TESTIMONIALS

My experience with Love Irish tours has been fantastic! I had been to Ireland twice before, but our driver, Seamus, really made this trip special. Within five minutes of him introducing himself, you’ll feel like you’ve been talking to a lifelong friend! He knows Ireland inside and out, and makes the drive interesting no matter where you’re headed. He’s great with people of all ages, making everyone feel comfortable and ensuring that everyone’s having a great time. Whether you have no itinerary planned at all or a detailed schedule, he’ll provide you with whatever you need.

Seamus epitomizes Irish hospitality. He’s got the gift of the gab, full of wit and humor with a warm personality. I’d recommend anyone interested in visiting Ireland and to experience what makes Ireland so special — the people — to look no further than traveling with Seamus, who makes every experience memorable.

If you have any Irish heritage, be sure to tell Seamus. He’ll be able to provide cultural context of your family’s history, and takes pride in finding the homes and resting places of your ancestors. He makes the experience of traveling through Ireland personal in a way that I had not experienced before.

You may consider driving yourself in Ireland, or maybe traveling with another tour group, but I can assure you that you will not regret traveling with him as your driver. I truly can’t provide a higher recommendation for Love Irish tours and Seamus. I’ll be bringing more of my family and friends back here again so that they can experience Ireland in the same way I have, alongside my newfound Irish cousin!

In finishing our 5 day tour of southern Ireland, my expectations of the vacation were blown away mainly thanks to our wonderful driver and tour guide, Seamus. From the morning he picked us up, he was gracious, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. He was great in giving us tips and suggestions and helped shape our itinerary so we saw all we wanted plus a few surprises along the way! Beyond his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm about the country, it was his personality that made our trip successful. Before the trip, I was slightly apprehensive as we would spend a lot of time with our driver / guide and in the past some tour guides have been knowledgeable, but not personable. However, Seamus went above and beyond and connected with each individual person in our group. We never had an awkward moment in the car and he created a perfect balance of jokes, friendly conversations, and space for our group to connect on our own. I will definitely recommend Seamus to anyone who comes to Ireland and can’t thank him enough for the wonderful experience!

LIT is 5/5 for sure! Six of us recently toured Ireland and Scotland. Our coordinator, Niall did a fantastic job throughout. He was very detailed and followed up on every request including a zoom call with all parties to better understand the ins and outs of our trip. Once we were on the trip our drivers were of the highest quality. Eiman was our driver in Ireland and had an incredible command of the history of the country and the sense of humor needed with our group...too much fun indeed! Gordon was our driver in Scotland and also had great knowledge of the history and local lore. Also with the quick wit he kept it fun and interesting. The key to these trips were the drivers and both were knowledgeable to get us in and out of places easily and avoid the tourist traps and large crowds. Accommodations were very good and we found excellent food and entertainment wherever we were. Would recommend LIT to anyone...great company!! We will use them again.

Wow!!!! My boyfriend & I were on the (Sept 13th-Sept 20th 2022) 8 day Love Irish (small guided bus)Tour. Niall had helped us set this up in 2018 and was so helpful and pleasant to speak to. Our driver Martin gave us the memory of a lifetime! Our favorite part of the trip was the country side of Dingle & Galway-incredible breathtaking views that make you want to live there! We felt like royalty pulling up to our stay at the Eske castle as the staff awaited our arrival outside waving to us and also waving us off as we departed the next day. We enjoyed every moment & the company we had on the bus as we toured with. The meals were delicious & included! Martin made us laugh and traveled those narrow roads as nobody can and I learned that the phrase "Top of the Morning to Ya" was actually a myth- although after saying to Martin every day he did say it back to me! 🙂 Thank you Martin, Niall, and Love Irish Tours for an incredible Holiday!

My husband and I took the small bus ten day tour. it was wonderful!! Our tour guide PJ was so full of history and love for his country it made the trip that much better. All of our accomidations were exceptional. We ate like royalty both breakfast and dinner each day. i woild recommend this trip to everyone. it went by so fast but we saw and learned so much about the history, culture and food of Ireland..

