What a fantastic tour we had with My Ireland Tour company! Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland should be on your next to-do travel list with this team. Our small group of 26 was a perfect size; plus travelling in a large coach provided lots of empty seats to choose from. All seven hotels that we stayed in, five were two-nighters, had excellent food and amenities. Weather was warm and sunny for the most part so not all rain like you may have heard. Our awesome driver/guide, Harry Fisher, shared many stories that led us through the island's history, past and present. With his sense of humour, attention to detail, plus a couple of surprises stops that he included during the tour, he made this special trip a very memorable one for my husband and I. Keith in the office was quick answering all our emails and questions and even arranged surprises with the hotels to help us celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! All in all, a wonderful team to take with you when you travel! Slainté

The nine day castle tour of Ireland for four of us was full of history, magnificent places to stay, time for walks in beautiful country, and friendly approachable people. The planning was exact, the communication with Catriona timely and always pleasant. Brian, our guide, was a gem. Two of us came down with covid, but with Brian's guidance, we were able to work around this obstacle. I would recommend 'My Ireland Tour' without hesitation.

Many thanks to Kristel for arranging a wonderful family vacation tour of Ireland for our group. We provided a desired itinerary and Kristel was able to make it work. I think I speak for the group when I say we had a wonderful time! There were 10 of us, and we spent 10 days in Ireland. All the hotels were outstanding, and our driver/guide Lorraine was such a pleasure to work with. She was able to meet our diverse requests with no problems at all, and was always pleasant and accommodating (even in the midst of some pretty hectic traffic!) . Some of our tour are still travelling, but I wanted to send this to you to thank you for enabling us to make lifelong memories.

The 7-day My Ireland Tour left me with very pleasant memories of the people we met, the places we visited, the food we ate and the beauty of Ireland. Our driver/guide, Colm Clarke, did not disappoint for a moment. I recommend My Ireland Tours and will use then again when I return. And I shall return.

We joined with a couple of friends for a 10-day bus tour in Ireland August 20-30, 2023. We were picked up at the airport in Dublin and taken to our first hotel. We had a wonderful trip. Our guide and bus driver was Toney McCoy. He is a terrific guide and very knowledgeable in the Irish history. We learned a lot from him. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he can also tell fun stories and sing. I only wish he could write down some of his stories and fun telling jokes to publish. Our tour went counter clockwise of the southern part of Ireland. We saw Clonmacnoise a fascinating historical site, we stopped by a local chocolate factory at Hazel mountain, and later a local crystal factory, Kylemore Abby in Connemara, and Dunguaire castle in Kinvarra. Our trip continued around the beautiful landscape of the Burren, Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry. We had a stop at the Blind piper pub for a delicious lunch. On our way we also tasted Jameson Whisky and later on Guinness in Dublin. We enjoyed a traditional farm house lunch that was excellent. We had an opportunity to visit Red Fox pub for the best Irish coffee. Our tour also took us to the Blarney Castle and we stopped to shop at the Blarney Wolleen Mills. We had a very short stop in Kinsale of 1 1/2 hour. I would have liked to have at least 3 hours here. It is very small town but a lot to see and do. Before returning to Dublin we visited an Irish National Stud stable, and in Dublin the Irish emigration museum which was excellent. We also made a visit to the Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin which dates back 1000 years. On our last night with the tour we enjoyed and evening at the Merry Ploughboy Pub for entertainment with song and dance and a excellent meal. When our tour ended we had two additional nights before returning home so we could also get to see the Book of Kells and have some more time to enjoy Dublin.

We were a party of 3 for the Iconic Ireland Tour, a senior couple and our teenage grandson to celebrate his school graduation. We unanimously agreed that the trip was a great experience for all of us. We had chosen My Ireland Tour company for this trip because of it being a family-run business out of County Cork, and due to their excellent on-line reviews. This trip did not disappoint and was everything that was advertised. From the Welcome and the timely pick-up at the airport, to the day of drop off for return home, we were impressed. They trully warrant a 5-Star rating. The selection of sites we viewed and/or visited were a good mix of urban and rural spots, with appropriate breaks from riding to walking/sight-seeing. Food options, as part of the tour or on our own, were excellent. The accommodations were consistently comfortable, with well-organized check-in. Room keys for the two rooms that we had booked were already assigned and immediately available upon arrival, making it efficient and easy to settle into our respective rooms. Baggage handling was timely and seamlessly handled by the hotel staff. What makes or breaks any tour, however, is the capacity and professionalism of the tour guide and driver. All 26 of us on the tour appreciated our Tour Guide, Tony McGoey. He was knowledgeable. He was funny. He shared his love of his beautiful country, and its music, with us. Tony was a good host. He was very personable and hospitable, making us feel that we were his guests and his good friends. For us, Tony's extensive knowledge of Irish history was so important to the whole tour. We came away with a much better understanding of Ireland, its people and their history. Not in a lecture, but in insightful learning. Thank you, Tony!

My little experience as a participant in organized tours (since 1964, three hours to reach Athens from TLV by a constellation type airplane) and 24 years of serving as a guide give me a good basis to judge a tour. The too short My Ireland Tour was a complete success.The personal treatment given before it began by Shannon was of excellent augur. My wife, Christine and me experience a marvelous trip guided and driven by the most affectionate and multifaceted Ben Sulivan. The itinerary was perfect,the two days in Dublin revived memories of James Joyce classic read for the first time in Hebrew) the small group was sympathetic ,what else we can wish except less rains ,but this this is the charm of the land of the the clover (botanic Trifollium)........ THODA RABA (in Hebrew lot of thanks). Christine & Eitan,Tel Aviv, Israel who will drink a good whiskey single malt for your sake !

Our experience with My Ireland Tours was phenomenal. Our entire tour was curated to our personal interests and needs, and our driver-guide Patrick was genuine, kind, and knowledgeable. By the time our ten days were up, we felt we were leaving old friends behind. We will definitely be back to visit beautiful Ireland with this company again. A special Thank You to Catriona and Patrick.

We have used My Ireland for two tours now, our most recent one just wrapped up and we could not be happier with the tour. The locations were amazing, and the accommodations were stunning. We don't want to take anything away from our past tour guide Tony (whom we just adore.) Brian was incredible, he manages to balance schedules, individual needs and crack dad jokes for 10 days effortlessly. Thank you so much Brian, you made the trip that much better. If you are considering touring Ireland, you cannot go wrong with My Ireland Tours

This was our second tour with MyIrelandTours and we are so incredibly happy we went. Everything was amazing, our tour guide, Brian, was an absolute gem and made the tour so special for us. We love this country and love learning about its rich history and wonderful people. Can't wait to go back again

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical taking a group tour on a bus. I am beyond impressed with our trip! Our Guide Harry was outstanding! He went above and beyond to make our tour comfortable, fun, informative and personal. Ireland is breathtaking and hands down one of the friendliest countries I've visited. I highly recommended MyIreland tours! We will definitely be back!

September 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
What a wonderful experience we had in Ireland. Ireland was not originally on our 'Must See' list and boy were were WRONG!!! Our tour guide, driver, and all around amazing man, Harry made our tour complete unforgettable. He was funny, informative and very, very knowledgeable about all the various locations. The other thing that made the tour a complete pleasure was the booking and contact with Shauni and the rest of the team prior to our actual tour. They answered questions and made the booking process stress free! We will definitely be looking into other tours with My Ireland Tour!!!

My 14 day My Ireland tour was absolutely the best tour I have been on. It was well planned and well executed by our wonderful driver/guide, Pat. He was so knowledgeable about everything, history, geography, particular sites etc. The sights were perfectly planned and the timing of everything was spot on. There were no long periods on the bus and Pat always let us know how long it would be before a break. I am so impressed with My Ireland Tours. Thank you so much.

This was the most memorable trip! I've never had a tour guide bring a City and Country to life like Michael Coleman. Excellent job, Michael! This trip was a celebration of 20 years of marriage, and it just so happened to include my birthday; I couldn't have asked for more. The accommodations and gourmet meals were beyond 5 stars. The tour bus was comfortable, clean, with plenty of leg room. I highly recommend using My Ireland Tours to anyone planning a trip to Ireland.

Susan Welsh
September 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
This was a Bucket-list trip for me, and it certainly exceeded my expectations. George, our tour guide was extremely informative, and he provided us with background information about the history of Ireland. We made several unscheduled stops, such as the sheep farm and beautiful areas for pictures. Also, George was attuned to the needs of the group, ensuring that he stopped at locations with facilities, and providing us opportunities for us to stretch our legs after NO LONGER than 2 hours sitting. I would highly recommend this trip. There was a lot of walking and steps, but for those not capable of walking or taking too many steps, there was still plenty of things to do and see!
Madison OConnell
September 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
I can't say enough good things about our tour. Harry (our bus driver/tour guide) was extremely attentive. On the last day we were supposed to see the Blarney Stone in the afternoon but he had done some investigating and found out a cruise ship was also going to be there around the same time. So he suggested we wake up early and go and I couldn't believe how getting up 30 mins earlier made such a difference!! We only waited 20 mins to kiss the stone but when we walked out the line was already passed the one hour mark. Harry was informative and always took the scenic route even when it wasn't convenient. I definitely recommend this company to anyone that wants to see Ireland.

Colum was our guide and he has the gift of gab! We learned Irish history, heard hilarious tales and music. The tour is comprehensive while being relaxed. No rush, just fun and education. The accommodations were wonderful, the meals excellent and often enough that a snack was all we needed between. Our group was bonded by rhe end. Colum is a very competent driver and was also calm and respectful of other drivers. I felt safe and cared for at all times. I would go anywhere with My Ireland Tour.

Just returned from our 10-Day My Ireland Tour. It was an adventure we will never forget. The scenery, the camaraderie among our fellow tour members, the food, the venues, and last but not least our awesome drive/guide Austin McCardle, who's passion for and knowledge of Irish history along with his humor enlivened and enlightened everywhere we visited. Thanks so much!

On behalf of Mary Beth and Myself, we wanted to share our experience with My Ireland Tours. Full disclosure, this is the second time we have used Eric and My Ireland Tours. Last time was 9 years ago. It was a 5 out of 5 then and it is a 5 out of 5 now. The planning, execution and price point are great. Our driver, Ben Sullivan, was the best. Prompt, courteous and full of knowledge about his home - Ireland. We learned so much. Thank you Ben and Thank you Eric. We will be back.

This was a wonderful trip! Austin, our tour guide/bus driver was so knowledgeable about Ireland and told great stories. The scenery was breath taking. We had full days but plenty of time to rest. There were lots of different places to visit.The only 'bad' thing I would say is that the food at the hotels wasn't that great.

