About our Irish tours
What makes them special
Advantages of a small custom tour
You will see the real Ireland. An Ireland where:
- You see the popular sights but also get off the beaten track, lunch in small country pubs, hear great music and see parts of Ireland larger tours never visit.
- You are not stuck on a tight inflexible schedule, but go at a pace that suits you and you are free to alter your plans on a whim.
- There is no stress about car rental, traffic or parking or about driving and navigating narrow unfamiliar roads.
- You won’t spend your time with other tourists on a coach but will meet and interact with Irish people.
- Everyone in your group will have an equally good time, whatever their age, interests or mobility level.
- Nothing is hit and miss – you stay in exceptional accommodation, travel in luxury and a have great guide who is dedicated to ensuring you have the best time!
What to expect
These are just some of the things you can expect when you plan your Irish tour with us.
Travel with just your group
You will not join a large group of strangers each with different needs and interests – your group and only your group will travel on a tour with us.
This means your tour can start and finish on dates and in locations that suit you and that each day can be planned with your needs and interests in mind.
Fully personalized itinerary
Your tour will visit the locations you most want to see and move at a pace to suit you and your group.
No rushing from place to place with barely time to savour the surroundings, we ensure that you will have time to wander off the beaten track, to alter any day’s plan if something else takes your interest and to accommodate the needs of individual group members with special interests or requirements.
Dedicated Guide/Driver
Your group will be accompanied throughout your tour by an experienced driver/guide. Our guides are specially chosen for their depth of knowledge about Ireland and each has an exemplary record of driving safety.
They know those out of the way places other tours never reach and in addition to acting as a guide will be available to advise and assist with every aspect of your tour while you are with us.
Safe comfortable transport
Your group will travel in one of our comfortable Mercedes vehicles, all up-to-date models, maintained impeccably and specially configured to ensure maximum comfort.
Our choice of only the highest quality vehicles for our fleet means you can have complete confidence in the reliability and safety of your chosen means of travel.
Time out from the crowd
Most organised tours of Ireland follow a well worn track around Ireland, your tour with us is different. Because it is planned just for you and is so flexible, we not only schedule some lesser known gems in advance but can change a day’s plan at a moment’s notice.