We did a tour through Love Irish Tours. From the beginning, Niall was extremely helpful during the planning stages. He assisted in charting our course and was very receptive to our wants and desires. We arrived in Ireland and met up with our driver, Seamus. Seamus was awesome! He has an incredible knowledge of the country. He’s very proud of his culture and is able to share a lot of information about it. Seamus is considerate and very accommodating! We’d highly recommend him as not only as a safe driver but also as an brilliant Irish diplomat. He knows many hidden gems on the back roads of the beautiful countryside. He makes valuable recommendations and always remains highly hospitable and accommodating.

Such a fantastic trip!!! Niall was so helpful
In planning our trip from start to finish, and our driver Seamus was simply amazing! We loved him!!! His driving was great and he was so kind and funny and showed us everything we could’ve ever hoped to see! Can’t wait to go back and we will definitely use Love Irish tours again!!

Amazing trip to Ireland!!!

We had an amazing time in Ireland!! The trip that Niall planned for us was perfect. While we were planning the trip Niall was always available to answer questions either through emails or jump in a call to discuss

Our driver , Seamus, was fantastic!! He was extremely knowledgeable about Ireland and the different sites we visited. He was great at planning each of our days and was able to quickly adjust r try he plans to meet our needs

In addition Seamus was very enjoyable to drive with. Had a great sense of humor and and shared information about Ireland and cultures

The best part was that Seamus added several surprise visits for us that were all amazing.

Being from the US, taking us to the 9/11 firefighter memorial was a very special touch that I will always remember.

Thanks to all at Love Irish and Seamus for making our vacation in Ireland so fantastic.

Perfect! Love Irish Tours and our guide Fintan Connell were amazing! Prior to our arrival, Love Irish Tours was able to anticipate our needs and suggest improvements to our itinerary! We were very pleased! But then Fintan Connell took that anticipation even further. He got to know us and offered so many improvements to our trip. He saved us time and money and was always quick to tell a story about the local area regardless of where we were. He made our trip the trip of a lifetime! Thanks so much to Love Irish Tours and Fintan Connell! We can’t wait to come back!

Just finished an 8 day Love Irish Tour. It was certainly 5 star. Neil, our driver and guide, was fabulous. His knowledge of Ireland was outstanding. He was a great driver, well organized, and just made the trip the best. The accommodations were excellent, especially the castle stay. The meals were all very good and had a selection for everyone. I cann't brag on Love Irish Tours enough. They were well organized, top of the line accommodations, vehicle was lovely, and a great price for all that was provided. Highly recommend and looking at more trips with them.

Wow!! Love Irish Tours was amazing from the planning of our tour through the entire time we were in Ireland. They were able to take our ongoing changes and incorporate them into an amazing itinerary complete with reservations at numerous hotels, restaurants and attractions! We were a small group of eight and we felt as if we were being taken care of like family! While Love Irish Tours was amazing, the real rock star was our guide, Fintan Connell. He spent time asking questions and getting to know us. We all thought he was simply interested in us but we were not giving him enough credit. After getting to know us he was absolutely terrific at making changes to our daily agenda. He saves us time and money everyday. He would call and change or make new reservations depending on where we were and what we were doing. Not only was he a magician at handling our evolving daily intinerary, his true gift was to tell us stories as we traveled. He seemed to know stories about every road and building in every town we went through. He really made the trip come alive! He knew all the best restaurants and pubs and what the local specialties were. His cheerfulness helped set the tone every day and really made us comfortable and excited about the adventures that each day held! As we returned home, all of us said that we’d always remember Ireland through his great tales and shining personality. Love Irish Tours is incredible and Fintan Connell is a legend!!

