Private Tours of Ireland

Claire did a fantastic job helping us plan our tour. It was so nice to customize our trip to accommodate our specific needs. Also, our driver Brian was splendid. He was as nice as can be!! He would pull over at a moments notice when we saw photo opportunities. I would recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone planning a vacation to Ireland and if I go back, I would definitely use them again.

Our group of eight just returned from a 10 day tour around Ireland. Catriona was excellent and very responsive with any questions and changes we requested, so we were off to a great start! Our driver Paddy was just exceptional, he was so knowledgeable and kept us entertained with music and stories the entire trip. He suggested a couple of side trips that weren't on our itinerary, and they turned out to be some of our favorite stops! I would highly recommend My Ireland when you are booking your trip to Ireland!

September 2025 We were 2 couples on a maiden 12-day private tour through southern Ireland organized by My Ireland Tour and guided by Aisling Fleming. From the planning stages of our trip to the hotel reservations and all the way to the site visits, we've found My Ireland Tour very well organized and very responsive to our needs! As for our guide Aisling, she was simply be exceptional! Aisling’s warm personality, great sense of humor, and kind attention to details, coupled with her passion about Ireland, her knowledge of its history and culture, and her desire to share its many gems along the way have made our trip a very precious and memorable experience, one for us to treasure for years to come! Thanks a million Aisling and My Ireland Tour!

We have been home for a week since our Ireland vacation. It truly was a vacation for me. I am usually the vacation planner. Fortunately I contacted My Ireland Tour and after discussing some of the things we would like to see, Catriona set everything up for our group of eight. She took care of everything - hotels, ticket attractions, etc. We flew into Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic to watch my alma mater Iowa State University play Kansas State University. The day after the game, Charles, our driver and guide picked us up at our hotel to begin our 5 day/5 night tour of Ireland. Charles was a gem! I could truly sit back, relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. No taking wrong turns, getting lost or driving on the wrong side of the road. Due to Hurricane Erin causing rough waters our boat tour to Cliff of Moher was cancelled but Charles found an alternative activity for us. On the last day of our tour we decided to alter our plans. We asked Charles to take us somewhere for Oysters in the Galway area. Not only did he take us to a great restaurant, he called ahead and got us a private room. We appreciated all the history/facts and recommendations he shared along our journey. He dropped us off at the Shannon airport on the 6th day. We covered a lot of ground during our 5 days. Thanks to Catriona and Charles for making it a memorable trip!

Our group of 9 had the absolute best time touring Ireland with My Ireland Tour. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. I worked with Catriona to help set up the initial plan. Every single thing we had hoped to see and do was accommodated -- and more. Thanks to some other recommendations, we even made a few additional stops along the way. The bus we traveled in was comfortable which made our time on the road viewing the countryside enjoyable. The hotels we stayed in were excellent -- comfortable and with amazing customer service. Ireland was breathtaking but what truly brought our trip to life was our guide, Paddy. He had a deep knowledge about Irish history and culture and brought a great sense of humor that made the trip engaging. We even got him cheering for our KState Wildcats! We would absolutely recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone looking to explore Ireland and beyond. And if you're lucky enough to have Catriona help plan and Paddy as your guide, you're in for an incredible journey. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two tours with My Ireland Tours. Our first tour was a private tour with Ray, our driver, and it was fantastic. Our second tour was a bus tour with Harry as our driver. Both Ray and Harry were very informative and entertaining. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Keith and Shannon were very responsive to our needs. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

Highest praise for MyIreland Tour and-specifically for our guide Jer Murphy. With grace and wit, Jer navigated, orchestrated and at times narrated 12 wonderful days through Ireland. While making sure he remained responsive to our travel preferences, Jer took us to many lesser traveled venues which became highlights of our trip. We felt in good hands the entire 12 days, and learned so much about Irish culture and history .

My husband and I had a private 12 day tour of Ireland with two close friends. We saw the beautiful country and learned so much about its history both from our wonderful driver and guide, Ger Murphy, and from the unique locations we visited.

Just finished a 6 lady private 8 day tour. Jerome was our guide, he was very knowledgeable, punctual, courteous, and made the trip fun. Bus great, hotels were over the top, sights in package was amazing. Would use this company again.

This group of people are kind and professional experts in this field. Catriona is a true pro. We had questions, she answered... immediately. Her answers were perfect. We had Deirdre as a guide. I wish there were 6 stars available. Knowledgeable, accommodating, great sense of humor, and an excellent driver. We learned so much about the lovely people of Ireland past and present. We can't possibly recommended MyIreland tours any more highly than we do. Please contact them if you're even thinking about visiting Ireland. Sláinte!!

We had an amazing trip touring around Ireland for 10 days with 16 family members. My Ireland Tour was wonderful to work with during the initial phase of creating our personal itinerary. Catriona listened to all of my suggestions and was very accommodating. The trip itself was seamless and our guide/driver Patrick (Paddy) Smyth was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and help give us the best trip possible. He listened when we made suggestions and accommodated us when he could. His history telling was captivating for all age groups and he never seemed to mind our millions of questions. Paddy even helped us with dinner reservations, which was no easy task with a party of 16. The pride he had in his country and heritage was palpable. We started with a guide and left with a friend. Ireland exceeded all of our expectations and My Ireland Tour helped make our dream vacation possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently completed a 7-day private tour of Ireland with My Ireland Tour, and it exceeded all expectations! Our group of seven included teens and seniors, and the customized itinerary was perfect for everyone. Booking was simple and efficient, and the tour bus was incredibly comfortable and spacious—ideal for the many hours we spent exploring the country. It’s amazing how much of Ireland you can see in just 7 days with the right planning! The absolute highlight of our trip was our driver and guide, Jim Harris. From the moment we met him, he brought warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of Ireland’s history and culture. By the end of the tour, Jim felt like part of our family. He was flexible, engaging, and always went the extra mile to make each day special. We were truly sad to say goodbye. We highly recommend My Ireland Tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to travel with Jim. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

I recently ended my 6 day private tour of Ireland using My Ireland Tour. My group had 4 people in it. The itinerary was well organized and each day was full of interesting stops and views. The best part of the journey was our guide Brian Kelly. Not only was he knowledgeable but was funny and kind. He adjusted to our personal interests and needs and made each day that much better. You can hear the passion he has for his country and all the beauty it holds. We stayed mostly in the Kingdom of Kerry. The breakfast offered at the hotels were excellent with lots of choices and quality products. We often went to dinner at places Brian had recommended and were never let down. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tourif you have an interest in seeing the most of Ireland in a short period of time and if you’re lucky enough to have Brian as your tour guide, it’ll be that much better

We enjoyed our tour with My Ireland Tour very much. We were a family tour of 11 ranging in ages 9 to 67. The communications between the tour operator Catriona and myself were spot on. We had a wonderful driver and guide, Paddy, who went above and beyond expectations to include an art museum for our granddaughter, and to pick up a few of our group when they become lost in Dublin. We thought our itinerary was well organized, all entrance fees taken care of in advance, and very diverse to ensure everyone had a great vacation. The hotel properties were lovely and within walking distance of the lively high streets and nightlife. Our final dinner at The Merry Ploughboy was a ton of fun, with our grandson being pulled up on stage to dance with the Irish dancers. We thought it was a very good value and would highly recommend this tour company!

Wonderful visit. My Ireland Tours did a great job not overwhelming us with stops. We saw a lot and never felt rushed. Very relaxing. Our personal tour guide, Pat Noonan, was outstanding! Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, punctual and just a great guy. We plan on visiting again and will definitely use this company.

I cannot even put into words how wonderful this tour of Ireland was for my sister and myself! It was a stellar experience from the beginning - it setting it up with Eric to meeting the driver and guide, Ben Sullivan, at our host hotel. The coach was magnificent, very comfy and we had lots of stops to break up the driving. Everything on the tour was above our expectations! The hotels were true luxury hotels, all four and five star!! We saw more of Ireland, and learned so much history from our driver and the guides that we learned on our own when we visited Ireland before! At no time were we rushed, or over-tired - and I have dreams of the incredible menus of the hotels, and the breakfast buffets were top-notch. I'm ready to book another tour, as long as it's with My IrelandTours! I was very, very impressed.

Claire, Tim and Brendan produced a two week trip to Ireland that was flawless. They are delightful people to work with. My wife and I took a week long tour of western Ireland and the Dingal peninsula with Tim. He is a wonderful driver/guide and we truly enjoyed his company. The accommodations were excellent and the breakfasts provided were delicious. Brendan drove us and seventeen other family members in a tour bus over the ring of Kerry and other places for a week. He is a marvelous driver and tour guide. Again, the accommodations were great. We plan on returning to Ireland and will absolutely work with these very professional and delightful people.

Eric and Claire worked with us for months to get this tour right and it delivered 100%. We have a fantastic cross-island tour from Dublin to Killarney with a superb driver (Joe) and an easy experience at every stop. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

We booked a 9 day private tour of Northern Ireland and Ireland and were so pleased and impressed with My Ireland Tours from start to finish. Catriona was knowledgeable and easy to work with managing all details and organizing an excellent tour for us. The planning and booking process was clear and transparent at every step – and the entire trip went smoothly from start to finish. Our tour provided us the chance to see so much of the beautiful Irish countryside, visit historic sites and enjoy our own free time at all of our stops. Our driver Brian was exceptional – he went out of his way to make sure we had an outstanding experience and ensured that we were well taken care of. We enjoyed getting to know him and learning about Ireland in the process. It was a dream trip that felt like a true vacation – free of any stresses or worries and filled with wonderful experiences and quality family time together. I highly recommend My Ireland Tours and would refer friends and family without hesistation.

