Our recent trip to Ireland was nothing short of extraordinary, and we owe it entirely to Niamh and the wonderful team at Irish Tourism. From the very first email, Niamh’s patience, professionalism, and kindness shone through. She guided us through every step of planning with genuine care — answering our endless questions, accommodating every change (and there were many!), and crafting an itinerary that captured everything we dreamed of and more.

Every hotel, tour, and transfer was perfectly arranged. We never once had to worry about logistics — all we had to do was enjoy Ireland’s breathtaking beauty. From Dublin’s vibrant streets to the serene majesty of Killarney and the rugged charm of the Wild Atlantic Way, every moment was seamless.

We particularly enjoyed being able to travel by train. Our time spent away from tourist spots, gliding through the beautiful Irish countryside, viewing stone walls, thatched-roofed cottages, the occasional castle wall, and a zillion sheep was a dream come true. And then there were the Irish breakfasts!!

What truly set this experience apart was Niamh’s personal touch. She listened. She understood what mattered most to us — and she made it happen. Her warmth and attention to detail turned a vacation into a deeply meaningful journey.

We returned home with our hearts full, our memories overflowing, and our gratitude boundless. Thank you, Niamh and Irish Tourism, for creating the trip of a lifetime. We can’t wait to return.

Very good communication with Nuala, who went beyond our needs and expectations. Hotels and tours were marvelous. No problems or complaints, except for a day of poor inter-city bus service (no fault of hers). Would highly recommend Irish Tourism. They deliver!

Our trip-coordinator Stephanie was amazing. She was beyond helpful with answering my questions and helping my mom and I plan our chauffeur driven tour if Ireland. Our driver Donal was fantastic. We took their wonderful suggestions and worked them into our trip. Donal even went above and beyond when we ended up at a B&B that didn't offer dinner and we had no way of getting to the closest town since the car left with him at the end of the day. On his own time he drove us into town and waited while we had dinner then drove us back to the B&B. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have eaten that night.

The timing at each location was perfect - Dublin, Kilkenny, Killarney and Doolin. The hotels and B&B’s were also great - with all staff very helpful. We especially liked Killarney at the Scott’s Hotel and made recommendations to other travelers about that. We had some uncertainty about the car rental, but Nuala told us what we needed (we are over 75) and it worked out for Avis - which is my preferred rental anyway.

My friend and I planned 4 years to ago to go to Ireland to celebrate our 50th Birthdays. Our original plan was to book our own accommodations/car rental. We knew the destinations where we wanted to go but as time quickly approached, we looked into Irish Tourism for help. I sent an email, and Stephanie was quick to respond, keep in mind it was a 6-hour time difference. I provided her with where we wanted to go in our 12-day travel and preferred 3–5-star accommodations with 1 castle stay and possibly BB. Within the week she had us an itinerary and we could choose hiring a driver or them booking our car for us to explore on our own. We were able to make changes with ease. She provided us with vouchers for each of our accommodations, a detailed route of what we could explore via our chosen route, and presentation was easy to read/follow. If we called/emailed there was no delay in response. Our recommendation is to hire the driver! It takes the stress out, so you are able to enjoy! and you learn ALOT from them as well! He was flexible with our itinerary (which we didn’t really have one). He had so many suggestions/options to offer for us each day dependent on weather. He even got us in on a Sunrise kayak tour out of Bantry. We have been recommending Irish Tourism to all of our friends. It was seamless from the time they picked us up from Dublin Airport to when we went home. Book the trip! Reach out to Irish Tourism for your travel! Hire a driver! Sit back relax, enjoy what Ireland has to offer.

We used Irish Tourism and Nuala from their team to plan out and book our 10 day Ireland trip. It was our first trip abroad with kids. They did a fantastic job of creating a well paced and clearly delineated itinerary. They followed our requests and instructions and made changes and updates until it was just what we wanted. The hotels and inns we were booked in were high end, well run and tidy. I would recommend them for all of these reasons plus great communication and customer service.

Irish tourism was great. I am not good with tech and they helped me work through that and listened to what I wanted to do on my trip and made suggestions and planed the whole thing for us. Maria Lieb was the person we worked with and she went so far as to lineup. Irish shows with dancing for us and a castle stay and everything worked out perfectly from beginning to end. She was a real credit to her company, and I would definitely use them again because of her.

My experience with Irish Tourism was wonderful. Linda helped me plan an incredible trip. Her expertise helped choose the best places to stay and itinerary. She was very responsive and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had. Our driver, Robbie, made our travels through the country less stressful. He knew how to navigate the roads and show us the sights. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again if I return to Ireland. They made the trip planning easy and the experience in Ireland unforgettable.

We are from New Zealand. We have been to UK and Europe on multiple occasions over 50 years but had never been to Ireland. We wished to do a self drive tour taking in Southern and Northern Ireland. Irishtourism.com and Linda Larkin put together a suggested itinerary for 2 weeks and outlined options for accommodation from B& Bs to 3 or 4 star hotels. Very quickly we had a tour planned with any questions answered promptly. We travelled clockwise Dublin to Dublin in August and had a wonderful visit having undertaken many of the activities suggested by the Irish Tourism Group. The hotels and lodges chosen for us were exceptional, representing great value for money.
Irishtourism.com took all the stress out of organising the trip in the peak of summer.
Overall we loved Ireland and the people we met. We even had our first swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Rossnowlagh. The trip was a varied mix of country and city which we enjoyed. Our stay in the Titanic hotel and visit to the Titanic museum was especially memorable.
We have recommended Irishtourism.com to friends who are planning to visit Ireland in the years ahead.

