northern Ireland home with us in our hearts.

Just returned from the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. It was a wonderful experience. I have toured Ireland 14 times. Our driver/guide, Mark< was the best driver I have ever worked with. He is knowledgable, witty, accommodating, kind and genuine. I appreciated MIT's flexibility, since eight of our group on 11 wanted to take the full day in Galway to voyage to the mystical Aran Islands. The excursion was astounding. The trip is well organized and informative. The final show at The Merry Plowboy was actually authentic and incredibly entertaining. The hotels were great, the meals tasty and the hotel staffs very engaging and helpful.

My husband and I did a weeklong private tour with My Ireland Tour. Brian, our driver, was amazing and so accomodating. Brian narrated as he drove, stopping at other points of interest that weren't even in our itinerary. He let us add things as we went along. The hotels were so wonderful. Kristel and Eric planned a great itinerary, hitting all the places we wanted to see. We highly recommend My Ireland Tour and would most definitely use them again.

I admit, I was a bit anxious about a group guided tour because I tend toward social anxiety. This tour was relaxed enough and gave everyone enough freedom that I found it delightful and most memorable. Our guide, Niall, was a big part of that. He was looking out for us all the time and constantly finding ways to enhance our experience. He has a passionate devotion to his country but uses his sense of humor to keep and communicate an intriguing perspective. Ireland is not a hard sell, with its complex, fascinating history, congenial people and natural beauty, but Niall’s narrative truly drew me in and made me feel a part of it.“ Happy enough”, indeed.

Took mini-group tour of southern part of Ireland. 8 of us in a nicely-kitted-out Mercedes Sprinter. Our driver/guide, Barry, was great and all 8 of us got along very well. Not a rushed tour; had free time. All hotels great, esp. Ballynahinch castle. Some very nice dinners included -- at the castles. Scenery and stops all very nice. Highly recommend this tour, esp. if you don't like 40 on a bus!
Elizabeth Davidson
July 2019 • 6 Day Iconic Scenes
We traveled as a couple in late June 2019. Touring is a great way to see the country. Ben, our Tour Guide and driver, was a passionate Irishman whose love for all things Irish, helped bring the Tour alive. From geology to history to agriculture and music, Ben gave us more than a drive through the country. He was a cultural guide who shared his love of his country. The countryside, towns and villages and the folk we met along the way made the journey one to remember. We were blessed with a beautiful bunch of people on the Tour which made for some lively happy times on and off the bus. This was our first Tour ever and it was a very good experience. You must be ready for the up-and-go nature of Touring; there's not much time to spend anywhere, but there are restful times to be had on the bus and the hotel accommodation was good - terrific in Dublin and good in Limerick. We would recommend the Tour to anyone wanting to see a big swathe of the country and if you're lucky enough to get Ben, that's a bonus! Thanks to all involved.

This was my first tour group and all I can say is WOW! I did the 10 day Iconic Tour and traveling was so easy and effortless beginning with the pickup from the airport, hotel check-ins, porter service and entry to tourist sites. The hotel accommodations and meals were excellent and first-class! The best part besides the beautiful scenery and sights was our driver, Tony! His knowledge of Irish history, culture, and trivia was outstanding and most important his wit and humor. Our group was always laughing and enjoying ourselves. He took excellent care of the group and I'm not sure how he did it, but he arranged for perfect weather the whole tour ,except for the one day that I wanted to experience an Irish rain day). I loved my Ireland Tour and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the beautiful country of Ireland. I will definitely use My Ireland tour for future visits.

July 2019 • Historic Irish Castle Tour
Great tour itineraries & they take care of you. I did two tours back-to-back and they were wonderful. The Castles & Backroads Tour was my absolute dream trip & MIT delivered: it was great staying two nights in one place instead of bouncing around every single night, perfect balance of bus time-stops-walking ,my feet did not hurt once from too much walking). Wi-Fi on the bus was a pleasant surprise and ended up being a necessity for me. Our driver/narrator, George, was so kind and incredibly knowledgeable, and not to mention provided some great craic! He made sure we all were on the bus each time we pulled out, and even made sure each and every one of us was taken care of transportation-wise at the end, if we were not using MIT's services to get to the airport. The one request agreed by most was to have dinner a bit earlier. Since they tend to be longer dinners ,2-3 hours), ending late deterred a lot of us from hitting the town at night. When this concern was voiced, our driver/guide/MIT got a few of our dinners moved earlier to accommodate - true service. Not much free time, but it was a well-packed schedule to maximize the trip, and if you so choose you can forgo a scheduled tour and explore on your own ,just let your driver know!).

We went on a 10 day tour of Deluxe Irish Castles with My Ireland Tours. The tour was fantastic and we got to see a great deal of IReland and the Castles which we stayed at were fantastic. We had a fantastic driver guide, Ger Murphy, who took us to places not on the Itinerary which made our trip special. Highly recommend this tour and if possible to get Ger Murphy as your guide.

My group of 5 Malaysians enjoyed our 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland starting 17 June 2019. We experienced exceptional Irish weather with only one full day of rain while we were in Cork. The other days had occasional showers, cloudy and sunny weather with very comfortable cool temperatures for us. The relatively small group enabled us to get to know the rest of the group and also enjoy plenty of space in the full size coach. The pace was very comfortable with 2 nights in each hotel while touring and each day starting from 9am and ending before 6pm. Food was plentiful with multi-choice 3 course dinners every night. For us, we wish to suggest more varieties of taste for the menu. Our driver guide Tony was amazing; driving safely, giving running commentaries, checking us into the hotels and giving us our room keys, organizing the luggage pickup and delivery, keeping the coach windows clean every morning and frequently checking with us that everything is okay. Definitely will recommend to our friends.

Castles and Backroads tour end of June 2019. Pretty nice set up and planning by this 5-star company. Food was very good ,too much of it, and coach was always on time. Our driver was spectacular. Well informed, on time, pleasant and kind. The quality of hotels ,castles, were really good, comfortable beds and full of historic flavor. I would definitely use this your company again. Very happy with everything.

I already miss our time in Ireland with this group of wonderful people! My husband and I, along with our great friends, were here to celebrate both of our 30th anniversaries. Ireland was a bucket list item for all of us! Our tour guide, Tony, was truly amazing! He was knowledgeable about Irish history and culture. He was also naturally witty. Tony was attentive to every detail of the trip, making sure everyone was taken care of at all times. I also loved all the people we met on the trip, from all over the place! We all got along very well and I enjoyed making new friends! The hotels were beautiful and a breeze to check in to. The tour was a perfect balance of culture, fun, and time to explore! Thank you for taking my mind off of work, etc. and giving me a one-of-a-kind experience!

My husband and I absolutely adored the country of Ireland and are anxious to return. Our tour guide, Colm, was both informative and funny throughout the duration of the trip. We never felt rushed at any particular location and enjoyed the freedom to explore local towns and pubs on our own while still receiving advise from Colm. If you want to get a glimpse of the different landscapes of Ireland, I highly recommend the Dingle tour. We look forward to returning to Ireland soon!

June 2019 • Deluxe Castles Tour
The 10-day Deluxe Castles Tour is the trip of a lifetime. We stayed at five luxury castles/hotels. Each one was rich with history and beauty. We loved swimming in the indoor pool, riding bikes and walking trails around gorgeous lakes. We also visited many of the historic sites in Ireland such has Derry, Kylemore Abbey, the Cliffs of Moher and Trinity College. Our tour guide Michael Coleman, a true Irishman, made the historical and cultural significance of the Irish people clear. Michael welcomed us to Ireland with consideration for each person's interests and wellbeing.

Hi we did the Iconic scenes tour in June 2019 and I can only recommend this to anyone . The itinerary was well structured , the group size although at the maximum of 26 was small enough to really work well and the hotels were excellent and well located. The stops and routes were always interesting with some outstanding highlights . Our tour guide Tony was absolutely top class and everything worked seamlessly so you could really just relax and enjoy. What a pleasure.

I wouldn't visit Ireland any other way!

16 women. 1 half marathon. 10 days. I can't say enough about how wonderful our Patterson Party tour in June, 2019 was. Peter Mullen was the driver extroidinaire! He was so knowledgable about the sights we needed to see, answered our questions and participated when we wanted some fun! Peter made sure we had plenty of time and met all our deadlines when we had some. We felt like family!

June 2019 • 6 Day Iconic Scenes
We had an absolutely incredible time during our 6-Day Iconic Tour of Ireland during June 2019. We began planning the trip more than 6 months in advance and Martina was very helpful during the process to include assisting us in reserving hotel rooms for additional nights. Our tour guide/driver - Kieran was amazing. Not only was he a very impressive driver as he maneuvered the charter bus around the country but his knowledge of Ireland ranged from agriculture, to industry, to economic to an amazing knowledge of Irish history to include Viking history of which I knew nothing. We were lucky to have a great group to travel with - I don't recall anyone complaining about a single thing for the entire trip which is rare when you have 22 adults together. I don't think we can give Kieran credit for the weather but we were very fortunate to have perfect weather each day so as to be comfortable and to be able to enjoy viewing the Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry as well as Blarney Caste. We didn't know anything about the monastery at Glendalough before going and I actually thought a monastery would be boring - BUT - we were blown away by this place, the history, the beauty, the spiritual feeling you couldn't help but get there. We loved it, it was worth the cost and worth the planning.

Our family of 5 took a private week long trip through Ireland with My Ireland tours in May. We can't say enough wonderful things about the trip starting with Kristel, our travel agent with the company. She helped us plan a family trip to remember! Our bed and breakfasts were superb, and the two hotels very clean. We were able to visit the town of my husband's relatives, and even found the very old cemetery off the beaten path with the help of our Driver/Guide, Austin McArdle and some locals! That was very special to us!. Austin was extremely knowledgeable with the history of Ireland, the specifics of the locations we visited, the best places for spectacular photo opportunities and had excellent suggestions for small excursions during our free time. He went out of his way to help us find the burial place of distant relatives and took us to some special places that he felt would be of interest to us personally... and he was right! Austin's commentary, humor, and experience with the tour process made for a seamless, delightful, and informative trip. We enjoyed being able to have ongoing conversation with him during our trip given the small size; it was very personal with immediate answers to our questions about what we were seeing. We lucked out with the weather as well, no rain!! What a beautiful country, what friendly people, what a wonderful vacation!. Thank you!

Martina, my wife Joanne and I went on the 10 day Iconic Tour of Ireland by bus. Our very first bus tour and we were unsure how comfortable this trip would be living out of our suitcase for ten days. This trip was celeb rating my 70th birthday and my Irish heritage. Thanks to your phenomenal planning of this tour and our fantastic tour guide Colm Clarke our little trip to Ireland turned into a great adventure. There was never a dull moment, the accommodations were excellent, the food was always good and plentiful, the locations and villages we stopped to visit were truly awesome. We began the tour with 26 people on the bus with us and ended the tour with 24 new friends. We can't thank you enough for making this a truly memorable experience. We haven't stopped talking about it since we have been back ,2 weeks now). We hope to return soon with friends and family to enjoy the beautiful Irish country side and the friendly hospitality of the Irish people. I am truly proud to say I am of Irish heritage. Thank you so much. The McCarthys.

We did the Ancient Ireland Mini-Group Tour ,Ring of Kerry Version, with lots of add-ons!! Eric O'Gorman designed an amazing 10 night private tour for 8 of us, and it was outstanding! Our guide Oisin was just the nicest and most accommodating person who made everything run perfectly. There were plenty of stops, and the private tour made it easy to design an itinerary that appealed to everyone. All hotels and staff were lovely, Ballynahinch Castle was just unbelievable, and Glasha Farmhouse was beautiful and as comfortable as home. Olive was an amazing hostess and we were sad to leave after just one night. In Dublin, it was also great to have Dervilla show us around, she was so entertaining and knowledgeable! Also, we were glad we added the Aran Island tour. Its such a quiet, pristine, beautiful place. The sun was shining all day and the seals were loving it too! Thank you so much for creating such a magical trip for us to Ireland.

My friend and I did the 10 day deluxe Irish castle tour in May 2019. We chose My Ireland Tour due to the glowing reviews and the itinerary that seemed perfect for everything we wanted to experience on our trip. They did not disappoint! Booking and payment was easy, excellent communication, we never felt in the dark during the planning process. To be safe we arrived in Dublin the day before our tour started and met up with our driver/guide Mark back at the airport on the first day of the tour. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mark! He worked so hard to make sure the entire trip went as smoothly as possible. He was full of information, tips, and even has a lovely singing voice! The group of 26 ,on a 34 seat bus, was the perfect size. Enough diversity to make the trip interesting without ever feeling crammed or lost in the crowd. Being able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view without the stress of driving was amazing. The accommodations were all top notch and the food was to die for. Baggage service between the bus and the hotel rooms was a treat. ,Boy did we miss that when we were back on our own in Dublin after the tour!, If you are going to Ireland ,especially for the first time, and want to make the absolute most of your time, book with My Ireland Tours!!

We have had the pleasure of booking a 10-day tour with My Ireland Tours., We could not be more satisfied with the end result. We had requested certain specific locations, and left the rest up to our contact, Mr. Eric O'Gorman. Mr. O'Gorman answered all my e-mails in a timely fashion, made sure our requests were taken care of and even added in a local historian to complete some information and details we were lacking. The vehicle was of the top quality, and the driver, Maurice Kelly, was an excellent choice for our personalities. He was truly a Godsend! All details were prearranged, hotels, meals, etc.. Never was there a problem of not having a reservation or not being expected. All ran like clockwork. The days were scheduled for plenty of time to sightsee, and still arrive at our next destination at an early hour. Very well planned, indeed. We would definitely use this tour company again ,which we plan on doing in 2021, and would highly recommend it to anyone, small group or large who wants a carefree holiday in Ireland.

We take a family trip once or twice a year – 28 of us that includes 14 kids under 16. Bus driver/tour guide – best ever! Mark was funny, kind, and very informed! Also, no accidents. He made the trip special and flexible allowing us to make additional stops never planned. Ask for Mark. The home office also went over and above to handle all the planning – and gave us the best value ,I selected My Ireland Tour, after bids and comparing three others. If the company and Mark are in the next country our family visits – no question – we would book with them.

We planned a family trip for 10 of us consisting of my family and my brother's family. We had a private bus that was fantastic with a bathroom in the back. The bus held 20 people, so we had plenty of room to spread out. Our contact at My Ireland Tour worked with us to plan the trip so that we could customize it for our family. Our tour guide, David O'Neill was great, very knowledgeable on Irish history and current events. He was also a very interesting guy with a wide range of interests and hobbies. We visited the towns our paternal grandfather and grandmother came from, so it was very personal for us. My daughter found this agency as it is rated the best in personal tours and our trip confirmed this rating.

We highly recommend My Ireland Tour for anyone who wants to visit Ireland. My wife and I joined the 10-day Deluxe Irish Castles Tour during June 2-11, 2019. It was a wonderful experience for us to get to know about Ireland: history, geography, culture, food, and people. Our tour director Tom was excellent. He was passionate in sharing various things about Ireland. We had 21 members in our group, and our fellow travelers were wonderful. They helped make our Ireland tour more enjoyable. One thing we did not have control over, was the weather. We had rain nearly everyday. But it did not rain the entire day. Instead, the weather could change quickly from sunny to cloudy to rainy, and then back to cloudy and maybe sunny in sequence. We would think the weather we experienced to be Irish too.

We would like to thank My Ireland Tours for making our trip so memorable. Our guide Tom was amazing. He went above and beyond. We have told so many people that if they ever want to go to Ireland you are the company to use. All our hotels where wonderful and above our expectations. We would definitely use My Ireland Tours again if we ever take another trip to Ireland. We planned this trip for our 40 th wedding anniversary and are so please with how we choose to celebrate. Thank you for making our trip exceptional.

Our trip to Ireland was nothing short of magnificent! Deciding to get a driver for our family of six versus driving ourselves was the best decision we made! Our driver, Colm, went above and beyond to enhance our trip every day! He has a delightful personality, extensive knowledge of Ireland sites and history, and tends to every detail. We would not have been able to see half the sites had it not been for Colm. He quickly got to know every person in our family and tailored recommendations to each of us. And, he took us to less traveled sites that were amazing, had great recommendations sites, restaurants, pubs, shopping, etc., and shared shortcuts and money saving tips. All in all, our trip was amazing because of Colm! We felt like we were leaving a dear friend behind when having to say goodbye. Much appreciation to Colm and My Ireland Tour for a great coach bus and excellent service!!

We can not say enough good things about this trip. From the very start, the booking process was seamless, the information for preparation, and details of the trip were perfect, and helpful. Martina was very quick to answer all questions, and readily willing to help with coordination of the trip, and any concerns that we may have had. Our tour was amazing and what made it so was , beautiful weather ,we were so lucky), our wonderful tour mates, the beautiful country, and first and foremost our AMAZING,FUNNY, KNOWLEDGEABLE,TALENTED, THOUGHTFUL,SKILLED bus driver/guide TONY. He drove that bus like it was a clown car,we felt safe and secure at all times. The 10 day iconic tour was a perfect amount of time to see much of this beautiful country, and their friendly people. Every day felt like something new, and never felt rushed. It was a great way to travel and see the country, without having to worry about driving, allowing the opportunity to look at the scenery instead of the road.We can not recommend My Ireland Tour, and this specific tour enough. Happy Travels.

I just returned with my family from the 6 Day Iconic Scenes tour and we had an amazing time! There were 8 of us in total and no one had any complaints... if you knew my family you'd realize how earth shattering this is! When looking for a tour company I looked for every review possible on MIT and was slightly skeptical at the lack of low reviews ,this was my first time taking an actual tour with a guide and schedule), but in reading almost every review I took a chance on MIT and do not regret it. Our tour guide/driver was Liam Finnegan and he gets a 15/10. His passion, charisma, and knowledge are off the charts! I would select another tour of his any day of the week. Thank you MIT for a phenomenal family trip, you have 8 new fans and promoters!

We are back from a 15 day May 2019 tour of the North with Mark and the South with Tom and both driver-guide were master at meeting everyone's needs and expectations, showed great professionalism and demonstrated their pride and passion for their country. The tempo is awesome as we were never rushed thoughout the 2 weeks. We were told many important facts and stories about Ireland and its history. They made our journey as enjoyable as it could possibly be and we brought back so many memories as well as great pictures. No hesitation in recommending this tour. Thanks for everything.

I led a group of photography students from Nossi College of Art out of Nashville, TN USA and from the time we stepped off the plane until the time we popped back on MIT took care of us and treated us like family. Our driver/tour guide ,Dermot, went above and beyond to make sure the college students captured picture perfect moments!!! I can't recommend this tour company enough. Hats off to Dermot for being the best in the touring business! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

We had a wonderful, memorable tour of beautiful Ireland and the Ring of Kerry. Our guide, David, and our new tour friends were exceptional! David was so knowledgeable about the history and sites, and also provided insights into every day life which made it a very fascinating trip. And we had fun! The itinerary was interesting with lots of stops; the food and accommodations were excellent. Every day went smoothly and efficiently. We especially appreciated the flexibility of the trip based on our group's interests. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour, and David as the best guide we could have hoped for! We were so fortunate to have him, and the new friends we made on this wonderful vacation!

We went on the mini group tour Ring of Kerry version. The tour guide/driver David was wonderful. He knows many things about Ireland that you can't read in any books. David was witty, helpful and the best tour guide we have ever had. David suggested many off the beaten path things to see and we all got to see things not on the itinerary. It was wonderful. The food and accommodations were both very good. The mini group of eight worked out well and we made new friends we hope to keep for a lifetime. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour. Request David if you go!

What a marvelous experience! We booked a private tour with 2 friends and loved every minute. The My Ireland staff asked what we wanted to experience and did a perfect job of making it happen--lovely B&Bs as we worked our way across the country with a stop in County Kerry to visit Irish relatives. The last night we stayed in Ballynahinch Castle--what a fabulous experience--picturesque setting, posh rooms and best dinner I've ever had. Our guide/driver Patrick was 'grand' and we felt we got an insider's view of Ireland from our conversations with him. Highly recommend this company!