My husband Jim and I just returned from our Small Group Loop Tour (9/5-9/14/22) and completely loved it! The itinerary was wonderful; we got to see highlights and explore some of the cities and learn enough to whet our appetites for more about the history and culture. But our real joy was traveling along the Wild Atlantic Way and the Coastal Causeway; seeing the gorgeous countryside and rugged coastlines, meeting some of the friendly locals, having a lovely group of 24 people with whom to travel, and being blessed with the best tour guide Kieran Harten. Kieran was not only a wealth of information but also a great coordinator and skilled driver, very caring and accommodating, the perfect guide who takes pride in his country and wants to share that with others, and a real travel ambassador for Ireland. The accommodations on our tour were wonderful; the food was delicious (with choices) and plentiful; and we even got an option of attending a great evening performance of Celtic song and dance (Celtic Steps) while in Killarney.
Our thanks to Edel and her staff behind the scenes; especially to Rhiannon, Jessica and Daniel who we communicated with and all worked to allow an optimal trip. We could not have planned a better trip with such awesome experiences.
We will treasure our photos and all the great memories!

Love Irish Tours was simply amazing! We had a tailored tour over more than a week. We also, made several changes before and during our tour. Love Irish Tours was able to accommodate all our changes with reservations! The power of having Love Irish Tours paved the way for our changes with relative ease. The most amazing part of our tour was our driver/guide, Fintan Connell! He was the best part of our tour. He was always trying to maximize our experience. Based on ongoing discussions he suggested changes to our agenda that simply made all the difference. He saved us time and money and was just as excited as a member of our party. He filled the bus rides with local stories and it seemed like he knew great stories about not just the general areas, but every town, building and back road we were on. His suggestions for lunch and dinner were spot on! Fintan made an outstanding trip and agenda simply the best trip of our lives! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Love Irish Tours and a special thank you to the amazing Fintan Connell! We can't wait to come back!

Love Irish Tours was terrific. The coach we were in was comfortable and everything was well organized. The driver and tour guide (Seamus) had great stories, was funny and enjoyable to be around. He is a great ambassador for Ireland. He suggested several additional stops that were not on our itinerary but were all worthwhile. One was actually the highlight of our trip. This was a very enjoyable holiday and recommend both Love Irish Tours as well as Seamus.

I just returned home after my.six day Taste of Ireland tour. It was a wonderful tour. Seamus was our tour guide and was so informative and funny. Believe you me, no one was bored. The hotels and meals were first class. Seamus took such care of each of us and made sure we were at ease. There were four of us on the tour and by the end of the tour, we were friends. The highlights of my tour were the Cliffs of Mohr, Trinity College, and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

FIVE STARS FOR EVERYTHING! Beautiful motor coach, BEST GUIDE EVER, Martin! Beautiful hotels….what a wonderful experience this was for us. Country is gorgeous, everyone is so kind! Martin went above and beyond to make it the best trip ever, and we got tickets to see the Celtic dancers and band one night! It was an amazing show. Truly one of a kind experience in my life. Thank you all! ☘️

LoveIrishTours.com is the ONLY tour company that would guarantee the following for me and my wife (1) a customised itinerary based on where we wanted to go in Ireland and (2) a private tour option for just the two of us that enabled me to recline my seat as far back as I wanted, since I have a spinal condition where I cannot sit in regular motor coach seats. LoveIrishTours.com was extremely open to arranging a tour such as this and that is the reason I chose them. And, my wife and I were *extremely* pleased with our trip and especially our personal driver, Robbie Allen. Robbie drove us wherever we wanted and yet kept us on track with our travel itinerary. He was extremely knowledgeable about touring and a fantastic guide and fun to be with. While this tour cost most than regular tours, we found that we were super happy with our experience as we got to see and do exactly what we wanted. Our driver was so pleasant and so helpful and he really made the trip so memorable for us by taking us to routes and locations that a motor coach tour could not travel. Overall I feel we definitely got the vakue we had hoped for by paying extra for the private tour. I will definitely book with LoveIrishTours.com again when we come back to Ireland 🇮🇪☘️🍀and hopefully Robbie will be available again!

