A fantastic day visiting the Cliffs with our Irish friend Eamonn!

Eamonn was an outstanding guide that ensured that we had an amazing day. Professional, knowledgeable and truly a pleasure to spend the day with, we couldn’t have asked for someone better to lead us on our Cliffs of Moher tour. The Cliffs themselves are incredible and definitely worth seeing, and we’ll be referring all of our friends and family to book with Eamonn when they visit Ireland. Thank you Eamonn!!

Excellent Customized and Private 2 Day Tour

Eamonn @chaperonevip_privatetours made our visit to Ireland truly unforgettable. His attention to detail and customization of the itinerary for our family was above and beyond anything we could have imagined! You made learning Ireland's unique history fun and made us feel like a part of the culture. This will be a vacation we will remember forever! We started our journey with Eamonn in Dublin and as we headed west we saw a working sheepdog demonstration, toured and stayed overnight in Galway, visited the Aillwee Caves and the Cliffs of Moher, and stopped as fun pubs along the way…and those were just the highlights! I would 100% recommend Eamonn. Family of 4 traveling from USA.

What a great trip!

What a great day! The kids loved seeing the cliffs and the tower on the cliffs. Seeing the Irish country side and listening to Irish music made us feel at home. Eamond was so insightful and such a great tour. Well worth the money!!!

Eamonn makes it worth it!

Having a family of 6 with little kids, we were dreading a 12 hour tour to the West coast from Dublin, half worried we were going to make our kids hate traveling. We read raving reviews of Eamonn and decided to go for the private option. And man! was it worth it!! Eamonn certainly lives up to the reviews - we (kids included) didn't realize the hours melt away. He caters to our needs, tailors the trip accordingly - one moment we (the adults, of course :D) are given a taste of Irish Whiskey, and the next we are clapping in rhythm to traditional Irish music. Eamonn has an incredible deeper understanding of Irish roots which he is able to effortlessly trace from Gaelic names of towns and villages. He fills you with so much data, interspersed with sparkling wit, all the while making you feel like you're hanging out with a family member at the pub. The Cliffs of Moher are a must see, with a few castles along the way, the Burren Chocolate factory (to the Kid's delight) amidst the limestone landscape that's just wild and a touch of Tolkien history. Amazing wonderful day!