The tour was fantastic! Fun, relaxing, fulfilling. Book it now! If you're still not convinced, continue reading. First of all, our driver Colm was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. His stories, history, jokes, and even singing always had me entertained on the bus ,which was relatively comfy, and is almost worth the price of admission alone. As for Ireland, Colm took us to all the popular sites and then some. What a beautiful country!!! Very mellow. Everyone we met was super nice and neighborly. Had the best Irish coffee of my life at The Red Fox Inn, and the lady just GAVE me the recipe!!! If you're not sure where to start in Ireland and especially if you don't wanna drive ,the roads are very tight, windy, and just different), I couldn't recommend this tour more!

Wow, what a fantastic 2 weeks in Ireland! My hat is off to My Ireland tour for making this a great, hassle-freevacation. I would wholeheartedly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone who is thinking of travelling or vacationing in Ireland. Our group of 7 did a custom tour of Ireland over 11 days in one of their small coaches(Mercedes-Benz Sprinter), the vehicle was very comfortable with bucket seats that have multiple charging ports to keep cameras and phones charged. The staff at My Ireland tour was extremely helpful in guiding us on how to set up the itinerary, they were always available to answer emails and questions. We did a Counter-clock wise tour of the Island starting and ending in Dublin, including a night in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We also included a day tour of Inis Oirr Island ,Aran Islands, that included seeing the Cliffs of Moher from a boat. This is definitely a 5-star company

David and I just returned from our 10-day Iconic Scenes tour. It was our first time in Ireland, & could not have been any better! The weather was amazing- it only rained part of one day. The people in our group were fabulous- lovely, funny, comfortable folks. Several of us are considering another trip together down the road! But what really made this trip fantastic was our incredible guide/driver. Tony provided the perfect blend of information and entertainment. He obviously loves his country, and did such a great job of showing us why. I will never forget some of his 'Tonyisms', or his beautiful rendition of 'Grace'. I'm sure My Ireland has other very good people, but if we ever make another trip, we wouldn't go with anybody but Tony!

We could not have been more pleased with our trip with My Ireland Tour!! We went with the 10 day iconic scenes tour and it was perfect for us. We had 4 in our party that was part of a 24 person group total ,groups are usually 26, but ours had a cancellation). The smaller group size enables a much more personal experience with more time to view the amazing sites and much less time in lines. We really liked that we had 2 nights in each hotel which gave us a chance to unwind a little at each place. Our driver/guide, Tony McGoey added so much to our trip! I was actually teary eyed when saying goodbye. His easy going manner, professionalism, historical knowledge, wit, and sense of humor were effortlessly expressed during our rides with his gentle, unhurried Irish lilt. ,We even got a couple of serenades that touched our hearts : , This was a perfect introduction to Ireland and the tour succeeded in including as much as possible without overwhelming us. Would highly recommend them!

Our tour was in May 2019. The value was amazingly good. We did both the North Ireland and the South Ireland tours. Our two tour guides were really great, looking after us, scheduling our days, and organizing our hotels and meals each day. The bus drivers knew the history of the places we were going and of Ireland in general. I recommend My Ireland Tours with our strongest recommendation.

We want to send a big thank you to My Ireland Tour for the great job they did putting together the 15 Day Iconic Tour ,March 20 – April 3, 2019). The 5 days in Northern Ireland under the guidance of Nigel O'Connor was a fantastic way to start the tour. Nigel's knowledge of the history and current issues of the island is considerable. He was able to explain Ireland’s complicated history in a very lucid manner – an admirable feat. His commentary was always thoughtful and thought-provoking. The stops along the tour were interesting, the scenery beautiful and the local people always very friendly. The short train ride along the coast following our visit to the Giant’s Causeway was most enjoyable and a nice change from the bus.

I highly recommend My Ireland Tour as they were professional from my first email enquiring about their services until they left me and my friends in our hotel the last day of the tour with them. We visited very nice places and sites and everything was very well planned and organised: accommodation, vehicle, site seeing, etc... Colm, our guide/driver, was very knowledgeable, professional and patient. He shared valuable information in every stop we made. Everything worked perfectly and that made our journey in Ireland unforgetable.

I really enjoyed this tour. Our driver-guide George C was wonderful and he was safety first at all times. He shared deep knowledge of all facets of Irish history, culture and music making the tour across many miles very enjoyable. The tour highlights were truly iconic and well paced. Just the right amount of activity versus leisure. The hotels were 4-star, service and food always great. As a single traveler I was not alone and the tour of 26 people was a great group of people-just the right size to keep in pace.

Not long back from the Iconic 10 day tour with George as driver. My first solo tour and first trip to Ireland. It won't be the last on either account. Wonderful trip, wonderful company, good food and even if it did rain a wee bit, who cares. Hotels were good throughout and well-placed and pace was good enough to suit everyone with time allowed to relax or go off and do your own thing. Thanks to My Ireland Tour for arranging everything so well! Thanks also to George for being such a careful driver and such a fount of knowledge. At long last I understand Irish history . . . I think!

My family ,11 of us total, did a private tour of Ireland & Northern Ireland, through My Ireland Tour and it was fabulous. From working with Kristel and team in the planning process, to our terrific guide, Peter, we received exceptional service. We were able to customize the places we wanted to go, as well as discover new unknown places to most tourists. The trip was the perfect balance of scheduled and free time.

We just returned from a 10 day tour of Ireland with Tom Lavin as our driver and guide. We were a group of nine people within the larger group of 26 people on the tour. We could not say enough good things about the tour and Tom Lavin. The hotels, the food, the companionship of the people on the tour were outstanding. We particularly appreciated the two night stays at 4 of the hotels. Not having to repack every night was a big bonus.

We booked a private tour with My Ireland Tour for 7 days in April and wanted to thank Kristel for planning a perfect itinerary for us, a perfect blend of history, nature, sites and authentic Irish culture. We had such an amazing time traveling through Ireland with our driver/guide, Brian Rawlings. Brian was so professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We created wonderful memories, met great people and had an incredibly fun and memorable time in Ireland. We truly enjoyed every minute of our tour and highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

We took the Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour in March 2019 with Tom Lavin. Tom was an excellent Ireland historian, Ireland current events expert, and professional driver, all with a great since of humor. He was fantastic and I can not give him high enough reviews!! He is outstanding!! Tom took our tour group on some personalized locations, that only he would know because of his knowledge and pride in his country, always showing the best of Ireland. Tom’s voice and communication skills are the definition of a professional and we are so grateful for having Tom as our guide. Ireland is a beautiful country, rich in history, ancient architecture, and natural wonders. The accommodations were excellent. The sites chosen to visit were excellent. The Irish people we met and talked with were very kind and friendly. This was a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

We just returned from the 10 Day Iconic tour with Tom Lavin as our guide. This was the best trip we have taken. We were lucky to have good weather almost every day and the 2 days we had some rain, Tom made sure we still had places to go and visit. The hotels and meals were great, and the history and information that Tom talked about made the trip and the places we visited more meaningful. The lunch on a real Irish farm was such a good part of the trip and the Farewell Dinner at The Merry Ploughboy pub with Irish music and dancing was a great way to end the tour.

We have just returned from the 10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland. We could not be more pleased with this company. Everything was handled in efficient fashion, yet flexible enough to accommodate everyone's needs and likes. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was excellent in every respect. His driving skills are phenomenal, and he delivered a prefect mix of historical knowledge and insights on current events. He was always professional while still being friendly and easy-going. The hotels were great, and the included meals provided more food than we could eat, always with several choices at dinner, and plentiful buffets at breakfast. This was out first trip to Ireland, and this tour delivered a mix of locations and sights that will not soon be forgotten. We would love to visit Ireland again, and will stay with MIT when we do. Thank you.

His sense of humor, knowledge and skills were fabulous. He provided information and details on individual requests for those of us with roots in Ireland. Martina was so responsive and helpful! The tour included a perfect blend of sites as well as authentic Irish experiences. The hotels were great and the most appreciated feature was hotel stays for two nights! Best trip we have taken! thanks!

The hotel accommodations were great. Breakfast and dinner were included. The meals were spot on especially the lunch visit to the farm. The tour has a good mix of natural, cultural and religious stops. For the price you will not find a better tour!

Since my granddaughter's Spring Break didn't seem to coincide with any offered tours I opted to arrange a private tour through My Ireland. From the first moment I contacted Eric for the planning ,and all the many mind changes I went through!, everything was streamlined and stress-free. Starting with greeting Enda at the airport with the fact that I'd broken a tooth on the airplane ,he arranged for the earliest possible appointment to have it repaired, and finishing with Jordan leaving her camera in the car when we said our final goodbyes ,he managed to magically have it appear at the hotel's front desk the next morning, - Enda did his very best to make every wish come true. Enda knew the best little gift shops ,Jordan never met a gift shop she didn't love!, - the best places to eat - and a number of little side roads that weren't on our itinerary. And he was always up for a quick stop for an ice cream cone! I'm sure someone at My Ireland even managed to make the weather behave!

We took the ten day tour with our guide Tony McGoey. Tony was a brilliant historian and we are very fortunate to have been with him for the tour. He educated us on the history of Ireland and gave us a deep appreciation of the people and culture. He is also a great singer! Tony helped us arrange seating for a dinner with my cousin Padraig Keogh during the tour. We appreciate his kindness.

Where to start! What an amazing company! From start to finish this company is top notch. My friend and I took the 10 day iconic tour, every day was filled with beautiful scenery and our guide and driver Tom Levin shared so much information and insight to what we were experiencing it was awesome! Everywhere we went the people were very friendly, the hotels were beautiful, and the food very good. Tour was well organized, the small group was nice, and the tour guides we had at a few of the sites were outstanding as well. I'd also like to mention Martina, she was always there with a quick response to any question we had. I look forward to more experiences with My Ireland Tour in the near future. I can't say enough about this company!

We took the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour and had a wonderful time. The tour shows a good cross section of the country. We appreciated the smaller group, 26 on the bus. We were lucky and had fantastic weather. Our driver was Tom Lavin, and he was top notch. I'd give him ten stars if that was an option. He's very knowledgeable, always helpful and courteous, and funny, too! We rented a car for a few days after the tour ended, and Tom gave us helpful information about driving in Ireland. The tour is very well organized from start to finish. We highly recommend this company.

I normally don't write reviews, so I will try to make this as brief and informative as possible. We recently came back from the 10-day Iconic tour to Ireland and were very pleased. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was wonderfully informative with a mixture of historical facts and info re Ireland today; he mentioned Brexit, the EU, road art, driver's licenses for teens, prices of homes in rural areas vs cities, etc., etc., etc., etc. The logistics of the tour were were well thought out, organized and executed.

We were on the 10-day Iconic Scenes tour and were very very pleased with the experience. Our driver, Tom Lavin, was fabulous! He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, professional in every way......AND a great driver. He gave great narrations of various sites and current events in Ireland, giving us insight into some inner workings & culture of the country...something we could not have gotten had we been on our own. Tom gets 10 stars from us! Martina, trip coordinator, was also fabulous. She answered e-mails promptly and made for a smooth trip. Kudos to her! Overall, we would certainly book with My Ireland Tour again.

What a marvelous experience! My husband and I were on the 5 day Northern Ireland tour from March 20-25, 2019 and enjoyed every minute of it! Our tour guide, Nigel O'Connor, was so professional and attentive to the group, always conscious of our schedule for the day but also allowing for slight changes as necessary. For example, two guests wanted to attend St. Michael's early mass one morning and that request was accommodated with an alternate pick up location for them. Thanks so much for a terrific, memorable vacation!

We considered renting a car and touring around Ireland until a friend told us about My Ireland Tour. We are so glad we booked our 15 day tour with My Ireland Tour. We learned so much about Ireland, and saw so much of the island, way more than we ever would have seen had we driven and navigated on our own. We loved Ireland – beautiful, clean countryside; amazing coastal areas; friendly people; and lots of interesting history and historical sites.

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. 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!

October 2018 • Deluxe Castles Tour
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.

I hope to return!

Choosing his tour was the best thing I did for my trip. The only thing I could possibly complain about were a couple of other tour participants, but even they couldn’t take away from how amazing this trip was. The tour included the top places I wanted to visit and a few I never would’ve known about ,but I’m happy I do now., The hotels were all incredible ,Lough Eske Castle Hotel was the highlight for me, followed by Ballynahinch!, And the meals were great too! The best part, by far, was the tour guide, Joe. His knowledge ,and the personal touch he added to every story/location, went beyond expectation. He made me smile and laugh every day. And he made me care about Ireland and it’s history, which I think is the thing that impacted me the most. When I come back, I’d only do a tour with this company and with Joe!!

We loved everything about this tour! Dublin was great, people so friendly, so much to do. The tour covered all we wanted to see on our first visit. Beautiful country. We were lucky to have mild weather. Pleased with accommodations, especially in Dublin. The Limerick hotel was ok, not as accessible to see much of Limerick. Tony our tour guide is the best guide, must request Tony on any visit!!! My Ireland Tour was great to work with and has been recommended to many friends since our vacation. Thank you to Martina and Tony and team!

October 2018 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
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.

October 2018 • Discover Northern Ireland
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 for our first travel experience to Ireland. I'm so glad I found this great tour company on Google. We had a fabulous time meeting people and enjoying the sights of Ireland. Our guide, Tom Lavin, was the perfect mix of organization and information. It was a great relief to not only having someone doing the driving but also tending to those pesky details like luggage! Thank you Tom! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Ireland with a good mix of guided tours and free time. Sincerely, Gail and Tony Cross, Junction City, Oregon.

My husband and I did the 10 Day Iconic Scenes and 5 Day Northern Ireland tours. We had never done a 'group' tour before and wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately our experience was wonderful. Our driver guide Harry for the 10 day trip was quintessential Irish and really educated us on each and every area. I felt like I really got to know the history of Ireland and the Irish people. The trip to Northern Ireland with Nigel as our guide was equally educational and enjoyable. I LOVED that the guides stuck to our schedule but also listened to the desires of the group for extra time at certain stops and made it all work. Leaving all of the logistics to Harry and Nigel meant we could just enjoy each and every location. LOVED this trip and would go back to Ireland with this company again.

We returned home truly relaxed and felt like we had a true vacation. So glad we decided to go with myirelandtours!

October 2018 • 6 Day Iconic Scenes
My Ireland's hub and spoke tour was the perfect fit for my husband, myself and my over 80 year old mother in law who had never traveled out of country before. The fact that you only move hotels once during your 6 days makes for a more restful trip overall. Yet, you do not feel short changed in what you see; you still see Dublin, parts of the Wicklow Mountains, Galway, etc. You still hit all the high lights. It really was just perfect for us. Our guide and driver, Garry Horan, could not have been more pleasant. He made us feel very safe and comfortable with his driving skills, and with the comfort and cleanliness of the bus. He was a font of knowledge of Irish history . His humor and outgoing personality helped create a camaraderie among all the passengers on the bus, which in turn added to the wonderful experience. He made each and every passenger feel taken care of. I highly recommend this tour to one and all.

Just got back from Castles and Backroads tour. Cannot say enough great things about the entire experience! Many praises and accolades for our guide Tom and the company in general. From start to finish we were well taken care of. Tom did a stellar job driving, narrating and bringing us safely to every destination. Tom gave us many laughs, history, local lore and insight to life in Ireland. We were well fed and attended to all along our way. Martina our reservationist and company contact was always attentive to our needs and provided us promptly with all info requested. The tour was an incredible value considering we could not have done all we did on our own. Thank you...My Ireland Tours for a stellar experience and I highly recommend their tours!

TONY was Fantastic........ My wife and I completed the Deluxe Castle tour in September of 18. What made this 5-stars was the dedication, professionalism and knowledge of our tour director/driver Tony. The man is full of stories(some true, about the country and areas we visited. He guided us well, we saw much and enjoyed our time in Ireland. I felt we got a great sense of the country we visited. I liked the idea that we stayed two nights in all of our 'Castles'. Plus we had all breakfasts and dinners provided making for an easier vacation. All we needed to do was get on the bus to see the next area of Ireland. We left the driving to Tony. I highly recommend this company and if one is fortunate enough to have Tony, you are indeed in for a fine 'Irish' experience.

My sister and I just returned 2 days ago from Ireland after joining your Deluxe Castles Tour, and adding a couple days at the end to see more of Dublin. It was the first time in Ireland for each of us. We were very much impressed with all the aspects of the Castles Tour. The accommodations, food, and daily excursions were very nice, the staff were always helpful, and the service by everyone was incredible. I have to report that your country is very beautiful! Especially for me remembering the beauty of the Ring of Kerry drive, and our time at Connemara, the views out over Ballynahinch Castle grounds, and all of the mountains.

My Ireland Tour provided my family with the most memorable trip. We were eleven people ranging in age from 20 to 66. We booked a 7 day private tour. I provided the towns we wanted to visit and Eric O'Gorman put togther an amazing itinerary with accomodations at exceptional hotels. Our transporation was a 15 passenger modern and comfortable mini-coach with wifi and plenty of usb charging ports. Our driver Mike D'Arcy was extremely knowledegable and his recommendations for restaurants, traditional music, pubs and golf only contributed further to our extrordinary experience. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time without any complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend My Irish Tour and will definitely be using them in the future. If you can push your budget a private tour is an outstanding experience. Either way you will not be disappointed and will be in good hands with My Irish Tour, who will help you create memories that will last a lifetime!

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. The heart of the tour was our driver-guide Tony. Our group consisted of 25 travelers from age 13 to over 80. We came from 5 different countries and many different states within the U.S. I highly recommend this tour, especially if this is your first trip to Ireland. Tony made sure we got to see all the memorable, historic and spiritual sites in a timely manner. He watched over all of us and he shared a lot of stories. We were free to mingle with our tour mates at all times. On returning to NY, my husband and I ,who celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with this tour, concluded that it would be hard to top this experience - arranged with My Ireland Tours.

My wife and I have just returned from our Iconic Tour of Ireland and we could not have had a more enjoyable and pleasurable travel experience. The concept of this tour with a small group size and just two hotels with 'spokes' each day is absolutely brilliant! Every aspect of this trip was simply magnificent! Arranging the tour was simple and straightforward and the My Ireland Tour staff communicated all of our arrangements through the whole process.

What an amazing experience! We did the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and had a wonderful time. Our driver-guide Tony was superb. He took care of us, told great stories, made us laugh, and provided just an all-around good time. The itinerary was well paced and Tony even provided some bonus stops along the way, especially to help break up some of the longer travel days. This tour was the perfect way to see a lot of the Irish countryside as well as visit the sites in the main cities. We greatly appreciated the smaller bus, which allowed us to get to know everyone who traveled with us. We can't wait to visit the Island again!

We chose My Ireland Tours to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in Ireland and couldn't be happier with our choice. We enjoyed the small groups and comfortable coach. Our driver/guide, Mark, was attentive and extremely knowledgable about Irish history and events. Our tour went from listening to history, visiting sites, laughing at humorous stories to the singing of Irish songs.We also appreciated that all of our accommodations, tours and meals were included but we did get a little tired of the 'typical Irish breakfast'. We would highly recommend My Ireland Tours for anyone wanting to tour Ireland.

What a great tour. We were fortunate enough to meet our daughter and son-in-law for the Northern Ireland tour. The weather was great, the food was good, and the scenery was fantastic. Our driver guide was David Breen. His knowledge and driving skills were brilliant. He was patient, informative, and funny. Not mentioned on the website is an included train ride along the coast from Coleraine to Derry-beautiful. We met some very nice people on our tour, as well as in the places we visited.

Our family excursion to Ireland was an extremely enjoyable experience. Our mini-bus was luxurious and highly comfortable. The bus was cleaned and the windows washed daily to optimize our sightseeing. Arrangements had been made for child car seats to accommodate our two 3-year old twin grandsons. The car seats worked really well. Positioned in the rear of the bus and perched on raised seats the boys had grand views of the countryside enabling them to provide ongoing commentary about cows, sheep and “lots of green squares” in the landscape.

I booked a private tour for 12 family members with My Ireland Tour in May 2018. They were professional, easy to deal with, and delivered everything I asked for. Their selection of hotels for our group was spot on, and their knowledge of Ireland was invaluable in developing ,and then changing, the itinerary.