My husband, myself and 2 best friends had THE best experience of Ireland in August on our tour, and our wonderful driver and guide Tony played a huge part in our experience.

We four Australians highly recommend My Ireland Tours, you will have a fabulous time exploring the beauty of the Emerald Isle.

Loved our first visit to Ireland, so much so, that we are now thinking of making another trip to Northern Ireland. Our guide, Joe Pigott, treated us like family and we had the most enjoyable 7 days with him. It was too short and we wanted more. It was full of laughter, banter, and fun. He is a skilled driver and best of guides. Ireland has so much to offer.....it is a hidden jewel.

My sister and three other friends enjoyed 10 full days of seeing and learning about Ireland. Harry Fisher was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about Ireland. Had a great sense humor and accomodated us with all our requests. 26 people was a nice number of people on the trip. We made some new friends and enjoyed everyones company at dinner time. All the accomodations were 5 stars (food and castle). Harry we appreciate everything you did for us. I would highly recommend this company.

We just returned home from the My Ireland 10 day epic tour. Epic it was indeed. You could tell that every place we went was carefully selected to give you a full feeling for the country. Our tour guide, Tony was awesome! He not only provided great and detailed information on each place we visited but all points in between. He was very well versed in Irish history and current Irish culture. As we toured the country side between scheduled locations he pointed out other things about the areas we passed through and often stopped for picture opportunities when the in between places were of particular interest, and I must say he was a pretty fair Irish tenor. Of the many wonderful places we saw one that particularly stands out was our lunch at a local farm where we met a wonderful Irish family and ate like locals. As an Irish American only one generation removed from Ireland I can say that all of the stops along the tour gave me a complete feeling about the country of my ancestry. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours if you are considering visiting Ireland.

September 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
We spent 2 weeks end of August with guide John McSweeney on a custom tour with just us 6. It was so so nice to be in the small bus, with the flexibility to stop when we needed a break. John knew where everything was along our route (i.e. bathrooms) and also everybody everywhere knew him, so we were greeted royally at every coffee or heritage spot. John's tour dialog was great... We learned so much more than from the guide books, and it was especially nice to be in a bus tall enough to see over the hedgerows and walls. We had driven a car on a previous trip and mostly saw a lot of wall and brush. Pickup and dropoffs were seamless and there was never any stress. I have no idea how John jockeyed that bus through all the traffic and narrow roads without a bump... always finding a parking place too. The restaurant and shopping recommendations were great. Accommodations were first class and very comfortable with good breakfasts. We took a couple of unstructured 'days off', without a tour, and MyIreland was fine with that too... Working with Eric to put all this together was responsive and understanding. Thanks to you all for the great vacation.

Our family of 6 (ages 10 to 78) took a tour through My Ireland Tour for 6 days and 5 nights. Keith was very responsive to all of our emails, and was able to arrange a private tour for us which accommodated all our needs and wishes. We were able to visit Galway, Killarney and Cork with some brief stops through smaller towns. Paddy was our driver/guide. He was knowledgeable about Ireland, and couldn't have been nicer. The hotels booked for us through My Ireland Tour were all very beautiful and luxurious. Some of the trip highlights were the Cliffs of Moher, Falconry Kerry, and the Killarney Jaunting Car Ride. We were glad to book with a family owned tour company based in Ireland, and would highly recommend them for a tour on your next trip to Ireland!

I can't say enough about My Ireland tours. We had an amazing trip. Beginning with the booking straight through to the end of our tour everything was flawless. Our tour guide George was great, he really cared about the tour and everyone on it. He went the extra mile to make sure everyone was happy and having a good time. We learned a lot about Irish history and culture. I loved that it was a small group only 21 people. The fact that it was a small group made tour stops less time consuming. The tour bus was large, clean and modern. The itinerary was great, the hotels were modern and clean. I would highly recommend this tour company.
Samantha Lack
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our 13 person group had the most incredible time on our My Ireland Tour. The accommodations, meals, and attractions were all superb and everyone in our group had the absolute best time. Colm, our tour guide, was fantastic and made our trip even more special. He took the time to get to connect with each person in our group and we could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you My Ireland Tour and Colm for making our trip such a memorable experience.
Barb Ogle
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our tour with My Ireland Tours was fabulous. I learned so much about the history of Ireland that I didn't know. I was in Ireland 25 years ago but only in the south and this encompasses all of Ireland. I was blessed to learn that an ancestor was the mayor of Cork in the 1920's. Michael Colman who was our tour operator was very knowledgeable about the history, had a great sense of humor, and was very patient with all of us. He made sure we were taken care of and I highly recommend him.
Margaret Bagley
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
LOVED the tour! Our guide, Austin was amazing! Whether he was maneuvering the coach through hard to navigate streets, twists and turns in the mountains, providing a wealth of knowledge about the town, land or buildings; this was a vacation of a lifetime! Will be booking a tour in the near future!
Robin Drechsel
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
The tour starts and ends with the bus driver/tour guide. And our guide was fantastic! His love of his country was shown every day. It helps that the countries we visited were so beautiful. The hotels were great. A night in a castle, staff standing at the entrance to greet us. (Unfortunate we only spent one night there.) Lucky to have such a great group on the tour also. Only real complaint would be being offered same basic meal options every night. Irish stew and fish and chips are good but, please, not every night for two weeks.
Kelly Benas
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our My Ireland Tour was amazing. The itinerary is well planned. We were able to see a variety of beautiful sites throughout the tour. The accommodations and food were great. We had the best tour guide, Tony. He was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. We heard a lot about Irelands history between sites. He recommended optional activities in the evenings. He arranged optional activities if anyone on the tour wanted to participate. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. He even sang for us a few times. I would absolutely book another tour through My Ireland and recommend it to others.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY IREALND TOUR 10/10. I was a solo traveler on the group tour and I was welcomed with open arms. Austin was the best driver, tour guide, and comedian. He had me laughing and learning all the way through Ireland. Accommodations exceeded my expectations. Ireland showed off in all her glory with more sunshine than rain- I consider that a huge win!

My Irish twin sister, and I did the 14 day Scotland/Ireland tour and had a great time! There was so little stress because everything was taken care of, and our guide Patrick was very informative.

This was a great tour with lots to see and experience. Michael was a great driver with a wealth of knowledge and a great way making the history of the area interesting! This tour was a terrific way of getting our feet wet (well the rain helped, haha) of getting around the country and making us feel comfortable in Ireland!!
Lauren Hudgeons
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
This was our first trip out of the country and I was nervous about it but My Ireland Tour was definitely the way to go. We took the castle tour and got to stay at beautiful places and eat three course meals almost every night. If we had booked the same lodging/activities/meals ourselves, it would easily have cost 5 times what we paid. Our tour guide made the drive between destinations entertaining and there were enough stops that I was never uncomfortable on the bus. I wish I could use My Ireland Tour to tour other countries!
Amet Peart
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
My Scotland/Ireland tour was the best! Paddy was very kind and caring. He shared a great deal of history with my group and answered our questions. Very humorous as well which made the trip fun. I would recommend Paddy for future tours. Great experience!

My Ireland Tour was so awesome to work with! Kristel was great at helping us plan a tour for our family (11 in all), understood our needs and wants, and answered all of our questions. We had a great 7-day tour, with Ben Sullivan as our driver/guide. Ben was super knowledgeable and was very understanding when we changed plans a bit to allow the children to have some off-bus time. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour if you are planning a trip to Ireland.

We had a fantastic time, John McSweeney was the absolute best driver/guide we could have hoped for. He went over and above what he needed to do , he wanted to give us all the best trip possible and he accomplished it. Our first trip to Ireland and it will not be our last. We want to continue exploring Europe and My Ireland tour will be our go to company. Thank you John and My Ireland tour for a great time.

Our 10 day tour in Ireland was a wonderful experience! My family and I had a great time! Tom was a great tour guide. He shared with us lot's of interesting information about the places we visited and also about Ireland history and current situation. The hotels were all very comfortable. We would only suggest that there should be more options for the dinner menus. Other than that, we highly recommend My Ireland Tour!
Nick Nikzat
August 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
My wife (Sherry) and I thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day tour of Ireland! Colm Marshall was our guide/driver, and his stories, and depth of knowledge of Irish history was amazing. Our hotels were quite nice and comfy, with amazing service everywhere (breakfast + dinner services, as well as check-in/out). The bus was spacious and comfortable, and the routes that we were on gave us a great view of the sites of small towns, beautiful hills, and the hundreds of castles we drove past. We made some great friends as part of the tour, and have been keeping in touch with a few of them, and have recommended this tour to many of our friends.

Me and my husband travelled Ireland after a long waiting for CoVID 19. After a long research, found this company as I wanted a local company that takes smaller group. I'm used to private trip but I have to say , this tour was amazing and met my expectations. From begging to end everything went perfect. Shannon did booking and correspondence excellent. Now our driver /tour guide , Kathal was superb with providing every details, courteous and humerus and taking care of all of us. I never felt rushed and able to enjoy in a relaxing way.Overall I highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to go to Ireland

Lovely tour. The accommodations were good and every place was clean and well managed. The tour guide/coach driver was wonderful.

Best Tour Ever! Our driver Tony McGooye an absolute professional. Expert at guiding us around Ireland with an informed history of the land and all the sights to see. We loved the historic castles and surrounding towns and villages. So nice to get out of the big cities. The people of Ireland are a delight. This was my second time to visit and I cannot wait to return.

Mick Keane was our driver and our trip wouldn't have been what it was without his expertise. He is a wonderful driver, storyteller, and his knowledge of Irish history was expansive. He managed to keep us on time for all the sights and tour stops without making us feel rushed. Having a someone behind the wheel allowed us to enjoy all of the beautiful scenery and sights. We had a lot of laughs, learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We whole heartedly recommend!
Jesse Miller
July 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Wonderful driver and guide, Sean was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and funny. The handful of 'photo stops' throughout the journey, which were not listed on the itinerary, were some of the most scenic views I've been blessed to witness in my lifetime. The accommodations were very high end and all the provided meals , whether a pub or a castles fine dining room were top notch. You truly get a feel for the history and geography of the land plus the coach was so roomy and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are a lover of castles, beautiful scenery, village walks, and great food and drink.

Our tour guide with My Ireland Tours was Sean O'Sullivan. We had the absolute best time! Every scenic stop we made was absolutely breathtaking. Ireland is definitely the most beautiful country I have ever been to. If you're lucky enough to have Sean for a guide, don't be afraid to spill the craic, he's got a great sense of humor!

