The best experience!

This was our favorite day in Ireland!! Eamonn is so friendly, funny, knowledgeable and he even customized the second half of our tour based on what we were discussing during the first half. He went above and beyond! He even took a look at and helped us with the rest of our itinerary for the week. He made the experience truly unforgettable and we would highly recommend!!!

Fun tour and personalized experience!

We had such a wonderful experience with Eammon! From the moment we booked with him, he helped us with our itinerary for our whole trip, giving us tons of recommendations and ideas. Our tour with him was so much fun. He shared so much knowledge about everything, answered all of our questions, and even had playlists and snacks ready to go! In the afternoon, he tailored some of our stops based on what he found out we were interested in. He even checked in on us throughout the rest of our trip and offered advice whenever we had questions. I absolutely recommend him! You will not be disappointed.

Can't miss Ireland experiences!

We hired Eamonn for two day trips outside of Dublin (Newgrange/Hill of Tara and Glendalough/Wicklow Mountains) because we wanted an authentic and local experience. From the start, Eamonn impressed us with how quickly he responded to our initial outreach. He sent a proposed itinerary right away and worked closely with us to customize it to our needs, really focusing on making sure we’d get a genuine experience that met all of the interests of our diverse group. Eamonn was personable, easy to work with, and flexible in tailoring the schedule, which other tour providers did not offer. Eamonn also typically offers complimentary video consults to plan experiences. Our group included two individuals in their 20s and two in their 60s, all with very different interests. Eamonn took all that into account and crafted an itinerary that felt authentic and balanced. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Ireland and connected culture and history through memorable experiences such as visiting a farm to hold a baby lamb, shopping for Irish sweaters, and even stopping at a Gaelic football pitch on the side of the road to kick the ball around after lunch. Eamonn also personally secured all entry tickets (including those that only opened up for a short window online), making the trip much easier. Eamonn’s pacing was great: he avoided long stretches in the car by mixing historical sites, scenic vistas, and other activities (including an occasional whiskey tasting) so the day never felt rigid. Everywhere we went, it was clear he’s a local as people knew him and we got great service. His contributions to our trip did not end after the tour either. Eamonn provided excellent recommendations in Dublin such as non-touristy pubs with authentic live music and museums a bit more "off the beaten path". Eamonn even recommended some hilarious Irish TV shows to watch as we wound down at the end of the night. By the end of the trip, Eamonn felt like family. We felt comfortable, safe, and immersed in a genuine Irish experience. We are so excited to see him again and could not recommend him more.

Five stars isn’t enough!

We don’t 2 full days with Eamonn and five starts wouldn’t be enough!! Language, music, scenery, humor, 100% authentic experience ALL fully customized to our time and family!! We learned more than we knew we could and had more fun than we imagined possible!! We are so grateful for our experience in Ireland and our time with Eamonn!!