Just returned to the states after our 4 person tour of Ireland. I asked Mr O'Gorman to set up my 8 day tour and treat me like his son in law who had never visited the nation. He set up a tour for my wife and another couple that would befit his son. It was spectacular... wonderful unforgettable I recommend his company, Mr O'Gorman, the guide Pat Breen or anything or anyone Mr O'Gorman uses. Put yourself in his hands. Let My Ireland Tours show you the nation. You will never forget or regret you did Marty Felezzola and wife Donna Berkeley Heeights NJ USA

Our trip was AMAZING from start to finish! Our tour guide, David Breen, was second to none. He was an excellent driver & a walking/talking encyclopedia of facts about Ireland. There isn't one thing I would change about this trip - the Ancient Ireland Mini Group Tour was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Thank you!

I cannot say enough great things about this tour, and our driver George! I went on the Castles and Backroads Tour with a close friend and we loved it. George was so nice and informative. Along with everyone else we met, he was so welcoming! If I ever take another trip to Ireland in the future, I will definitely be using this tour service again! Loved it!!!

My Mom and I had an amazing trip on the castle tour end of May 2018. We really lucked out on the weather-I wore my raincoat for a total of 4 hours, and was glad my Mom had sunscreen! We never felt rushed and had time to do a bit of relaxing and also exploring on the grounds at each place

Our small group of seven had a wonderful time on our custom 7-day tour of Ireland. Kristel, our My Ireland Tour rep, did a fabulous job helping us put together an 'off-the-beaten-path' itinerary which was just right for our family. Our driver, Mike Darcy, was full of knowledge and made the tour educational and fun!

The small group also made the tour a much more pleasurable experience as you got to spread out on the coach and get to know your fellow travellers in a more relaxed environment. The tour visits and inclusions were awesome and in my opinion the tour as a whole represented fantastic value for money.

This Deluxe Castle Tour was phenomenal. The staff and tour guide were beyond excellent and my wife and I enjoyed the trip very much.

I would highly recommend the 10-Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Every aspect, from planning, payment & connecting with group went smoothly. Our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was professional in every way & great company, looking after all our needs & keeping us entertained with his knowledge of his home country & family stories.

FANTASTIC is all I can say about My Ireland Tours. My daughter and I went on the Castle tour with 23 other great folks. Not only was the scenery spectacular but the history offered by our guide/driver was so informative.

We just returned from our castle tour, and it was far beyond our expectations. Our guide, George Connelly, was so knowledgeable and professional. He took such good care of all 25 of us on the tour at all times. We had gourmet meals each night ,which we didn’t expect), and the accommodations were always exceptional.

We recently took a transatlantic cruise from Miami to Ireland and it worked out perfect that the My Ireland Tour 10 day Iconic Tour started the day we docked in Dublin. MIT agreed to pick us up from the cruise port and at the end of the tour dropped us off at the train station so that we could continue on our journey through Ireland. The hotels and food were great ,love that Irish soda bread and scones). The scenery was spectacular and we enjoyed the company and conversation of those who toured with us.

When trying to plan for my mother’s 70th birthday, my sister thought it would be a great idea to fulfill my moms dream of seeing Ireland and visiting her grandfathers former town of Kiltimagh. After doing research, we settled on a private tour through My Ireland Tour. I am pleased to say that we were very satisfied with our decision. Our tour guide, Nigel, was nothing short of spectacular. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely accommodating. To top things off, Nigel did research and found a small cemetery with graves of my mother’s ancestors. He went above and beyond during the entire trip. I cannot say enough great things about this company and Nigel. You provided my family with a wonderful trip and memories that will last a lifetime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Iconic Tour of Ireland. We saw some beautiful scenery and visited many interesting places. Our guide/driver, Tom, was very friendly, informative and clearly loved his country. The hotels and food were excellent.We were very lucky in that we were a very small group ,11 of us, and everyone got on very well together. I can highly recommend this company for anyone wishing to visit Ireland.

Kristel helped us plan a tour of Ireland for four women. She was so helpful and worked with us through several changes. Our driver Patrick was informative, helpful and flexible. Great way to see the country. While this is certainly a more costly way to travel, we all felt it was well worth it.

We can't say enough great things about our Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10 day tour. Our guide/driver, Nigel O'Connor, was just outstanding. We had a great, small group on our March journey, and Nigel was the perfect host. He has a vast knowledge of the history of this beautiful island and was eager to share it with us. We left Ireland knowing so much about these wonderful Irish people and the beautiful place they live. We urge anyone looking for a truly great experience in Ireland to book the journey with My Ireland Tour. You won't be sad!

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!

February 2018 • Deluxe Castles Tour
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.

January 2018 • Historic Irish Castle Tour
We had an awesome time on our trip to Ireland with My Ireland Tour. We wanted to travel in early October 2017, and started planning this experience about a year before. We wanted to structure a private tour for our family of 9 ,including two granddaughters, and right from the start we had a wonderful reception from Kristal. We had a vague idea of what we wanted to see on our first visit to Ireland and chose a modified itinerary for the Castles and Backroads Tour that My Ireland Tours provided but not at the time we wanted to travel. We wanted to substitute a couple of child friendly activities and Kristal came up with two great ones. As you can imagine over the course of a year many things can change and each time we reached out to Kristal she replied quickly and with a “can do” attitude. We took a leap of faith with a company we had never used before and entrusted our family happiness to them. They did not disappoint us. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours for anybody wanting to have a wonderful experience.

My family and I were on the Essential Ireland Tour at the end of August. This trip was incredible! I have already recommended My Ireland Tours to several friends. We found My Ireland Tours via a Google search. I reached out with some questions and knew we were in good hands when Kristel quickly addressed my concerns. Once in Ireland, our tour guide/driver, Brian, went above and beyond. His knowledge and enthusiasm cannot be beat! Our small group of 12 gave us incredible opportunities that we never would have enjoyed with one of the larger tour organizations. So much was packed into this great little tour, but my family and I never felt rushed or herded. My only complaint is that your company doesnt offer tours throughout Europe. After this wonderful experience, I cant imagine touring with anyone else!

October 2017 • Deluxe Castles Tour
Job well done! to my husband who set up the trip and to My Ireland Tour for being a great host to the Emerald Island. We had a fantastic time and met some wonderful people. Plus, our tour guide/bus driver Edna Sheehan was just amazing. We did the Deluxe Irish Castle Tour and went around a good portion of the island and saw a lot of history. Our accommodations at each location had very nice rooms, excellent food and wonderful staff members. We took our time in the mornings to take leisure walks to explore the grounds and the many wonderful sites to see. During the day we did our exploring with Edna to all Ireland's amazing sites and history. At night we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with new friends. Just a time to remember for a lifetime. Can't say enough wonderful things about Ireland, My Ireland Tour and Enda Sheehan!

I've been back a week from the 10 day Iconic tour... aaannnddddd I want to be back in Ireland. This was my first solo travel adventure as well as my first overseas trip. From the meet and greet on the first night til the very end... I felt very welcome and not at all isolated. It was a great group of people. The Bus was very comfortable with ample space and well equipped with WiFi and the world's best tour guide/chauffeur, George Graham. I wouldn't change a thing about the tour... the hotels were all amazing too!! Slainte.

We have just completed the 15 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland for our 40th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed in anything. The accomodation was first class and we had 2 drivers Tom and Colm that both knew their stuff. Tom went above and beyond what is expected from a tour guide / driver and his pride in his country showed through. The meals along the way were sensational so much so you just knew you shouldn't eat it all, but it was so good. Crystal was amazing to deal with in the organising side of the tour and her friendliness and professional is an asset to the business. Thanks for a great tour guys, we just loved it.

My sister and I have talked about going to Ireland for several years and finally decided in 2017 to just do it. We looked into several tour companies and I have to say, choosing My Ireland Tour was one of our best decisions. We had an amazing time and loved everything about the trip, from seeing the best that Ireland had to offer to enjoying the time on the bus with our tour guide, George Graham. He was the best and made our time so enjoyable and educational. We did the 10 day Iconic Tours of Ireland tour and I already can't wait to go back. I would recommend this tour group without any hesitation. Kristel was so helpful, it was effortless to get there and find our guide, and we made a lot of new friends along the way. Slainte!

October 2017 • Iconic Scenes
I decided to travel solo to Ireland and came across My Ireland Tours. I have to say by far, this was one of the best trips I have ever traveled. My Ireland Tours was so organized and our Tour Guide George was the best. George was fun to travel with, he has such a great sense of humor and he taught our tour group so much about the history of Ireland. In addition, this was the first group tour I have traveled with and the first time I have ever traveled solo. Our tour group was the best, everyone meshed well together and even though I was traveling alone, everyone on the tour and George made me feel welcomed. I definitely recommend My Ireland Tours if you are deciding to travel to Ireland. Also, I recommend doing the Iconic Scenes of Ireland so you can see all of the beautiful places. The hotel accommodations were also wonderful. I definitely will return to Ireland some day again and would use My Ireland Tours.

Karen and I had a wonderful trip with My Ireland Tours. We made new acquaintances, gained respect for Ireland's history, enjoyed the magnificent views and in general just had a wonderful time. We must admit that George Graham, our tour guide, was the highlite of the tour. His sense of timing and humor, his knowledge of the land and its history made the tour. We are confident that all the tour guides are high quality, but if you're lucky enough to get George, you're in for a treat and an exhilarating tour!

Kristel with My Ireland Tour did an outstanding job helping us choose places to stay and sights to see in Ireland. She took care of everything. When hurricane Irma hit us in Orlando the day we were suppose to fly out, she was able to rearrange our itinerary. We had a wonderful tour guide, Patrick, who was friendly, informative and fun. We spent a week in Ireland starting at the Cliffs of Moher and ending with Trinity College in Dublin. We saw numerous castles and stayed in really great accommodations. If you want a truly great tour in Ireland, choose My Ireland Tour.

This was a trip of a lifetime. Every Castle we stayed in was beautiful and charming. Our driver, Enda, was the best! He was engaging and informative with a good sense of humor. Being on a bus tour with little bitty roads and bridges, Enda knows how to drive that bus! The tour was well planned and we got to see a lot of Ireland. We definitely would recommend this trip.

October 2017 • My Ireland Tour Package
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Ireland. Brian, our drive, was right there waiting for us at the airport and off we all went to our first hotel in Malahide. All hotels were lovely. This being Europe, remember to bring a wash cloth! The tour covered all the highlights and we were lucky enough to have wonderful weather. The only drawback was that poor Brian had to do double duty as the tour guide. I expected a tour guide to be on the bus and narrate our adventure.

My Ireland Tour to the backroads of Southern Ireland was a wonderful Irish experience Harry, our guide, was charming helpful, animated, full of history and quite personable. This was first trip to Ireland for my daughter and I, we saw so much beautiful countryside, stayed in lovely accommodations with good food, perfect organization and friendly atmospheres. Thanks for such a charming, well organized, experience. As a side note, our last day connecting flight required that we leave for the airport at 4:00AM, this request was met cheerfully and we were picked up in a timely manner even though all the other quests were leaving at a more reasonable hour, our request was well handled.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! My son and I went on the Deluxe Castle Tour and everything far exceeded our hopes and expectations , our driver / guide, Brian O'Rourke was fantastic , he provided very interesting information along the way and worked very hard to make our trip incredible . All of the lodging was first class and the meals were outstanding , we visited some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen , the Hill of Tara , Cliffs of Moher and the rest of the Ring of Kerry , simply breathtaking pictures do not even begin to do it justice. The historic sites : the walled city of Derry , Kylemore Abbey , the Rock of Cashel , Trinity College , Christchurch Cathedral and the Blarney Castle were outstanding , so much history . Our schedule had enough flexible time for individuals in our group to do their own sight seeing , I enjoyed our time in the Guinness Storehouse . I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone interested in visiting Ireland , I am anxiously waiting to return with the rest of my family so that they can have the same experience . I am looking forward to traveling with My Ireland Tours again , in the near future . Thank you Kristel and My Ireland Tours for giving my son and I memories that will last a lifetime :-,

My daughter age 29 called me one day and said lets do a tour of Ireland. We had never done a bus tour and started researching our options. We came across My Ireland Tours and after much research we decided this tour was the one. Our 10 day trip toured southern Ireland and loved I loved the fact that we had several cities that we spent 2 nights in. Our tour guide Tom Lavin was absolutely the PERFECT tour guide. We could not have asked for anything more! He is kind, compassionate, funny and wanted the 26 passengers on this tour to have an enjoyable experience! And we did!!! We never touched our bags. Everything was done for us. Tom is a true gentleman! Our accommodations were exceptional, the tours were what we expected and the whole experience was better than we anticipated. We met wonderful people from all over the world. My concern was that there would be passengers who were constantly late, but this was not the case. Tom had every minute orchestrated and there was not 1 hitch on our entire trip! If you are planning a trip to Ireland I highly recommend using My Ireland Tours! They are a class act. My daughter and I have memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Tom, Crystal and all those who helped to organize this wonderful trip!

September 2017 • Deluxe Castles Tour
My mother and I had a fantastic time on the Deluxe Castle Tour with My Ireland Tours. The company is based locally in Ireland; the tour group was just 20 people; the bus was spacious and comfortable; and most importantly, our guide ,Brian, was fantastic! Staying at the castles was fun and one of our favorites moments of the trip was pulling up to Lough Eske Castle where the staff members greeted us out front lined up like the scenes Downton Abbey! The tour stops were all interesting and worthwhile, but two of the best stops were unplanned places Brian added once he got to know the group ,Triona Tweed shop in Donegal and Celtic Crystal near Galway., Our tour group had a range of people: married couples and single travelers; a teenager and some senior citizens; Americans and Brits, etc. We were a mother/adult daughter duo and it was a great fit for us. Go to Ireland! You'll love it!

September 2017 • Historic Irish Castle Tour
Our family took a 'Castles and Backroads' tour in August 2017, and it was a great experience for our first Ireland visit. Prior to our booking, the My Ireland Tour staff ,Kristel and Eric, were very helpful in going over all possible options and discussing our food allergy requirements. When we decided on the specific tour, they kept us informed by email about all the details and helped us with suggestions about day tours we can take before and after the main one. Our driver-guide, Brian, was really excellent in telling us stories about the places we visited ,Cliffs of Moher, Kylemore Abbey, Galway, Kilkenny Castle, and others). The hotels ,Kinnitty Castle and Abbey Glen Castle, were very romantic and beautiful, and the food was excellent. We certainly recommend this tour to anyone new to Ireland and looking to see its historic countryside.

My daughter and I chose the Essential Tour of Ireland ,Aug. 2017). This was by far the best decision we could have made. The trip/tour was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Enda was phenomenal and made this tour a great experience!!!!!. The days are packed but you do get time at night ,early evening, to explore on your own. Strongly suggest the Arlington hotel Celtic dinner show, IrelandEpic Emmigration Museum, Bleecker St. Café, The Celt Lounge, the Church....... just walking around was a great way to take in this great city. I was worried about the make up of people that could be on the tour but turns out we met some pretty AMAZING people. Although the tour holds 35 people, we ended up with 20 which was perfect. I have and will continue to recommend this tour and company to others. You will not be disappointed in any way!!! Already looking to book a return trip.......

We just returned from our 10 day tour of Iconic Ireland and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the time we were picked up at the airport, we did not have to worry about anything but making the most of our time in Ireland and having fun doing it! Tom Lavin was the very best driver/guide that we could have hoped for. He was professional in addition to be incredibly knowledgeable about his beloved Ireland and we totally enjoyed his stories as well as the history he provided, Thank you so much Tom, well done!!! The hotels were beautiful and the food was incredible. I have traveled to the UK with a larger tour company and I will attest that My Ireland Tours was hands down the best tour ever. Again, thank you for great service and a most memorable experience! Julia and John Orshal

August 2017 • Deluxe Castles Tour
Fantastic experience! My husband and I went on the 10-Day Deluxe Castle tour in mid-July and it was perfect. Our main concern was what the group dynamic would be - a bunch of strangers together on a bus for 9 days?? It ended up being great! Our entire group was 12 people; many of them told us of previous tours they had gone on with other popular companies where they were part of 50+ people, so there were two buses full of tourists getting on and off the bus at every site; sounds like mayhem and pretty impersonal. All of us were from the US, of all walks of life, with all different interests and experiences, but we were all eager to explore and see everything we could while in Ireland. We all had two seats to ourselves on the bus, so we could spread out as we pleased. It also allowed us to eat most breakfasts and dinners together which was a great bonding time. Don't even get me started on our bus driver, the wonderful Brian. He was so kind and eager to let us do as much as we could.

August 2017 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
This is a review for the Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10-day Tour in May 2017. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a tour or go solo, but as I was traveling alone in a country I wasn't familiar with ,and I wasn't ready to try driving on the other side of the road just yet), I opted for a tour. I am so glad I decided to go with My Ireland Tours. The whole process was smooth as can be. Kristel was great at answering all of my questions ,including what would be best to pack as I was journeying from the Sunshine State!). Our driver, Brian O'Rourke, was amazing. He was friendly and tried to accommodate what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to spend in certain areas. He gave us some backstory on places we passed, and he took us to a few that weren't on the itinerary! I was so pleased to have taken this trip. The people I met were great, the country was gorgeous, the accommodations were wonderful, and the whole experience was one I won't forget anytime soon. In fact, before we left, several of us were already talking about a RETURN trip. I have recommended My Ireland Tours to everyone - friends, colleagues, even the nurse when I went for my physical! Thank you so much to Kristel, Brian, and everyone who was involved in making such an unforgettable trip wonderful.

July 2017 • My Ireland Tour Package
I have worked with Eric several times over the years and each time has been an exciting and unique experience. I have run both coach trips and smaller group trips via luxury van. One of the major things MyIreland does best is the value of the accommodations. All of the places included in the tours are centrally located. Watch the cookie cutter tours that appear to be less expensive. That's usually because they put people in hotels that are far from the city centers or walking distance to anything. The drivers have always been outstanding and willing to go off course and make suggestions. Communication with the office is outstanding from the moment you ask for information to completion of the tour and afterwards. I am always looking forward to my next trip with this company. There will be many many more! Brian O'C Boston, MA

Tony and I had the 'best time' on our 10 day, My Ireland tour of the south. We had a comfortable roomy coach with only 22 passengers which was wonderful, always able to have a good space for viewing the beautiful green countryside. On arrival in Dublin we were met at the airport by Tom Levin our driver/guide who was a professional, knowledgeable, very likeable man who went beyond expectations to ensure all his group were well taken care of. He was also an excellent driver and we were in very safe hands. Accommodation and meals were of a high standard and the two night stays were appreciated. We visited many iconic sites and the constant beauty of Ireland was like a story book. The itinerary put together by My Ireland was A1. Thank you to Kristel and all concerned.

I had been looking forward to visiting Ireland for years. My Ireland Tour surpassed my expectations. We were able to experience so much of this beautiful island. Even locals we met in Dublin said they hadn't been to some of the places we were able to visit on our trip. I want to especially thank our tour guide Tom Lavin. He is an excellent guide and listening to his stories was a highlight, thanks again!

My husband and I took the 6 Day Iconic Tour and had a wonderful time. The tour itself covered everything we wanted to see and for us, it was the perfect length. My Ireland Tours was all-out professional from the start. Our driver was waiting for us at the airport, the bus was comfortable, extra bonus that all the other people on our tour were friendly and fun. And a huge shout out to our driver, Enda who was not only knowledgeable but extremely personable.

July 2017 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our tour of Ireland from Dublin down to the southwest coast, up to Galway and back to Dublin from June 20-29, 2017, was a pure delight. From the time Ted, our driver/guide picked us up at Dublin Airport to the time we ended in Dublin, we saw a beautiful country which surprised us with its diverse terrain. We were pleased to extremely pleased with our guest houses and hotels, enjoyed a variety of sites to visit and had some special experiences, like a night in a pub listening to music performed by old friends of our driver that he'd just met on the street by chance. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour and will definitely use them again when we return to Ireland.

My mother and I did the Iconic Scenes of Ireland 10 day tour, starting in Dublin and stopping in Galway, Killarney, Cork and a number of other places. Our driver/guide Brian was fantastic. He was incredibly informative and knowledgeable, and happy to socialise with the tour group at meals. This created a wonderful atmosphere and all 26 in the group got on very well. It was a pleasure to travel with them. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone as a great introduction to Ireland!