We had a group of 5 people with varying energy/activity levels. The six day tour was perfect for our group! We were able to see a ton without being exhausted (for those with less energy) and without being bored (for those with more energy). Brian was informative and always eager to help or answer questions. We also loved that Brian had a great sense of humor and gave us history and commentary when it was important but did not just randomly talk all day long. We greatly appreciated that the buses are consciously left with open seats to allow space but also to make us feel less crowded at each of the sites. It truly did not feel like we were part of a tour at most sites.

My daughter and I returned home from this tour 11 days ago, and I just can't stop talking about it! Colm Clarke, our driver/guide was excellent! He has a vast knowledge of Irish history, custom and culture, and eagerly shared this with our group. He has a cheerful personality and a quick wit. His driving skills are top notch. I felt safe every moment that we were with him. It was nice to have all of our admission tickets taken care of by someone else. The castles and their stories are fascinating. The rich beauty of the countryside is well worth the ride. Lunch at Greta's farm was delicious. I told her she should write a cookbook. As first time visitors to Ireland, this was the perfect choice for sightseeing.

Mr. Clarke was an exceptional guide with both his commentary and attention to our individual questions needs. the tour revealed parts of Ireland new to me and helped me understand more about the country and culture. Thank you!!!

My experience with the Irish tours could not have been anymore 'cracking'. It has been one of the most memorable out of state experiences that I will remember throughout my life. However, this trip would not have been has half as amazing if it was not for our tour guide, Tom Lavin. Not only is he a phenomenal driver, but his hospitality and his knowledge on various things makes going on tours an overall great experience.

My expectations were very high for this tour based on other reviews and feedback. It lived up to all that those 5 star reviews. Our guide Paddy was engaging, fun and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our group. Already looking forward to coming back to see more and would highly recommend to others. Definitely worth the price!!

Just came back from the Iconic 14 day ireland tour. Everything was great. Small group with large bus was perfect. Plenty of room to move around and take photos. Driver/tour leader Cathal was excellent. Very knowledgable of Irelands history. Hotels were roomy and clean. Itinerary was great. Price was excellent for the package. I would highly recommend it

I would rate the tour an 8 out of 10 (10 being the highest)...Tom the tour guide was excellent .... very knowlegable and professional... Most of the excursions were good to excellent with the Epic emigaration museum the best ....The Guiness factory was a dissapointment ...a tourist trap...Didnt learn anything about making beer.... Jameson tour was good as well as the Merry Ploughboy Pub dinner and show... I was also disappointed with the Hotels ..at least with our rooms ...stained carpeting, a booth for a shower .....Liked the variety of the towns we visited .....My Ireland Tour Company did and excellent job of putting together the 10 day itinearary

Had an amazing experience that I'll never forget! Our tour guide Austin was very informative and hilarious. I highly recommend going through this company if you are thinking of visiting Ireland.

It is indeed rare to find a tour company that so thoroughly delivers on ALL of its promises. Our group of 7 travellers got along famously and was in good hands with driver/guide, David Breen. Dave was an historical treasure trove of information with a wicked sense of humor. Our time was well planned, food delicious, and hotels excellent. Highly recommended.
Mimi Musolino

A wonderful tour. Michael was a fantastic guide and driver. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was great. The food was amazing. We covered so much both in sightseeing and knowledge of Ireland. I would highly recommend this tour.
Debra Losch
July 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
My husband and I planned for this trip for over a year and truly enjoyed it! Our bus driver/guide Ken set the tone for trip. He was funny and he was extremely knowledgeable about the areas. Having a small group was wonderful and we were fortunate to get to know them all. Two of our highlights were spending the night in a castle and the sheep herding experiences. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours.
Colleen Doyle
July 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Absolutely outstanding, Colm our driver/guide took our trip to the next level. He made the long drives go by quick with his story telling, extensive knowledge of the history of Ireland and his sense of humor. I could not be more pleased with our experience, thank you to everyone at My Ireland Tour, we cannot thank you enough!.
Tim Neale
July 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. My Ireland Tours is very efficient and responsive. Everything was well planned and and ran smoothly. Our driver/guide also was terrific. Peter kept us on schedule and told us a great deal about Irish history, the sites we were visiting, the climate, the terrain, the government and many other topics. He worked extremely hard and went out of his way to help people on the tour and to show us things that were not mentioned as part of the tour but that he knew about and wanted to share with us. Our visit to the Cliffs of Moher was uncomfortable, but that certainly wasn't the fault of the tour company. The wind that day was blowing at gale force, approaching hurricane force, which make it hard to keep upright, hold the camera, etc. It also was very crowded with people, which wouldn't have mattered if it was a nice sunny day with a gentle breeze. But given the weather, visitors, including us, snapped a few picture then headed for the shelter of the visitor center/cafeteria, which was so crowded that it was hard to move about, use the bathrooms and get something to eat. The Cliffs are Ireland's number one tourist attraction, so people considering a trip to Ireland need to be aware that a visit to the Cliffs may not turn out to be all that great -- for reasons that are uncontrollable. The other thing I want to point out is that Ireland is bigger than many may realize, so the sites you want to see may involve a lot of driving time. That was the case for our tour. There were two days in particular where we drove for many hours, and while there were stops along the way we still spent an awful lot of time on the road. The solution to that problem is either to focus on just one corner of the country, or book a trip with more days so that there is time to break up the tour into smaller chunks. These are just general observations on my part. My Ireland Tours does a great job of planning and executing trips. It hires very good driver/tour guides, books very nice hotels with great food, and is quick to respond to inquiries and address problems that might crop up. I highly recommend them.

This small group, 8 day castle tour lived up to all my expectations! Our tour guide, David was absolutely wonderful! He gave us so much information on each area we visited and was a careful driver on the narrow country roads. He perfectly timed each visit, so that the next would be seamless. Our accommodations were extraordinary and the number of places we visited was remarkable. I truly cannot imagine exploring Ireland any other way! I would highly recommend this tour and this company and will likely book with them again in the future!

Thank You to My Ireland Tour and our driver/guide, Colm, for a magical Ireland adventure! Our group of 21 from Canada, USA and Australia were wonderful! Colm is an excellent driver and fantastic storyteller! His extensive knowledge of Ireland's past and present is remarkable! He's an amazing, kind man with a lovely sense of humour! Our trip was very well organized! The hotels, food and people were great! The combination of cities, historical sites and countryside was perfect! We fell in love with magnificent Ireland! It was indeed a trip of a lifetime!
Polly Counts

Great little tour with a fantastic guide. While the trip was a bit of a whirlwind, it provided the basic overview of some of Irelands must-see sites. Colm, our guide, was very kind, funny, and gave a great narration of Ireland's history, which was fascinating. The hotels were great. Comfortable rooms w/a great breakfast. Overall I'd say a great trip for the price!

A week wasn't long enough but we will be back! Saw so many amazing sites and our tour guide Peter was the best. He had so much knowledge and history of every place we visited. Enjoyed his stories and his guidance. The bus was comfortable and all the places we stayed, especially Ashford Castle, were top notch. Highly recommend My Ireland tours.

Tour of Castles in the Republic of Ireland in June 2023 was absolutely wonderful due largely to our driver/guide Colm!! Would and have recommended as probably the BEST way to see Ireland!!
lisa joy
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Absolutely the best trip of my entire travels abroad life! I had very high expectations and this tour exceeded them. I credit this half to our absolutely delicious tour guide, Philip, and half to the intrinsic beauty of this country and her blessed inhabitants. Everyone we came across, from those in the tourist trade, to the men and women on the street, treated these wayward Americans with kindness and integrity. The accommodations, repasts, conveyances, and tour sites chosen were perfect. We hope to return. Deep gratitude and respect to you all!
Roy Woodward
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our first time in Ireland and they were great. Everything was as advertised and on schedule. The tour group got along wonderfully and no one held up the group. Hotels and food were good. Our lead driver/guide, John, was great - interesting info, always helpful and accommodating, and didn't talk too much (like some guides). We'd certainly use this company again.
Kathy Daine
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
This was my first tour and my first trip outside the US. My Ireland Tour did an amazing job of introducing Ireland to our small group. Everything was handled efficiently and seamlessly. Our guide was so informative and we loved his stories. He made us all feel comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend taking a tour with My Ireland Tour.
Elizabeth Ellett
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
The tour began with a lot of issues from the airline dealing with the flight / luggage thru no fault of My Ireland Tours. I debated whether or not to continue with plans of tour. It was a mutual decision to continue on with tour. Best decision of my life. The reception upon arrival at hotel was amazing. The group of 26 was like catching up with old friends with updates of their life experiences. The coach driver Harry desires a 10. The items he takes care of behind that scenes with cleaning the coach, stopping the coach for photos of such lovely country, architecture, and historical storytelling. Thank you My Ireland Tours and Harry Fisher. I have memories that will never be forgotten and I hold dear to my heart.!

We have just returned from a great trip to Ireland, which we enjoyed immensely. The countryside, castles, cliffs, castles, etc. were spectacular. Our driver/guide, Sean was great. Very knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humour which makes for a happy trip too. A couple of things we would like to comment on: - a little more time in the towns we stayed overnight would be good. Perhaps leave at 8.30 rather than 9.00. - The Guinness tour was disappointing, as the whole site was far too commercial for our liking. Perhaps a visit to Trinity College would be better. Would we recommend this tour and Company? You bet, highly recommended.
Debbie Ginn
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our trip was exceptional and the places we visited in Ireland were beautiful. Our guide Tony who was also our driver was wonderful and full of informative history of the areas we visited. He made our trip Soo memorable and we'll never forget him! 'My Ireland Tour' company is a great company to book with . Absolutely no issues with this company. Thanks again for making our trip Soo memorable and care free!

We just returned from the 10 day tour of Ireland. The whole trip exceeded our expectations. The hotels and food were great! Our tour Guide Tony, was so fantastic. He had such a vast amount of knowledge about the beauty of Ireland and the history of places we visited. He did a fantastic job of relaying information to us in a professional yet entertaining way. He even sang us a few Irish songs. He always checked in with everyone at dinner and we were very confident in his abilities. What a truly nice gentleman. I would love to take another tour through this company. Very organized tour and we saw so many amazing things and just had an awesome trip. Don't hesitate in choosing this tour!