Our trip planned by My Ireland Tour was absolutely magical! Catriona crafted our private tour itinerary that went beyond expectation. From the hotels we stayed, to the museum reservations, everything was prepared and flawlessly executed. She even incorporated time for us to visit our family in Antrim. Our driver/tour guide, Donal, was the BEST! He was always on time, flexible when we wanted to make adjustments to our schedule, had great recommendations and so friendly that we all miss him. I will absolutely use My Ireland Tour for our next trip back. I should note that I am a high-maintenance traveler with elevated expectations for hotels, transport vehicles and service. There was nothing on this trip that I could "ding" as a negative.

Our 7 day private tour was outstanding, fantastic and amazing. It started with us providing My Ireland Tour with dates and some must see stops and activities. A few days later we were provided with a proposed itinerary which filled in additional activities after accommodating our items. Everything was planned out meticulously and we could not have been happier. From the moment our driver, Patrick C., met us in the airport until the time we were dropped off at the airport, everyone in our 4 person party were very pleased with the sites, accommodations, driving skills and the informative conversation and suggestions he made. We left Ireland having seen a lot but knowing that there was much more to see and do. When we return we will definitely reach out to My Island Tour.

My husband and I took a private tour of Ireland with My Ireland Tour in early May. We had a fantastic time! Our experience was smooth from start to finish. Our driver/guide, David McMahon, was friendly, knowledgeable and a very safe driver. Our daily itinerary took us to breathtaking places we would never have seen on our own. We stayed in comfortable and charming boutique hotels. We would highly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone interested in visiting Ireland.

My husband and I did a private driving tour of Ireland for our honeymoon, and our experience was nothing short of incredible. Claire at My Ireland Tour was wonderful to work with on building our itinerary and handling our bookings. Our driver, Cass Foley, made our trip the amazing experience that it was. She is an outstanding driver and guide -- so knowledgeable, professional, and friendly! Cass took the initiative to contact each of our accommodations to let them know that we were on our honeymoon, and we received the most spectacular service because of it (which also speaks volumes for Ireland's wonderful hospitality in general). She also took the time to learn about our interests and made recommendations for additional activities and restaurants that she thought we would enjoy (which we did!!). Our car was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Every activity and accommodation on our itinerary was spectacular and accessible. We are so grateful for this dream vacation, and I can't imagine experiencing this beautiful country any other way than booking with My Ireland Tour.

I would definitely recommend My Ireland Tour! We booked a private 8-day Tour and our tour guide, Jerome, was absolutely amazing!! He was extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and was very flexible. He definitely felt like part of the family by the end of the tour. The private coach was the perfect size for our family of 5--it was a very comfortable way to travel and it was nice to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery instead of the stress of driving ourselves. Our family went to Ireland for my mom's 80th birthday and it was even better than she always dreamed it would be. I would definitely recommend a private tour for any family that needs the flexibility to travel at their own pace. Catriona worked with us to create an itinerary that worked for our family and we got to see so many beautiful places but were able to stay in each hotel for two nights so we could spend some extra time exploring some of our favorite cities. The hotels were all lovely and we would definitely recommend the Sheep Dog demonstration! We are so grateful to Jerome and My Ireland Tour for creating an amazing family vacation that we will never forget!!

I cannot say enough about our amazing family trip with My Ireland Tours! Kristel was such a pleasure to work with, helping me plan a six day private tour for my family of five from Dublin to Galway, Killarney, and Kinsale, with wonderful stops along the way. We traveled in comfort and style in our spacious Mercedes mini bus/van, and stayed in beautiful, high end hotels. We were constantly impressed with the level of service throughout our tour. Our driver, Dave Darby, made our trip extra special. He is a true professional, and from day one, we knew we were in good hands. We so appreciated his guidance, expertise, flexibility, wonderful suggestions, and warm sense of humor. Ireland is a beautiful and hospitable country. Thank you for making our visit simply perfect!

We chose the private guided tour and it was our BEST vacation ever!! Catriona was exceptional in customizing our itinerary down to the finest detail and ensured everything went smoothly and to our satisfaction. Our guide, Joe O’Connor, was incredible! Not only did he tell us the complete history about all the places we visited, but his sense of humor was delightful! He took great care to ensure our safety and comfort every step of the way. We found Ireland to be breathtakingly beautiful and its residents extremely warm and welcoming. We’re SO looking forward to returning!

We worked with Kristel 5 years ago to plan a trip to Ireland for our group of 30+. Our trip was set but COVID shut it down. When I called back last year to try again, Kristel was there and remembered our group. Kristel still had all our information and was great to work with designing a 10 day tour that even included a day of golf for some of us. Hotels, transportation and sight seeing stops were well organized. We traveled with a group of 32 friends and family, we left with an additional friend. Our driver John was a trip highlight, knowledgeable, funny and thoughtful. My Ireland tours came through to deliver a holiday we will talk about forever. Thank you!

From start to finish, our experience working with Keith from My Ireland Tour was carefree and wonderful. All questions were answered promptly and I feel he met all our needs for a beautiful trip through Ireland. We opted for a private tour which was a great decision. We decided when to leave in the morning and were able to adjust our itinerary, if requested. Our tour guide Ger was accommodating, extremely knowledgeable and gave us as much time as we needed to really embrace points of interest. Highly recommend Ger and My Ireland Tour for the best trip ever!☘️

We took a private 14 day tour. Hotels were nice, and our tour guide, Dave, was excellent!

I cannot thank Kristel, Joe, and My Ireland Tour enough for such a spectacular trip. Everything was so seamless! I couldn’t have imagined our vacation being any more perfect! Before the trip Kristel worked closely with me to make sure we would experience all the places important to our family. My husband I and took his parents to Ireland to celebrate his father’s 70th birthday. He is very interested in his ancestry, including great-grandfather’s birthplace and his journey to America. In addition to what we requested, Kristel suggested wonderful sites that we would never have known about such as the Dunbrody Famine Ship which is a replica of one of the many ships the Irish used to escape The Great Famine. Kristel was also flexible and responsive when we decided to add my two brothers-in-law to the itinerary midway through the trip as a surprise. Our driver guide Joe was absolutely phenomenal. He became one of the family, and we were sad to say goodbye at the end of our trip. His wonderful sense of humor and incredible knowledge of all things Irish dazzled us for days. He was incredibly flexible and was brilliant in suggesting many out of the way spots that we loved. His passion for Ireland is evident in everything he does. I hope our paths cross again soon. I’m already itching to get back to Ireland. And when I do, I know I’ll plan my trip with Kristel and be sure to request Joe as our driver guide!

We could not express our appreciation for our driver guide Joe enough. Not only was he our driver for our honeymoon, but became a friend. He is a kind, genuine soul with such a passion to the history and detail of ireland. He brought out the best of us right down to the singing sessions en route to the next adventure. We would recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you to Catriona for fullfilling our dreams and a special thank you to Joe for the magic moments. With much love from Canada

We had the most amazing trip. Our driver Dan Gallagher was wonderful. When we visit Ireland again we will ask for him to be our guide again. Working with Kristel on arrangements was very easy. She was great to work with as well. The tour company was professional and worked with the best hotels and businesses in Ireland. This was a family trip and we were able to do a private tour in a small bus, it was great. Thanks so much to everyone involved with our trip. The Facer Family

Catriona in the office of My Ireland Tours helped me plan and book a 16-day trip around the whole of the Irish isle that turned out wonderfully. Her choice of hotels and attractions were spot on, as was the pace of the tour. Plus, the very professional and fun Driver-Guide she provided, Ger Murphy, made our travel so much easier and enjoyable. We are two well-traveled couples in our mid-seventies who agree this was among our best trips ever. Ireland is breathtaking with warm and friendly folk, and My Ireland Tours is the travel agency to use if you're headed there.

Our "My Ireland Tour" was fantastic! We had a small private group - 6 women including mom, sisters & cousins. I worked with the planner to create a custom tour that included all our key destinations in the time-period we wanted. We met our driver and guide in Dublin, Dave, and he was wonderful. He brought us everywhere, provided historical information and stories of the past. It was a magical time! I would use them again in a heartbeat. We all highly recommend.

My family just returned from a fantastic trip! We would highly recommend using My Ireland Tour for trip planning. They were able to assist us with planning a private tour for our group of ten. Kristel was great working with us to get our tour schedule perfect! During our nine days we saw all the highlights of Ireland and stayed in beautiful 4-star hotels. Our driver (Patrick) was very knowledge and informative along the way.

Catriona planned a beautiful two week tour of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland for our party of four. The accommodations were all lovely. Brian Kelly was our extraordinary, knowledgable, personable driver. (He is a great singer, too.) A walking tour of Edinburgh with Joe Harrower is an absolute must. The Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, St. Andrew’s were just some of the highlights. The ferry ride to Belfast was a unique experience for us. The tour with Colleen in Derry was fascinating and informative, as well. Brian entertained us throughout Ireland. It was a trip of a lifetime for us.