The 'BEST' that we could hoped for! My wife and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary during the Deluxe Castle Tour. The tours, accommodations, the food, and our tour guide Tom were outstanding! Every day was a new treat with the different tours and accommodations. Only having 26 people on the tour was perfect size, plenty of room to spread out on the bus. We made friends for life and memories we will cherish forever.

We had an amazing tour of Ireland on the 10-Day Iconic Scenes itinerary. Kristel, in the office, was so helpful with questions and guidance. With a smaller bus holding only 40 people and only 26 people on the tour, this allowed the group to spread out get to know each other. From the time he picked us up at the Dublin airport to the time he dropped us off to go home, our driver/guide, Tom Lavin, handled every detail with ease and professionalism.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Deluxe Castle Tour! Every detail was met. Kristel, in the office did a great job in planning and attending to the details of our trip and accommodations. Every place we stayed was beautiful. The places we visited on the tour were interesting and fun. Tony our tour guide is simply the best! He was very informative and has a very nice singing voice! What a treat it was to learn from and travel with him. If you have a chance to travel with Tony, take it! Since this was our 40th anniversary celebration, extra special touches were added. This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend using My Ireland Tour when traveling to Ireland. It really is the best way to go. You will be pleased.

We just returned from the 15 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland - North and South tour. Can't say enough wonderful things about Tom Lavin, our driver/guide. He went above and beyond to make sure all 22 of his passengers had the most memorable experience ever. He gave us an historical background of Ireland and all the places we visited with his unique style and sense of humor. Unfortunately, my husband was unwell during much of our tour but Tom made sure that he knew where he could wait for the group with a nice cup of tea if he didn't feel up to the walking. I would highly recommend Tom and My Ireland Tour to anyone interested in having an entertaining and informative tour of Ireland.

We had an absolutely fabulous trip on the 10 Day Iconic Tour. We were a little nervous due to an age gap within our group ,us being the youngest at 32 years old!, but that quickly went away once we met everyone. The entire group had such a zest for life and infinite curiosity for the country, and by the end of it we all felt like family. Our driver, Brian, truly made our trip special. He was SO knowledgeable and made all of our trips go by quickly with the amount of information he knew about the country and also his humor and kindness went above and beyond. We were grateful that each hotel stay was 2 days so we didn't feel overwhelmed and everything was completely seamless. It was SO nice to have everything planned except for some free time in the afternoon and our hotels were within walking distance of all the town centers so we felt completely safe enjoying the nights out after dinner. We left feeling like we have seen a lot, but knowing there is so much more to see. We would definitely like to return and when we do, we'll be booking a tour through this company ,and requesting Brian if possible)!!

We enjoyed our 'Iconic scenes of Ireland' very much. The seamless experience beginning with making our reservations, airport pickup, drop off with the company was extremely smooth and pleasant. Selection of itinerary, Tour bus, hotels was 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 this company. Thanks Myirelandtour for making our Ireland trip memorable.

If you are going to Ireland, don't bother to look at other tours. Book this one! We booked this tour to celebrate our 50th anniversary on April 28 and we can't say enough about it. The hotels are first class, the meal are excellent, and the itinerary is very comprehensive. We had plenty of time to see all the locations we visited, never feeling rushed from place to place. Since they limited the number of people on each tour, the bus was comfortable for everyone, with plenty of room to relax in-between stops. If you are lucky enough to have Tony as your guide/driver, than you surely have the luck of the Irish. Thank you making our anniversary extra special. Can't wait to return.

I will definitely use My Ireland Tour the next time we visit Ireland. Our party of 8 had a tremendous time. Our driver, David, was everything we asked for and more - he was full of insights, attentive to our needs, was flexible with our daily schedule, and was a pure delight. The sprinter van was first-class, comfortable, and connecting to Wi-Fi was an added bonus.

July 2017 • My Ireland Tour Package
My husband and I had never been to Ireland, so we asked Kristel from My Ireland Tours to arrange our itinerary. Our trip could not have been better. Our driver, Kevin O'Sullivan, was the best - he was punctual, professional, flexible, and had a great sense of humor. In addition, Kevin enriched our journey along the way with his knowledge of the history and culture of Ireland. All of our lodging and tours were arranged by Kristol in advance, so my husband and I did not have to do anything but show-up, and everything ran smoothly without a hitch. We will never forget our trip to Ireland - the beauty of the country, and the kindness of the Irish people are amazing!

May 2017 • Ancient Ireland Tour
My husband and I took the small group tour of Ancient Ireland. There were 6 people total in our group. It was the best decision we made regarding our trip. Our guide, David Breen, was FABULOUS! He shared a wealth of knowledge about each of the areas we visited. He answered all of our questions and was very patient with my husband and me. My husband broke his foot 2 weeks before our trip, so we moved much slower than the other 4 passengers because he had to use crutches and sometimes a cane when walking. The sites that we visited were wonderful. The Brooks Hotel was extremely friendly. Connor, the Concierge, at the Hotel provided a lot of recommendations for dinner, shopping, and other attractions in Dublin. The Ballynahinch Castle was gorgeous. We definitely felt special while staying there. The grounds were beautiful and our room was very comfortable. The food was simply amazing. The Lake Hotel was also beautiful. David arranged for us to go see Celtic Steps while in Killarney. It was fabulous. One of my favorite things to do on the whole trip. There were LOTS of opportunities to shop and find that special 'trinket' to take back home. The coach we traveled in was also very comfortable. It even had WiFi so we could check emails, send texts, or anything else online. There were also charging stations for our devices at each seat. The small group tour was definitely the way to see Ireland instead of the big tour buses. We brought home many ,430, photographs of the beautiful and unique areas we visited. We also brought home a wealth of information that David shared with us through out our trip. If we visit Ireland again, the small group tour with My Ireland Tours is definitely how we will go.

Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy the Ride! Our 'MIT' started in Dublin ,9/20-29, and ended in Belfast and what an adventure we had. The pace was extremely adequate for our age ,50+, group. Do the Irish loop when you are able as some of the touristy attractions require moderate walking/climbing at times. There were no headaches on deciding where we were going, parking hassles or problems to be had. Our timeframe was well planned by MIT and accommodated our schedules... GLASHA House is an inn not to be missed. Of course the highlight of our trip was our phenomenal driver Enda who MADE this trip. He was very professional, efficient and so easy to get along with. He is terribly funny and enjoys his job tremendously. He squeezed in extras that we hadn't allotted time for and put smiles on our faces. KUDOS Enda-we miss you ,your MF Canadian friends)This stress-free way to enjoy unfamiliar territory is a must. It allowed for the real 'taste' of Ireland to be had. Pay the few extra Euros and enjoy the Ride. It is well worth it and you'll be happy you did!

Love, love, love! I am so happy that my husband Justin and I found this tour company. We just got back from the Ancient Ireland tour and all I can say is that it was the very best decision we could have made... We were a bit nervous doing a tour but this 8-person tour was perfect and we are already thinking about returning with family and taking up all 8 seats next time :). We also lucked out with an AMAZING driver, Tom Lavin, and he really made this trip special. He loves Ireland and is so knowledgeable... kind, informative and just a great person.

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.

If I could give more than 5-stars, I would! My family had an absolutely incredible experience doing a week-long private tour with My Ireland Tour from the wonderful guidance that we received from Eric and team to develop our perfect itinerary to our amazing driver-guide Tony who become part of our family during the week that we spent with him. The hotels were beautiful and in great locations... I am so glad that we selected My Ireland Tour for our vacation and I would give them my highest recommendation!

November 2016 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
We just returned from 10 wonderful days in southern Ireland. Our driver Brian was a gem. The planned sites as well as a few unplanned side trips were great. Even the weather cooperated with 10 days of dry warmth. We started in Dublin, went to the far west, south to Killarney, thru Cork and back for a few days in Dublin. Could have had a little more free time to visit some more pubs but overall I think everyone on our small, modern bus ,only 22 people, enjoyed themselves.
Kris Day
November 2016 • Deluxe Castles Tour
We went on the luxury castle tour and got a very good, broad sense of Ireland. The tour went into Northern Ireland and then south in a general loop of the island back into Dublin. At some stops we had local guides who were fantastic. More of that could be good, but we feel like we got what we paid for. Some hotels were definitely superior to others. The dinners at the great hotels were great but the dinners at the attractive but mediocre hotels were clearly on a 'package' level and midrange quality which was our biggest disappointment. It would suit me if they moved dinners to 7PM instead of 7:00 and 8:00.

October 2016 • My Ireland Tour Package
Fantastic trip!! I have travelled extensively ,averaging 3 months a year, and this was one of the best tours ever. The guide made the difference. Tony 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.

We took the Iconic Tour in October. I can't speak more highly of our experience. Our guide, Tony, was exceptional. He was well informed, patient, humorous. The hotels were first class and the food was excellent. The hours of the day were well planned. We never felt bored or rushed. Our baggage was taken to and from the room in a seamless manner, leaving us time to relax in the morning and evenings. The places visited were always interesting, with no waiting. Local guides hired to lead our group were very knowledgable and enthusiastic. We will return for another tour.

The iconic scenes of Ireland tour was fantastic! Eric and Kristel were quick to answer any questions I had leading up to the trip and Tom, our driver-guide, was friendly, professional, and conscientious of what everyone was looking for in their vacation. As a solo female traveller, I never once felt unsafe or left behind. The tour really gave me a more detailed sense of Irish history, and how its brought them to be the country they are today. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone looking to visit this beautiful country!

We'll be sure to use your company again in the future!

I initially fell in love with the website! My 'love affair' continued when dealing with Eric and the girls in the office. Their friendly accommodating attitude really won me over. The culmination of this 'love affair' was of course the tour itself. From the very comfortable bus, the extremely friendly driver Tony with his very extensive knowledge of Irish history and his easy going personality, not to mention his sense of humour!!! Loved every minute of it. I will be back! I still need to see Northern Ireland!

We were a very diverse group of people who came together for 10 days and had a fabulous time together. I did a lot of research on the net looking for the 'perfect' tour and although there is no such thing-this one was great. The small number of people, the places we saw, the meals and sites that were included in the overall price, our incredibly patient, knowledgeable guide/bus driver-it was all I'd hoped it would be. And Tony, you were the best, JUST SAYING! Thanks for the memories to all of you.

The Scenic Tour was a wonderful adventure. The Tour Company is great and you get what you pay for…no hidden costs and fantastic value for money. Our driver/tour guide was exceptional…knew the 'lie of the land' well, was pleasant and had a great sense of humour. Would recommend My Ireland Tours as a reputable, knowledgeable and sincere Company. Lovely people to have dealt with at every step of the experience.

Our driver Tony really made the trip - he was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I am recommending this trip to all my friends.
Diana Ireland
2016 • Custom / Private Tour
I found My Ireland Tour on a fluke as I was trying to compare tour prices with other tour companies. We received a better deal going with a private tour compared to buses filled with 30+ strangers. Make you sure you do your homework and check with My Ireland Tour so you have all of the best options! You will not regret it! We sure didn't! We had a family of 4 and the private van tour was the BEST decision. I don't think we will travel to Ireland again any other way. I would like to extend my greatest thanks to Kristel for putting together an amazing trip for us at My Ireland Tour. I picked out a few options that we could do while in Galway City and Kristel recommended a few other options which included Trad on the Prom and that was the BEST decision! She was responsive and when there were any questions, she was very quick to advise. The staff are professional and courteous and you will not be disappointed! The B&B, hotels, and castle that was picked out for our stays could not be beat! Great selection and location and we were really able to enjoy what each location had to share! Our driver, Pat Breen, was an amazing history teacher, comedian and guide. He has now become apart of our family and our next trip will most definitely be with Pat again - hands down. Your driver will make your trip even greater and we appreciate what Pat did for us. He offered amazing suggestions based on our schedule and each day was a new adventure. You'll be in GREAT hands while touring Ireland if you go with this travel agency. We love Ireland, the people, and the culture and can't wait to go back to visit! Thank you My Ireland Tour for making our visit such a memorable and easy experience!!

Thank you for a superb tour of Ireland. We will highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of a trip to your lovely and friendly Ireland. The hotels and meals were great. We really appreciated that all dinners were included in the cost and we enjoyed the fact that we had a small number of companions on the tour( by day 2 there were no strangers, and having a small ,new, bus was a bonus especially when seeing a 52 passenger bus unloading alongside of us. we were off the bus and in the attraction by the time they unloaded. Our driver/guide, Tony was very knowledgeable, accommodating , friendly, humorous and a good singer. My wife and I thank you all

My husband and I could not have asked for more from our trip to Ireland. The country is stunningly beautiful. The people were very friendly and we felt at home immediately. Our guide/driver, Tony, was absolutely wonderful. He helped to make our trip memorable as well. He told us so much about his country, not only the history, but also information about Ireland today...If you are planning a trip to Ireland and want to get the most out of the time you have, do not hesitate to book your tour through My Ireland Tour company!!

We could not have been more pleased with our trip to Ireland and owe much of that to My Ireland Tours. They helped make us feel so welcome to Ireland. We were able to see many major and out of the way sights in Ireland that really helped shape our love and appreciation of this beautiful country and its wonderful people. We loved that the very comfortable coach was smaller ,held 25 people, and we could get around to more areas than with a full-sized bus. The accommodations were above average and well located and the meals provided were excellent... Eight thumbs up from this family of four!

I did a lot of research for possible tour options in Ireland and am very pleased with the exceptional quality and value of service my family received with Discover Ireland Tours.

This was a dream vacation. It's hard to feel the excitement in a written review, but believe me, this review is written with passion. From the beginning, we felt like we found a good tour company. We didn't know anyone who had used My Ireland Tour but we took a gamble and we are so glad we got what we had hoped for. Kristel and Eric were so kind and reachable which was something we had issues with OTHER tour groups. We especially enjoyed the smaller group/bus and we became 'family' over the 10 days... Our tour guide/bus driver, Brian O'Rouke, brought such life and fun to our trip...

I wanted to leave a note about our customized tour arranged by Eric O'Gorman with My Ireland Tours. My sister and I spent many weeks working with Eric to develop a tour for our small group of 6 people. Eric was extremely accommodating, answering all of our questions and offering his expertise into everything Ireland. He was also more than happy to work with each individual's special arrangements.... I would highly recommend working with Eric O'Gorman and My Ireland Tours to customize your next trip to Ireland!

The hotels were beyond what I would have imagined and the food was to die for. I would go again in a heart beat, because it was so worth the price. Best Ive ever been on, trip of a lifetime.

12 July 2022 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
We've just returned from our 10 Day IconicScenes of Ireland Tour and it was fabulous ! Really the trip of a lifetime! The tour bus was clean, modern and comfortable with plenty of room to relax. Our driver/guide Brian was amazing! He was everything you'd want your guide to be. He was funny and kind ( always had a joke to tell!) he was always checking to make sure that we were having fun. Brian was so knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and he was wonderful at explaining various wars and histories so that we could all understand. He seemed to know so much about his country's past and explained it in an interesting way. I can't say enough nice things about Brian! The hotels we stayed in were lovely. Clean and comfortable and very attractive. Most did not have air conditioning, no trouble, we just asked for a fan. Bring your own hair conditioner though, it's not provided. Meals were very good, especially breakfast! Breakfast was a large buffet with many choices. Something for everyone! Dinner was a special menu for the group. Generally 3 choices for appetizer and 3 choices for dinner. yummy desserts too! We were so lucky to have a wonderful group of people on our tour! Most meals you eat together at tables with your tourmates. Several evenings we all went out to various pubs to hear live traditional Irish Music! As for Ireland, words dont do it justice! Its incredibly beautiful and the people couldnt be more friendly! We loved every stop we made! Kylemore Abbey was stunning, Blarney Castle was amazing, The Cliffs of Moher were awesome. Lots of walking and climbing, good shoes are a must! If it sounds like its too good to be true… it was all that! Not one stop wasnt great. Even things that we weren't necessarily looking forward too were wonderful! The sheepdog herding demonstration was an unexpected highlight! I don't think you could do this tour and not enjoy it! After we sadlysaid goodbye to our new friends, we extended our trip into Northern Ireland through My Ireland Tour. We had another wonderful driver/ guide named Simon who took the three of us on a three day tour to the north. This was a more casual trip as it was just us and we could stop wherever we liked. Simon talked to us about our interests, castles and ruins for my sister and I, Game of Thrones locations for my daughter. He was amazing at knowing all the little out of the way stops and amazing photo opportunities! Every day he brought us water bottles and diet coke for my sister who's addicted! Lol His BMW suv was spotless and comfy. He made us feel safe and entertained ! I highly reccomend Simon as a personal driver! On our way to Belfast, we took a ferry through the Mountains of Mourne, drove through lovely little towns and beautiful countrysides making stops along the way. We saw the Titanic Museum in Belfast, then spent the evening walking around Belfast having dinner and found some more live Irish music! Next we went to Giants Causeway and Carrick-a-Reed rope bridge! Stunning sights and so much fun! We spent the night in Derry/ Londonderry. The next day we took an amazing walking tour with a lovely man named Ronan, again set up through My Ireland Tour. Ronan was in a unique position to teach us the history of the walled city. Being a Buddhist, he has an ability to see both sides of the conflict or Troubles as they're known. It was amazing to walk along these walls that are hundreds of years old and hear of the many battles fought throughout the history of Ireland! Definitely a highlight for us. I don't think that I could say enough wonderful things about our tour! We had an amazing trip and met many wonderful people! We all agree that we would highly recommend My Ireland Tour to help you plan your dream trip to the most beautiful and friendliest country I've ever seen! You won't be sorry!

I took my first Solo trip to Ireland. Booked the 14 days Iconic and it was incredible. The accommodations where great, staff friendly. Our tour guide John was one of a kind. His passion and love for Ireland clearly showed. He kept us awake by singing songs and telling stories. He was attentive and made everyone feel special. Gave us great tips for our free time, which included Restaurants, shopping, farmers markets and pubs. Made lifelong friends. Would love to do a Scotland tour with them.

The trip to Ireland was for my mom's 65th birthday, and while she's always dreamed of visiting, we had no idea how unique our experience would be. We could not have asked for a better guide than Tony. Aside from the gorgeous landscapes, breathtaking hotels, and well-thought-out itinerary, Tony absolutely made the trip one we will cherish forever. His stories, songs, and genuine care for the country he came from will ensure we'll be back for years to come. We are very blessed to have had this adventure.

I just returned from the 10-day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour and can say without exception that it was the best guided tour I have ever taken. Tour guide/bus driver Tony McGoey was kind, considerate, and full of interesting facts about everything we saw. The hotels were very good, the food was excellent, and the group on the tour was very simpatico. For those people afraid that it will be just a bunch of old fogies, nothing could be further from the truth. I am 72 and only a few people were older than I. Half of the group of 25 was retired but there were several folks under 40 and everyone got along well together. I only regret that I did not find this tour company earlier. If you plan to go to Ireland on an organized tour, I highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

The long & short of it is that My Ireland Tour is top-notch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour guide, Mr. Tony McGoey is very knowledgeable and also threw in some humor as he drove us around, making our time on the bus enjoyable. The 10 Day Iconic Tour was amazing, from the itinerary to the food to the hotels, and everything in between. Honestly, I can’t think of anything bad to say. Thank you, My Ireland staff, for providing us w/ such an awesome experience!

Our trip to Ireland using My Ireland Tours was amazing! We had never been overseas before and weren't sure how to go about planning a trip. I came across their sight and upon seeing the itinerary for the 10 day tour and the reviews from previous customers it sold me on this trip. They were very good about keeping us up to date on COVID changes and were very responsive to our emails answering any questions we had. Not only did we have an amazing time in Ireland on this tour but our tour guide, Tony, was wonderful! He was full of Irish knowledge, past and present, he told the best jokes and he even sang us some Irish songs! He has the voice of an angel 😇 I will 100% recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to vacation in Ireland.