If you happen across this review, consider it fate and book My Ireland Tour now! I already did all the research for you. You get more bang for your buck in comparison to other tours. More attractions are included, more meals are included, nicer hotels are included, and more space on the beautiful and clean bus is included. My husband and I went on the Scotland and Ireland tour, and would definitely recommend it. Everyone I have worked with at the company (Shannon and Shauni) was great from start to finish. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, always kept me updated as to what was going on and what next steps to expect, and genuinely were just kind and professional. As for the tour itself, we had Paddy as our driver, and he was amazing! He was funny and engaging, and truly loves his Country and sharing all his knowledge with you. He's passionate and we had a great time with him. His Irish pride is infectious, so much so our whole bus clapped and cheered when he announced that we crossed into the Republic of Ireland. He even arranged a couple 'off intinerary' things that was a pleasent and unexpected surprise. He genuinely wants the best of the best for his group, and achieves it! Speaking of the group, we got really lucky to have a bunch of great people! Everyone was super nice and friendly the whole time, and best of all everyone was extremely punctual. We left on time (or early) every single time. Not one lollygagger in the group. We had a great time with everyone and even exchanged numbers with a few to keep in touch, and started a shared photo album so we could all share pics! Very sweet added touch - my husband and I were honeymooning and My Ireland Tour went above and beyond to work with the hotels to have little extras in each of our rooms, which was amazingly kind and sweet. It was like having 8 honeymoons rolled into one epic fortnight. Thank you, My Ireland Tour!!

This was my first guided tour as I prefer to travel solo. I decided to take this tour as I just wanted to relax and not have to take on driving on the opposite side of the road. I'm glad I did because I was able to experience much more in 10 days than I would have on my own. Carthal was the guide. He is kind and his educational degree in Irish history made this trip so much more than I had hoped for. His patience for people was outstanding. Even when at times his patience was tested when a select few would not make it back to the bus at the times clearly stated numerous times. Following the ending of the tour I traveled to Malahide where I spent a few nights and had a ticket to a concert at Malahide Castle.

My Ireland Tours was the perfect way to help my mom accomplish one of her life dreams of visiting Ireland. Our group size was just right with 26 total people. The coach had 50 seats so we were able to sit comfortably. We saw other companies with people wearing numbers and packed on coaches. Our 5 day tour covered just the right amount of traditional cities and sights for the first time visitor to Ireland. Dublin, Guinness, EPIC museum, Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, Limerick, the Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Castle Blarney, and Jameson Distillery to name a few. Ireland is very tourism friendly. Our tour guide and coach driver, Garey, made the tour extra special. His love for Ireland was evident: he was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, helpful, organized, patient, and always had a funny story. Plus - wow can he drive a large coach on tiny roads! Helpful tips - 1. If you're jumping ahead a few time zones I highly recommend arriving a day early. Not falling asleep on the first day of the official tour is worth the extra money. 2. Plan ahead for your free time in Dublin, there's so much to do and see. Rent bikes, tour Trinity College, go on a nighttime ghost tour etc. It's fairly easy to get around in the city. 3.There are at least six separate Clayton Hotels with slightly different accommodations so check ahead. Example: Burlington Road had a small fridge in the rooms and Limerick had a pool. The Clayton Hotel Burlington Road was very helpful. We arrived a day early, on our own, and they made sure we could stay in the same rooms for the tour dates. Staff was extremely professional; I left my expensive headphones behind and they not only contacted me to let me know, they offered to have them shipped back to my home address. My mom is truly happy she was able to visit and enjoy Ireland without any travel stress. We highly recommend using My Ireland Tours.

This is an excellent Tour, from the booking staff to the Driver/Guide, the organisation was impeccable. Harry, the Driver/Guide was so patient with us, ensured we were at the right place at the right time and if things didn’t go according to plan, he was calm, adapted and on we went. The Hotels were good. some were absolutely fantastic for a small group bus tour. Harry kept us amused with anecdotes and informed with a never ending range of facts and histories. We met a group of lovely people and made wonderful friends. Can not recommend the Tour more highly.

Booked with My Ireland Tour, and from the start communication was great. We did the Castle tour, and it was FABULOUS. We were able to see so many sights and places, while still having some free time to explore. Our tour guide, Brian, absolutely made the trip. He was fantastic, and gave us amazing history (and jokes) throughout the whole journey. We cannot say enough good things about this tour, and cannot wait to go back!! Thanks Tony!
Pam Newton
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
My daughters booked this tour as a birthday gift to me as Ireland has always been my dream trip. Our driver and guide Liam Finnegan was fantastic, his knowledge of Ireland's history, culture, etc along with a few humorous stories was wonderful. We were also honored with a couple of Irish ballads by Liam after a day of touring. He went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and plenty of breaks along the way as well as plenty of photo opportunities my favorite part was the ring of Kerry and the beautiful scenery. I would recommend this tour 100percent. Thank you Liam and my Ireland tours for fulfilling my dream trip, it was magical.
Valerie Dickson

Took the iconic scenes of Ireland tour in May 2023. It was amazing. Coach was comfortable with plenty of extra space to spread out. Every day was filled with beautiful scenery and interesting things to see and do. Our driver/guide, Colm Clarke, was fantastic - funny, knowledgeable, helpful, kind - could not ask for better. Just before setting out on our tour, we had a last minute request for walk in showers, and Shannon in the office fixed us up at every stop. Shannon was very helpful with every contact we had with her as we planned our trip. Highly recommend My Ireland Tours!
Sandi Delaney
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our experience with My Ireland Tour was fantastic. From the when I booked the tour to the week before it started Shannon was a great communicator on what to expect and our transfer information. On the tour itself Liam went above and beyond and provided us all with the rich history of Ireland, entertaining stories and local traditions information. We had perfect weather which was a definite plus! Our family came back to the US with loads of happy memories and some fabulous photos. We absolutely feel in love with Ireland. Thank you to Liam and Shannon for all that you did to make sure our tour was grand!!

It was so simple to book with My Ireland Tour. The communication was first class and the organisation, hotels and itinerary exceptional. Our driver/guide Don was patient, extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. How he navigated the big bus down the narrow lanes was first class. He kept us safe and could not do enough for us. I have no hesitation in recommending My Ireland Tour.

Audrey Sullivan
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
I had the pleasure of enjoying (with a family group of 26) your 10 day coach tour of Ireland with Sean O'Sullivan as our driver. This tour surpassed my expectations tenfold! We stayed in luxurious hotels, had excellent full breakfasts included as well as other delicious meals. We saw both Northern and Southern parts of Ireland which included all the Irish highlights and monuments, places and much history. Thanks to the exceptional knowledge of our tour driver Sean and his enthusiasm for his work and his country I left with a much better understanding of Irish culture, and its history and people. This was my first coach tour and I must say it blew me away. I felt that I saw the best of Ireland with little effort on my part as everything was taken care of by the company, and would definitely consider another tour with this company. If you're thinking about booking a tour , Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed !!

Mickey Brashears
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Amazing and very well organized 10 day tour of Ireland and it was the best way to see Ireland. Our driver, Don O'Donoghue, was great! He was very informative, funny, and always made sure everyone was okay and having a good time. He kept us on track without making us feel rushed. Having dinner included everynight is good for some, but it was basically the same meals over and over. We actually ate out on our own more often than not as we wanted to explore the food/culture of each of the cities. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour!
Marcel Gauthier
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
I just got home yesterday from the My Ireland - Historic Irish Castle Tour. It was definitely worth it. I had never been on a guided tour before so I was hesitant to book it, but I am glad I did. Overall it was worth doing and exactly as described. Good food, free continental or cooked breakfasts every morning and full 3 course meals for dinner every night with a mixed authentic farm house lunch included one of the days on our trip. The castle hotels we stayed at were a good experience, just don't expect 5 star hotel accommodations, after all they are older converted castles. Think more large scale bed and breakfast. The RIU Greshum hotel we stayed at on our tour the first and last night was nice and centrally located in the heart of Dublin which was nice to experience a little of Dublin and local shops and bars. You are riding a tour bus accross Ireland so there is a lot of time on the bus, but Brian, who was our driver stopped plenty of times for breaks and they did space out tour well enough so that you were not on the bus for too long at a time. Some of the stops may have needed a little more time, but I am sure others felt they were too long so I can't be picky about such things. That was just my personal taste. There were also some things I would have changed, but the tour was exactly as described and they can't custom cater to 26 people's needs. Overall I think everyone on our tour bus seemed to enjoy the experience. Brian (the driver) was knowledgeable of Irish history and kept us entertained with stories and jokes during the drives. He also was able to answer any questions we had. I traveled with my 19 year old son and we both enjoyed ourselves. He thanked me for taking him once we got home.

Our recent tour of Ireland via My Ireland Tour was an extremely gratifying experience with an itinerary that reflected the gist of life in Ireland & its history. Our driver/guide, Sean O'Sullivan, is very professional, compassionate, efficient, passionate of his homeland & well versed in the past & present history of Ireland. Accommodation & dining (where included) was excellent & well organized. These types of tours are designed to give one a grasp of what the country is all about with a good foundation for future travel. My Ireland Tour & Sean O'Sullivan delivered in spades. We look forward to a return to Ireland thanks to them.

Our 10 day bus tour of Ireland more than met any expectations that I had. Our guide/driver Sean O Sullivan was professional, knowledgeable and made an effort so that each once of us got something unique from the experience. Not only did he know our names, he made sure he understood the connections between our group of 26! Seans knowledge of history and culture - both past and present was astonishing. I felt safe and well cared for and can't thank him and My Ireland tours enough for that lovely introduction to beautiful Ireland. I highly recommend 'My Ireland tours'
Teresa Micucci
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
An amazing trip. Sean O'Sullivan was our driver/tour guide and would highly recommend him. He brought us to areas not on our itinerary for the true feel of the soil. His knowledge of the history of the Island was very impressive. He has a wit, charm and personality that can only make one feel at home, which we (26 of us) did. He kept an extremely clean coach and did a great job on herding the cats to stay on schedule to see what was on the itinerary and then some! Thank you Sean for an awesome family 2023 vacation.

June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
I recently completed a tour of Ireland with a group of 26 people with My Ireland Tours. Our driver/guide, Sean O'Sullivan, was the best! His cheery personality, wit and knowledge of all things Irish made our 10 day tour superb! He was extremely organized and efficient yet relaxed and flexible which helped in trying to organize 26 people on a daily basis with all our luggage and paraphernalia. Sean is an excellent driver and guide. His love of Ireland, the country, the culture, legends and folklore were part of his daily driving/guiding routine. I developed a better sense and appreciation for Ireland myself through Sean' Irish spirit. If you are lucky enough to have Sean O'ullivan as your driver/guide then you'e found the Pot O'Gold!
Tim Partridge
June 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
A trip of a lifetime. Our driver Sean had us all in stitches multiple times. The bus was clean and comfortable and the windows were spotless. His knowledge of Irish history and of the monuments and areas we visited was downright impressive and enriched the experience greatly. We were even treated to some mythological Irish audio stories and Irish music on the bus. Spots that we didn't visit were pointed out as we were driving so I have a list of sites to see for my next trip. If you have the chance to take a tour you won't regret a minute of it! 10/10 would do it again.