We did a small group (6 people) 16 day tour of Scotland and Ireland. Accommodations booked by My Ireland Tours were really nice and some were spectacular. The itinerary was very full and we saw a lot more of both countries than we could have on our own. They are very flexible and easy to work with. Our driver Lorraine was great. Informative and flexible when we wanted to alter the itinerary slightly. She made getting around and getting into hotels a breeze. A really great experience

We booked a 10 day tour of Ireland and words cannot describe how wonderful this trip was. We worked with Kristel at My Ireland Tours, and she was absolutely a delight to work with. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and showed a great deal of patience with the 8 of us whom had never traveled to Ireland before. Our Private driver picked us up at the airport and took amazing care of us throughout the trip, tailoring the trip to our wants, and keeping us safe. A Huge shoutout for a job well done to Dave Darby, our driver/guide. He was humorous and made our group feel so very comfortable sightseeing in Ireland. I can tell you I certainly would not want to drive down those roads. Dave added so much to the context of our trip that we would never have gotten had we driven ourselves. Every single person on the trip was so impressed with Dave! We headed west from Dublin to Galway, next to Connemara, then to the Cliffs, then on to Dingle. We went to Killarney, then to Blarney and Kinsale. Back towards Dublin we saw Cahir and Rock of Cashel. We were so very tired, but had the time of our lives. Don't hesitate to try a private tour, or certainly one of their regular tours. My Ireland Tours is a wonderful tour company to work with. No surprises. Perfect planning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ireland! We booked a private tour with My Ireland Tour and were able to build an itinerary that suited our plans. Our driver/guide, Steven, was wonderful. As a matter of fact, he went out of his way to accommodate all of our requests. Two of the travelers were able to get in contact with relatives in Killarney, Sneem and Cloghane. They were thrilled with the opportunity to connect with them. Every day of our trip was perfect - from Dublin, traveling across Ireland to Killarney and all the tours involved. We couldn't have done it so successfully without the help of My Ireland Tour.

We couldn't be happier with our My Ireland Tour vacation. Our group of 8 booked a private coach tour with Kristel handling the itinerary. We visited Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland in our 13 days there. Our guide/driver was John Dennany and he was fantastic. He took excellent care of us at each stop, provided us with historical facts of the countries we visited and we all loved his wit and humor. The hotels were beautiful, the food was great (you won't go hungry!) and a couple of attractions included in our itinerary not to be missed are Kerry Falconry, Joyce Country Sheep Dogs and the dinner show at the Merry Ploughboys theater. Our local guides that joined us in the big cities added another dimension that we all appreciated. Thank you to My Ireland Tour. You will be highly recommended!

6 of us booked an 8-night private tour of Ireland with My Ireland Tours. It could not have gone better. We worked with them before booking to develop an itinerary. They booked all the accommodations and provided us with a driver/guide, in our case Cahel, who did an outstanding job touring us around and providing in-depth history and local knowledge. We felt the price was very reasonable for the first-class accommodations, including a castle stay! All breakfasts were included and 3 outstanding dinners. Our vehicle was a deluxe 9-passenger Mercedes Sprinter configured for each person to have a single window seat. We all had a clear view of the stunning scenery and plenty of room to spread out. True professionalism from everyone we worked with to put this trip together, I Highly recommend.

My husband and I took the most absolutely beautiful tour of Ireland with 6 of our closest friends. We traveled the countryside in our comfortable mini-Mercedes coach with the most knowledgeable, friendly and fun tour guide Mick! Mick's stories, historic information, personality, and awesome seafood chowder recommendations were the BEST! We covered so much in 8 days from Dublin to Kildare to Killarney to Galway City back to Dublin and all the iconic places along the way! The accomodations (hotels and castles) were comfortable and beautiful with the friendliest staff! We wouldn't have changed a thing and highly recommend My Ireland Tours!

Just arrived home from the 7 day Ireland tour with a private driver, Joe O’Connor. We had an absolutely incredible time. Joe was the definition of professional. He was punctual, courteous, full of great information, and provided us with a wonderful time. He adjusted our tour as we wanted and needed and provided expert recommendations. We highly recommend Joe and My Ireland Tours.

10/10 !!! 100% definitely recommend My Ireland Tour with tour guide John McSweeney. Our 10-day family tour of Ireland was an EXTRAORDINARY adventure. Ireland was beautiful and John’s flexibility and responsiveness to our families interests made every moment enjoyable. We had a special day for our daughter’s engagement and John was one of the family celebrating the joy. John’s knowledge and engaging storytelling brought Ireland’s history and culture to life. He tailored the experience just for us, making it both educational and entertaining. A top-notch guide! Top-notch trip of a lifetime for our family of seven. Tim McK and fam

My best friend and I recently returned from the most magical first time visiting Ireland for a 10-day tour with My Ireland Tours. We still feel like we are in a dream and have no words to describe the outstanding time we had. From the start, this experience was perfect. We were able to work with the kindest trip coordinator, Eric O’Gorman, to build on an itinerary that suited our hopes and dreams. The accommodations were superb and we were so well taken care of. Our driver and guide, Ger Murphy, was everything. He made this the most unforgettable trip, from his endless knowledge and expertise to his kind and thoughtful recommendations and care for us. We truly miss spending our days laughing and learning with him. This was the trip of a lifetime! We highly recommend traveling with this company and cannot wait to return! THANK YOU!

Prior to the trip, Catriona did a masterful job arranging hotels, sites to visit with tickets, and the driver. She frequently communicated with us prior to the trip and we were demanding. Our driver Pat Carroll was the best, friendly and organized. Thanks for help us follow our dreams.

Though my planned itinerary was blown up when my friend with whom I was traveling come down with COVID, Catriona, our contact at My Ireland Tours, and our driver/guide Joe were superb in adjusting everything to allow us to salvage some time in Cork before we headed back to the US. I would recommend them for customizing your tour of the country.

We had an amazing 2 week private trip through Scotland and Ireland arranged by My Ireland Tour. Everything from the hotels/castles booked, to the tours arranged, to the vehicle provided everything was top notch. Our driver/guide, Charles, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great vacation. He was knowledgeable and professional and his little stories about some of the places we visited made it so memorable. 💙

We had a fabulous trip with My Ireland Tours. We took an eight person tour, all women in my family. Lorraine was our guide and she took very special care of us giving us lots of good information, making a few little adjustments as needed or as wanted. The extra attention to detail that Lorraine provided made our trip more than pleasant. Every hotel we stayed in was comfortable and in a good location. Favorite stops for us were Killarney and our overnight in Castle Kinnity. I can’t say enough great things about this tour in this tour company. Catriona was great at helping us plan our tour and customizing it to our needs. I would definitely recommend this company and our tour guide Lorraine, to anyone and in fact I already have.

Loved our tour with Lorraine Dennany as our driver! She was full of history, Irish language and such a pleasure we want to adopt her into our family! Saw so much in our one week, left us wanting to return for sure. Happy we chose to go with the private tour - well worth it. Thank you for everything MyIrishTours! Seamless from start to finish!

I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with 15 of my family members. The our driver David was the perfect leader for our cheeky family!

We did an 8 day custom tour with My Ireland accompanied by family and friends. Everything was excellent, we saw and learned about all of the places we intended to see plus many additional sights. Our Driver/Guide, Ben S. was fun, informative and patient, we were in more than capable hands. All of the hotels were beautiful as was Ireland itself. If they did this type of tour in other countries we’d definitely use them again and again.

My Ireland Tour was perfect for our first trip to Ireland! From the initial planning stages with Eric to our daily travels with Jerome, everything was timely, well organized, well done, and just as advertised. Jerome was insightful, most thoughtful, had a great sense of humor, and took such good care of us. He was especially great with our boys, who just adored him. The mini coach was also first class and a perfect fit for our group. Highly, highly recommend My Ireland Tour. Thank you so much!

From the initial contact with Catriona in the office to the final goodbye to Philip Butterly, our outstanding driver and guide, this trip exceeded expectations in many ways. We were able to work with Catriona to create a custom itinerary for our group of 14 and from the get-go she listened to what we wanted and incorporated everything we asked for, making suggestions based on her expertise. Our ten day trip was busy, we had two nights in three cities, which was great. There was a fair bit of time on the coach, but it was comfortable and plenty big for us to spread out. The company was on top of every little detail to make our time amazing. We chose to explore Dublin on our own and started and ended with a night there so we could do our own thing since the city is easily accessible. That let us devote the time with Philip to other cities including Kilkenny, Kinsale, Killarney, Cobb, Galway and all the in betweens. The group’s fave area was Kinsale….thanks My Ireland Tour!

We had a fabulous time on our 8 day tour of the Republic of Ireland. Kristel curated a perfect trip for our 7 family members— noting our preferences and adding other suggestions. Our guide Pat O’Gara was fun, knowledgeable and had tons of great suggestions for additional activities and places to eat or see trad music. Our accommodations were gorgeous and the countryside and towns were stunning. If the pre planned group trips don’t work for your schedule or interests, definitely ask about a bespoke tour. My Ireland Tours made it so easy and affordable. (Other Ireland and US based companies I tried were not as flexible or prohibitively expensive) We are already thinking ahead about a tour of Scotland with My Irish Tours!

We did a 5 day private tour of Northern Ireland with stops in Belfast, Derry, Sligo and many off the beaten path choices along the way. Our tour was specifically curated to us and we were able to see everything we wanted. Our driver, who wasn' t as familiar with northern ireland as the south, still managed to get us everywhere we needed to be with some fun craic along the way. Was a great experience.

We had an amazing trip with our guide David. We loved having a schedule and felt that we were able to see a good portion of this beautiful country. David took us to some spots that we never would have found on our own. Being able to relax and look out the windows of our private coach without having to worry about driving or where we needed to go added so much enjoyment to the experience. With a group of 6, having an itinerary was essential. I would highly recommend this company and David to anyone. What a great trip!!

My Ireland Tour was a great experience! Keith was very thorough from booking a year in advance. Communication was key. I traveled with a group of 28 friends on a private bus with our own tour guide.Seamous was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Your dad stayed with you at your hotel and took care of every detail. I would definitely feel comfortable booking with this group again.