We traveled to Ireland in September and it was and will always be a trip to remember. My little family group of 4 were escorted to our family's native townland in Tyrone by our wonderful driver/guide, Maurice. Our accommodations were wonderful and located within walking distance of other local sites. It was certainly a busy and full week of seeing the usual sites a well as meeting locales who may or may not be relatives. I am hoping to make a return visit to continue my research for long lost family and to visit counties that were not in our itinerary this time around. A special thank you to Kristel for making all the arrangements to meet our needs.

Oct. 3 2019 was the tour date of Ancient Ireland-Dingle version. I cannot say enough about this tour. To start....our driver Ben O'sullivan was the best. His knowledge of Ireland impeccable as was his singing. Always enjoyed a song or two. He is personable and very accommodating. (Thank you Ben). The tour itself was beautiful. The accommodations breathtaking. We had a small group of 7 which allowed us to become friends fast, and visited places not big-bus friendly. Olive at the farmhouse was so friendly and inviting. All our meals were top notch and even enjoyed a nitecap at a local pub. Over all I would, and have recommended this tour.

Our private 9-day tour for 9 cousins and cousins-in-law delivered everything we'd hoped for – and a whole lot more. We did much research before deciding which tour company we'd work with, and it's hard to imagine having made a better choice than My Ireland Tours. Our rep, Martina Hegarty, was a pleasure to work with, developing an itinerary with us that satisfied our (quite lengthy!) wish lists, and patiently answering endless questions during the almost two-year run-up to the trip. (I'm also happy to report that the price My Ireland Tours quoted when we finalized the itinerary was exactly what we paid -- no hidden charges or nasty surprises.) It's also hard to imagine having a better driver-guide than warm, accommodating, funny, exceedingly knowledgeable Ben O'Sullivan. He was a wonderful storyteller — and an amazing singer (his beautiful voice brought tears to my eyes) — and each day his historical tidbits, tales of everyday life, songs, jokes and Irish lore enhanced whatever we were seeing or doing. He really made the trip for us. The accommodations My Ireland Tours booked were by and large terrific. The city hotels were superbly located, and the two places we stayed in the countryside enchanted us: Glasha Farmhouse (its host, Olive, is a charmer, and the pub down the road is not to be missed) and Ballynahinch Castle (such a lovely spot that we adjusted the next morning's itinerary to allow us to stay there right up until checkout). A wonderful, unforgettable trip.

We took a tour of Northern Ireland, and it was wonderful! Harry (the hat) our tour guide and bus driver was very good. He was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and was totally unflappable. The tour guide we had in Derry (Ronan) was also very good during our walking tour. The hotels were great - very nice rooms and meals. Although, the menu offerings at each hotel were either the same or very similar so we were definitely ready for something else by the end of the tour. We will definitely utilize this tour company again!

I just returned to Idaho from the 15-day Iconic Scenes tour. I cannot praise this tour enough! It was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Our driver-guide in the north was Colm D who was very knowledgeable and a great driver. He made sure that the fridge was full of water and treats available for the passengers. I really enjoyed his singing. Our driver in the Republic was Colm M. Along with great driving, he had a tremendous knowledge of Irish history. He was hands down the best guide I have ever had on an escorted tour, truly an amazing man. The tour itself was well laid out; the hotels and food were excellent. With the admissions to most sites and the addition of local guides, I don’t know what else they could have changed to improve the tour. Definitely a 5-star tour. I won’t hesitate to take another tour from this company. On a personal note, I loved getting to know the land of my great, great grandparents. I fell in love with Ireland and its people. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

I'm happy to recommend the great team at My Ireland Tour. Our 8 day tour of Southern Ireland was delightful. Our guide/driver, Ben O'Sullivan, was the perfect host. His love and knowledge of his country shone through. The accommodations, from hotel to castle to guest house and farm B&B were all excellent. I'd heard that the food in Ireland would be great and it was. Even the weather put it's best foot forward for our visit.

We had a fantastic tour with Tony for the 10 Day Iconic Ireland. He took very good care of us, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Because of his humor, knowledge and care, we came away with such wonderful memories of Ireland. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. We were with a group of 24 other people and met many new friends during the tour. Excellent well organized tours. The food and accommodations were also very good.

A complete Ireland tour at a reasonable price. Competent, professional, well organized driver who truly knows Ireland (ask for Tony - he's the best), comfortable buses, excellent accommodations, good meals, thorough coverage of the special places in Ireland. Tours were interesting, thorough, and conducted at a good pace. Good variety of points of interest with some free time thrown in to allow for a more personalized experience. This tour is conducted in such a way that a single traveler would feel totally at ease and safe.

16 October 2019 • Ancient Ireland Tour
All in all I had a good time, with caveats noted below. The staff of My Ireland Tour were always helpful, whether I had questions about a particular tour or needed to add or change a reservation. There were 7 people on my tour, which was Ancient Ireland - Dingle version. There was a married couple, 2 friend-twosomes, and me. I had thought I might feel like a 5th wheel, but never did - everyone was friendly and welcoming. And knew enough to stay away from politics, except once... Ben O’Sullivan, our driver, had a great disposition and was fun to be with. He’d belt out songs, whether we wanted him to, or not, and told stories of The Famine. He never complained about having to carry very heavy, over-packed suitcases. We stayed at 2 particularly wonderful places - the first was Ballynahinch Castle in Galway, and the second was Heaton’s Guesthouse in Dingle. The grounds of the first were spectacular, as was the service and food. The owners of the second were particularly gracious and served a wonderful breakfast, as well. Fortunately, we stayed at each for two nights. There were things I would change. Many stops were eye-rollingly touristy, including one with a sign outside saying, “Hold a baby lamb.” For 3 Euros. Several highlighted towns we stopped at, including Galway, were built around tourism, with nearly every store catering to tourists (or students.). So, no fine Irish linens to send home, wonderful bookstores to browse though, etc. Had I known ahead of time how touristy it would be, I might have made reservations to see areas on my own once the tour ended. I would like to have learned more about the history of places we saw, to have a sense of who lived there, where the marauders were, which Irish writers lived nearby or wrote about It.

Me and my wife Kelly went on the 10 Day Deluxe Castle Tour in September 2019. This tour was amazing. It all started with Martina booking everything for us in 2018. We didnt have not one issue. Our tour guide Colm Clarke was absolutely amazing. He made the tour extremely enjoyable. All the hotels were very nice and the staff at each of those hotels were great. All the people on the tour were great as well. We got to see so many different things. This tour was defintely worth the money. We do plan on going back.

Our family trip to Ireland was fantastic. All seventeen of us gave it a perfect “10”. Kristel from My Ireland Tour was with us all the way: planning, answering questions, and execution! Our driver Colm was so thoughtful, informative and entertaining. We had fun on the bus and at every step along the way. We strongly recommend My Ireland Tour for your next trip to Ireland. It was great craic.

05 October 2019 • My Ireland Tour Package
I have been to Ireland ten times on vacation, but never used a tour service, howevert I will from now on. Perfect 10 for MyIremandTour and a 10+ our driver Brendan. Our group picked the locales to visit Galway, Donegal, and finished in Doolin, County Clare, but MyIrelandTour and Brendan handled all the details. The hotels, restaruants, and the frequent pub stops, all seemed to know Brendan and we were treated first class. MyIrelandTour/Brendan would make recommenation on activites and meals, they were totally flexible if our group decided to change up plans (i.e. breakfast at a pub with Ireland-Japan rugby viewing). No pressure, they were there to do what we wanted, and just take the hassle out of it. As far as knowledge of Irish history and sites, Brendan was off the charts, forgetting more than we'll have know. All done with a keen sense of humor, and ultimately he became a true friend which we hope to see again. Thanks for the memories Brendan.

Nice trip. Our driver Mark was great. The only problem was he was supposed to meet us at 9:00 am at Dublin airport and by 9:30 he was still not there. I was beyond worried that I was stranded in Ireland. You need to fix that.

04 October 2019 • 15 Day Iconic Scenes
We did a LOT of homework of tours of Ireland in late 2018 before landing on My Ireland Tour for our visit in September 2019. This choice was based on the duration, highlights, included meals, cost and previous TripAdvisor reviews. Two friends joined us on our 15 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour (South & North) tour, and we all agreed it far exceeded our high expectations. Our guides, especially “don’t even jokingly call me Gollum” Colm, were encyclopedically knowledgeable, hugely entertaining and very accommodating of specific requests. The hotels and meals were superb, especially the final night at the Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links. Free time was usually just what we needed. We highly recommend this company, and especially this double-tour.

We had an amazing time on our recent 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Our driver Tony was professional, fun and very knowledgeable, sharing history, fun facts, jokes and songs while we enjoyed a relaxing ride from place to place. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days while out on the coast and out of the entire tour only 1 day of rain. Everything went so smooth from the very first day I contacted My Ireland Tour, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable, relaxing way to take in Ireland. We hope to go back to see more in the future and would certainly look to My Ireland Tour to book that trip!

Our personalised Ireland Tour of 7 adults with My Ireland Tour was simply outstanding. We started the process of selecting a local agent 12 months prior to the trip. MIT(My Ireland Tour) came back with the best and cost effective itinerary. An itinerary that incorporates some of our ‘wishes’ too. This back office communication with Eric O’Gorman over the length of 12 months was fabulous. We got response within the day mostly. The speed by which Eric and his team works simple amazes me. He made us feel special! Payments online went through without a problem. MIT has got the back office infrastructure well developed and thought through! 10 days prior to the tour Shannon comes up with the finalised itinerary giving contact details of our guide/driver David O’Neill. On the tour of 12 days, comfortably seated in a coach, we covered so much beauty, culture and history. David is like a talking history book! So knowledgeable about history n Irish folklore. No need for any Goggle references! His stories were entertaining. Never knew history could be so enjoyable! (I hated history in school!). Manoeuvring around some of the village roads n bends, David was patient and safe. The best guide/driver we have had in our travels. So ... leaving Ireland with a heavy heart! Besides the beauty Ireland has to offer, the MIT team made our experience one that would take us back to Ireland! With MIT of course. A standard ovation for Eric, Shannon, David and the rest of the MIT!

I enjoyed everything about the 10 Day Iconic Ireland tour. Our driver Oisin was amazing; great sense of humor, safe driver, and able to provide alternative entertainment due to weather! The hotels, the food, the itinerary, all of it was well thought out. We had a great group of travelers and all of the sites were more beautiful than photos can depict. If you want to see Ireland, this is the group you want to choose.

Our experience with My Ireland Tour was fantastic. The hub and spoke nature of the tour minimized hotel hopping, yet allowed us to see all the sights of Dublin, Glendolough, Galway, the ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, Limerick, Kilarney , Blarney caste etc. The natural beauty was stunning, the food was terrific, the pubs scene and music were authentic, but the best part was our driver Liam. He drove expertly, sang beautifully, and taught us a thing or two about historical and contemporary Ireland. Highly recommended.

07 September 2019 • 10 Day Iconic Scenes
How many good things can I say about My Irish Tours. My answer is not enough. Let's start with the tour (Ours was the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland option): The one phrase description that comes to mind is 'well paced'. My spouse and I are past the time when we choose to wake up at dawn and keep traveling til dusk in order to see as much as possible during a day. Our tour day was typically 9 to 6. Part of that is spent resting (and viewing the wonderful countryside) while being driven to another interesting area or place. We saw and experienced plenty of wonderful and interesting areas each day, had good guides for the historical areas, and sufficient time to explore on our own. Accommodations and travel: I can find no fault with the accommodations that were arranged for us. We usually stayed in a hotel for two days while exploring nearby areas. It's surprisingly feels much less hectic than tours where it's a different hotel most days. They were all comfortable, clean, and restful, with pleasant and accommodating staff members. And for others who travel while keeping tabs on work or home, we experienced reliable wi fi at each hotel. The bus used to transport us around Ireland was comfortable, clean, and roomy. A bonus was usb charging stations at each seat, and the bus provided wi fi. People: Two words...just wonderful. Our driver/guide Tony was and is fantastic. Personable, knowledgeable, capable, organized, helpful, entertaining. He seems to have personal contacts at each hotel and attraction. He shared history, background, and anecdotes during our travels. I really want to clone him for our next trip. Martina (at the office) was wonderful at helping us keep track of our trip planning, providing itinerary updates (no major changes) and insights, packing advice (bring a water resistant windbreaker with a hood), and all other administrivia.

We are currently in the middle of our 15-day Ireland tour. Everything about the trip thus far has been wonderful, from the hotels to the food to the breathtaking beauty of this Country. Our guide Oisin has given us a true feel for what life in Ireland is about. Thank you to MIT for this amazing trip! If I had one complaint it would be that there is not nearly enough time to experience all that the sites have to offer. I guess we'll need another 2 weeks!

We recently returned from the 7 Day Castles & Backroads Tour and I could not be happier with My Ireland Tour. It was my first time out of the states so I didn't really know what to expect. From the moment our driver/guide Brendan picked us up at the airport, he shared his infinite knowledge of the culture, history and beauty of Ireland. He handled any little issues that arose with ease and a sense of humor. I loved the places we visited and stayed throughout our tour. Our group was diverse with people from all over the world. I made at least one friend I will likely travel with in the future. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering a visit. I definitely left a piece of my heart in Ireland and cannot wait to return. Thank you!

The My Ireland Tour team helped us coordinate a schedule to cover a good bit of the country in a relatively short period of time. The accommodations were all delightful with a good variety of locations. We did a private tour with Peter and he was fantastic! Peter really made the trip; he went above and beyond answering our questions, adding in some out-of-the-way stops and working hard to ensure we had a great experience. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour and appreciated the team's help to create a memorable trip for our family!

My husband and I did the Castles and Backroads Tour for his 30th Birthday and it was an amazing trip! Garey was our driver/guide and he was full of great information and helpful tips. We hit all the top must-see sights in Ireland, and staying in Castle Hotels was fantastic! The tour was extremely well organized, whenever we entered an attraction the tickets were ready to go and there were no lines to wait in. The bus had USB chargers and wifi, so that was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour!

I was not disappointed! Our group was a lot if fun and our driver/ guide was exceptional! Tom Lavin gave us the inside history of this wonderful place. The castles and manor homes we stayed at were first class and food was wonderful. This tour will not disappoint. My sister Gail Shourds did a great job of reviewing this tour and I agree wholly with her. It was the trip of a lifetime!

My husband and I just returned from Ireland and our wonderful 6 day iconic Ireland tour. We had never taken a tour of this length before and it was a pleasure to have all arranged for us. Liam Finnegan was our very knowledgeable and humorous guide and driver. He covered everything from history, to education, to language, myth and folklore, house construction to the meaning of place names etc while driving! He sang to us. We had a few long days and still he was always energetic and in good spirits. His driving was impeccable and his story telling was fascinating and engaging.We left the tour with an abiding love of Ireland and the Irish people and a deeper understanding of its history and present day issues. We stayed at the Clayton Hotel Burlington in Dublin which was very good and the Clayton Limerick which was good. Liam picked us up at the airport and dropped us to our hotel at the end of the tour which was most appreciated. I highly recommend My Ireland’s 6 day iconic tour, we saw a lot, did a lot,and had fun and were also very fortunate to have great weather!

15 August 2019 • Deluxe Castles Tour
After our mother passed away my sister and I put aside some inheritance money for two trips. Last summer we took one of my sons to Washington DC and this year we took one of her daughters with us on a tour of Ireland. We went on the Deluxe Castle Tour from August 4-13th. We were by far the luckiest to get Tom Lavin as our driver and guide for the tour. We stayed in fantastic Castle/ manor house hotels, saw incredible sites, did fantastic shopping and enjoyed every single minute. Tom is incredibly knowledgeable about people, politics, places and history. One of my fondest memories is sitting in the coach watching fantastic scenery go by while he was either telling a story, filling us in on the background or history of where we were going or what we were seeing or we were listening to wonderful Irish music that he played for us. He made sure we were on time for everything and kept us on schedule yet made time to be most accommodating to everybody and he was always making sure that we were happy with where we were staying, with the service we were receiving and he had a fantastic sense of humor. I can't tell you how many wonderful things we saw but it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and having breakfast, dinner and entrance fees already included made things so easy. Our group was wonderful and I can truly say that it was like being on vacation with a bunch of friends rather than a driver and a tour group. I want to thank Tom profusely for making us all feel like family and showing us all such a spectacular time. If you want a trip to remember forever this is definitely the one.

This was our first trip to Ireland, and also our first trip on a group tour. We could not have been more pleased. Our tour guide, Mark, was the best! He was mega competent, accommodating, entertaining, informed, and just an all-around awesome person with whom to tour Ireland. We saw so much of the Emerald Isle from Dublin to Galway City to Cork and many places in between. We did the 10-day Iconic Tour. Ireland was a super pleasant surprise for me, and this trip was very close to life changing. The people of Ireland were SO friendly and it felt so calm and wonderful there. Can't wait to return, and we would definitely travel with My Ireland Tour again. I rate them a SOLID 5 (on a scale of 1-5). Thank you for the opportunity to review this fine group!

Our tour guide Ben was an absolute joy. His love of Ireland and life in general made the trip a resounding success. The views of the countryside included discussions about his life and work over the years and his singing was the best. One word would trigger a song that was relevant to the area we were touring or the event we were discussing at the time. The countryside was beautiful, the tour bus and hotel accommodations were great and the people of Ireland were super nice. Ben is a hard worker and genuinely loves being around people. He is a great ambassador for the country and these tours.

All of the hotels that were booked were in great locations and were clean and comfortable. Ger took us on a few sites that were off the beaten path. He told us stories, worked in history, asked us our particular likes and interests and accommodated our needs perfectly! He handled all the vouchers - checked us in to the various museums, etc - without any problem. My husband and I feel so blessed to have taken our teenage children to Ireland to explore their heritage. I would use My Ireland Tours again without hesitation!

I really enjoyed the variety of things we got to see on our iconic scenes of Ireland tour. From cliffs and castles to villages and big cities, we took in the beauty of Ireland at a relaxed pace. I loved that our driver recommended we make the hike up to a waterfall in Killarney National Park (even though it was pouring and we got soaked!). A fun memory! The Irish food was scrumptious, and the places where we stayed were very comfortable with the exception of no air conditioning at a few places. Also, I absolutely loved the show at the end of our tour where we experienced a wonderful meal along with terrific Irish music and dancing. They did a wonderful job of getting the audience involved.

We booked a private tour for 9 people with My Ireland Tour. Kristel created an itinerary to include all the sites we wanted to see and she answered all our questions in a timely manner. We added an additional person and had to make several changes to our accommodations. Each change was handled easily by Kristel and she communicated with me all along the way. Our tour guide Kevin meet us at the airport with a smile. Two of our group had a flight issue, and were late. Kevin made sure the 2 knew where we were and provided tickets to them for the site we were at during that time. We had a city tour in Dublin with Georgina, she was very knowledgable of Dublin and gave us a lot of great information we would not have known if we just toured on our own. During the trip, Kevin provided commentary regarding the places we were going to and clearly communicated what we should expect. He sang and told jokes too! He was flexible with the timeline and even squeezed in a sheepdog show that wasn't on our itinerary. I am very glad we choose My Ireland Tour. We had a fantastic time without having to worry about how to get to the next place or wait in long lines for tickets or parking.

The size of the group restricted to 26. The inclusiveness of the tour for excursions and at least 2 meals a day. The hotels were all very good as well as the tour/bus drivers. The pace of the tours was good as there was never a really early morning pick up and we had time between excursions on the bus to relax.

We loved the schedule with two days hotel stops, we loved the bus that was not cram packed full, we loved our tour guide/driver Tony-the best in Ireland, we loved the history, and the songs, and the food... Mostly we loved exploring the culture and history of Ireland with family and new friends. We will be back!

We are so thankful we chose My Ireland Tour for our first visit to Ireland. The small tour (8 people) was absolutely fantastic. We saw so much of the country we wouldn't have seen on our own. And the small group was perfect. We never waited in line for anything and had intimate tours of places we would not have had otherwise. Our driver, David, was an absolute delight--funny, personable, knowledgable. The places we stayed were wonderful choices. Cannot recommend My Ireland Tour enough!