Shauna was also helpful in answering my questions before the trip. Thank you so much for the great memories!!

From the start of planning with Catriona to the end with our tour with our driver Mick, I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Ireland was everything we dreamed it would be. Mick was so knowledgeable and happy to answer all our crazy questions. I highly recommend this company if you are planning a trip to Ireland.

My Ireland Tour was prompt at responding to our requests when we were booking this trip. Davey was our driver and we felt so safe. He took us to some special sights that we wouldn't have found on our own.

Six friends went on the small group tour with My Ireland Tour. We couldn't have been happier. Everything about it was absolutely perfect; from the correspondence with Shauni at My Ireland Tour, to the itinerary she planned for us, to the tour guide that we had. Bryan, our driver and guide was funny, smart and knowledgeable. I highly recommend My Ireland Tour!

Just returned from the 17 day Iconic Scotland/Ireland tour with My Ireland Tours. Wonderful, fantastic, superb and absolutely fun are just some of the adjectives I could use to describe this tour. First and foremost, our driver/guide Pat Prendergast was A+++ Couldn't have asked for a better guide! He was friendly, caring, helpful, knowledgeable, and amusing. And boy could he handle that bus-his driving skills are magnificent! This trip had a lot of senior citizens (including me) and a few people who had health or mobility issues. Pat was always accommodating and watched out for us always. The hotels were lovely; the meals were delicious. The company was very easy to deal with and very responsive to any queries. The group was small (24) but the bus was full size so many of us could have seats to ourselves if we do desired. 17 days in a bus with mostly strangers can be a bit unpredictable but I can honestly say I loved every minute of it and enjoyed meeting folks from many areas of the US. I would highly recommend this tour company!!

What a delight to spend 10 days touring Ireland with Eammon, the ultimate guide! Never at a loss whether explaining history, pointing out every excellent pub option along the route, flawlessly squeezing our bus into unimaginably impossible spots and making us laugh the whole way. We joined the tour with a group of friends and made new ones along the way. Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. While driving us back to the airport, Eammon shared one of his witty quips to send us on our travels home. 'As the Bishop said to the Nun, let's get the flock out of here.' Can't wait to return.

My Ireland tour company was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The staff was informative and knowledgeable every step of the way. Our host and driver, Michael Coleman was so friendly and helpful to every person in the group. We could not have asked for a better experience in making our dreams of Ireland come true! Highly recommend!

On behalf of us all, a major BRAVO! for all the elements of our tour. We enjoyed it immensely! Our only thoughts were that we wished we had more nights to stay at many of the beautiful and luxurious hotels to just sleep in and be lazy.. perhaps next time. And many thanks to our wonderful driver Patrick! He took excellent care of us. He was knowledgeable without being overwhelming, and accommodating on every level. He made the experience all the more memorable. The one day around the Ring of Kerry with John was also very enjoyable and informative. Overall, we had a splendid time and are very grateful for your assistance in making this all happen. We would certainly recommend 'My Ireland Tour' to others and perhaps take advantage again ourselves.

One of the best tours I have taken and I'll include cruises in that assessment also. Very well organized, four star hotels, breakfast fabulous, dinner very good. Excellent idea to have two nights in each hotel and not depart until 9AM. Visited some great sites with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Eamon finally admitted he doesn't lie but he may exaggerate sometimes. He is also a very good singer.

May 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our tour of the Ring of Kerry was a phenomenal trip. The accommodations (my goodness the accommodations!), the sights, the meals and free time included were above and beyond any expectations. Dave, our driver and guide was lovely. He was informative, friendly fun and incredibly helpful. The 8 passenger bus was comfortable with large windows to see out of, seats to recline and nap in if you wanted. Dave would also pull over whenever we asked in order to take pictures. This vacation was the most stress free and beautiful time I have ever had, and I have traveled alot. For the money, this tour and the MyIrelandTours company cannot be beat. It is worth every penny and a steal for what you get to do. My only complaint is that this company and it's tours aren't available in any other countries outside Ireland, because I would love to use them any place I went in Europe.

A nice flavor of the country and a smaller group. I feel too much time was spent at Jameson and Guinness and not any time actually seeing the cities we were in. Very little of the history of areas was given. Many times we were just dropped off at sites by our driver/guide to see things on our own. The hotels were nice and food good but not up to tours I have done in the past.
Peggy McKenzie
May 2023 • My Ireland Tour Package
This tour was a 12! The food was exceptional. The accommodations were all five star excellent! The service at each historical sight was exquisite. The scenery and the people of Ireland were extraordinary! Exceptional. Excellent. Exquisite. Extraordinary. I think these four words just about sums up our whole experience on this tour. Oh, but I can't forget to mention our delightful, knowledgable, and talented tour guide and driver, Tony. He regaled our little group with the history of Ireland's people along with captivating myths and stories. But I would certainly be remiss if I didn't mention Tony's lovely renditions of our favorite Irish songs. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him.

What a marvelous tour. Frankly, I am feeling so much more attached to my Irish roots than ever before! I am the end of our line, so feeling the sense of rootedness is an important outcome for me. As one who used to teach leisure theory and tourism, Tom, you were impressive! On reflection, I do not know how you did it all. When No. Ireland is scheduled, I will book and hope to bring friends. By the way, the group coalesced well; with you we built trust and had genuine fun. Thank you.

What a wonderful 6 day tour. Our tour guide and driver Michael Coleman was excellent. Very good and handling the bus while being the tour guide too. Very knowledgeable about all the places we were going to and passing along the way. Answered everyone's questions and looked up any information you needed. I highly recommend My Ireland tour plus requesting Michael as our tour guide too!

We had a fabulous experience with My Ireland Tour. They were extremely helpful and accommodating in arranging the tour that we wanted, with our individual preferences taken into account. When we got to Ireland, everything couldn't have been better. Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! He was friendly, helpful, great to be around, and generally a joy to have driving us so we didn't have to do that ourselves. He always made excellent suggestions along the way for places we should stop that would add to what we were doing, and they were great. He also knows people at every sight and can get his van in closer if you need that (my husband has come mobility issues and this was a plus)!. Sadly, we got covid partway through our trip and My Ireland Tours was incredibly helpful in working out how to manage this problem and get us to our flight home as needed. I highly recommend them.

If your going to take a trip to the Emeral Isle you couldn't do any better than to leave the trip planning to My Ireland Tours and let Keith be your guide!

I would just like to say the my sister and I had such a wonderful time. I have never been with a tour group before and it was much better than expected. My met lovely people and I was able to relax without the hassle of driving and figuring out where to go. The accommodation were outstanding go the morning breakfast was more than we imagined. I also cannot say enough about our driver Tom. He was extremely friendly and personable. He left no stone unturned concerning history of Ireland.

He shared personal experiences as well as his knowledge of the country throughout our trip. The bus was clean, immaculate, as were all the hotels that we stayed at we highly recommend this trip to anybody who wants to see a little bit of what island has to offer

Such an amazing experience! I've never done a tour like this before, so I was apprehensive. But I'm so glad I made the decision to give it a try, I wouldn't of seen everything I did otherwise. The company was so easy to work with, giving great details and updates prior to the trip that made planning a breeze. Our driver, Tom Lavin, was amazing… Always giving us fun stories and interesting details about Ireland. We spent some long days on the bus, but Tom made the time fly by and always got us to our destination safe and sound. The six day tour hit all the highlights of things I wanted to see, it was very well planned out and made great use of each day. I would 100% recommend this company and this tour for anyone wanting to experience Ireland, I can't say enough good things.

We were able to see so much and Tony was a wealth of knowledge along the way. Our weather was beautiful and sunny with a few spits of rain but overall we were very fortunate.

On March 30, 2023 my wife Joanne, my sister-in law Patty, my brother-law Bill, my niece Jessica and me left the shores of America and traveled in reverse time back to my ancestor's homeland, Ireland. For 10 days we visited the eternally green country of hopes and dreams. First and foremost, this journey would not have been possible without my niece Jessica's energetic vision to arrange a once in a lifetime trip. She chose 'My Ireland Tours' to lead us through the journey. Her choice of 'My Ireland Tours' was a nothing short of visionary. My wife, her father & mother and myself will always be grateful to her. We spent the first day in Dublin touring Trinity College (visiting the Book of Kells), Dublin Castle, and the Temple Bar Square. After a short respite we culminated our day with a tasty meal and a pint of Guinness that was as pure as mother's milk at the venerable Brazen Head Pub built in 1198. Obviously, there have been a few glasses raised there over the past 825 years. The next day, refreshed and energized we started the journey through Ireland led by Michael Coleman, a tour guide extraordinaire. He took us from Dublin to Galway, with stops at the mystical Clonmacnoise on the River Shannon, the Connemara mountains and the Kylemore Abbey. The Abbey was a beautiful sprawling estate and castle run by the Benedictine Community of nuns. After spending 2 nights in Galway City we traveled to the breathtaking Cliffs of Mohr. We then moved on to Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle, the Michael Collins Memorial, Cobh City, then to Cork City, and the Rock of Cashel before traveling back to Dublin for a one-day grand tour of Dublin. But….back to Michael Coleman who really made the trip fun and interesting. He was a non-stop whirlwind of Irish historical knowledge, geographical information, and the description and tales of the unique plant life of Ireland (the Hawthorne trees, and the Gorse hedge) that dotted the Irish landscape. He always added humor and a smile that seemed to last forever. Speaking for all of us, he felt like part of our family by the end of our trip. We wish to thank him personally, and offer the best to him and his family. When we return again to Ireland we will choose “My Ireland Tours' and request Michael to take us on another epic journey. Thank you 'My Ireland Tours', and for the generosity and friendliness of the Irish people. Our family truly felt the Gaelic 'Cead Mile Failte' (hundred thousand welcomes).

This company was absolutely incredible!!! I highly recommend! From the planning stages of our trip to Ireland, all the way through till the day we came home they were amazing. Every employee from My Ireland Tour was professional, knowledgeable, and exactly what we were looking for in a private tour company. To start, I must have called and emailed with Eric no less than 45X before we finalized our itinerary. He was so nice and always answered my questions fully, and with ease. He never seemed frustrated or bothered. Eric was so wonderful to work with and I trusted every decision he helped me make. When my group of 13 people arrived in Ireland, we were greeted by two of the nicest individuals, who happened to also be our drivers (Keith and Brian). Brian departed our group after day one, but Keith stayed on for the remainder of the trip, and he was fabulous!! He knew so much about the history of Ireland, and he was also up to date on current events – driving around the country was full of fun history and storytelling. Keith knew exactly how to keep you interested and engaged – the perfect tour guide. Additionally, both Keith and Brian seemed to be very safe drivers, I felt comfortable with their driving even on some of the narrowest roads. They kept us on time so that we did not miss anything that we wanted to see, and they made sure that we arrived at popular destinations before the crowds did and avoided long wait times. I could go on and on about the amazing experience we had. Every person in our group was pleased. I would definitely go back to Ireland, and I would 100% go through My Ireland Tour to book it.