Highly recommend Love Irish Tours! We just completed a great 10 day private tour of Ireland for 21 of us. Love Irish handled all of our hotels and breakfast, driver/tour guide and private bus for our trip. Our driver, Erik was very knowledgeable and couldn't have been better! Both Erik and Niall (who helped us plan) were patient and full of information and ideas for us. Bus was spotless and service was perfect.

My 2 adult daughters, 19 year old granddaughter and I took the Flavor of Ireland 6 day small group tour in June of 2022. It was a wonderful trip. I can't say enough good things about Love Irish Tours, they far exceeded our expectations in all respects. The hotel accommodations were wonderful and luxurious. The meals were so yummy I gained 5 pounds! We had a great group of people to travel with, there were only 15 of us and we are still in touch with each other. Our tour guide did a great job, not only did he have a thorough knowledge of Ireland but it was obvious he loves his country. He went above and beyond to make sure we all saw things we wanted to see and arranged for us to see a Celtic Steps Show one evening which was great. Not only was Fintan C. a good guide but he is just a great guy and made the trip fun and enjoyable for everyone. My family really enjoyed this trip and loved Ireland, it is such a beautiful country. Love Irish tours does a great job with tours of Ireland.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Love Irish Tours. We booked the Flavoure of Ireland 6 day tour. It was the perfect amount of time to enjoy lots of amazing sights and experiences in Ireland. Our driver, Fintan C., was simply the best! On top of being an amazing driver in some challenging situations, he was kind, extremely knowledgable, and made sure we saw things above and beyond what was scheduled on our tour. The accommodations that were booked for us each night were absolutely amazing! Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would stay in such gorgeous hotels. I simply loved everything about this trip and look forward to visiting Ireland again one day. I'll recommend Love Irish Tours to everyone I know!

We had a wonderful time on our small tour with Love Irish. Great way to see the sights and make new friends. The 6 day Flavour of Ireland tour featured so many wonderful sites and activities. The hotels and meals were wonderful. And our guide/driver Fintan was amazing. So glad we booked with Love Irish.

Wonderful and so very much fun!! Eleven of us. Seamus was the best. He made the trip special and took great care of us!! Would love to do it again soon!!

Okey, dokey! This review of Love Irish Tours will be easy peasy. Our guide, Gordon C, was fantastic and brilliant. From the day he picked us up at our hotel until the day he dropped us off at Dublin Airport, he was one of the group. His knowledge of Irish history was phenomenal. You could tell by what he was telling us about Ireland, that he loves his country. He was also great at telling funny stories and jokes. The hotels we stayed at were luxurious and the food was delicious. The sights we were able to visit were the best part of our trip. Ireland is beautiful and the weather treated us well. Can’t wait to go back!

My thanks go out to Love Irish Tours and especially to out driver Seamus who helped make our journey extra special.
We had 11 people and toured all over Ireland
And having Seamus as our driver making sure we All saw what we wanted and keeping us on schedule was
Truly a blessing.
Make sure you ask for him by name for your next tour

Thank you Love Irish Tours and our driver, Martin O'Kane, for a magical 8 days in Ireland. From 12th century ruins in Trim to the comtemporary Galway music scene, it was a wonderful highlight reel of a beautiful country. My husband Mike and I particularly enjoyed our stay in the Lough Eske Castle Hotel near Galway. I truly felt like I was "queen for a day". I just wish we could have stayed longer.
The majestic natural beauty of the wild Atlantic coast of western ireland was breathtaking. Our fellow passengers on our small group tour were friendly and welcoming. Visiting the colorful fishing village of Dingle was a treat and the Guiness Storehouse rooftop Gravity Bar offered the best views of Dublin. The entire tour was well-planned and well-executed. I give it five stars and our guide, Martin, deserves an extra one. His knowledge of Irish history--as well as backroad shortcuts to avoid traffic--were impressive, but it was his undefatigable sense of humor that made our trip so memorable. We came to see a country and felt like we experienced a culture--including an amazing Celtic Steps show featuring Irish dancing and traditional music.