Eric was so easy to work with while planning the itinerary, collaborative and always very responsive with questions. He made great suggestions for places to visit and designed a wonderful trip for our first visit to Ireland. Our driver/guide Amanda was excellent. Very kind, knowledgeable, and an expert driver on those Irish country roads! All trip details were seamless throughout our stay, hotel accommodations were great, Mercedes sprinter was comfortable, and we all felt very well taken care of. Amanda also went out of her way to further personalize our trip by helping us locate the homestead of my grandmother - a spontaneous detour from our itinerary, but what a special experience! I highly recommend My Ireland Tour for your trip to Ireland, and I would definitely choose them again for a future visit.

We recently returned from the 15 day tour. This was one of the best tours I've ever been a part of. From the initial booking through the trip itself, My Ireland was on top of everything. We stayed at some really nice hotels and some good (sometimes great) food along the way. Our guides (Mark in Northern Ireland and Brendon down south) were both excellent. They offered a wealth of knowledge about the country. They took good care of group and even brought us to a couple of extra locations that weren't noted in the published itinerary. My wife had/has a foot injury and we were even contemplating having to miss the trip, but Mark and Brendon were always there to help her when needed and to sit with her at a few attractions where the walking was too much. Martina also did a great job in getting our family (had our 13 year old with us) rooms that were comfortable and spacious. We also met some great folks on the tour. I'll also give Mother Nature a shout out since it we only had 1 rainy day out of the 14 days on tour - lol. Overall, it was a memorable trip and a great job by My Ireland Tours!

The Deluxe Castle Tour was amazing; what a great trip! Tom was an outstanding Tour Leader. His driving skill on the narrow roads was exceptional and we felt safe and comfortable throughout. His planning was seamless and we seemed to arrive everywhere at the perfect time with everything ready for us. His knowledge of geography, history, economics and politics combined with his eloquent narrative kept us well informed at every stage. The coach was very comfortable with great views, air-conditioning and even Wi-Fi. The hotels were well chosen, providing 5-star accommodation, exceptional meals and fantastic views. In summary, this was a luxurious way to see Ireland and learn about its history and current affairs. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to my friends and we will now be looking to repeat the experience in Scotland.

I wanted to send you a separate email about the trip. It was literally the best trip we have ever taken. I cannot thank you enough for the planning and the places you took us to on the trip. Patrick Buckley was outstanding. His knowledge of the country and its history was so impressive. We learned so much from him. None of us wanted to leave. My oldest, in fact, is starting to look at going to University there. She cried when we had to leave. I have never laughed as hard as when we were driving around. He was funny, charming and very concerned with us having a good time. Each day we had a full schedule, but Patrick managed to take us to so many additional places everyday. It was absolutely wonderful. He was so passionate about the country and his love of Ireland. He wanted to show us EVERYTHING! His spirit was contagious. One place he stopped was at the Kerry Creamery. That was not on your list, but something you should check out. My daughters really enjoyed the tour and what we learned. They even have a petting zoo which the girls loved. The owners were both there and were so friendly. We also loved the sheep herding demonstration and the Bogs. We are already talking about coming back next year. It was the most positive experience ever. I appreciate your tremendous communication and the great pricing you offered for the whole tour. Everyone we met was lovely, but Patrick made it the best.

My husband and I recently returned home, from our “10 Day Iconic Scenes....” trip with “My Ireland Tour”. We booked this trip for our Honeymoon. We had an incredible time and can not speak highly enough of your tour company and your amazing driver that we had, Tony! He looked after everyone and tried to accommodate any requests, at all times. We never felt rushed or that we were stuck on a bus for too long - he gave us all plenty of time to go adventuring in each town/location. He taught our group so much about the history of Ireland and had everyone laughing quite often, during our drives. I’m sure all of your drivers are wonderful but we highly recommend Tony to anyone looking to book a trip :, The hotels were the nicest we’ve ever stayed at, the food was delicious and no one ever had to worry about going hungry! We enjoyed visiting all of the different places that we were able to, and felt that every single thing, was very well organized: by your company and Tony, all the hotel staff members, other tour guides, etc. We also really enjoyed getting to know and becoming friends with the 24 other people who made up our tour group. We really loved everything about this trip. Ireland is an incredible place and the people we met out there, are some of the most down-to-earth, witty people around. We will be comparing any future trips to the awesome experience we had on this one. Please continue offering a variety of different packages. Maybe we can visit someday again or better yet, we could just win a lottery and buy a second home in Ireland haha! Thank you so much once again, for everything.

We just wrapped up a 10 day private tour. David O'Neil was our fabulous tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the many areas we visited and such a pleasant man. David went above and beyond for us - recommended wonderful pubs, brought us to the 9/11 memorial, walked us into every exhibit and guided us throughout our trip. Margarita was very helpful in putting this trip together for the 8 of us. She customized our trip and assisted with our hotel in Dublin for days extending beyond our tour. If you are looking for a personalized small group tour, I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

It was a small group, easy to get acquainted with all people in the tour group. Our driver, Michael Coleman was excellent, friendly, good sense of humor and very informative. The tour was well arranged and included some some of the greatest beauty of Ireland, such as the Cliffs of Mohr and the Ring of Kerry. Enjoyed it very much.

Our hotels were all very nice and checking in was a breeze! The food was always tasty and plentiful. I learned so much about Irish history and culture. The Irish people are soooo nice and helpful. I reccommend this trip to anyone looking for a smaller tour!

14 members of our family took My Ireland Tour on a 10 day vacation in Ireland. Nigel was our tour guide and driver. He did an amazing job and treated us like royalty everywhere we went. He was witty funny and patient. His knowledge of Ireland and its history made every aspect of this trip enjoyable. One of the most relaxing vacations. Thank you Nigel, My Ireland Tour for an unforgettable experience!! Will definitely go back and recommend this company and Nigel.

I highly recommend My Irish Tour for anyone looking to organize a custom tour of Ireland. We were a group of 16 ladies travelling to Ireland to participate in a Half Marathon & 10K earlier this month. Kristel O'Connor was an absolute pleasure to work with. She arranged all of our accommodations and persisted to make sure we got in to the only hotel in the village for race weekend. As a group we were quite specific with things we wanted to see and do - Kristel made it happen!! Our driver, Peter Mullen was fabulous right from the get-go. He got us where we needed to go and even added in a detour or two when asked. Payment was really easy as everyone just logged in to our tour and made their own payments by credit card: this can be an issue with many tour companies requesting a cashier’s cheque from 1 person to cover everyone. I hope this helps anyone sitting on the fence make the decision to plan their trip to Ireland.

From the initial booking contact with Martina, our 10 day tour of Ireland( May 29-June 7, 2019, was a wonderful experience. The itinerary was well planned and we never felt rushed. Our guide, Colm, made us feel well cared for and between his Irish history lessons, jokes, songs, efficient hotel check ins and luggage handling and incredible driving skills we always had a smile on our faces. He knew everyone on the tour and was responsive, polite and kind. We added a few days prior to the start of the tour to visit the wonderful free museums that are in central Dublin. Highly recommend doing that at the beginning or end of the tour. Our accomodations throughout the trip were excellent, the coach was comfortable and our fellow travelers were a pleasure to be with. Don't forget your umbrella and some waterproof shoes or boots because that beautiful green Ireland can be rainy!

When I was researching a tour company for Ireland I couldn't find a single negative comment about My Ireland Tour. Now I understand why! I have recently returned from the Ancient Ireland Dingle version tour for 8. From the iconic sites and accommodations to the expert tour guide, we couldn't have asked for more. The pace and variety of site visits was perfect for a first time visitor. Our tour guide Colm blended Irish history and humor with professionalism and charm. The accommodations offered a wonderful blend of experiences and service was outstanding. This was truly a value added experience!

The trip was fantastic! We did the Ancient Ireland Dingle tour and the quality of this trip is top-notch, from sites to accommodations. Our driver-guide was Colm, and he is an absolute asset as a guide. He was great fun. I hope to return to Ireland someday and will absolutely use your tour services again--I wouldn't see Ireland any other way now! Thank you for putting together such quality tours!

Exceeded expectations in every way! With Martina’s assistance, we planned a small group custom tour for 12 and everything was fabulous. We loved our itinerary, our accommodations were top-notch, the restaurant recommendations were spot-on, and we loved our driver/guide, Colm. He was attentive, knowledgeable, personable and made every day an adventure. Such efficiency from the planning throughout the actual trip - we have not one complaint about our 10-day amazing vacation! We highly recommend this tour company!

Recently booked a tour with My Ireland Tour and it was perfect! I have nothing bad to say. Our guide was amazing, friendly, and very knowledgeable. It was so nice that everything was taken care of from hotels, experiences and even some meals. They really went above and beyond so that we could truly enjoy our vacation without stress. Highly recommend this tour company!

We take a family trip once or twice a year – 28 of us that includes 14 kids under 16. Bus driver/tour guide – best ever! Mark was funny, kind, and very informed! Also, no accidents. He made the trip special and flexible allowing us to make additional stops never planned. Ask for Mark. The home office also went over and above to handle all the planning – and gave us the best value ,I selected My Ireland Tour, after bids and comparing three others. If the company and Mark are in the next country our family visits – no question – we would book with them.

Friendly, knowledgeable driver. Roy gave us a great mix of history but with a first person perspective of the country. The tours were very good and varied - historical, ancient monastery, hiking, good tours of Belfast and Derry with local guides. Comfortable clean hotels. Portmarnock Hotel was beautiful. Small group. Highly recommend.

I have just taken my second tour with your company and it was amazing. I was by myself a couple of years ago and talked about it so much that two friends and my wife wanted to go so I brought them this time. We did not have the best weather but in spite of that it was great! Colin was guide, friend, comedian, driver and nursemaid to us all and the best ever! Food was great and the hotels exceptional. A beautiful country and the friendliness is infectious. Will be back!

Just returned a week ago from a marvelous trip to Ireland with my BFF's, arranged by Kristel O'Connor who did a magnificent job in arranging our trip! Kristel is knowledgable, professional, adaptable & made our somewhat static criteria seem effortless in accommodating. The hotels were wonderful - clean, friendly service and nice accommodations. Our driver, Peter Mullen, what can I say, he is absolutely THE BEST! Highly recommend, will definitely tell others & hope to use again!

The experience was terrific. The country is beautiful, the people were gracious and friendly, the hotels were impressive, Tom, out guide, was excellent: knowledgeable and accomodating, and even the weather was kind of fun, going from sunshine to rain to subnshine in a matter of minutes. I'd be hard pressed to think of any improvements. Definitely recommend it.

We returned home yesterday from an 8 day trip to Ireland. My Ireland Tour was amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way! From the beginning, Kristel guided us in our planning process, and even when we needed unexpected special accommodations a week prior to our trip, she was able to make that happen. The hotels and itinerary were custom-selected for our small group family tour and everything that we requested was accommodated. The coach was very clean and comfortable. One day we had a substitute driver, Dan, who was kind, knowledgeable, and professional, as were other special guides along the way. We really want to give a large amount of gratitude to our driver/guide, Mark. Our trip would not have been the same without his knowledge, skill, professionalism, kindness, and compassion. We all felt a special bond with him that we carried with us back to the USA. We would definitely tour with My Ireland Tour again, and we will highly recommend them to family and friends!!!

5+ STARS FOR SURE!!! Wow! Words can't even begin to express the amazing experience our group had with MIT! From start to finish Eric help plan the absolute perfect trip! I led a group of photography students from Nossi College of Art out of Nashville, TN USA and from the time we stepped off the plane until the time we popped back on MIT took care of us and treated us like family. Our driver/tour guide ,Dermot, went above and beyond to make sure the college students captured picture perfect moments!!! I can't recommend this tour company enough. Hats off to Dermot for being the best in the touring business! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

What a marvelous experience! We booked a private tour with 2 friends and loved every minute. The My Ireland staff asked what we wanted to experience and did a perfect job of making it happen--lovely B&Bs as we worked our way across the country with a stop in County Kerry to visit Irish relatives. The last night we stayed in Ballynahinch Castle--what a fabulous experience--picturesque setting, posh rooms and best dinner I've ever had. Our guide/driver Patrick was 'grand' and we felt we got an insider's view of Ireland from our conversations with him. Highly recommend this company!

Since childhood my three sisters and I have been dreaming of traveling together to visit where our ancestors came from in Northern Ireland. We looked up several organized tours, but none of them really incorporated all of the places we were hoping to visit. My Ireland Tours offered an excellent option of a customized tour with an experienced driver/guide and comfortable transportation. We worked with their experts to come up with the perfect itinerary with flexibility to make changes on the way. This really came in to play when weather delayed one of the highlights of our trip, yet we were able to wait it out for a while before crossing the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. This wouldn’t have been an option on a regular tour. Our driver/guide Brian was extremely accommodating and so much more than a driver. He shared his extensive knowledge of the history of the area as well as some fun facts and a bit of Irish humor! The accommodations arranged for this trip were exceptional, including overnight in a luxurious castle with a gourmet dinner included. Absolutely amazing! This trip absolutely lived up to our hopes after decades of dreaming about this excursion together. Kudos to the whole team!

Best Ever! Tony McGoey is just the best guide ever!! I promise you will never have more fun in a small group tour of Ireland with anyone better than Tony! Best hotels, castles, restaurants, tours, and camaraderie on the planet! Do as much or as little as you like! Learn as much or as little as you care to with Tony to guide you. 10 stars from me!

We took the 11 day Iconic Tour of Ireland with Tony McGoey as our driver...he was fantastic to say the least....he made us fall in love with the island with his knowledge and history of the island, his stories , some true, and of course his wonderful singing voice. From the Abbeys,to Galway to the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, to the local farm we had lunch at near Killarney, it was all wonderful. Our hotels were 5-star and the meals were amazing. Tony went out of his way to make sure everyone in our group of 25 were well taken care of in every way. We only saw 1/2 the island so we will go back and when we do My Ireland Tours is who we will call...they are fantastic!!!

Our tour guide Brian and the amazing people on the tour made my experience spectacular. We all looked out for each other and feeling welcomed was so important to me. Our tour guide Brian was funny, very knowledgeable, and made sure we were safe at all times. The places we visited were so breathtaking. Thank you so much for this great experience. I will hold Ireland close to my heart forever.

He truly helped make this trip one I will always remember! I was very impressed with everything. From the hotels we stayed at, to the daily activities. Everything was well planned, from the time given at each stop to getting hotel keys handed to you as your getting off the bus. I was able to travel with a great group of people ,25 on the bus, and the small group was perfect! Once again, thank you Tom, Martina and Kristel for making this trip what it was!

We took the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour and had a wonderful time. The tour shows a good cross section of the country. We appreciated the smaller group, 26 on the bus. We were lucky and had fantastic weather. Our driver was Tom Lavin, and he was top notch. I'd give him ten stars if that was an option. He's very knowledgeable, always helpful and courteous, and funny, too! We rented a car for a few days after the tour ended, and Tom gave us helpful information about driving in Ireland. The tour is very well organized from start to finish. We highly recommend this company.

My husband and I just returned from the 10-day Iconic Scenes tour. ,last week in March 2019, Words cannot express how delighted we were with this company. We were so lucky to have Tom Lavin as our tour guide/driver. He was always pleasant, professional, personable, knowledgeable about current events as well as a walking encyclopedia of Ireland's history, so very accommodating to the guests, too....he is a gem and My Ireland Tour can be proud of him. The hotels on the whole were very good, most meals good, breakfasts were fantastic. Coach very comfortable and clean. Gee, can you tell we had a great time?! My Ireland Tour rates a 10/10 in our book. Thank you for a great tour and for the memories.

29 March 2019 • Discover Northern Ireland
What a marvelous experience! My husband and I were on the 5 day Northern Ireland tour from March 20-25, 2019 and enjoyed every minute of it! Our tour guide, Nigel O'Connor, was so professional and attentive to the group, always conscious of our schedule for the day but also allowing for slight changes as necessary. For example, two guests wanted to attend St. Michael's early mass one morning and that request was accommodated with an alternate pick up location for them. The tour was just the right pace with drives no more than 2 hours at a time with an opportunity to stop and stretch once during the drive. The sites we visited were beyond our expectations... Titanic museum in Belfast, Giants Causeway, Derry/Londonderry wall tour, boat tour on Loche Erne, and Trim Castle were all highlights. Our accommodations and the meals were exceptional every night. Thanks so much for a terrific, memorable vacation!

This tour and company far exceeded my best expectations. My husband and I are an older couple and took the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour in June. My husband is no longer able to travel but I fell in love with Ireland. My daughter will accompany me this time. We hope to take the Castles and Backroads Tour. I would not think of going with another tour company. You can't improve on perfection.

This was my bucket list trip, I went in Oct. Ireland was everything I had hoped. Tony the drive/guide was ... well I wonder how many tour guides sing to their cargo? He was great. Always in good humor and full of did you know's... The hotels were good. The food, well as a picker eater I am not a good judge of that but I was never hungry. Having only 26 people on the tour is not overwhelming and we all got along :). All of the stops on the tour were great! I would like to have had more time at the Monastery ruins. The only thing I would change, and this has nothing to do with the tour, is not getting the flu my last day in Dublin... so glad I booked an extra day!

I have already recommended My Ireland Tour to friends and family. I hope to return someday.

This was our first trip to Ireland and we looked at several different options. We were not disappointed with My Ireland Tours. We did the combined 10 Day Iconic and the 5 Day Northern Ireland tours. We LOVED Harry, our 10 day tour driver/guide. We liked the pace of the 10 day tour and felt like we really got to .see. Ireland. Nigel, our driver/guide for our Northern tour was equally good. The hotels were very nice and both drivers were flexible in responding to requests from the group for longer time in certain places and allowing us to skip one tour and pick us up in the village. All in all, very happy. Martina was excellent and quick to respond to any question we had. She helped us secure additional nights in a hotel for our pre-tour stay. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone who wants a true Irish experience.

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!

What a wonderful experience with wonderful people. Kieran, our guide was knowledgeable and generous. Our group was small enough to become cohesive and we've formed relationships that will last. The tour itself was well-paced, informative and comfortable and we were able to experience sites that were unique and off the beaten path. I loved our accommodations. The food was great. Don't hesitate. Alone or coupled or grouped. You won't be disappointed. You'll expand your understanding of Irish history and culture. And you'll make fabulous memories!

I usually travel on my own with friends, but this Northern Ireland tour was way beyond my expectations. Nigel was an excellent tour guide and Peter, our guide in Derry, explained everything for me about The Troubles and how the area has moved forward. All the hotels were top notch, and plenty of choices for breakfast and dinner. I especially liked the train ride from Coleraine to Derry. I chatted with a Irish woman on her way home from work. The people on this tour were so friendly and fun to be with on each of the outings and we had wonderful conversations at meal times. I highly recommend this tour and My Ireland Tour.

Just experienced a wonderful small group tour with My Ireland Tour and our driver/guide Kieran Mangan. The eight in our group got along nicely and enjoyed the knowledge, humor and kindness Kieran offered. The itinerary was not too touristy, and the pace was relaxed and allowed for some flexibility. It was nice to not always be on a beaten path. The overall quality of the food, hotels and selected sites was great! Ireland is a beautiful country and My Ireland Tour made visiting easy, fun and interesting. While we certainly can and have traveled independently ,and in fact, this particular trip was a mix of tour and independent travel), the overall value and experience were both enhanced by the small group tour.

We just completed the Castles and Backroads tour. Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable and friendly. The castles were an interesting change from hotels. From Celtic Crystal to the Book of Kells to the Cliffs of Moher, this tour is well worth it!

What a wonderful experience we had with your tour! It was my husband’s and my first time to Ireland and your company made it exceptional. Excellent lodging, food and transportation but what made it truly outstanding was our tour guide, Colm. He was so knowledgeable and helpful, but it was his quick wit that kept our whole group laughing and bonding together. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour! 5-stars!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our My Ireland tour. Our tour driver and guide Colm was just an excellent guide. He had a very good level of knowledge about Irish history and he demonstrated a wonderful Irish spirit when he talked about each of the sites and areas we visited. He was humorous, interesting and a real Irishman with a love for his country and an interesting life philosophy reflected in his Irish upbringing. The bus was clean and roomy which was good and each day Colm spiffed things up inside and out which was nice. We were lucky to have a great group of 12 total people who got along well and were interested in having a good time and enjoying our Irish experience. We will definitely do another My Ireland tour.