What an amazing trip and I can't wait to come back. Tom was fantastic, so knowledgeable, patient and made the trip even better. I didn't realize we'd be sitting for so long on the bus and couldn't take a lot of pictures driving by some places but it worked. The hotels were just ok that we stayed in. I'd suggest this tour to others who can't take a longer tour.

Thank you!!As we planned our family trip to Ireland, our travel agent with Wander Your Way helped us find My Ireland Tour. I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone who prefers a small private tour of Ireland. The folks at My Ireland Tour clearly listened to our travel agent because the suggested itinerary clearly reflected our interests and personalities, offering the variety and the flexibility we specifically asked for. The coach was comfortable, providing enough room for all of our personal items and safe passage throughout the counties that we toured. The Rock of Cashel was our first stop, an interesting glimpse into the history that we were to encounter throughout Ireland. The Happy Pig B&B in Kenmare was tip top, having that warm cozy feeling that our family appreciates. We absolutely loved our time in Kenmare…. restaurants and pubs, traditional Irish music that we stumbled upon, the quality of shops, the friendliness of the shopkeepers! We enjoyed journeying through the spectacular Ring of Kerry. Your choice of The Blind Piper Pub for our lunch was perfect…. the fire in the fireplace inside the pub area captured the essence of the area and immediately drew us in and the food tasty! Muckross House had something for all of us. Some enjoyed the history of the home, admiring the weavers' work while some simply enjoyed walking the grounds. Heaton's Guest House was a beautiful choice for our stay in Dingle. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean, the breakfasts delicious, and afternoon tea and chocolate cake in the gathering room an unexpected treat! We had asked for time to go to Mass on Easter Sunday. So, we attended mass at St. Mary's, a special experience for us all. Touring Dingle Peninsula was on our itinerary, providing breathtaking views of coastal and mountain scenery. The Wild Atlantic Way and the Cliffs of Moher was a highlight. Kylemore Abby and the Gothic Church built to honor the owner's wife was amazing. We requested to stay at Ballynahinch Castle. What an experience..... it is remote and elegant, steeped in history, surrounded by beautiful gardens and a flowing river. However, I think our family would all agree that the real star of the week was Brian, our guide and driver. His Irish warmth, wit, his knowledge of the geography, the religion, the economy, the folk lore, made the trip fun and fact filled. He filled the hours we were together with so much information answering hundreds of questions. He went above and beyond leading to many bonus stops as he called them.... Anascaul with the story of Irish explorer Tom Crean, … the Red Fox Inn for Irish coffee…..Celtic Crystal in Moycullen, meeting the owner and an artisan who demonstrated creating designs on a crystal bowl and beautiful pieces for sale of which I brought home several … stops at memorials that honored those who died in the famine …. many stops for random “Kodak moments'. And the list goes on. The most kindest 'bonus' that Brian arranged was a meeting on the Saturday before Easter with Brian deStaic in Dingle. We had explained that one reason that our family had chosen Ireland to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday was the connection to Irish heritage, even though we have not been able to trace anyone to any specific County. Knowing the Gaelic alphabet and Irish-Gaelic name variations, Brian took it upon himself to call Brian deStaic to ask if he would have time to meet my husband. He did, and they did, a highlight for my husband. Besides all of that, he was a safe driver navigating the twists and turns and complicated Irish roads. He didn't just drop us off and say 'see you later'; he accompanied us everywhere making sure we arrived at any point of location safely and making sure we knew where the coach would be parked upon our return. He would allow ample time for exploring the different points of interest. Our family is grateful to My Ireland Tour and our guide for creating and implementing a trip where memories were made that our will forever cherish.

One of the best drunk decisions I have ever made. I was drinking one night, saw this, and booked it for my friend and I, both of us extremely happy that I did. Our tour guide/driver, Tom, was knowledgeable about both history and current events in Ireland. The hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable. We were lucky enough to have sunny skies pretty much the whole time as well, making the experience even better. I would recommend doing a longer tour instead of just the 6 day because it is pretty packed with places to go and there is a lot of time riding on the coach. Overall it was worth the money and I would highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Ireland.

You know you've found the right tour group and guide when you have to leave the country without a dry eye because you know you're going to miss it. Our Guide, Tom, could not have been a better ambassador for Ireland; friendly, personable, engaging, and knowledgeable about his country's past, present and future made for the best introduction to the magic that is Ireland. I've never hired a tour because I've always had reservations about following other people's schedules and itineraries. Having gone with My Ireland Tour, those concerns were put to rest. The hotels, transfers, and destinations really were well thought out and gave the best picture of Ireland that we could have asked for as guests. We're already planning Northern Ireland in 2024 and hope Tom will be able to work that tour!!! A million thanks to My Ireland Tour, I've travelled to Europe many times and this by far has been my favorite holiday, 'GOOD CRAIC' indeed, thanks Tom!!!

Just got back from my ireland tour with 19 of my family members. We worked with Catriona for the planning and she was wonderful. She was able to answer all of our question, adjust our tour, deal with a family member dropping out of the tour, getting my grandma a wheel chair and recommending dinner spots for us. The whole planning process was smooth due to Catriona. Our tour guide was Paddy, and he was wonderful. He went above and beyond to show us/ tell us about ireland. We feel we got to see everything important. He was great with my grandparents and guiding us with tour spots and what we can do. Anyone looking to go to Ireland is in great hands dealing with Catriona and having paddy has a tour guide.

As I sit on my plane flight home, I wanted to put in words how grateful I am for this opportunity I have had to visit Ireland. It has been my life dream to visit. I had no idea what I signed up for, but I couldn't have had anything better than My Ireland Tours. Specifically, Tony Mc Goey was hands down an amazing human and a fantastic tour guide. Leaving is bittersweet and saying goodbye was difficult for me. He, alongside my travel agent Cheri of Cheri's Travel Spot made my dreams a perfect reality. Tony was knowledgeable, funny, kind, genuine and a load of craic. If you are ever blessed to visit Ireland, you would be lucky to do so with Tony and My Ireland Tour. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

If you're considering a tour as a means to explore Ireland, look no further than My Irish Tour. We planned a six person family tour customized to meet our families' desires to visit historical family places as well as the suggested tour stops. My Ireland Tours met our requirements and then some. The work done by Kristel to plan the routes and stops were just what we hoped for. Our Tour Guide and Driver Pat was terrific. He's very knowledgable, accommodating and a lot of fun. A really good guy! One of our group members fell ill during the trip and Pat was very helpful in working through our needs and all ended well. We'll be back again next year for some of our unexplored parts of Ireland, the tour left us wanting more!

We are still on our tour but I'm over impressed with the knowledge Tom has of the country. And the care of the company one of the ladies in our tour fell and broke her ankle not only did Tom do everything to make her comfortable but Eric sent a private transfer to get her to the airport to go home. This company is amazing. We are home now from an amazing tour of Ireland; it was our first time to see Ireland. We had a wonderful time learned so much history about the country. Every day was a new adventure, I am so thankful I found myireland tours to book through. If we had tried to venture on our own we would have missed so much of the country and amazing sites. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to travel to Ireland,. Tom was our guide most of the trip with Desmond, Jamie and Pat helping out. The local guides that helped at some of the sites were also great.

A wonderful trip. My first time visiting Ireland & this tour gave me a great overview of the country. The hotels we stayed at were true experiences to remember. We were treated to lovely meals & offered many extras we requested. Our driver guide Tony added so much to the tour. His narrative of Irish history & his serenades will always be remembered. I only wish I could have recorded them. As a single woman I was pleased with how well our tour group mixed with each other. I felt comfortable & welcome in the group.

As a seasoned traveler, I can honestly say that 'My Ireland Tour' is the BEST tour I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The itinerary was thorough and thoughtfully prepared, but the commentary, personalization and side excursions presented by our guide made this tour exceptional. Our guide, Tom, was both knowledgeable about Ireland's history, each region's unique qualities, and the global Ireland of today. Tom was the 'jewel in the crown' and took each new encounter to a new level. Even with an injury sustain before the trip, he was patient and caring, and made sure I enjoyed each opportunity at my own pace. Although travelling alone, at the end of the tour I felt as though I was with my family. Shared meals, laughter and experiences made this my most memorable trip abroad. Well done 'My Ireland Tour'! I will see you again.

He was calm at all times and full of jokes and knowledge of everyplace we visited. All the accommodations and meals were great top notch. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit Ireland. This was our first guided coach tour and I will for sure do again.

How do I begin? It was absolutely amazing! I wasn’t sure what to expect, this was the first time doing a escorted tour and we lucked out and got Harry Fisher as our driver and tour guide. Harry was personable and helpful every step of the way. Each stop and hotel was executed on time and as expected. Each attraction was such a great experience and the information provide by Harry made the tour so informative and fun. Our group was fun and the ease of their companionship on the tour really made the whole experience so enjoyable. I am ready to go back and even looking to plan another tour with My Ireland Tour soon. Thank you for an incredible experience!

My wife and I recently took the Castle Tour. Plain and simple, the tour stacked up to the marketing on the Web site. The accomodations were outstanding, the selection of things to see showed thought and experience. Even such mundane things as rest room stops were well timed and occurrred at interesting places. The motor coach is quite comfortable, with strong wifi present to sync photos, etc. Our driver was knowledgable, affable and charismatic. Our tour highlight might have been the opportunity to ring the bells at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. Highly recommended.

My Ireland Tours the 10 day tour was such an amazing experience for our first trip to Ireland both my mother and myself! From the hotels to the guided tours we saw everything in Ireland we wanted and more! The hotels were beautiful and great selections and the meals were great as well! Tony our guide for the 10 days was phenomenal with so much knowledge on the history and sites we were seeing, we couldn't ask for a better guide to get around Ireland for our first trip!!! He had wonderful suggestions for places to go to eat/see when we had free time and was always able to answer any questions we had! The group was small with 26 people and not crowded at all. This company is so amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who is venturing to Ireland for the first time!!! It was a trip of a lifetime!

