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!

Book with Eamonn - this guy has crazy skills

We recently returned from a bucket list trip to Ireland. Prior to the trip, we had the crazy idea that we would rent a van and drive ourselves around Dublin, and to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. BAD BAD BAD IDEA. Did I mention that we are from the US? Which means we drive on the opposite side of the road and our streets are MUCH wider. Thankfully, we stumbled across Eamonn. Wow, wow, wow. This guy is passionate about his heritage and his country and it shows in everything he does. He took the time to educate us on Irish history which included music and storytelling. He made this an experience, so much more than a tour guide. He took us to local restaurants, local shops and off the beaten path castles/landmarks that were over the top. We enjoyed him so much that we booked him for a second day to take us to a local sheep farm and a manor house that is open to the public. I highly recommend Eamonn. He is a fantastic person and truly goes the extra mile to make sure you have an amazing experience.

Loved our tour of Ireland with Eamonn!

Dear Eamonn, I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible tour you provided for my group of six around Ireland. After finding you on TripAdvisor and reading your excellent reviews, we had high expectations, and you truly exceeded them. Your extensive knowledge of Irish history was fascinating, and you made every historical site come alive. Beyond that, your accommodating nature ensured that we saw some truly unique and off-the-beaten-path places that we would never have discovered on our own. You were not only informative but also a lot of fun, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide in Ireland. If I find myself heading to Dublin again, you will be the first person I reach out to. Thank you again for making our trip so memorable. It was a truly great time! Teri

An Unforgettable Engagement

Eamonn came highly recommended by a friend in New Jersey where I live. I was telling the friend how I knew I wanted to propose in Ireland but knew nothing about the country. I reached out to Eamonn and he not only called the me to discuss my wants/needs, but gave advice on hotels, places to see, scheduling, flights to take, even where to pop the question! I booked him for the first 3 days, a different adventure each day and I wish I'd booked all 5! His communication is second to none, he's punctual, knowledgeable, and fun! We plan on returning to that beautiful country next year and won't schedule the trip until I know his ability, he's THAT good. Thank you Eamonn, see you soon!