We recently booked our tour of Ireland through My Ireland Tours based on a recommendation from a friend. Our friends took a private tour with a driver guide and that sounded great to us so we could focus on the scenery while someone else did the driving. I emailed Kristel and told her what we were looking to do and she responded very quickly with a sample itinerary. We emailed back and forth a few times to tweak the plans and she set up everything from hotels to admission tickets to the driver. When we arrived at the airport, we were greeted by Ger Murphy who started us on our trip. We had so much fun with Ger, he was informative, engaging and funny. We all enjoyed his company and knowledge. All of the hotels Kristel booked for us were just what we needed. We made so many wonderful memories and a lot of great photos to show for it. We saw many more sites in the time we had than if we had tried to do our own planning, plus we would have gotten lost for sure, We would highly recommend booking your Ireland trip through My Ireland Tours.

06 September 2018 • 15 Day Iconic Scenes
We just finished our 15 day Iconic tour. This was our first trip to Ireland. We absolutely loved it! Our drivers Tom Lavin and Barry Loe were great. Barry deserves special mention as he made sure Bob got to a pharmacy, while the rest of us were enjoying the sites, when he ran out of meds for an awful cold. The hot toddies at Bushmills definitely helped. We miss the morning Irish coffee stop with friends. We had such a wonderful group of friends by the time we departed. We plan to come back again with My Ireland Tours.

My family and I had a wonderful time on tour with My Ireland Tour. We had a private coach for 7 of us. We visited the West Coast, Galway, Kilarny and Cork. Joe did an amazing job and we saw many things we would not have seen if we didn’t have a tour guide. His personal stories of Ireland made it all that much more impactful. They customized everything to my family's needs and made it easy to plan. The arrangements were top of the line. Highly recommend.

The Deluxe Irish Castles tour was absolutely amazing. My wife and I chose it for our 40th anniversary; and we could not have asked for better. I am over a year late in writing this [we went in June of '17] but I can assure you nothing has changed in the quality of the product here. Our driver/guide Tony was amazing [and he can sing pretty well if you can get him to do so] and his base of knowledge made every aspect of the tour more than we could have hoped for. The lodging was first rate, the countryside breathtaking, and the tour company totally professional yet welcoming in every way.

After a lot of research with different tour companies, we decided to book the 6 day Discover Northern Ireland tour with .My Ireland Tour.. It was well worth it. Very well organised from the moment we were picked up from the airport. All local guides that the company used were amazing, as we were also pleased with our driver/guide Roy. The sights were well chosen, and the country is absolutely fascinating. It was a wonderful trip, also because we got to meet other group members from all over the world.

I took my mother on the 10-day tour as an 80th birthday gift. This is the first guided tour I've booked, and the My Ireland Tour website was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I can honestly say this holiday was better than I could have imagined. Everything from the fellow passengers, to the bus, to the activities, to the guide was terrific! Each day was as fun as the previous. I was a bit sad for it to end. I want to say a very special thank you to Tony, our guide, for really making this trip special. Not only was Tony knowledgeable about the scheduled sites/stops, but he also gave us information about the Irish history and people in general. I also want to compliment all the guides who were scheduled at the various historical sites. They, too, were incredibly knowledgeable and terrific with their delivery. I will definitely be recommending My Ireland Tour to my friends and family.

My husband and I just came back from The Ancient Ireland 7 day mini group tour and loved it! It was great having only 3 other couples plus our fabulous driver/guide David. The Mercedes Sprinter was comfy and had wifi. We both fell in love with Ireland and the people. Such a beautiful country with so much history. We would highly recommend using My Ireland Tours for anyone wanting a personal touch but very much a professional company.

The itinerary was wonderful, the bus was excellent and our guide, Peter Kelly was absolutely superb. The small group concept of this tour along with the .hub and spoke. structure made for a trip that was great beyond our expectations.

My extended family of 10 recently spent 6 days touring Ireland with our guide, Keith Boyd. We mainly stuck to the South and did a big loop from east to west leaving from and returning to Dublin. It was a blast! We saw amazing sites and ventured off the beaten path occasionally...all so beautiful!

With the help of Eric from My Ireland Tours we created a near perfect tour of Ireland. We had 29 people on our tour and al had a great time. The highlights were the Jameson's Distillery, the town of Kenmare and the Heritage Center and Molly Gallivan's in Bonane. Our driver, Paddy, was the best and fit right in with our crazy group. This trip was the first time in Ireland for many and all said they would return. Thank you all again for making this so special.

Our tour was very pleasurable, although maybe not as memorable as our other four trips to the U.K. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy historical venues and spending time in unique villages and contrasting the difference between U.K. life and life in the States. We didn't see as many historical spots as we would have preferred, but that's just the nature of the tour we selected. Our tour guide, Tom Lavin, couldn't have been more professional or accommodating. Overall, a nice trip.

My son, mother, and I did a short custom tour of Ireland earlier this month. Patrick Breen was our guide and he was amazing. Patrick was previously a teacher and I found the teacher in him to be a perfect match for his job as a guide. Pat knows his history! Ireland was amazing and beautiful. Our trip had some of everything in it. We spent a night on a farm, saw sheepdogs hard at work on a farm, saw our share of forts, churches, and castles. I recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone looking to book a guided tour. And ask for Patrick Breen!

My sister and I took the Celtic Explorer tour in June 2018. The tour and guide, Harry, were amazing!! Harry took such good care of us, and he has an amazing amount of information to share as he's been a guide for a couple of decades. He also gave everyone in our group a personalized map of Ireland outlining everywhere we stopped. Martina at My Ireland Tour was always helpful as well. My only wish was for some of the hotels to be closer to the city centers. My sister and I moved on to Scotland after Ireland and joined a different tour company, and our experience with that tour and guide only emphasized how great My Ireland Tour and Harry were.

I want to thank My Ireland Tour and our driver/guide Tom for a memorable trip of a lifetime. I knew that MIT was the one when I saw their well planned website that left nothing to the imagination. The 10 day iconic trip had everything for the first timer to Ireland. It was very comforting to know what hotels,tours and costs associated with the tour would be. Our driver,Tom, was the best. He made sure we were cared for in all areas, which meant he put in very long days. He was knowledgeable on the points of interest during the whole trip. He also had a good sense of humor. I can't thank MIT enough for providing us with an exceptional experience in beautiful Ireland.

I just arrived home from the best holiday I have ever had! It was the 10 day iconic tour and our tour guide was Tom. Throughout the entire tour every person said several time how incredible Tom is. He’s the best tour guide I’ve ever met and if you’re lucky to get him you’re going to have an incredible adventure. The tour itself is wonderful from start to finish and if you’re lucky you’ll get a group half as good as mine. I will never forget it and will look forward to doing another tour with My Ireland Tours.

The country was quite lovely and we got to see a sampling of so many different things and areas around the island. It was so nice not to have to worry about driving. The hotels were nice, the coach was comfortable and new. The driver was excellent and contributed so much knowledge about the places that we visited and scenes along the way.

First I must say I am still in awwe of the beauty of Ireland and the genuine kindness of the Irish people. Next I will tell you I am disabled and unable to walk very far. This company and our wonderful tour guides went out of their way for me as I needed a scooter to get around These guys had to haul out to scooter every place we went and set it up for me. They brought the battery in and charged it every night. All this with kindness. It still brings years to my eyes. Because of them I was able to have a life time dream come true. I love you and am eternally grateful to you Tony and Cahill. Sorry I think I spelt that wrong, but you know you are. Much love always.

I just got back from a 7 day tour of Ireland with My Ireland Tours. Kristel, in planning was so great to work with and accommodated all our tour requests. Our driver Patrick, was friendly and knowledgeable. This made our trip flawless. the Bed and Breakfasts and hotels were top notch and the food was excellent. This is definitely the way to go. Sit back in comfort and let someone else do the driving. Well worth the added expense. Many of our passes into attractions were also included. Wish we would have had more time. Fabulous trip and I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

Our family booked My Ireland Tour for a siblings trip in the beginning of May. We were beyond thrilled with everything about the tour. The hotels were top notch and our tour guide Ger Murphy was the BEST! We all learned so much about our Irish Heritage and at the same time enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and insightful commentary of Ger. He always recommended the best restaurants for us each evening and also the most fun pubs to visit. I would recommend this tour company to anyone who is planning a visit to Ireland.

We recently completed a wonderful private tour with My Ireland Tour and can't say enough how easily it was to do so. Everything went so smoothly for our group, especially in light of some unique nuances that we had with our plans. Our tour guide/driver, Tom Lavin, was simply THE BEST! He was so friendly, informative, and passionate for his home country made our trip one of the best that we have ever taken! We have returned home with wonderful memories and stories to share with others so they can come and enjoy the beauty and wonders of Ireland too.

30 April 2018 • 11 Day Iconic Scenes
My wife and I just completed our 10 - day Iconic tour of Ireland and we had the privilege of having Tony as our driver. What can I say but fantastic things about this tour, other than it was too short. In the planning stages, I was evaluating, CIE and Insight, and one night I accidently stumbled on this company while reading reviews on the web. From the beginning, the hotels, were far nicer ,for the value), the tour locations included passes ,not just a jump on, jump off, bus ticket), to every location, and our driver / guide and now friend, went out of his way time and time again to ensure we had a fantastic visit. With Tony taking care of the group, and I mean taking care of the group, he was there 24/7, breakfast and dinner, he was always waiting at the table, porting our bags, even, special reservations for shows ensuring we were all seated and taken care at every venue, to his personally handing out room keys at each of the different hotels, nothing, and I mean nothing was missed by his view in pampering us with care, with his white-glove treatment. With respect to the locations, grant it, there were locations that were part of the standard tour, but he always added a twist to the locations with information and tidbits that just were not part of the everyday Irish tour, not to mention, there was so many other locations that were not normally included; a stop in Cong for the Quiet Man locales, a visit to Sean's bar in Athlone, there was just too many to speak of, and each time it was Tony going out of his way to ensure we were enjoying our trip and taken care of. For the money, the luxury, the value, the locations, and just plain pampering we received, I would suggest, and whole heartedly recommend this company to family and friends and we will visit again, and you can bet, it will be with My Ireland Tour.

16 April 2018 • 15 Day Iconic Scenes
My husband and I traveled with My Ireland Tour company for the . 15 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour. beginning March 28. I researched many different companies before choosing My Ireland Tour and it was indeed an excellent choice. The breadth and pacing of the tour was superior. We felt that the schedule gave us a very good idea of the history of yesterday and life today in Ireland. Tony, our guide in the North ,5 days), is incredibly knowledgable about the Troubles. Tony went beyond his duties as guide/driver and thoughtfully made sure that each guest was comfortable and met as many of the requests that he could, i.e. making Easter services happen for several guests. Thanks so much Tony for that experience. The Southern tour ,10 days, was given by guide/driver Cathal. Cathal is a walking history book and made history come alive as we drove thru Ireland. Cathal has the patience of Job and always remained calm even on the Ring of Kerry as drivers continued down the road going the wrong direction. Tony and Cathal were both very concerned about our safety and our .happiness. as we experienced Ireland. Their names need to be added to that plaque of greatness! The tour gave us so many different experiences and it provided a great sampling of Irish culture and Irish life. Hotels were very satisfactory and accommodating and they were located within walking distance of major areas. The amount of time allotted to see the various sites was perfect and the free time scheduled was generous. Prior to our trip, I communicated several times with Martina who is professional and on top of her game. She made me feel comfortable about traveling to Ireland with this group. Thanks Martina! My husband and I highly recommend My Irish Tours for those who want to experience Ireland. You will fall in love with this country.

Just returned from the 10 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour. Had an exceptional time all the way round. We were there for Hurricane Ophelia which of course affected one day but we were in very good hands with Tom Lavin our guide, and My Ireland Tour handled things in a highly professional way. We felt our safety and needs were the priority. The new Mercedes bus was awesome. The hotels were lovely. We were very well fed to say the least. As a solo traveller it was perfect for me as our group was so friendly, fun and kind. I will likely take another tour with this company, as l know they are top notch. Thanks again Tom, Martina and my travel buddies.

I recently returned for both the Ireland tours. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. We had three different drivers, Tom, Tony, and Enda. All very special in their own way. Tom is so knowledgeable about his country. He made us see Ireland thru the eyes of the Irish, the history, current events, and the pride felt by the Irish in their country. It was a memorable and emotional experience. Tony had stories he shared with us and he SANG for us, a beautiful Irish voice. Enda took us to a special hidden waterfall. The hotels we stayed at ran the gamut from nice, to very special. Portmarnock is on the Irish Sea. Magical. I enjoyed the Randles Hotel in Killarney, it had an old world feel about it. I was lucky to get a room in the old part of the hotel, in front with a bay window and a window seat. The Dunboyne was another beautiful place. It is within very close walking distance, under 5 minutes, to a village with shops and restaurants. I did have a problem with the Clayton Hotel Bainbridge. It is a beautiful hotel, old world, beautiful stained glass windows. The placement of my room was completely unacceptable and the hotel was not interested in changing it. I spoke with Tom and he fixed it. The location of my changed room was perfect. Score Tom and My Ireland Tours! There tour included so many places, and the days are full. I left the tour while in Dublin to see some museums important to me. Tom made sure I knew where to find the bus when I was finished. The size of the bus vs the size of the tour allowed for personal comfort. As a solo traveler I did not want to be jammed in with strangers and this was not a problem. The tour itself exceeded my highest expectations. I feel the communication from the office could be improved. I was told I would have my tour information ten days before and received it only three days before I left for Ireland. This made me feel a little uneasy. They did arrange my arrival a day early with no problem. I hope this company expands into other places in the UK as I would tour with them happily.

21 October 2017 • Deluxe Castle Tour
My wife and I completed our ten day Ireland Deluxe Castle tour where we stayed in manor houses. The accommodations were for the most part very nice except for one stay where quarters were tight. The food was excellent and the people were as warm as can be. I can't say enough about the hospitality. Our group of 25 cared about each other which made the trip even more enjoyable. Our tour guide Edna was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about Ireland, the countryside and its history. I only wish we had time to stop for pixs of the sheep in pastures, esp. in Galway where pastures were bordered by old stone walls. Seeing sheep herding vs the visit to a park would have been nice as well. Only one bad day of weather but this is Ireland. Overall the temp. was fine and the trip was a great experience. I wish I lived where we had more sheep than people, more green land and a calmer way of life. Ireland is truly not a place to be missed and we would visit it again. Thank you for the memories.

My wife and I had a great trip for our first visit to Ireland, Sept 17 - 26. Even the weather held out for us on our 10 Day Iconic Tour. Our driver and guide , Brian O'Rourke , was very accommodating and very knowledgable I think he enjoyed being with us as much as we enjoyed his company. Would recommend this tour company and driver and we look forward to returning and enjoying another one of their tours!

A key part of our trip! I work with Krystal at My Ireland Tours for about 9 months prior to our trip. She helped my with everything from sights to see, hotels, restaurants...EVERYTHING. We traveled with a family of eight. All adults. I could go on and on about how fantastic this company is!! I welcome anyone to contact me with further questions. We had David as our driver. All of us felt very taken care of...he made sure we all knew where we were going, offer suggestions, and changes to our itinerary. He felt like part of our family by the end of the trip. From start to finish they help to provide us a very memorable trip!!

We had a 9 day 8 night tour planned and one day trip as well.. Working with Kristel was great. She gave us a rough draft after we told her what we were looking for. Then was great about tweaking it with our requests. When ended up with a filled but not rushed tour. We Had heard about how awesome Tony was and requested him as our guide. We did get him and were not disappointed. His excellent knowledge, personality, humor, and patience was amazing. The trip was planned way in advance and seemed to take forever to arrive. We it was finally time were pleased that everything went as smoothly with the tour as we had hoped. Tony handled everything and even went above and beyond with helping with lost luggage for one of our members. His suggestions along the way were always spot on. Can't wait to get back to Ireland! We will definitely be suing My Ireland Tours again.

My husband and I spent our 1 year anniversary on the 10 day Iconic tour...it was truly amazing! Every stop was full of great food, good company and rich history. Our guide Tom knows the country and the people so well, he brought us to great pubs we wouldve probably overlooked on our own and added a few extra sites on our tour that we would not have thought of, like a demonstration with a sheep herder and his dogs and the Celtric Crystal shop. I learned so much about the country, it's people and the current events from Tom's narratives on the bus rides and the guides at the tour sites. It was an excellent experience, worth every penny, and when we plan to visit Ireland again, we will be using My Ireland Tours to guide us once more!

We would like to thank Tom our main driver again. He is an awesome person and a wealth of knowledge, which made our trip totally fantastic! We would also like to thank Enda and Tony. They were the two drivers who covered for Tom on his days off. They too were awesome and brought their own personal Flair to the days that they were with us. Tony serenaded us with some wonderful Irish Tunes and Enda kept us quite entertained with his upbeat outgoing personality. Radomir and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to go to Ireland. By the way you will be able to tell by the pictures sent to your company that we quickly went from a couple on vacation to a group of friends on vacation. Thank you to all sharing this trip with us.

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 started planning a family tour of Ireland in September of 2016, and worked with My Ireland Tour to customize a tour that fit our needs. We included a visit to the .family. farm, and the Irish cousins. They were not only able to accommodate all of our sites we wanted to see, but they added additional ones on our itinerary, and even on a daily basis they added more things to enhance our experience. We had 17 people from ages of early 30s to near 80, and everyone had a fantastic experience. Our tour guide and driver was so exceptional, Brian, that we all felt like he was part of our family at the end of the trip and did not want to leave him! It will be a trip we will long remember and made special because we could customize it to fit our needs. I highly recommend this company.

Windy, cold, wet, and well worth it! It's Ireland doncha know! Excellent bus tour with wonderful guide/driver Kieran Mangan. We had a superb time on our Essential Ireland Tour! We really liked the hub-and-spoke structure, where we spent two or three nights in a single hotel and did day trips outward -- this saved a lot of time and the odious pack-and-vacate process. The sites we visited and Kieran's extensive knowledge of and love for his country were super; so too was his even-handed, positive way of explaining contentious issues such as .The Troubles. and the Rebellion. Outstanding Experience! I highly recommend this outfit!

I just came off the 5-star Castle Tour and it was incredible! It more than met my expectations it far exceeded them. The castles were spectacular and everyone we met along the way were wonderful. Our tour guide, Brian O'Rourke was exceptional! He kept us on track and on schedule and was just genuinely wonderful to work with. I loved that he was with us for the entire trip and enjoyed getting to know him while at breakfast and during dinner. He was insightful and incredibly helpful.

just returned from the Castles and back Roads Tour - it was amazing! This was my first .group tour. as well as my first trip to Ireland - a trip I have long desired to take with ancestry on my mother's side. I am so glad I chose My Ireland Tours - I can say nothing more but WOW - the accommodations were above expectations and the scenery was spectacular and the agenda was so easy-going yet provided ample time for each of the unique sites. Also I have to say our guide Harry was so much fun - full of history(which I was craving, but also funny with his unique sense of presenting a .fact. that would soon turn out not to be a fact ,albeit some groaners LOL). Seriously he was a great guide with a wonderful sense of humor. I can't wait to return to Ireland and am considering the Northern Belfast tour with My Ireland tours next - wouldn't even consider going with anyone else.

I recently experienced the most amazing trip to Ireland with my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren ,ages 10 & 8). I was a bit nervous knowing there would be no other kids on the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour, but our amazing group ,we are all in touch!, and our fantastic driver/guide, Tom Lavin, quickly put my fears to rest! I cannot say enough about Tom's professionalism, his knowledge and passion for his homeland, his wit and charm, and his ability to meet the needs of every one of the 25 members in our group. We truly appreciated how he helped to find the Connemara Pony Show for my granddaughter in Clifden. The overall trip was magnificent and will always be one of my favorite vacations of all time.

The second week of August we did the Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour. My wife and I booked this with two other couples, we were not sure what to expect. The trip by far was above and beyond our expectations. We enjoyed every minute of the trip. Our guide and driver Tom made the trip as wonderful as it was, he made our trip an adventure more than just a sight seeing trip.Our whole group of 25 people were magnificent, everyone got along and became friends. Ireland is a beautiful country and we thank My Ireland Tours for making it happen!