Our trip was outstanding and made all the better with our driver Tony. From the moment one is picked up at the airport- Ireland's beauty envelopes. The MyIrelandTour company does an amazing job of picking beautiful, historical sightseeing opportunities.Tony adds the history lessons and humor! The hotels, meals and admission to all the sights is so worth the expense. We shopped around and this tour is hands down the best price out there. Make the trip with them. You won't regret it!

Tom did an excellent job bringing Ireland to life with his expert driving skills, some roads are not for the faint of heart, and his informative and witty storytelling throughout the tour! Not once did I feel like I was on a “guided coach tour' but instead with a small group of people we quickly became friends with. We would definitely use My Ireland Tours for future excursions! Well done

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my recent Castle & Manor house tour (9/10-9/21). First impressions are so important and it began when we first contacted your company in 2019 to book this tour for 2020, you know the rest, Covid postponed it in 2021 as well and finally we made it in 2022. Your staff was always courteous,reassuring,patient & answered our questions on a timely basis. Everything was first class from the accommodations. sightseeing tours, food etc. Tony was our driver/guide and was amazing. His knowledge, humor, stories, driving skills and yes even when he sang made this tour so enjoyable! The beauty of your country is stunning. I'm having a little Ireland withdrawal and hope to visit again soon.

I chose My Ireland Tour because of the value, how everything was included in the cost like meals and tickets, tour size and places visited especially like the stud and b&b farms. What a fabulous time it was! Ben our driver and tour guide was entertaining and full of information and suggestions. He did a great job of looking after us. The places we visited and tours were amazing and I loved seeing so much of the country. The group was a lot of fun and many laughs had. It was truly an amazing 14 days that far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Ben and everyone at My Ireland Tour for the wonderful memories!

This company supplied a guide/driver for our own itinerary. We traveled throughout most of Ireland and even went to Northern Ireland for a couple of days. The van was very spacious and the driver was knowledgeable of Irish history and would answer many questions we had about life in Ireland. The only gripe we had, was that she had to stop every so often for a break. Sometimes, we would start the day and a short while later she needed to stop. We figured if she needed a rest, it would be while we were visiting a site and not before that. We have never encountered that with tour guides before, so we felt it cut into our travel time. Our journey from one place to another took much longer then we thought, due to the constant stops and the slow speed of the van. There were trucks always passing us on main roads. Otherwise, we accomplished what we wanted to, and we spent a really nice week seeing Ireland.

My wife, sister, and cousin booked an 8 day tour with 'My Ireland Tours'. We all had a fabulous experience. 'My Ireland Tour' worked with us in preparing our itinerary and ensured we were completely satisfied before we left. They booked us in first class hotels which included a night in the magnificent Lough Eske Castle. Our Driver, Kevin, was very personable and flexible with last minute changes. Kevin was always very professional and had a wealth of information about all our sights. I can't imagine booking an Ireland tour with a different company.

Kevin L. was a wonderful tour guide and driver for all 8 days we toured off the usual trails. We had a remarkable 'cousins' trip to see towns our ancestors came from. Five stars for all hotels, castles, restaurants and of course Kevin! Such a welcoming and beautiful country

We did the castles tour, stayed in 2 great castles! Excellent food everywhere, wonderful tours, only raining one day at rock of Cashel but the guide there was fantastic. A shout out to our driver guide Sean, got us through a few tight sqeezes with the bus, and was very informative about Irish history. We highly recommend My Ireland tours and hope to come again!!!!

We chose My Ireland Tours after reading the positive reviews and the amazing price and we weren't disappointed. From the time we booked and all communication following their service was exceptional. Then it was time for our tour…We stayed in fabulous hotels and castles, ate delicious food and most of all, visited amazing places. All this was possible due to the expert driving and knowledge of our guide Paddy, he made our trip more interesting with all the information he shared and his ability to drive and park in narrow streets, which at times seemed impossible. Truly the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Paddy and all the My Ireland Tour.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip, accommodations were extremely comfortable, quite luxurious in fact, and delicious meals. Our guide Tony was very pleasant, professional, good humored and knowledgeable. He insured that everything ran smoothly to optimize our experience. I enjoyed the itinerary, particularly the demonstrations of sheep herding by a shepherd and his dogs, the weaving, crystal cutting and Belleek pottery making, and bell ringing at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. Also noteworthy is the Derry city tour hosted by Ronan McNamara. Kylemore Abbey and the Kerry Bog Village visits were also highlights. Tony recommended the Irish Musical show ,which was optional and was a very enjoyable and memorable evening. Well worth attending. There were 26 of us on a comfortable bus . The group was congenial and punctual which certainly is essential to a good trip. We were blessed with glorious weather which also had a very positive impact on our tour. I would highly recommend this trip. My cousin and I are considering repeating it or another with My Ireland Tours.

The Trip of a Lifetime!! We chose My Ireland Tour because of the existing fantastic reviews and we were not disappointed! This was our first ever coach tour and we were not sure of what to expect! This tour and this company exceeded all expectations! Brian Treanor was our driver/guide and we knew from the first moment that we were in skilled hands…a driver extraordinaire, a knowledgeable guide, a comedian, a kind, caring person who ensured we were well cared for and comfortable and who made every day special by going above and beyond!! Did we get what we paid for? Absolutely! In spades! Would we travel with this company again? Absolutely!! We have recommended this company and the 14-day tour to friends and strangers alike who ask about our time in Ireland.

Great experience! Weather was perfect!! Our original guide had a family crisis the day before our tour began but the company scrambled and found our substitute guide Liam, and our driver Eddie and we didn’t miss anything! They were both fantastic!!! Liam was full of knowledge about Ireland and went above and beyond to look after our group. He and Eddie were super friendly and both of them were cracking jokes often. It was an incredible tour and I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.
Palma Eisner
October 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
The castles that we stayed in were AMAZING. The rooms were elegant and spacious and the food was delicious. If you want to do falconry or spa services I suggest that you book ahead on the castle websites. Our group was very friendly and punctual which added greatly to the enjoyment of this tour. The bus was somewhat comfortable because it wasn't full and if no one was behind you, you could recline your seat. The bathroom on the bus wasn't working but we had amble bathroom stops. Toni, our tour guide, was humorous and he taught us songs. However, he showed favoritism to some passengers. Some of our stops were too long and other places we would have preferred a longer stop but this is normal for group tours. All in all, we really enjoyed our tour of Ireland and would recommend this tour.

1st rate tour company in Ireland! Our fist time in Europe and this tour company was the best! Starting with this being a family owned company, they were all so attentive to our needs and all of our questions. Our driver Eamon was literally the best! So knowledgeable, funny and we felt like he made our trip so special! Ireland is beautiful, the Irish people were so kind and generous. Plus, we made lifelong friends with people on our tour. It was truly a trip of a trip of a lifetime! Thank you 'MY IRELAND TOUR'.

Second time on a small group tour with this company. They are wonderful. So easy to book, so easy to pay, so easy to enjoy. The office staff is always there to answer any questions before, during or after your tour. Both times the tour guides were so knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours!

This was a fantastic tour of Ireland and would fully recommend it. Our driver/tour guide Tony was so informative and knowledgeable. He was so friendly and polite and his sense houmour was great. He took us to some really great places and we had a wonderful itinerary for 9 days. Our fellow passengers were a great group of people.?We toured the whole of Ireland and saw unspoilt beauty, it is such a beautiful country and would come back again. The hotels we stayed at was more than 5star and the food was amazing. The deluxe Ireland tours are the bestest ever.

My wife and I took our three married children and spouses on a ten day trip around Ireland celebrating our 50th anniversary. Our driver Brian was beyond our expectations. He was always on time, he was funny and made this trip the most memorable it could be.our accommodations were wonderful and we are sad that the top mark is five stars because it deserved 10 stars. Thank you Kristal for your help making this a trip of a lifetime for my wife and I and our children.

Best Tour Company in Ireland! This is our second tour with My Ireland Tour. Our first was in 2019 and we were heading back to UK area for a wedding this year and decided to make another trip to Ireland. Eric is great to work with, very accommodating and puts together a great schedule. Both times we did a private tour with 8 people the first time and this time we had 9. The vehicles are very nice, comfortable and spacious. Our driver, David was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour!!!

Kristel on behalf of our group I want to express our thanks to you and My Ireland Tours for designing a tour to Ireland that was beyond our Wildest dreams. The visit was wonderful, awesome, epic, we can’t really find the best adjective to use. It was great!! And Pat Doyle is a real gem. He took us on the back roads, got to sites before the big busses, and added stops based on our conversations. Like a visit to a chocolate factory with taste testing, or stopping by a man making St Bridgett’s cross, finding a jewelry store that had St Bridgett’s cross pendants, tickets to Killarney’s Celtic Dance Show, or a woolen store to buy wool thread!! And pointing out sites for our personal interests, crazy about stone fences, houses and cottages in the countryside, and geological wonders at each stop for our geologist member. Thank you Kristel, and Pat, and My Island tours. We had a great, awesome, wonderful, epic time!

We recently completed our first bus tour and could have not selected a better company then My Ireland Tour to travel with. Our tour took us for 10 wonderful days through Ireland with Tom Lavin as our driver and tour guide. He made our holiday one we will never forget, and we came home with such a better understanding of Ireland past and present. Thanks to all who made our holiday so memorable.

First, our tour guide, Harry, was top flight. He was full of local history. He drove the bus superbly. He went out of his way to accommodate every request. He was always on time. He was friendly and, at the end of every day, checked to make sure that everyone had a good day and made certain that we all knew what the evening's and next day's schedules were. Second, there was a wide variety of activities from sightseeing overviews of the various cities and tours of landmarks to time spent driving the scenic byways and stops for learning about bog village life, distillery and beer brewing processes, glass making, and the Irish immigrant story at EPIC, among other things. When we were placed in the hands of a local guide to show us a particular site, he or she was always knowledgeable and engaged. Third, the accommodations ran from above average to superb. The food was always good. The menu selections were limited but there was always something for everyone. The hotel and restaurant staffs were always attentive and accommodating.

Getting to sample a number of various cities/town/counties in Ireland was very beneficial to understanding the culture and dynamic nature of its history. We had plenty of time to effectively capture the people, sounds and flavors at each stop. Our bus driver (Eamonn Broderick) was a wealth of knowledge regarding the countries history, culture and each cities uniqueness. To say he was a total Professional is an understatement.

I enjoyed my 10 day tour with the my Ireland tour group, it was amazing seeing many of the beautiful country!

Due to Covid our planned trip to Ireland via 'My Ireland Tour' was postponed for two full years. Finally this September we said it was time to go and and we experienced one of the absolute best times using 'My Ireland Tour'. Accommodations, food sights and scenery were fantastic. The tour bus only allowed for 26 people so we could all space out and not feel cramped together. Our tour guide Eamonn was one of the highlights of our experience. His knowledge, wit and humor made our trip memorable. Kudos to 'My Ireland Tour' and to Eamonn for making the two year wait worth while!