My Ireland Tour is a spectacular company! I'd emailed in May 2023 for a June 2024 trip, and Kristel O'Connor became my tour planner. I'd never traveled and wanted to visit my grandmother's homeland. I had so many questions and ideas, and Kristel went above and beyond to answer everything and plan a wonderful and practical trip---if it hadn't been for Kristel, I would've been all over and aimless! We visited Dublin and had highlights at Trinity College (The Book of Kells! The Long Room!) and the Guinness Storehouse. We went to Roscommon and saw my great-grandmother's home before going to Knock Shrine (maginificent)! Galway, Kylemore Abbey, feeding sheep, meeting Connemara ponies, climbing all through Bunratty Castle, and relaxing at Durty Nellie's before climbing the Cliffs of Moher just doesn't get any better! The hotels were beyond anything I could have imagined (the Gresham in Dublin, The Galmont in Galway, and the Armada in County Clare on the water). Additionally, My Ireland Tour's website for itinerary and payment is VERY organized, which is extremely helpful and lets you see everything. Finally, our driver, Dave Darby, was just the best! We laughed all week, learned a lot, and had great transportation. There's a reason he is "King of the Road"! The van holds 9, and the 8 of us had plenty of room and comfort. As a first-time traveler and an overthinker, I cannot say enough good things about My Ireland Tour. Everything was taken care of, excluding lunch and dinner, which helped me budget for the trip and just enjoy without the concern of figuring out all of tickets for individual stops, hotel rooms, transportation. This is truly a company focused on personalization!

Our trip to Ireland was so expertly arranged by our tour company to explore so much of the island in a short amount of time. Our tour guide, Ben Sullivan, has to be their best guide. He filled us with history, Irish music, jokes, and sang for us. And, he found us pixies when we were lost. I loved Londonderry/derry. There, we had an amazing guide, also. He kidded that he was an Irish Buddhist. Cliffs of moher are spectacular, Killarney , ring of Kerry, the wild Atlantic way, and Dublin, and the rolling countryside were awesome. As my distant grandmother was kidnapped off the coast of county cork, I was very much interested in the history of the island. It was a trip I will always remember

We just got back from a week long private tour of Ireland using My Ireland Tours and I cannot recommend them enough. The whole process was enjoyable from start to finish! Working with Eric on the itinerary was so easy and enjoyable! I gave him a list of the few things we wanted to see and he was able to come up with the perfect itinerary for us. Before our tour, 3 of us flew into Dublin for one night, then headed to the Isle of Man for a week. Eric was able to add a hotel for that that first night and found a way to have the hotel hold all our luggage for the week we were on the Isle of Man because we couldn't take it all with. On our way back from the Isle of Man, the ferry booking took us to Belfast and I tried to find public transportation to get us back to Dublin to meet up with the rest of our group. The timing wasn't working out so last minute, Eric was also able to find us a private car to get from Belfast back to Dublin. He is a hero in my book! Once we started our private tour, it was non-stop laughter! Our driver, Joe was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, answered all our annoying questions, and fit right in with our sarcastic, (sometimes rambunctious) jolly crew. I have not recovered from all the laughter and learned so much about the history and current events of Ireland. We felt completely safe and at ease during the entire trip knowing Joe was with us. The bus was comfortable - reclining seats, USB chargers, wi-fi, and lots of space. If/when we go back, I will definitely be using My Ireland Tours for all my needs. They're the absolute best!

We did a private tour with My Ireland Tour of Belfast and Londonderry in May 2024. There were 6 of us in our group. Our driver, Patrick was right there at the Dublin Airport to pick us up and we were on our way. The Sprinter Van was comfortable and nice to have at our disposable during our stops. Eric, and his company organized everything beautifully. We loved Belfast and Londonderry even more. The private tour guides that Eric used for specific tours we requested were excellent. The hotels that we stayed at in Belfast (Europa Hotel) and Londonderry (Shipquay Boutique Hotel) were fabulous. Our rooms were spacious and beautiful. I have used My Ireland Tour in the past and again they did not disappoint. I HIGHLY recommend My Ireland Tour for a fabulous trip. Thank you again Eric and your team. Kathy and the rest of the group.

We recently returned from our family trip to Ireland. Keith worked with us to plan an itinerary that hit everything we wanted to see and experience. Our guide, Pat, could not have been more fun and informative. He even suggested a few things not on our itinerary as we traveled along and every suggestion was a win!!! We truly had a trip of a lifetime and wouldn't hesitate to recommend My Ireland Tour company...or schedule another trip back.

An amazing experience, made possible first of all by Catriona, who was amazing at helping us make the best use of our time in Ireland with great planning, dealing with our ever changing needs and amazing service orientation. David our driver was essence of Irish Friendship. Great knowledge of the sites we were visiting over the 8 days and great sense of humor

We had a wonderful trip on our first time to Ireland. Catroina and her team were very flexible as we planned our private tour. They gave us an itinerary to start with and we were able to make some adjustments to get in more of what we wanted to see. Our driver, Dave Darby, was THE BEST. We loved his sense of humor and he was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. By the end of the trip, he was a part of our family and we already miss him.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Ireland. The country is beautiful. Mic our driver took us to many areas others in larger tour buses don't have access too, especially in the Connemara and Kerry area. We enjoyed Mics company and recommend him for future tours. I would also highly recommend the smaller private tours.

From the outset the My Ireland Tour group treated us like family. They worked closely with us (my wife and me) to determine what we hoped to see and do and worked that into a clear and comfortable plan for our two weeks around the Emerald Isle. And our driver Ger Murphy was both a truly learned historian and a fantastic stand-up (well, sit down) comedian, in equal measure. We could not have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend this wonderful group to choreograph your dream.

We just had a trip of a lifetime! Our tour was meticulously planned and was perfectly curated to maximize every moment of our time in Ireland. Our driver, Keith, was dynamite! First and foremost, I never once felt nervous on the small, twisty roads in the van. Keith shared lots of wonderful information about the beautiful country and did everything he could to make sure we had a fantastic trip! 10/10 would recommend Keith and My Ireland Tour!

This is hands down the best way to explore Ireland. Our guide Cathal, was extremely knowledgeable on all parts of our tour and Ireland. He was also fun, yet professional. The tour was created based on our requests to see various areas of the Island in 9 days. Catriona not only delivered on an ideal agenda, but was very communicative with us throughout the process. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours to anyone interested in visiting Ireland.

This May, our family did a five day private tour with My Ireland Tour. The experience from start to finish was nothing short of wonderful between the tour itself and the staff involved. Catriona was attentive, helpful, timely and overall an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. Catriona made sure every detail of our itinerary was what we were looking for; and provided great options, suggestions and advice for our trip. Our driver-guide was Ken O’Connell, who certainly added to the memorable experience we had. Ken was very caring and kind to our family and shared his knowledge of history, storytelling and of course, his sense of humor with us. Ken also made sure we were taken care of at each hotel and attraction we visited. The tour itself was perfectly curated and offered a good mixture of experiences (National Famine Museum, Connemara, Sheepdog Demonstration, Kylemore Abbey, Hazel Mountain Chocolate Factory, Cliffs of Moher, Falconry, Ring of Kerry, Cobh Heritage Centre and more) while seeing much of Ireland; and while of course taking the scenic route. We visited Galway, Killarney, Dublin and other beautiful areas along the way. The tour also offered a nice balance as there was time each day to explore the areas on your own and before choosing your own dinner (the hotels were all centrally located). I would highly suggest My Ireland Tour as a must to anyone looking to discover Ireland and would absolutely tour with them again. The experience of having our driver-guide with a meaningful, personalized itinerary was unmatched.

My Ireland was great to work with. There was no pressure as we made a custom agenda. Claire was super accommodating. The pricing was fair and they worked through many details to make our journey enjoyable and a great experience. And we cannot say enough about our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Ireland and its rich history. He had great stories as we drove around the island to our various destinations. And he listened to our interests and made the trip very meaningful. I hope to visit again in a few years and will definitely request Patrick.

Our family group had a wonderful experience on our tour which was customized to the amount of time that we had and the areas we wanted to visit. Our tour guide, Pat Cooney, was a real treasure- very knowledgeable and a delightful person. The accommodations were wonderful. All breakfasts were included and one lunch and one dinner. We were on our own to explore on most evenings. For others doing this type of tour, I would suggest that you research restaurants in the towns you’ll be visiting and make reservations in advance. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

How do we even begin to rave about this entire tour? Let's start with Kristel O'Connor in the main office who was so helpful in helping us set the tour itinerary itself and the types of lodging we requested. After some slight changes, we found a perfect trip. My wife and I decided upon a private tour, and Kristel nominated David Breen as our guide. From the moment we met David in Dublin, he treated us with kindness, hospitality and flexibility. David is a true gentleman without whom we would have been completely lost. He ensured we accessed each site by walking us to the gate, and walked us to the hotel front desk every evening. I am NOT a good passenger, but David is a professional driver who I always felt safe as our guide, even braking well ahead of seeing a small cat on the side of the road well ahead of the car. If you're considering a tour of Ireland, please look no further than the fantastic folks at My Ireland Tour!