We wanted to do a 10 day family trip to Ireland in 2017 for 3 generations of 10 adults using our itinerary with a private driver. After much research we chose My Ireland Tour with Eric O' Gorman as our primary contact in Ireland. We gave him our initial itinerary and hotel suggestions, and after many emails back and forth over several months, we finalized our itinerary and chose My Ireland Tour to provide the logistics and transportation ,bus and driver). Eric was extremely helpful in suggesting additions to our itinerary, booking the hotels, and developing a workable driving schedule. Our driver, Patrick Buckley, was a superb guide, and with his vast knowledge, fit in several extra stops of interesting sights not even in the guide books. He was very friendly and engaging in telling us about Ireland, plus wanting to hear about the USA and our lives and opinions. Because most of us are of Irish heritage he spent extra time talking about the area our ancestors came from and playing all kinds of Irish music for our pleasure on the bus. It was an outstanding tour, but unfortunately we were disappointed that our vehicle was too large to drive over the Connor Pass. Nevertheless. all of us were extremely happy with our private tour, which was reasonably priced, and highly recommend working with My Ireland Tour for your private tour of Ireland.

We took the deluxe Ireland tour. The places that we stayed were fantastic. The food was terrific. Every stop was enjoyable. There is so much to see and never enough time. The pace is fast but not rushed. There is a lot of walking. It is helpful to be in moderate shape. Some of the areas are very hilly. We had a great group of people on the tour. Everyone got along and we enjoyed each others company.

Fantastic experience! My husband and I went on the 10-day Deluxe Castle tour in mid-July and it was perfect. Our main concern was what the group dynamic would be - a bunch of strangers together on a bus for 9 days?? It ended up being great! Our entire group was 12 people; many of them told us of previous tours they had gone on with other popular companies where they were part of 50+ people, so there were two buses full of tourists getting on and off the bus at every site; sounds like mayhem and pretty impersonal. All of us were from the US, of all walks of life, with all different interests and experiences, but we were all eager to explore and see everything we could while in Ireland. We all had two seats to ourselves on the bus, so we could spread out as we pleased. It also allowed us to eat most breakfasts and dinners together which was a great bonding time.

A couple of weeks ago I got back from a family trip with My Ireland Tour. With the help of Kristel, we planned an itinerary that included visiting with family in Clonakilty in Cork, exploring areas where my mother's grandparents were born, as well as spending time Dublin, Killarney, and Westport ,great choice!). The trip was amazing in every way, the itinerary perfect. There were 27 of us ,3 generations, and everybody had a wonderful time. Our driver, Enda, was a big part of the success of the trip. Along with making us feel very safe with his driving, he was warm, accommodating, patient and took care of all of the details. He also made the impossible happen in the Rower when he found a ,kind and generous!, man in town who led us to a small side road where my mother and Aunts were able to meet a relative that they had never met and talk with her about all of their connections! It was beautiful. Another highlight was when we told Enda we wanted to go swimming on Achill island, and ,even though I think he thought we were a little crazy, he brought us to the most spectacular beach ,on Keem Bay, - despite the fact that it was not easy to get to. It was warm and sunny on the beach and we were all there together, with many of us swimming in the waves. It was a joy. We wanted it to be a trip of a lifetime - with three generations together - and that's what it was. Thank you to Kristel and to Enda for all that they did. I recommend My Ireland Tour without reservation.

My husband and I just got back from the 10 Day Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour, we had a GREAT Time.There were 24 in our tour and we all got along great. Tony Mc' Goey was our tour guide and let me tell you he was the BEST, he was funny, knowledgeable, attentive and went way beyond what was expected of him. Ireland has been on my to do list for years and we finally did it and so happy we did. Talking to Kristel was great, she always got back to me if I had a question, we went for my Birthday so it really meant a lot to me. Every day we were on the bus listening to Tony and seeing wonderful things, I would tell anyone that asked give Eric and Kristel a call and BOOK, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY, only thing I regret is that I did not do the north also since I was already there but we can always go back.

My family & I recently had the trip of a lifetime by traveling together in honor of my father, Joe Cobb in Ireland My Ireland Tour was the most amazing company to work with & I highly recommend their service. Kristel was our agent from start to finish & Patrick, our driver/guide, became part of our family!� We traveled with 4 kids age range from 7-13, & 6 adults age range of 39-75. Kristel & Patrick tailor-made our trip to suite all of needs. The hotels were all 5-stars & the Glasha Farm House was incredible. The trip was bittersweet & I believe we all left a piece of our hearts there. Thank you My Ireland Tour!!!

Absolutely fabulous tour. So glad I found your company. The 10 day Iconic tour was the perfect introduction to Ireland. The countryside was beautiful and the attractions were spectacular. Our driver, Brian, was a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. The accommodations were lovely and the weather was great. I went with my daughter and was worried she would be the youngest; however, there was a great mix of people and even another mother/daughter pair! We were a .family. by the end of the trip. Can't wait to go back. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

The pictures do not lie. Ireland was absolutely beautiful and green and we had lots of sunny days. The trip was well organized to tour the highlights and our bus driver, Brian Rawlings provided much added commentary that really made the trip. The hotels were very nice. Having at least two nights in each was a lifesaver in terms of packing and unpacking. The food was authentic, plentiful and of great quality, though I was sorry we didn't get to sample the shellfish. I love scenery and history and we got plenty of both. I also enjoyed the insights Brian gave on Briexit and other political topics. Two in our party of four got bad colds and one in our party had to use a walker. Brian was so attentive and helpful to all of us. I would definitely recommend your tours for anyone wanting to see a lot of Ireland in a short time.

What a fabulous 7 day Ancient Ireland Mini-Group Tour, made even better by our tour guide, Harry Fisher. He was so knowledgeable, fun, interesting - he engaged with our group of 7 so well - a true Irish gentleman we had the pleasure to spend this week with. Everything on this tour was top notch - the accommodations ,a castle, 2 hotels and a .farmhouse., were fabulous, the coach with our own individual seats was extremely comfortable and provided great viewing windows, the itinerary was busy enough yet relaxing, and the tours fun and interesting. Would definitely use My Ireland Tours again and hopefully have Harry Fisher again as our guide!

My wife Lynn Riley and I ,along with 2 friends, just returned for a wonderful 26 days in Ireland, built around the My Ireland Tour North and South Iconic Scenes of Ireland 15 day tour. I researched many companies before selecting this tour and was not disappointed. Both pieces of our tour had only about 22 people, not 35 or 40 like the others. Our driver/guide Tom Lavin was top notch..HATS OFF TO YOU TOM !!!!!! I recommend this tour to anyone ,especially my friends, who want to see the 'high spots' of Ireland. Kristel in the office was very easy to work with booking the tour and answering questions.

Tom Lavin is awesome! What a great tour! We did the Essential Ireland tour and Tom gave us so much history and his love for Ireland is contagious. We loved every minute of it and our hotel rooms were just right. Can't say what my favorite part was because all of it was wonderful but have to admit the Jameson experience was my favorite but only because I'm a whiskey drinker :, My husband recommends the Hop House 13 and found it a photographer's paradise. Our son loved all of the trip and looks forward to going back. We were fortunate to have such an awesome group of people on our tour and Tom blended right in. We will definitely recommend this tour and look forward to another tour of Ireland!

I would recommend the Deluxe Castle Tour that my wife and I took. We were looking for an adventure that was elegant, engaging, & which hit a majority of the main attractions that were on our bucket list. This tour provided that and more. You will stay in luxurious destinations, have ample free time to explore at your own pace, and be chauffeured across the Emerald Isle by a knowledgeable and delightful guide. If your dates are flexible, make sure you schedule your tour with their top guide: Tony McGoey.

We just returned from the 15 day Iconic Scenes of Ireland - North & South tour. Can't say enough wonderful things about Tom Lavin, our driver/guide. He went above and beyond to make sure all 22 of his passengers had the most memorable experience ever. He gave us an historical background of Ireland and all the places we visited with his unique style and sense of humor. Unfortunately, my husband was unwell during much of our tour but Tom made sure that he knew where he could wait for the group with a nice cup of tea if he didn't feel up to the walking.

My with wife Sandy and I thoroughly enjoyed the My Ireland Tour. Our accommodations at the various hotels were super. Our planned meals were great and there was plenty of delicious food. I personally gained five pounds. Ireland at this time of year was truly magnificent. The views were spectacular. We came away with some awesome pictures and memories. We made new friends and it turned out that two of them ,Ken & Paulette, live about 2 miles of us! What were the odds of that? The must notable thing I took away from the trip was our tour guide Tony. Tony, you made this trip for us. You are truly a great person with a heart of gold! You turned our tour bus into your personal karaoki machine. Your knowledge, and stories about Ireland were just great, although there was a lot of sad history. The people of Ireland were super. So polite. I would still consider retiring there regardless of the issues with your politicians, health care and tax structure. In America, we have our own problems. We would highly recommend your tour to others and Kristel made booking our accommodations easy. Love it, Love it, Love it.

I can't believe I am now just reviewing...but we had the most amazing trip in October. Everything was just perfect from start to finish! Throughout the planning process, My Ireland Tour ,Eric specifically!, created and recreated multiple itineraries so that every member of our group was accommodated. Our driver guide, Ger, was the most interesting fella ever, he had so much history and stories to share with us. He was a pleasure to spend time with, even .after hours. at the pub. We received multiple quotes for similar tours and My Ireland Tour was very affordable and offered superior, personalized service in my opinion. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone planning a trip to Ireland in the future. So glad I trusted my gut on this one!

Amazing...as you can tell by all the reviews. I was a little reluctant to do a bus tour but so glad I happened to book it with My Ireland Tour. First and foremost Tony made everyone feel safe and comfortable. He definitely has a way with people that adds joy to the experience. One aspect I was not anticipating but enjoyed was hearing the history of Ireland and its people. All of the historical sites were interesting and beautiful to see. There is plenty of food to be had, opportunities to meet local people, purchase that sweater , hear traditional Irish music and experience pub life. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together.

I had the BEST time on this tour. I've wanted to go to Ireland for many years and finally decided to just go for it! My Ireland Tour was the perfect vehicle for seeing the place for the first time. Our tour guide, Tony, was entirely fun and informative. He sings and gives the most amazing facts about where you are and what you're seeing. I'd definitely use this tour company again, in fact, I'd take this tour again!

We recently took the Iconic Scenes tour and have nothing but praise for this tour company. It was the first tour I've taken and would not think of seeing Ireland any other way. Our guide Tony was so attentive, knowledgeable and funny. I traveled with my mother and sister and were accommodated very well in each hotel to comfortably share one room. The tour was run very smoothly and not too rushed. We feel we had a very good taste of Ireland and highly recommend this 10-day tour!

Kristel and the team at My Ireland Tour did a wonderful job of putting together a great trip through Ireland for us. We were a group of four that wanted a relaxing vacation with spectacular accommodations and wonderful food. That is exactly what we received. Our driver, Pat, was a perfect addition to the tour. He added expertise and stories that made our time in Ireland very special. We only had time to explore the southern coast of Ireland and will definitely contact My Ireland Tour again when we are ready to return to see the northern part of Ireland. Kristel is responsive to all questions. Her promptness in reply with a comprehensive plan was the reason we chose My Ireland Tour and she followed through from start to finish.

I cannot say enough about My Ireland Tours! Kristel was a joy to work with and she never failed to answer even my most basic questions. Complete professionalism from start to finish. From the itinerary to our drivers, Pat and Charlie, hotels, vehicle, site visits, and the overall welcoming we received, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I look forward to using MIT again in the future and no one else. The specific knowledge that the staff at MIT and our drivers hadto share with us helped us learn so much. Pat even helped us to arrange a 21st birthday dinner celebration for my niece and family by booking a dinner reservation for us at a restaurant he recommended. He also arranged for a dessert with candle surprise at the end of our meal. Pat never steered us wrong and went out of his way every day. Thank you to all who made our vacation a dream come true!

15 September 2016 • Deluxe Castle Tour
I just returned from the Deluxe Castles tour, with Tom Lavin as our driver and guide. The tour far exceeded my hopes and expectations. The castle hotels -- particularly Lough Eske and Ballynahinch -- were exquisitely appointed, and straight out of a Masterpiece Theatre setting. Exclamations of .I feel like I've just arrived at Downton Abbey!. were heard throughout the bus as we drove up and were greeted by the staff waiting for us outside of Lough Eske Castle Hotel. But, while the settings were beautiful, and the meals delicious, the full focus should be on what we learned and experienced under the tutelage and guidance of our escort, Tom. He revealed the .real Ireland. of today to us, step-by-step, and story-by-story. Tom is a man who loves his country and his people, and this comes through every word and gesture. We didn't just learn .about. Ireland, but .lived. it through Tom's eyes. While I thought I knew a great deal about the land of my ancestors, I had so much more to learn! Each destination was a new discovery, with the beauty I had expected, but also with the added dimension of meaning and context for the story of Ireland and it's people. The tour is carefully organized; nothing is repetitive, but every day is very full. We had an outstanding group of people on the tour, and made friends easily with one another. The small group size was a great advantage. I cannot praise the experience too highly, and especially give thanks and praise to Tom, who goes the extra mile for every individual. Kristel, who handled all of the arrangements, is warm, generous, and wonderful! Thank you, thank you, My Ireland Tour, for an experience of a lifetime!

We just returned from a 10 day trip through Ireland which now ranks as one of our top trips. Our itinerary was customized to accommodate the golfers and the shoppers in our foursome.

We took the Iconic Scenes of Ireland tour July 4-13 and our driver was Tony McGoey. Tony made this trip so amazing by visiting little sights and villages in addition to a great itinerary planned. The hotels were comfortable ,despite a construction zone in one but not their fault, and we really enjoyed the farmhouse B&B that we stopped in for lunch and also the time we had at each spot was just right. It was our first bus tour and I am glad we chose this for Ireland, because we saw so much more than touring on our own. Many many thanks for a wonderful visit, with many memories made and 1000+ pictures for the books!! Thank you!!!

My husband and I went on the Deluxe Irish Castle tour last month. We absolutely loved it! When we first began planning a trip to Ireland, we took our time researching different tours online. We kept coming back to the tours from My Ireland Tour and are very pleased with our experience with them. Right from the beginning, Kristel was great to work with in booking the trip. She answered any and every question and was always quick in responding to emails. In Ireland, we were picked up at the airport by our guide Tony, which really helped make the trip hassle free. Not all places offer airport pick up and drop off. The trip itself offered a wonderful variety of places to visit all through out Ireland. Our guide Tony was the absolute nicest and really made the trip enjoyable. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and was always helpful. Another aspect my husband and I really liked about this specific tour is the free time you get at some of the locations we stopped at. It's a nice way to head out for something to eat or do some casual shopping on our own. This was also my first time taking a tour with a group of people and the conversations on the bus ride and at dinner was always fun and entertaining. Every aspect of the trip was wonderful. I have already been recommending My Ireland Tour to others.

We just returned from our Iconic Scenes of Ireland Tour. I can't express how much our entire group enjoy the trip. We saw so many beautiful sites not only from the itinerary but other places along the drive. We learned so much from our wonderful driver/guide Tony McGoey. He was so informative from the everyday life in his country to the historic, plus he sings! What a treat for us. Everything about this trip went like clock work from the time we stepped of the plane in Dublin to the day we left. Thank you so much My Ireland Tour for making this the best tour we have ever been on.

I found My Ireland Tour on a fluke as I was trying to compare tour prices with other tour companies. We received a better deal going with a private tour compared to buses filled with 30+ strangers. Make you sure you do your homework and check with My Ireland Tour so you have all of the best options! You will not regret it! We sure didn't! We had a family of 4 and the private van tour was the BEST decision. I don't think we will travel to Ireland again any other way.

Just finished the Iconic Ireland tour. It was fantasticand I can totally recommend them to anyone. The small size of the group is much more manageable than the big tours with 50 people. Our hotels were all lovely. Most importantly, our guide, Tom was the perfect blend of knowledge, humour, patience and diplomacy. Tom gave us an insight into the Irish people, their history, and their everyday life now.

We have just returned from our customized 12-day tour of Ireland for our family of 5. We worked with Eric O'Gorman and his company and couldn't have been happier. The trip was kind of a last minute decision and after contacting Eric, he worked with us tirelessly and patiently to prepare an itinerary that incorporated our wishes as well as giving us advice and suggestions. I don't know how he did it, but within a week or two he had our trip in place including our awesome accommodations! Our driver/guide, Pat, was delightful. He was an excellent driver, knowledgeable about the country, answered hundreds of questions, had a great sense of humor and immensely helpful. He was like our own personal shepherd - making sure we knew where we were going, getting us to our next destination on time, suggesting restaurants, etc., etc.

We were very fortunate to locate Eric and his Tour Company. This was our first trip abroad as well as our first trip to Ireland in June 2015. Eric was extremely patient as he asked us what our goals were in Ireland and then developed an itinerary, which included our driver ,due to some health issues, we wanted to have our own driver/guide), our accommodations in a variety of settings, including bed and breakfasts and a castle. All our breakfasts were included and admissions if required were also included. Eric worked tirelessly while we worked and reworked our itinerary. We had ten leisurely days to spend with our driver and guide, Gerard, exploring this lovely country, which turned into a mystical adventure experiencing so many tastes, smells, sounds and beautiful sights of Ireland as well as meeting the wonderful people of Ireland. Ger was also a magnificent historian with a wonderful sense of humor and could rework our itinerary at a moments notice. Eric even included our accommodations and breakfasts for when we arrived in Dublin and the days before we left Ireland. It allowed for some down time and time where we could explore Dublin. We have so much gratitude toward Eric and his staff for this trip of a lifetime. Do not hesitate for a moment to place your next vacation to Ireland in his very capable hands.

Our trip was an absolute joy. We had the pleasure of meeting and bonding with an incredible group of fellow travelers. Our Discover Ireland Tour was everything we could have imagined and more. We feel so fortunate to have been on this particular tour, with such a fun group of people and to have had the great pleasure of being led by our wonderful tour guide,Tom! He made the trip so much more than just a bus ride through the countryside of Ireland. He was knowledgeableabout Irish history, past and present, very accommodating, answered all our questions, was happy to arrange activities the group wanted to attend, and put up with all of us for 10 days! I cannot recommend My Ireland Tour Travel Agency highly enough. This was a first class, marvelous vacation. Thank you for making our trip such an easy, pleasurable, memorable event. Ireland is a very beautiful country with the friendliest people in the world. Loved every minute spent there.

My husband, Frank, and I just got back for our tour in Ireland. Our guide/bus driver, Brian O'Rourke, was the most knowledgeable, helpful, kind, considerate, funny person ever! He went out of his way to make sure that everyone was taken care of, and if someone had a need, like a new charger for their phones, he tried to track one down! We saw many sites that, if we'd tried to do the tour ourselves, would have missed! It was an incredible lifetime experience! I'd love to come again, with the whole family!! You couldn't find a better company to do your trip with!

We spend an enormous amount of time planning this, our first trip to Ireland. We decided on October for cooler, milder temperatures and a slower time of year for tourism. We also wanted to take advantage of the Castle Tour package. The staff at My Ireland Tour were extremely helpful and responsive with our many planning questions right down to the clothing we should bring. We were kept busy during our ten days in Ireland, but not too busy that we couldn't stop and smell the roses and enjoy ourselves. Our tour guide, Tony McGoey was very knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trip memorable for the entire group, which consisted of 26 adults. There was definitely something for everyone and the food was great. I highly recommend this company for your Ireland travels.

I wanted to leave a note about our customized tour arranged by Eric O'Gorman with My Ireland Tours. My sister & I spent many weeks working with Eric to develop a tour for our small group of 6 people. Eric was extremely accommodating, answering all of our questions and offering his expertise into everything Ireland. He was also more than happy to work with each individual's special arrangements.

When our group planned our trip, we thought that we had done a pretty good job of defining the route and ,with the help of the folks form Discover Ireland/My Ireland Tour, identifying places to stay. To a degree, we wanted to take the road less traveled.