What a fantastic 10-day tour of Ireland! Thank you to My Ireland Tour for creating such a well-organized and enjoyable tour, from the itinerary (well-paced and diverse) to the hotel accommodations and meals. My favorite kind of vacation, where I only need to show up and the rest is taken care of. Special thank you to Tom Lavin, our tour guide and driver, who made the visit especially fun and memorable. Lastly, thank you to everyone on the tour bus - it was a great experience to share with you all.

Having been on other tours, I can say this one is absolutely 5 stars. Our tour guide Sean was first class all the way; he is a fantastic historian with a near photographic memory, it seems. All the accommodations were terrific; they go above and beyond, truly giving you your money's worth.

I have never been on a tour of any description before but a friend of mine his Irish wife suggested that to do what I wanted to do I should book myself a seat on a coach tour, so the on the last day of May 2021 I booked myself on a My Ireland Tour (14days) for August this year. Did I get value for my money you bet I did Hotels were excellent Meals were superb Attractions visited well thought off Driver/ Guide Gaery the absolute best I have never been treated the way I and my fellow 25 travellers were before I felt like royalty. I’m already thinking of doing something similar next year location not sure possibly the United States Once again My Ireland Tours many many thanks

If you want to see a great representation of everything Ireland has to offer, you can't do better than My Ireland Tour! Our guide was Tony and he was terrific, making us feel welcome in this beautiful country right from the start. The tour itself was an amazing blend of culture, history, nature and fun! It was a perfect blend of scheduled tours and time to explore on our own. I have already recommended this tour to many of my friends and family! Thank you for making my first experience in Ireland so wonderful and memorable!

Took the 10 day tour. Our guide/driver Tom is AMAZING!!! He’s so nice and so funny!! The tour was well planned and well organized. I learned lots of interesting history and stories about Ireland from Tom. He even gave us a little good bye gift with map marked with places we went to and some local chocolate. Tom is the best!! Had a great time!! Highly recommend the tour!

September 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
We were very, very disappointed in this Castles tour. It consisted of mostly being in a bus from 9 to 6 on bad roads. The driver was very nice but he was not a guide and usually did not go into any sites. We were told the bathroom in the bus was for emergency only. We did stay in two castles, one that was not set up for travelers, ie, tiny or moldly rooms. It was an hour and a half from anywhere. The other was Abbeyglen which was FABULOUS. it appears this company just outsources a driver/bus so doesn't really plan much but staying in two castles two nights. The Rock of Cashel was outstanding due to the guide there.

Ron and I would highly recommend Ireland Tours! Our driver/guide was Enda. He was informative, caring and funny. We enjoyed Enda as much as we enjoyed the beautiful landscapes he took us to. We had a rough start at the Dublin airport. Had to wait 2 1/2 hours for our luggage. Enda soon made us forget our troubles by taking us to a quaint pub in the middle of nowhere. Ron and I consider Enda a true friend and we wish him all the best and many blessings. Hope to see him again someday. SLAINTE!! Your new friends, Ron & Diana

I thank my lucky stars that I chose My Ireland Tour to fulfill my long held dream of visiting Ireland. Ireland and its people were as amazing and wonderful as one always hears. But this Tour led by its driver/guide, Tom Lavin, was exceptional. Well organized, very informative, superb destinations, nicely paced, high quality accomodations and meals… it was a priceless experience. Tom's passion for his country and his unbelievable breadth of knowledge about it made for a tour I will never forget.

Beautiful top of the line accommodations! Great scenery. This is a classy operation. We loved our tour Guide, George. He was so accommodating. We had been traveling for 3 months so we had more luggage than the porters would handle in the hotel. So George arranged so we could store extra luggage on the bus. Also, there were several people on the trip who kept leaving personal items behind such as rings and purses. George ensured that other tour guides in the area were able to retrieve the items and then we picked them up at the next stop. What a great experience!!
Jeanette Shimeld
September 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
Wonderful trip & Michael was a great tour leader. Trip was all I could hope for, history, beautiful sights, comfortable roomy bus, high quality accommodation - though at times lots of walking to get to rooms - I suppose this can be expected when you get to stay in a castle! Meals good, only suggestion would be to possibly make days a little shorter to avoid rush to meet dinner times. Nothing was too much trouble for Michael, he was always well prepared for the day & despite some challenging situations he maintained a friendly, professional attitude throughout the entire trip Lots of jokes & excellent camaraderie. Thoroughly recommend the trip

We enjoyed our Ireland tour immensely, lover the castle accommodation and dropped two day excursions to enjoy the luxury facilities eg massage jacuzzi golf. We thought the driving was a bit long a couple of days even though our driver Colm tried to keep us entertained with his vast knowledge of the land and history. They do talk a bit funny though like you don't say 'yes' you respond with 'I'. We recommend My Ireland Tour and our driver/guide Colm.

Our visit to Ireland was fantastic due to the great planning of My Ireland Tour. We had a wonderful time, made many memories seeing the points of interest that Ireland is well known for. Our driver/tour guide, Tony, was phenomenal! He was most personable, humorous and shared in-depth knowledge about Irish history. Also, quite skilled at driving the tour bus on the many narrow roads. The tour bus was comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. All the hotel accommodations were comfortable, the breakfasts were hearty with a variety of food selections, the dinners were complete from starters to dessert. You did not leave the table hungry. The group of people on the tour soon became friends. By the end of the trip e-mail addresses were exchanged. We are looking forward to our next trip, it will be My Ireland Castle Tour. Thank you My Ireland Tour for making our trip to Ireland most memorable.

My family and I took the 10 day Ireland tour staying in castles and manor homes all the way. What a great trip and tons of fun. Only 14 on the bus so there was plenty of room to spread out. Colum our tour guide was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable . It was a good pace and we did cover a lot of territory with beautiful scenery along the way. Mid week we were able to visit the village of Cong (on our own) to visit where they filmed The Quiet Man,and we didn't miss any of the tour. I highly recommend this trip. We had a great bunch of people on this trip so it made it all so memorable .

August 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
Our six-day tour of Ireland was the best travel adventure of my life!!! Absolutely the best! The itinerary ticked off so many places we wanted to see in Ireland. The pace was brisk . . . but, it had to be in order to fit so many places in. Best of all was our tour guid/driver, George. He truly cared about every single person on board and how they were doing. He was extremely professional is how he carried out his responsibilities. George managed each and every day and every single stop so well. It helped keep us on track and that allowed us to do more. We were a little skeptical about signing on for a tour (we usually manage everything ourselves); however, this tour allowed us to gaze out the window and take in the beautiful scenery while someone else dealt with the twisty and turning roads. We never had to think about parking. If the cost of the tour only covered transportation I would have been a satisfied customer . . . but, this provided so much more. Comfortable hotel accommodations, travel information, history of Ireland, and much much more! We couldn't be happier with our experience!

What an amazing 10 days with Tony, our delightful & caring tour guide & driver. He was funny, charming, entertaining, a walking encyclopedia, kind & flexible. He never failed to check with each of us constantly to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. This tour was so comprehensive and thorough. We had a delay at the crystal factory and had very little time in Adare (which I had become very enamored with 4 yrs ago), but visiting Cong was right up there on my bucket list & I'm so grateful to Tony for that experience. I knew this would be the right tour for me and my best friend, and I was absolutely right!!

The castle stays were fabulous - beautiful grounds, gourmet food, excellent service. The K Club was the poshest, most luxurious hotel we've ever stayed in - and we've stayed in hundreds.

We have just returned from our 14 day tour and have had an amazing trip. The hotels were of a high standard with no lengthy check ins. Cases were unloaded and reloaded for us every time. Three choices for starter and main courses at each meal. Food was generally very good. Breakfast was usually buffet style and had plenty of choice.The tour itself was excellent and took us to a huge variety of places to suit everyone on our bus. Our driver/guide Garry was very knowledgeable and was very patient and helpful.I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a full Irish experience.

We organized a private tour with My Ireland Tour for our 3 generation family of 8 using one of their 9 pasenger vans with guide/driver Michael Coleman. Everything worked out perfectly- Michael was prompt, courteous, very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. The hotel selections were excellent- always centrally located and Michael picked wonderful lunch stops and made very appropriate recommendations for evening dining. We were worried the van would be cramped for tall party members but it worked out great- lots of legroom, very comfortable with onboard wifi and usb ports. All in all a great experience and a very memorable trip! We would highly recommend My Ireland Tour and the services of Michael and Eric O'Gorman= our main contact with the company

The Blarney Stone but no Blarney! We were first timers on this tour and very impressed. As someone of Irish parentage I was worried the tour might turn out an artificial 'touristy' experience but was very pleased - I felt we had an authentic taste of Ireland and our guide Pat was lovely, knowledgeable and organised. Hotels were excellent and we saw a lot of Ireland. All in all a great holiday.

Finally got to take our 2020 covid trip to Ireland. This company was really helpful to get us postponed and then refunded and then re-booked throughout. Once we finally got there our small personal genealogy tour through the non-touristy parts of Ireland was fantastic. Ken was our guide and he was fun, knowledgeable and flexible. The Leslie Castle was new for this tour and well worth the stop, 4 star Michelin meal. Overall, so glad we finally got there and would use this company again and again!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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 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.

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!
Brian Wilcox
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!

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.
Sam Clark
July 2022 • My Ireland Tour Package
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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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!
Stephen Hawke

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Everything we requested was planned out with precision! Our driver, Patrick, was amazing!! He was professional, timely, knowledgeable and made our trip memorable. Kristel was able to coordinate alternate plans very quickly when weather interfered with our plans. Would highly recommend this company.

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.

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 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 first visit to Ireland. I can’t say enough about our tour guide Tony. Was absolutely wonderful!! His knowledge throughout the tour was amazing along with his beautiful voice when singing Irish songs . Thank you for a great vacation!! Would recommend the 10 day tour to everyone.

My cousin and I booked this 10-day tour and would do it again in a heartbeat! Harry (our driver) was the absolute BEST. He was extremely knowledgeable and was extremely positive and energetic during the entire tour. You are able to see all the highlights of Ireland while not worrying about driving, parking, meals, overnight stays, etc. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

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.

The guide Pat Cooney was fantastic great driver and outstanding guide. He was informative cheerful and entertaining he even sung Irish songs for us. The accommodations were first class and the tours were varied and informative. We learned a lot about the Irish people and their customs. This is our second My Ireland tour we highly recommend this company.

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!!!