My family and I just got home from a 6-day tour on a private van with My Ireland Tours. I've been to Ireland 3 times before and this trip exceeded my expectations. The van was very clean and comfortable for all 8 of us. Our tour guide Mick was knowledgeable, funny and quick with his decision making when needed. We experienced extreme weather which made us change some of the itinerary, but Mick made every moment memorable. We were traveling with a few passengers that have mobility issues and he knew every step of the way how to guide us safely. I wouldn't change a thing about this trip, and I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

We were referred to My Ireland Tours by a friend who travelled with them last year. She told me I'd find Eric very easy to work with and that the tour was among her favorite travel experiences. She was right on both counts. With Eric, we were able to develop a tour that covered all of our key interests, plus he made some good suggestions. Importantly, everything was beyond smooth from day 1. Our driver/tour guide David Breen was top notch too. We highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

We had an amazing tour in Ireland. Kristel put together a great itinerary for our group of 15! She was always accessible thru email. Her correspondence and reminders for payments were appreciated. Hotels were very nice and centrally located.Tickets to all our tours were done and no waiting in any lines. Our tour guide Colm was fantastic! He was very informative and knowledgeable. We loved his sense of humor and made the drive a lot of fun. Thank you My Ireland Tour for a fantastic trip.

We spend 10 days exporing Ireland with our wonderful driver and tour guide Tim. We chose to have a small party tour of just 4 of us. It was probably the easiest trip we have been on where everything went smoothly. My Ireland Tours had picked great highlights of Ireland. It was the perfect Tour to pick when you have limited time for planning. The places we stayed at were also top notch.

Where to start! To begin, Kristel was super responsive when helping to plan our tour to Ireland. We chose the Ancient Ireland tour, with a few changes which Kristel facilitated with no problem. We were a group of 8 and chose to go with a private driver. We arrived in Ireland from the US a day before our tour started just to acclimate. The next morning Pat, our fabulous driver, picked us up from our centrally located Dublin hotel for our tour of Dublin, accompanied by Caroline our city guide. Caroline was a delight and very knowledgeable. The rest of our tour was spent with Pat. We love Pat! The amount of information he imparted whilst navigating the challenging roads of Ireland was amazing! When we wanted to change plans to perhaps stop somewhere, or even skip a stop, he went with the flow. Pat was unfailingly pleasant and fun, facilitated our tours at all our stops, and was really a pure joy. Our accommodations arranged by My Ireland were excellent. We were very happy with all of our hotels/manor houses. Finally, Ireland is an incredibly beautiful country, with very friendly people. My Ireland Tours by taking care of us so very well, allowed us to enjoy our trip even more than we expected. It was epic! We highly recommend My Ireland Tour Company.

We can’t say enough on how great our experience was with My Ireland Tour. Eric assisted in our booking a private driver and vehicle for our 11-day tour of Ireland. Eric answered all our questions and was timely with his responses back to us. I had narrowed our search to a few tour companies, but Eric’s follow through proved to be the difference in our decision. We also can’t say enough out our driver, Pat. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Pat was tremendous in keeping us on schedule, was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend some stops on our tour that really made our trip that much more special. We decided against a self-drive tour and after seeing Pat maneuver some of the narrow roads, we feel we made the right decision. If you’re considering a trip to Ireland, give these folks a try!

We just returned from a fabulous 10 day private tour. Our driver, Pat, is what made this experience so wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about all the beautiful sites we saw and answered all our questions. He was very flexible about stopping and making small changes when we asked. He often had funny stories to go along with the information that he gave us. We all thoroughly enjoyed his company. The hotels were all lovely, we especially liked Lough Eske Castle. I would definitely recommend MyIrelandTours and hope to use their services again in the futures.

4 of us had a driver and mini van for the dingle and ring of Kerry, Dublin and Galway. We did more of the ancient tour with a castle, a country manor house. The choice of hotel saw spot on… all with great locations and access to the sites. We particularly enjoyed a vast to the Aran islands off the Mohr cliffs coast. Galway and Killarney were our favorite areas. I had no idea where to go ad this company did an excellent job in taking us to Al of the sites. Highly recommend. I would not recommend driving yourself as the roads can be narrow and on the edge of cliffs. EXCELLENT trip, great company!

My Ireland Tours was absolutely incredible! From start to finish the process was seamless and so efficient. Claire helped me and my mom book our tour with them and answered every single question we had prior to our trip. Our tour guide and driver Dave was phenomenal. He was always on time each morning and listened to us if we wanted to do something or had a question. He was extremely informative regarding history and knowledge about all the different places we got to visit. My mom and I booked a private tour with this company and it was the best decision we made. We got to see so much of Ireland that we would not have been able to see if we did not book with them. Claire and Dave both made our trip that much more special so thank you. My mom and I are so happy with how everything turned out including my dream of getting to stay in a Castle! Dave introduced us to craic and we loved every moment of it! If anyone is thinking of booking a trip to Ireland and wants to see as much as you can in an orderly fashion book with this company! We were always where we needed to be, Dave was so organized even when he teased about where are we going LOL. He constantly told us this is our trip so if we wanted to spend more time somewhere we could. Truly an exceptional trip thanks to My Ireland Tour. Thank you for an amazing trip and wonderful memories!

Slainte' ! With the help of My Ireland Tour, we had a fantastic time in Ireland! They basically let us design the places and stops we wanted to make and then provided a driver to get us there! Our sweet driver, Pat, was knowledgable, accommodating and helpful! I was worried it may be awkward to be with a stranger for six days, but he was so sweet that we all missed him when he wasn't with us! The hotels were placed in the heart of the action each night so we could walk to shops, restaurants and pubs with ease or the need for additional transportation. Because My Ireland Tour had taken care of "tickets" for our pre-planned stops, it was delightful to have Pat escort us to the entrance, talk with the "gate keepers", and then pick us up when we were done. So many details that were "magically" done for us....parking, entrance fees/tickets, restaurant choices, AND we didn't have to worry about traffic, directions, getting gas, insurance etc!! The van was clean and comfortable as well. What's not to like!? 100% recommended! Additionally, My Ireland Tour, was careful not to cram too much into a single day. We ran into other groups that had to drop a stop or rush through because their tour hadn't been planned carefully. Pat said that My Ireland Tour is the best at making sure the day's pace is well-planned. We also ran into couples driving themselves through Ireland and they weren't sure the marriage was going to outlast the self-driven tour! 😉 If you're on the fence, jump off and onto My Ireland Tour!

What a lovely trip My Ireland Tour planned and executed for the Renzoni Family. The process of custom curating the trip for us was very easy. All staff were responsive and accommodating. John M, our Drive Guide was a very knowledgeable, obliging and capable driver and guide. He was just so pleasant each and every day! He worked at adapting the trip on the fly to accommodate both the weather (storm Agnes was quite a soaking!!) and personal requests. He also had very good restaurant recommendations when we were not sure where to have lunch or dinner.

We had a lovely tour of southern Ireland with My Ireland Tour. Eric did a great job customizing the tour for us and the 9 Seater van was super spacious and comfy to travel in. Our guide Noel was friendly and easy to chat with and full of information. All the places that we stayed were fabulous and the provided dinners we delicious. Highly recommend this tour company for any adventures in Ireland.

We enjoyed the 10-day family trip of a lifetime with My Ireland tours. We loved visiting tourist sites, but so special were the towns where our (great)grandparents were from and awesome off-the-beaten-track sites! Thanks to Catriona for working with us to set our specific itinerary. And -OMG-our driver-guide, Niall Wright, was extraordinary - so knowledgeable on sites, history, and culture. Many times we said, "wouldn't it be nice if..." Then Niall made it happen. He dealt calmly with the emotions of our little group - and the age range - from 27 to 70. On our end at least, Niall has become part of our family forever. Thank you!

Another great trip with “My Ireland”. This time a private group of 8 tour in Scotland. They made recommendations for all the best stops from Glasgow to Isle of Skye to Edinburgh with no less than 2 nights in each hotel. Our guide Colm Marshal was very entertaining and helpful. 10 Nights worked out great with the last 4 nights on our own in Edinburgh.

We booked a private tour for the end of June, in May we had to change the dates. We had no issues with the date changes the team was efficient and quick to help us out. We just finished our tour and it was amazing. Our tour guide Brian was extremely knowledgeable always prompt and a very nice guy . All the hotels were great! Beautiful hotels with king size beds very roomy hotel rooms. This was a perfect trip an excellent tour! I would 💯 recommend!

My Ireland put together a memorable tour for me and my sisters and our husbands. We saw all the must see spots and traced our grandparents and family roots. Our driver, David, could not have been more knowledgable , kind, funny and patient. He researched a memorial to our great uncle and took us to the exact spot. He took care to bring us to an off the beaten path town to visit a bar formerly owned by our grandfather’s family and meet cousins who showed us around. He persevered to find our grandmother’s childhood home and farm in a remote (and very beautiful) area and was as excited as we were to find it with only an old picture! We couldn’t be more grateful! This was a once in a lifetime and very special trip and we are thankful to My Ireland for helping us to arrange it!

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.

My niece and I just returned from a 12 day private tour. It was our first trip to Ireland and it was fantastic! Kristel did a wonderful job in organizing the tour to include our personal interests and our dirver-guide Ger Murphy was very knowledgeable and helpful in adding places of interest on our drives from city to city. Some highlights were Ballynahinch castle, Giants Causeway, the scenic back roads and Rock of Cashel. I would highy recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone planning a visit to Ireland.

My family just returned from a private 10 day tour, and it was an amazing trip. Eric was fantastic organzing our trip and communciated very well leading up to the trip, he is very quick to respond to all questions. Our guide Paddy was AMAZING, he was absoltely wonderful and I cannot thank him enough for taking such good care of us the entire trip. We learned so much and saw everything we wanted to see. His attention to detail really made the trip special. Personally I liked how Eric and Paddy organized the trip so that we saw a little of everything, both big cities and also quaint country life. Two highlights were Ballynahinch castle and our amazing stay with Olive at Glasha Farmhouse, she is an outstanding host and cook. We would travel with My Ireland over and over again. 10/10!

