This was our fourth trip to Ireland since 2022. We wanted a more personal and interactive experience with this trip. We found Irish Tourism on Facebook and contacted the company. Nuala Sheedy became our point of contact. We were actually able to speak with her by phone several times in the booking process and while we were in Ireland.
She booked our rail tickets, hotels, drivers and excursions. Not traveling with a group we had more freedom in our exploring and wandering. Except for Cork, we were within walking distance of the hotels and railway stations. We followed Nuala’s suggestion and had her book a private car ride from Killarney to Galway which was a treat! Dennis picked us up at our hotel at 09:30 for a three hour ride. He dropped us off at our Galway hotel at 17:30! We had already visited the sites of his usual drive so he showed us more of rural Ireland. We stopped in Adare, a pub lunch in Doolin, Limerick, Lisdoonvarna(where for 140 years they celebrate a matchmaking festival in September), views of the Burren, just to name a few of the sites we visited.
Nuala became a friend making suggestions of places of interest to visit. We spent 3 hours at the Muckross Abbey Ruins on our own. She booked our ferry to Inishmore, one of the three Aryan islands, which turned out to be a most remarkable and lovely island.
Having pre booked train tickets was most appreciated as we had reserved seats. We enjoyed riding the trains, connecting with local travelers and sharing stories. If you want a relaxing, comfortable, more personal vacation give Nuala at Irish Tourism a phone call.
We are just back from our trip to Ireland. We were so pleased and grateful for the invaluable professional assistance in planning our trip that we received from Nuala at Irish Tourism. We had brainstormed a rough itinerary in advance, which Nuala reviewed and advised us on. She took into account various “not to miss” sites that we had not even known to include or request, and also logistics like realistic driving times. Her advice was extremely helpful. She suggested stops or activities for us to consider, and we were pleased with all her suggestions. She listened to our needs, secured our rental cars, and lined up great accommodations within our price range at each stop. Each accommodation (both B&Bs and hotels) was fantastic! She quickly and cheerfully answered all of our questions when we were uncertain about various issues, and she made accommodations when we asked for a few changes because of our schedule. I highly recommend Nuala and Irish Tourism if you are planning a trip.

I booked this tour from Australia and was surprised at the prompt and helpful advice that I received. We were given a number of options for the trip and were able to develop a 10 day tour which fitted our needs.
We were then supplied with a 45 page tour guide which was extremely helpful and a great resource. The accomodation bookings were excellent and the car hire went smoothly.
Ireland is a beautiful place to visit and we were able to get the best out of the trip from the information supplied.

i went to Ireland in 2022 to work in Monaghan , one day i and my friends went for a exercise walk , we have been to a village that had great nice views as you know Monaghan is a plateau mostly roads on the hills or mountains side or right on the mountain,so ,we lost our way. and we went toward a villager near by the road we were to ask where the Monaghan town is ,you know what happened, the man whose age about over 50 came out of his room and answer my question that "Don't worry I will help you "and he drove his car brought us to he Monaghan town to buy somethings to eat and the cooker and sent us to the place where we stayed with charging a cent from us.
He told us that "you don't worry if you are here already , here is very safe and peaceful,unless, you commit the crime. Since then , my mind stuck with Ireland and i want to go back to share what i have even little with the rish .yes, i love Ireland every one speak english ,so it is so easy to stay , travel , doing business or live.
Thank you
Linda put together a lovely itinerary for a short trip to Dublin and Galway on very short notice this summer. The hotels were excellent, our driver was extremely friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our trip very much.

From the first moment my trip planning with my agent, Linda, began, I knew I was in good hands. Linda was patient with the multitude of questions I had, answering each in detail to ease my fears about such a big expense. Once we arrived, we were blown away by the quality of the accommodations and the tours she chose for us. Our favorite part was the chauffeur ride back to Dublin as we were able to set our own pace. We are already planning our next visit and look forward to Linda's help again!

I contacted this company over a year ago when we began thinking about a tour of Ireland for our family. Ten of us ranging from 3 years old to retired folks. Most tours won't take a 3 year old or couldn't stay within budget. Niamh worked with me to plan a trip using trains all across Ireland. The hotels she booked were 3 min from the train station. Then she booked us on a Ring of Kerry tour, a day trip to Inish Mor and time at Guiness Storehouse. We ended in Belfast at the Titanic hotel. All in all it was fantastic except the hop on bus in Dublin was not running very often so we did a lot of walking. We highly recommend Irish Tourism. They did a great job!!!

We had a very positive experience with booking our self drive Holiday through Irish Tourism.
Linda was extremely helpful and checked in whilst we were there to make sure all was going well and also provide emergency contact Information, should it had been necessary.
The accommodation and location were all fabulous with a big hearty breakfast included each day.
I would happily recommend Irish Tourism to anyone needing a little guidance putting together a roadtrip of Ireland.

Nuala was fabulous to work with! She provided different options in our planning so that we ended up with the best version of our trip to Ireland! We used a private driver (Brian) who made fabulous recommendations and we were able to see more of Ireland than we hoped. The hotels Nuala chose exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Irish Tourism when planning your trip!

Had a wonderful holiday in Ireland, and delighted we used Irish Tourism. Friendly, efficient, everything sorted - leaving us just to come over and have the best holiday. The 24/7 contact for emergencies wasn't needed, but reassuring to have in the background. Would highly recommend.

We loved our rail tour of Cork, Kilarney, Galway, and Dublin. The hotels and the arranged day tours were top notch. The staff at Irish Tourism helped us deal with issues caused by air travel problems very effectively. We highly recommend this tour and the staff at Irish Tourism.

I contacted Linda Larkin 2 weeks before we left for Ireland. Our plans for a week of our trip had fallen through, and we didn’t have time to come up with an itinerary or book lodging. Linda was very helpful and responsive. She came up with an itinerary, and booked our lodging. We love all 3 hotels she booked for us. She really made our trip a success!
Reply from Irish Tourism
What we really appreciated was how they listened, provided suggestions based on our answers, and their flexibility on making changes up to the purchase date.
Also appreciated the responses were always prompt, thorough and helpful.
The list of suggested stops along the way always had more than enough options.
Recommend them without any reservations.

Our family had an incredible experience touring Ireland, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful driver, Robbie, and Linda at the travel agency.
Robbie our driver was professional yet personable, courteous, on time and incredibly knowledgeable about Ireland's history, culture, and attractions. He knew exactly when to share fascinating stories and when to simply let us soak in the breathtaking scenery. Traveling with two kids can be unpredictable, but he was wonderful with them—always looking for fun stops and little surprises to keep them engaged. Most importantly, we always felt completely safe in his hands, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.
Linda at the travel agency was equally fantastic throughout the planning process. She was responsive, organized, and made booking our trip easy from start to finish. She answered our questions promptly and made sure we had everything we needed before we left.
If you're considering a trip to Ireland, I can't recommend this team highly enough. They helped turn an amazing vacation into an unforgettable one!

Niamh did an excellent job planning our first driving trip around Ireland. She picked some excellent places for us to stay, especially the Davenport Hotel in Dublin.
