💚 Our Guests Love Us!

						My family went on a private tour with Irish Experience Tours, and I can't say enough about how amazing of a time we had! Sean did a great job setting up our itinerary, and Anthony went above and beyond as our guide throughout the tour. He was knowledgeable on so many topics (history, flora and fauna, local restaurants, photography, and more) and was able to quickly develop a good rapport with us. Anthony adjusted our stops based on our interests and the day's weather, and since we were a smaller group he took us to several locations off the beaten path- hidden gems without crowds of tourists. The van/bus was comfortable and the B&Bs were all located conveniently and provided delicious breakfasts. I would go again in a heartbeat!

						Perfect Tour in Ireland Our private tour of Ireland with our guide, Anthony, was incredible. The weather was perfect and the itinerary that we created with Sean worked out very well. Anthony made a few minor changes as he got to know all 5 of us and what we enjoyed. All the accommodations and breakfasts were very good and the transportation in a larger van gave us plenty of room. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend Irish Experiences.

						A travel experience we will long remember! We traveled to Ireland on our honeymoon 20 years ago. Rented a tiny car and spent a week traveling by ourselves. This time we knew we wanted to join a tour. Irish Experience Tours was exceptional! We were fortunate to have Sean as our tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about Irish history and the perfect personality to lead our small group of 14. His story telling and mix of Irish music & contemporary songs enhanced the drive. With 7 days and six nights accommodations in B&B’s the package was reasonable. We enjoyed it so much we hope to book a private family tour for my nephew’s  wedding in two years.