My wife and daughters and I just returned from a private tour and all I must say is thank you to My Ireland Tour for a fabulous trip. Catriona did a wonderful job arranging the hotels and tour stops to accommodate all of our needs, all of the hotels were gorgeous and top notch. Our guide Pete was nothing short of sensational, he made sure we were well taken care of and his attention to detail was awesome. We couldn't have been any more thrilled with our trip. Thank you, Pete, Catriona and all of My Ireland Tours.

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 recently got back from the best vacation ever! We booked a private tour for 8 members of our family. Kristel was very accommodating in helping us with a route that would allow us to see the sights we wanted to see and work in a family visit. All our accommodations were top notch. Pat O'Gara was our driver for 8 days, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He got to know each family member and what our interests were. He took us to great spots for photos that we never would have found on our own! The van was super comfy and gave a very smooth ride! We would do it all over again if we could!

Our private tour far exceeded our high expectations. David Thompson was our driver. His vast knowledge, warm personality and skillful driving all combined to make us feel informed, welcomed and safe while covering many miles over 7 days. The itinerary was a combination of places we wanted to visit and locations Shauni suggested based on our interests. Her itinerary allowed for a maximum number of places without being rushed, all the while only changing hotels twice. Because of David's great time management we were able to revisit a few locations that we couldn't enjoy previously due to rain or fog. We had some lively conversations in the car, covering history, current events, everyday life, etc. This trip was one we'll talk about forever, we are so happy we decided to do a private tour, and even happier we chose to work with My Ireland Tours. Thank you, Shauni and David for making this the trip of a lifetime!!

It is an absolute please to write this review for My Ireland Tours. We just came back from 12 days in Scotland and Ireland. Kristel form My Ireland tours was extremely helpful and custom creating the most memorable experience. We were 18 friends traveling together all very well traveled. Every experience we had was wonderful. Several of us are golfers and the courses were challenging, beautiful and fun. The tours of the country was beautiful including important historical points. Every aspect of the tour from accommodations, dining and travel was excellent. We can't wait to book with them again.

We took our family of eight on a ten day private tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland to celebrate our 50th anniversary and our daughter and son-in laws 25th anniversary. Our guide/driver David Breen was exceptional, knowledgeable, humorous and accommodating. Our tour was fantastic and we truly enjoyed all the sites. The accommodations were very good. One suggestion would be to provide a listing of potential nearby restaurants as alternative to hotel. Thanks for a great time.

A group of 10 friends booked the 13 day My Ireland Tour for a private tour of the whole island. Kristel helped to personalize and tweak the itinerary to our needs. The tour was magnificent and we saw so much of beautiful Ireland. The diversity of our tour (castles, churches, golfing, horse races) was second to none and we all feel that we got a great taste of history and contemporary Ireland. We cannot say enough about Sean, our driver, tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and well read and has great life experiences. This knowledge is top rate as he could answer so many of our crazy questions about the beautiful Emerald Isle. He is proud of his country and has a great passion which shines through. Sean also has a great sense of humor and is easy to get along with - so much so that we all feel we made a good friend. We have done a few other tours, but we all feel this one was the best and we have already recommended it to others. If you are looking to explore Ireland, we highly recommend this tour and if you can nab Sean as your tour guide, do it!

My husband and I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime to Ireland! We spent the first week on our own in Dublin and Belfast, but the remainder of our time was spent on a private tour with My Ireland Tours. Our driver/guide, Paddy, was amazing!! He was kind and friendly, and very knowledgeable. He showed us places that we would never have found on our own. We chose to take a private tour because of the opportunity to customize it to suit us. Catriona at My Ireland Tours worked with us to do the planning and made excellent suggestions to round out our itinerary. It was truly the best trip we have ever been on. The stress of getting from one place to another and hoping the accommodations work out was completely non-existent. We just sat back in our comfortable car and enjoyed the ride! We can’t thank My Ireland tours enough for the wonderful tour, and we couldn’t have had a better guide to show us your country. Thank you so much Paddy!

I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour. From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. Catroina arranged an 8 day private tour of Ireland for our extended family of 8. Every detail was prepared and planned with our input. We made a few adjustments to the itinerary and it was handled with care and professionalism. Our coach guide Brian was a very experienced, knowledgeable, and did I mention funny? He traveled with us for 8 days through towns and countryside. He had so much knowledge of history, current events, and more. His pride in his country was evident and we were lucky to make his acquaintance. We will definitely use them again and will recommend them to our friends and family

Our family of 6 recently returned from our Private Tour with My Ireland Tour Co. We had a wonderful week and enjoyed each stop, sightseeing visit and Davey was a great tour guide! We will definitely be back to spend more time in the smaller towns we stayed over for one night.

My husband and I have wanted to take an overseas trip for so long. We have dreamed of going to Ireland and this trip was everything we hoped for! Our 10 person group included our three adult children and their spouses, our 1 grandson, and our nine-year-old. Our driver guide, Mike Riordon, was excellent! He was kind and knowledgeable, thoughtful and interesting. We were absolutely thrilled with the itinerary, the beautiful accommodations, and the entire Irish experience. We gained lots of knowledge of history, tradition, and culture. The food in Ireland was also fantastic even for our family member that is gluten-free and our family member that was dairy sensitive.

Wonderful trip from start to finish. We stayed at Faithlegg House Hotel in Waterford, Killarney Towers Hotel in Killarney, Park House Hotel in Galway City and Trinity City Hotel in Dublin. One was more beautiful than the other and the staff was fantastic. Mike Riordan, our driver was a wealth of knowledge and always quick with a joke. Having our own small group of fifteen was another plus as well. We were on our own schedule and could make changes when we wanted. Killarney was our favorite town and we just happed to be there when County Kerry won the All Ireland Championship and everyone in the town was celebrating. Kristel was so easy to work with in our planning stage. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours.

We booked an 8 day private tour with My Ireland for our entire family of 12 in July 2023. Our ages ranged from 10-65. What a wonderful experience we all had! Kristel was so easy to work with and patient with all of my questions. Our driver, John McSweeney, is a true gem. He has a vast knowledge of Ireland and was always listening to us and making every effort to accommodate everyones wishes. He also made unscheduled stops that ended up being some of our favorites! For example, he asked if we wanted to see a working sheepdog, which we did and had the best time. Our grandson asked about hurling and John had a friend of his, who hurls, meet our bus and show our grandson a hurling stick and sliotar (ball). We were hungry one day after the Cliffs of Moher and he called ahead and booked us into a pub in a little town that was some of the best food we had the entire trip! My only complaint is that we needed about two more weeks! Hopefully we will be back and we will definitely use MyIreland and request John again.

Our family group of four had a private tour with a van and our outstanding guide and driver, Ray Cullinan. He was knowledgeable, personable, unintrusive but available. I could go on and on. It was our second trip to Ireland and we worked with Kristel to design our 12 day trip. Our accomodations ranged from Inns to farmhouse manors to contemporary urban hotels and they were all lovely. The sites we saw were as planned and Ray suggested others along the way. Our weather was perfect. We had pouring down rain, beautiful rainbows and sunny days. The scenery was fabulous. It was truly iconic Ireland from cozy pubs to sheep in the road. I would not hesitate to recommend My Ireland and our wonderful guide Ray. In fact I already have.

We all loved our first “cousins trip” with My Ireland Tour in 2019 so much that when we decided to arrange a second one for summer 2023, without a moment’s hesitation, we turned once again to My Ireland Tour. With the bar set so high from the first trip, I doubted the second could surpass it – but somehow it did. It was no mean feat for My Ireland Tour’s owner Eric O’Gorman to help us organize a private 10-day tour that successfully accommodated – and entertained – an age range from 11 to 80. During the planning stage, he patiently answered questions and made changes to the itinerary to work in everyone’s requests. The accommodations he arranged for us were terrific – especially memorable were the fabulous Ballynahinch Castle, Faithlegg House, and Dingle Skellig Hotel. Our 2019 driver-guide Ben Sullivan took care of us on the road once again (at our request), and was once again a delight. We all appreciated the tour’s 2 nights, 1 night, 2 nights, 1 night, etc. structure, so we didn’t have to pack up and move every morning. It will be a very, very long time before I forget our amazing day on Inismore in the Aran Islands, or our night of music and Irish dancing in The Dingle Pub (to name just two of the many highlights). Thank you, My Ireland Tour, for helping us add wonderful new stories to our family memory bank.

10/10. i worked with Kristel to put together a private tour for our family of 17 including kids and it turned out better than i could have imagined. Kristel was extremely easy to work with via email and very accommodating to our needs. Our tour guide, Raymond, was very knowledgeable. i would recommend this company to everyone wanting to tour Ireland.

I took my two teen nephews on a tour with My Ireland Tours. It was wonderful starting with Eric O'Gorman who helped plan a fun six day trip answering my many questions and being attentive to my requests. Our driver, Maurice Kelly, was a perfect fit. He has grandchildren the same age as my nephews so he could communicate well with them. He was knowledgeable about every area we visited. He was polite, funny and friendly. Maurice showed us more than was on our itinerary and was able to suggest good places to eat. Everywhere we went, we were greeted warmly and had no problem with any meals, accomodations, or visits to places that needed tickets. Everything was very well planned and organized. Side comment: Our driver thought our visit to the Cliffs of Mohr would literally be a wash out as there were strong winds and constant rain, but afterwards, the boys said it was one of their highlights! (An adventure that no one expected!). I would trust My Ireland Tours to help me plan future trips. Also, thank you to everyone behind the scenes who made this introduction to Ireland a great one.