I was recommended to contact Irish Tourism for a planner, and I was lucky to get Linda Larkin. She was amazing to work with. Kind, knowledgeable and made my first trip out of the U.S. so easy! She customized our trip perfectly for us. Getting train tickets was so easy to transfer from town to town. Our bus tours were just as easy, as well as our accommodations were just lovely. Everything was perfect. We had a driver on one day to transfer via the Cliffs of Mohr. We could walk or taxi anywhere we wanted. We definitely sampled the entire country so when we go back, we will slow it down and soak up our favorite areas. Thank you Linda for everything!! You are amazing. Ref: 154472

We just returned from a great 8-day tour of Ireland through Irish Tourism. Niamh was an excellent planner. She was able to quickly change anything we needed changed. Through her, we hired a personal driver for our party of 6, John Dunphy through Kinsale Executive Travel. He listened to what we were interested in and helped us plan each day to exactly meet our expectations. He was a wealth of information about Ireland and its history. By the end of the week, he was one of us! I would highly recommend hiring a driver - you get to go where you want, avoid the crowds, and nobody in your group has to drive and miss all the beautiful countryside.

As a first thing, I would like to give 5 stars to our advisor, Niamh, who patiently assisted ua during the booking process as we had a few special requests to accomodate. He was helpful and we never felt pressured to close the reservation. Great, really great customer service.
Besides this, the tour we took, 10 days Southern Ireland, was carefully crafted and the itinerary is properly designed to minimize useless driving while enjoying the many things along the route.
Depending on the time of the year, give a little latitude to the listed driving times as busiest periods require a little bit more.
Attractions are carefully described and we were never disappointed. Accommodations: this was a nice surprise as we did not book for the luxury tier but in the end we always stayed in 4 and 5 star properties except for a couple of nights in Galway, where the room was anyway clean, well appointed and maintained as it was the facility overall, with the restaurant offering a fancy vibe and a great breakfast. A suggestion for improvement is related to stops where two itineraries are possible. Maybe offering or suggesting the possibility to extend stays in such places during booking would be a good thing but I’m saying this now because we loved our trip so much that we are sorry we did not have enough time to see everything. Good reason to be back though. Overall, it was a pleasure and extremely easy to work with Irish Tourism. Highly recommended

Just returned from an excellent 2 week trip and have to recommend the company Irish Tourism. They tailor your itinerary to the places you’re looking to visit, arrange accommodation and train travel through out the country. The one we did was an independent tour but had numerous day trips done with small groups , Ring of Kerry and Dingle coast were a couple. Along with other places that we were hoping to visit. Well paced, never felt rushed and even made a change to itinerary half way through to allow us a little more time in Belfast and Dublin. Ask to speak with Nuala Sheedy - absolute pleasure to deal with, goes above and beyond and had no unwanted surprises. It was one of most seamless vacations we have ever had and cost was very affordable. Big breakfast every morning and hotels were centrally located and very nice.
You will not regret the personalized service and expertise this lovely woman delivers.

My family and I had an incredible Irish Tourism vacation and absolutely loved everything about it. The trains from Dublin to Kilarney and back were comfortable and convenient, and the day tour to Galway with a private driver was a special treat with a fabulous guide. The hotels were welcoming and easy to find, with delicious Irish breakfasts each morning and friendly staff. The day trips were amazing with the most engaging and knowledgeable tour guides: we learned so much about Ireland's past and present and especially loved the castles, museums, and parks. We were thrilled most of all that we had a safe, special, and unforgettable experience together as a family with our two children. The communication and coordination from the team made this possible and we are very grateful.

Very accommodating, great recommendations, excellent follow-through providing all needed documents for rental car, lodging, and vouchers. Helpful contact for any and all questions while we were traveling!

I have traveled all over the world, and this was one of the most seamless and fun trips that I have been on. Kudos to Niamh and the team at Irish Tourism for providing such a well-executed, reasonably priced and fun itinerary that was easy to follow. We had a fabulous time doing a custom train-based tour to Dublin, Killarney and Galway. I would highly recommend their services.

Our trip was fantastic! Our hotels were nice and close to the train stations so there was no stress travelling between our destinations. Activities and excursions were fun and memorable! Completely recommend working with this group to organize our trip across Ireland!

All inclusive along with the rental car. Easy access. Fine lodging and the tour book helped significantly in our visit.

I worked with Maria to plan my boyfriend and I’s trip to Killarney and Dublin. She was very easy to work with and was super understanding when i had a million questions or wanted to change things around. This was our first trip to the country and we weren’t sure the best way to plan everything we wanted to see. Maria was very helpful in steering us in the right direction! Our driver Kieran was spectacular! He knows all the best places to stop and get a view in on our way to our destinations, and went above and beyond our expectations as our driver. He is very down to earth and has a kind heart, we miss him already! And will surely ask him to be our driver next time we come to Ireland. He really made our trip the best time. So, we highly recommend to go with Irish Tourism, they were wonderful!