Several months ago, my wife and I decided to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary by taking our ten family members, aged from 81 to 11 years, on a tour of the Republic of Ireland---a country that we did not know. Searching the internet, I lighted on My Ireland Tours and entered into contact with Keith O'Driscoll. We wanted a tour which emphasised Irish history, culture, small villages, and landscapes. (Dublin, we decided, we could organise on our own). Keith could not have been more patient, accommodating and helpful in his suggestions over the course of many emails and phone calls. The seven day tour exceeded our expectations. My Ireland Tours contracted O'Callaghan Coaches to provide a new commodious bus driven by the guide, Keith Boyd (more later). The tour organised by Keith O'Driscoll was excellently paced, covering all which we wanted to see. The accommodations were excellent (The Dublin Gresham, undergoing renovations, was a little too tour group intensive, to my mind) and the sites selected responded perfectly to our interest in Irish cultural history. Everything was efficiently done. Keith Boyd, the guide, really made the trip the great success it was. Beyond being a skilled and safe driver along the country roads which dominated our tour, he was a fount of knowledge of the history, lore, culture, gastronomy and even sports of each county visited. Keith was most generous with his time, occasionally exceeding his scheduled hours to accompany us to certain cultural events outside the programme. He related wonderfully to the three kids on the trip, taking their incessant questions in stride. In the end, we really felt that we had made a friend whom we would wish to visit if we returned to Ireland. We cannot say enough good things about our My Ireland Tour arrangements. Michael Kergin

We had an excellent experience on our Irish Tour. We booked a one-week tour with our extended family along the south of Ireland. Our guide, Keith, was knowledgeable, informative, and just a fun character to have around. We have children, and he was very patient with their very many questions. I feel that we got a very good window into Ireland's history, from the medieval period through the Easter Uprising and the Irish Civil War. Keith was also a great ambassador to Irish culture.

My wife and I were looking for a way to see Ireland with our two daughters and their families, including our three grandsons, ages 14, 16, and 19. We were 8 persons altogether. Eric at My Ireland Tours made all arrangements for us, including hotels, meal, and touring. Our 9-day trip was carefree and wonderful in every way. We had a private van and the usual knowledgeable very Irish driver, who seemed to have an anecdote about everything along the way. We were accommodated in comfortable hotels where we were expected and ushered to our rooms quickly and courteously. A highlight was an overnight visit to an Irish farmhouse, with an enterprising hostess who prepared gourmet dinner and breakfast for us. We had asked for a special stop at a tiny obscure village in County Roscommon, rumored to be the ancestral home of the clan carrying my family name, and that request was honored with alacrity. We experienced typical Irish music at a jam in a pub in Galway, never wanted for Guinness, and were deeply impressed not only by the beauty of the landscape, but also by the warmth and friendliness of the people. My Ireland Tours is the way to experience Ireland! They get at least five stars from our family.

We were in Ireland for a small family reunion and then extended tour of Southern Ireland. The itinerary was bespoke and spectacular! It was everything I was hoping for and everyone loved the tour. I highly recommend MyIrelandTour, especially if you are looking for something special and custom.

We were a group of four that took the castle tour in a private van with our own driver, Ger Murphy. We had a wonderful time and appreciated Ger's skill and empathy in customizing our trip to meet our personal needs in terms of length of each tour day, amount of walking, and destinations to visit. The castle accommodations varied a bit in quality; but overall, we were comfortable and well cared for. The booking process was easy, and our questions were promptly answered by email. We would definitely book again with My Ireland Tour.

After eloping in Ireland, my husband and I, and our 2 kids took a 5 day tour with a private driver. It was an amazing honeymoon/family vacation. Catriona planned the perfect itinerary that kept both adults and kids engaged, happy, and excited. Our driver, Ray, was friendly and helpful with great knowledge of everywhere we went.

We have just returned from a perfect trip with My Ireland Tour. From the start they were so easy to work with and create our perfect week in Ireland. Kristel was outstanding in planning and coordinating. She understood what we wanted and every stop seemed to be better than the last. Our guide, Liam was perhaps the highlight of the trip. He gave us history, culture and wonderful side stories and we will be quoting him around the dinner table for years to come. I can't possibly imagine the trip being any better and would recommend My Ireland Tour to any and all!

My wife and I, along with a couple of friends, took a 2 week My Ireland Tour May 5-19, 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Our tour guide, Don, was very professional and knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor! He ensured we stayed safe and took his job very seriously. He made sure we made it to our designated tours on time and also gave us many suggestions on places to see or places to eat when we were designated to be on our own, which was very helpful. He was also a wealth of information with regards to local history, landmarks, folklore, culture and the current laws/government/taxes/real-estate, etc. All in all, this tour was definitely the way to see Ireland, both North and South! We would highly recommend My Ireland Tour Ltd!

Our family just returned from a private tour with My Ireland Tours, and it was perfect in every way imaginable. From the booking process, accommodations, inclusive entry fees, to the places not otherwise on our list, and we were able to see only because of our wonderful driver. Sky Road, Dingle, Sean’s Bar, and the beaches were probably my favorite stops, but every minute of our trip was truly incredible. Our driver/guide, Charlie Rutherford, is one of a kind. Witty, charming, and so knowledgeable about all things Ireland. Culture, sports, pubs, music, history, current events, you name it. So patient with my sometimes grumpy and tired 10 year old, and never tired of pointing out sheep and school houses for her. Helpful with my 71 year old Mom who can’t get around as easily as she used to. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy a stress-free vacation. The cherry on top was how friendly and welcoming the locals were. Such a wonderful country. I shed a few tears going into the airport because I truly did not want to go home. The trip of a lifetime! We miss you Charlie! You’re stuck on our Christmas card list now :)

We spent two fantastic weeks in Ireland on a private My Ireland Tour. Can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. We began the tour in Dublin and then traveled to Belfast, Londonderry, Lough Eske, Galway City, Killarney, and Kinsale before returning to Dublin at the conclusion of our 12-day tour. We enjoyed the local culture and food in each city, stayed in wonderful luxury accommodations, and also had the opportunity to walk about on our own at each location. Our driver / guide, Patrick (Paxo) O’Sullivan was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and informative. Patrick was open to all our questions about the history of Ireland, and (when asked) the political, economic and religious issues which shaped Ireland over the years. Parting with Patrick at the end of the tour was “sweet sorrow”. We also had local guide-experts in Belfast, Londonderry (”Gerry from Derry” was exceptional), and Dublin. We had the flexibility of working with Kristel to tailor the tour to our specific preferences. For instance, we were able to include a guided tour at Bru na Boinne, an ancient burial site, and an evening of dinner and music at the Merry Ploughboys Pub. Both were excellent additions, and we appreciate Kristel’s expertise and patience working with us. We had plenty of opportunity to see the many natural wonders, castles, distilleries, churches, and historic sites of Ireland. It was a very good mix of planned and unplanned time such that we never felt rushed and had time to relax and wander each day. We highly recommend My Ireland Tours as a premiere way to visit and learn about Ireland.

What an amazing experience!! I highly recommend My Ireland Tours. Shauni was very accommodating and helpful throughout all of our planning. Six of us had a private tour with Brian Treanor who was a joy to have as our tour guide and driver. He gave us detailed information on the places we visited and drove through, told very charming stories and kept us quite entertained with his sense of humor. We experienced the Ancient Ireland tour which provided a rich and diverse experience of Ireland. One of my favorite places to stay was Hanora’s Cottage, which was located in a pristine location with a peaceful and beautiful landscape and the most AMAZING food you will ever indulge in! This was the trip of a lifetime!

Just got back from our trip to Ireland about a week ago. really miss it already! My wife and i took a private "Wild Atlantic Way" tour, our guide/driver Enda Sheehan was awesome! I would love to go back, and if we do we would use My Ireland Tours again! Thank you Enda for the wonderful 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.

We just returned from a 14 day private tour that took us up to Northern Ireland, all along the Wild Atlantic Way, Donegal, Connemara, Galway, Dingle, Killarney, and Kilkenny (many more places in between), with wonderful stays in 3 Castle Hotels and other 5 star accommodations! Gerry Murphy was our guide and driver and was so friendly, knowledgeable, and always gave us additional sights to see should we wish, made reservations for us and got us tickets to a fabulous Celtic dance and music show! Can’t say enough about him! He went above and beyond! Kristel at My Ireland worked with me on my long list of the places we wished to see and made it all come together perfectly! Highly recommend using My Ireland Tour, you won’t regret it and if you’ve never been to Ireland, you’re in for a real treat. Truly beautiful country and people!!

We just got back from a 7 day private tour with My Ireland Tour. So preferred this verses a big bus tour. Our highlights were staying at the Glasha B and B hosted by Olive. She is a fantastic cook and hostess. Walked down to a pub after dinner called By The River and got to meet he owner and his sister. Truly lovely people. The other highlight was going on a nature walk in Caherdaniel/Derrynane National Park with local guide, Vincent. He was so warm, friendly, informative and a talented artist. Our driver Ray did a nice job getting us around all the crazy narrow roads. He also patiently answered our many questions about Ireland and it's history. The hotels and food were excellent and much better than expected. Thank you for a wonderful trip!!!

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.

This was the trip of a lifetime for our family of five. We had a private escorted tour. Keith helped us in every aspect of putting our trip in order for us. He was very thoughtful in putting together what was important for us to do and see. The hotels were amazing and located in spots which were in great areas to walk and explore. Our driver guide Colm Fitzgibbon was beyond words wonderful. He went above and beyond in so many ways for our family. We visited the home where my husband’s grandfather left Ireland in Cork city. Colm took us to the church he was baptized in. He even arranged for us to take the train into Cobh which was the route he would have likely traveled. So many wonderful little extras made this trip spectacular. Do not hesitate to use My Ireland Tours.

My recent trip to Ireland, was the second time with My Ireland Tours and it keeps getting better and better. It is all started with the planning. Both Keith and Eric set up a great trip for us to see the Wild Atlantic Way. It was breathtaking… We also couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Paddy’s personality fit perfectly with the travel group. His knowledge and love of Ireland came shining throughout the tour. Every day was new adventure and we saw so many hidden gems… Our memories will last a lifetime.

Book your trip now! My Ireland Tour did a fantastic job planning a 7-day tour for my friend and myself. Shaunie and Eric were so easy to work with and put our dream trip together. When one of our accommodations fell through at the last minute, they got us somewhere even better. Our tour guide Paddy could not have been better suited for us. Warm, knowledgeable, kind, funny and a genuine love of his home. Everyday was a new adventure with several unexpected but awesome stops. It was every thing I had hoped for and more.

We made the right choice when we booked our My Ireland Tour. Everything from booking, to scheduling to accommodations went perfectly. Our guide Maurice was excellent. His knowledge, professionalism, personality and driving skills made our trip memorable. We've been on bus tours before. The private tour was the way to go for us and we'll certainly call these folks again. We can't say enough about how well this company performed. Thank you.

We returned from a 5-day, customized, private tour with a fantastic itinerary, which included Kylemore Abbey, Rock of Cashel, and the Cliffs of Moher. Hotels were nice with friendly staff and scrumptious breakfasts. Kevin, our driver, added stops along the way, like sheep herding demo and a trip to Roscommon for us to find Helen's great grandfather and grandmother's gravesite. Having our own driver was the way to go, especially with Kevin who is an excellent storyteller and shared local insights and history. Thank you, My Ireland Tour, for giving us a memorable experience. Judy F. and Helen P.

To say that our 10 day private tour met our expectations is an understatement. This was the most amazing trip we have ever taken. Every detail was handled to perfection and we did not have to worry about a single thing. I was able to modify our trip to include all of the things I wanted and Shauni made sure that we had every day perfectly planned. Thank you My Ireland Tours!!!

After reading the many positive reviews, I decided to go with My Ireland Tours, and working with their travel coordinator, Shannon O'Brien, confirmed that I made the right choice. Shannon always responded promptly to my inquiries and listened to what I wanted in planning our private tour. She incorporated our must-see list into an itinerary that allowed us to move at a comfortable pace with overnight stays that included a couple of Ireland's renowned castles! Certainly one of the fondest memories of our tour will be our guide and driver, Padraig McGuire (arranged by Shannon through Barrett's Coaches). He was knowledgeable and yet personable, giving us an appreciation of the Irish people and their culture. I can't imagine our visit to Ireland without Padraig's friendly guidance and his sense of humor. I would highly recommend My Ireland Tours to our family and friends!

My Ireland Tours from start to finish provided us with with 5 Star planning, accommodations, fare and transportation. I had a trip of a lifetime because of this. We told them what we wanted and they nailed it all. My heartfelt thanks to all involved, especially to Kristel O'Connor for her travel insight and customer service. ☘☘

August 23. Ron and I would highly recommend My Ireland Tour! We did a 9 day private tour with our driver/guide Tony. He was informative, caring, funny and a great singer. We enjoyed Tony as much as we enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and cities he took us to. We were never rushed at any of the many, many locations on our travels in the north and through Donegal. The guides that joined us in Belfast and Derry/Londonderry were wonderful. Ron and I consider Tony a true friend and we wish him all the best and many blessings. Hope to see him again someday. SLAINTE!! Thank you Eric for arranging such an incredible vacation for us. Your new friends, Diana & Ron

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update!!! We FINALLY made it 💕 I don’t even have words to describe the majesty that is Ireland so my advice is book with My Ireland and see for yourself! This company is incredible to work with from start to finish. Best of all you can trust them to make your trip all you want and much more. Kristel and Catriona were super responsive and provide great recommendations, 4 years of communication and always so kind and patient!! Our driver Cathal was our groups perfect match he was incredibly knowledgeable in Irish history and had a lovely sense of humor. We miss him already but came home full of memories and even more love for Ireland. We will be back and there is no doubt My Ireland will be our choice and fingers crossed Cathal will take another journey with us!!! We booked and paid in full for a private tour for family and friends for August 2020. As we all know that wasn’t going to happen :( we hoped 2021 we would still be able to go, unfortunately it just wasn’t a good time. They offered a full refund in March 2020 but we decided to take the risk and not ask for a refund then. In February 2021 with a heavy heart we asked for a refund, we received every cent back in just a few short days. I’d like to start by saying Kristel was fabulous through the entire process of booking and eventually cancellation. My husband communicated regularly with her to add things we would like to see and to get updates once the world was hit with COVID-19. The professionalism, transparency and kindness this company showed us should be commended. Without a doubt when my family is able to travel to Ireland we will use this company. Honestly I could not sing enough praise for Kristel and My Ireland Tours do not hesitate to book with this company.

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

We spent over a year researching a small group (9 cousins) guided tour of Ireland. My Ireland Tours was FANTASTIC! Martina walked us through every step of the way, she always answered our questions promptly and helped us make decisions. Our itinerary was wonderful, we started in Dublin, then went to Killarney, Cork, Beara Penninsula, Connemara and Galway (with all the major sites along the way). Our driver Ben was utterly fabulous. He told stories, sang songs, made suggestions and was patient with our requests. We stayed in a combination of city hotels, Glasha Farmhouse (don't miss it if you can, Olive is wonderful and the "pub" up the lane is a hoot) and Ballynahinch Castle, which was spectacular, even in the rain. We all agreed we had zero complaints and My Ireland is the way to go! Date of experience: September 2019

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

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

My family of four had a fantastic trip booked with Krystal from My Ireland Tour. Krystal took care of everything and listen to our requests and needs. We had a personal driver, Pat Breen during the week who was fantastic! He was the best and we greatly appreciated his service and friendship. I would highly recommend booking your trip with My Ireland Tour.

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

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

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

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

Wow, what a fantastic 2 weeks in Ireland! My hat is off to My Ireland tour for making this a great, hassle free vacation. I would wholeheartedly recommend My Ireland Tour to anyone who is thinking of traveling or vacationing in Ireland. Our group of 7 did a custom tour of Ireland over 11 days in one of their small coaches(Mercedes-Benz Sprinter), the vehicle was very comfortable with bucket seats that have multiple charging ports to keep cameras and phones charged. The staff at My Ireland tour was extremely helpful in guiding us on how to set up the itinerary, they were always available to answer emails and questions. We did a Counter-clock wise tour of the Island starting and ending in Dublin, including a night in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We also included a day tour of Inis Oirr Island (Aran Islands) that included seeing the Cliffs of Moher from a boat. Our Driver/Tour guide/Historian/Concierge George C. was incredible. Thank you George for being a great part of our memories. As well as being well versed in Irish History and culture George can identify all Trees, Flowers, breeds of Sheep, cows and horses, and styles of architecture that you will see on the tour. He also knows the best places to eat and shop as well. This is definitely a 5 Star company!

You've found the "pot 'o gold" when you book with My Ireland Tour and get Mark Mulvey as your guide. Just returned to the US after a 12 day private tour with this wonderful company and very knowledgeable guide. From my first contact with Eric, to set-up the tour, I can not say enough positive things to express how blessed we were to find this company. Mark is a wonderful guide, so polite, considerate, professional and so well educated on Ireland, it's customs, history, archeology, religion, etc. And, he's a fun and easy going guide to spend 12 days with, going the extra mile to help in anyway needed. Ireland is lucky to have Mark and My Ireland Tour as ambassadors to this beautiful country. Thank you!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We only had a short period of time in Ireland so we couldn't see everything. Our guide, Patrick Breen, helped us do as much as we could. We slept on a farm, saw sheepdogs hard at work, castles, forts, and so much more. Thank you My Ireland Tour for making the most of our short time there and for sharing their beautiful country with us!

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

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

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

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My family had an absolutely incredible experience doing a week-long private tour with My Ireland Tour from the wonderful guidance that we received from Eric and team to develop our perfect itinerary to our amazing driver-guide Tony who become part of our family during the week that we spent with him. The hotels were beautiful and in great locations, the van that we traveled in was incredibly clean and comfortable, the history and knowledge shared by Tony during the trip was very educational and entertaining, and the activities that we took part in and sites that we saw were more than we could've asked for. I am so glad that we selected My Ireland Tour for our vacation and I would give them my highest recommendation!

I wanted to leave a note about our customized tour arranged by Eric O'Gorman with My Ireland Tours. My sister & I spent many weeks working with Eric to develop a tour for our small group of 6 people. Eric was extremely accommodating, answering all of our questions and offering his expertise into everything Ireland. He was also more than happy to work with each individual's special arrangements. At the beginning of October, my husband & I met two of my sisters and their husbands for a wonderful tour of Ireland. Eric arranged our hotel in Dublin and train tickets to Galway where we met our driver (Colm) and our coach for a tour of western & southern Ireland. We saw all of the major attractions plus a number of other spots Colm thought we would like. He was right! We liked everything! We saw everything we wanted to see and more! We were never rushed and felt that Colm (and Eric)'s goal was for us to have the best possible time. The hotels were well located, all within walking distance of pubs, restaurants and shops. We were in tourist areas, so we didn't get as much interaction with the locals as we would have liked but that just means we need to go back! I would highly recommend working with Eric O'Gorman and My Ireland Tours to customize your next trip to Ireland!