Orla was wonderful helping to book our 9 day self drive tour of Ireland. I was able to change the locations and number of nights for each stay and she was so patient as we worked through it all. All of our accomodations selected by Orla were fantastic! The rental car pick up and drop off was simple. Orla helped to make this a trip of a lifetime!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our Love Irish tour from 8 to 17 MAY thru the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland! Guide and driver, Fintan Connell deserves much of the credit. What a lovely man! Fintan drove the seven of us with expertise and professionalism. We chose some of the sites on our itinerary, but his suggestions were wonderful and welcome additions! He was kind, caring, calm, knowledgeable, flexible, and funny.
The minibus was nice, and accommodations excellent. Some of the sites had been chosen by our group’ but were able to see some additional, wonderful places as a result of Fin’s knowledge of the island, and his connections. Restaurant suggestions were delicious, and in our budgets. I highly recommend Love Irish Tours, unequivocally!

We started planning our trip to Ireland over 2 years ago. However, COVID forced us to postpone the trip several times. During the planning process, Niall was great in providing all the information we requested. He was very knowledgeable about Ireland and made great recommendations. We were finally able to take our trip this year! Our driver/guide, Peter, was amazing! He made sure we saw all the things we wanted to see on our trip. He made numerous recommendations on where to eat and sights to see. I highly recommend this company due to its excellent people!!!

We had a fabulous time on our 8 day tour. Neil, our guide, is so knowledgeable and fun. He made the trip even more wonderful. He gave us so much Irish history and the variety was so educational.
The planning was perfect, and he got us to each stop early to avoid the crowds. It was a magical trip and I would recommend this great company. From the beginning, Niall was so helpful when planning the trip. He answered all my many questions and
went above and beyond the expected. It was a trip we will always remember. Our rating is a resounding 5!!!!

I just returned from a small group 10 day loop tour. I had the most wonderful time of my life! Ireland is so beautiful and magical. The people of Ireland are so friendly and have the greatest sense of humor.

First I want to thank Orla for her help arranging my tour. She was wonderful.

Then there’s Seamus, our driver, who was amazing! Just the best! He made sure we saw everything on our itinerary and more!
Safety first was his motto. He also was very knowledgeable and was so funny and friendly. Seamus made me feel at home and like family from day one. I can’t say enough good things about him. We didn’t say goodbye, we said until we meet again. He gave us all his email to keep in touch and said we’ve got a friend for life, an Irish cousin.

I look forward to returning to Ireland. I will use Love Irish Tours again and definitely ask for Seamus!

Thank you Love Irish Tours and thank you Seamus!

I just returned from my dream vacation in Ireland. It was everything and more than I had hoped for. I totally fell in love with Ireland.

The beauty and magic of Ireland so hard to imagine, You have to experience it to believe it. The people of Ireland are the nicest and friendliest people I’ve ever seen. And their sense of humor!

I was nervous traveling solo, but quickly felt at home with my small group and our awesome driver Seamus. He was the best and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and became family. Safety was first and he made sure we had a wonderful time. He always thought of our safety and comfort.

I left a big piece of my heart in Ireland. I will definitely return and I will request Seamus to be my driver/guide.

We didn’t say goodbye, but “until we see you next time”.
Big hugs to Seamus and all of the other wonderful people I met along the way.

Winner of a14 family member vacation!
Our driver Seamus possesses excellent navigation skills as well as historical knowledge of all the areas we travelled through. He was most helpful, great fun, and has the patience of a saint!

My family will miss Seamus; “our Irish cousin”, as much as we will miss Ireland! Thank you again!!

We are just today finishing our 2 weeks in Ireland and can't speak highly enough of the few days this past week that our group was able to tour the Ring of Kerry and surrounding areas. Our group consisted of 11 adults and 3 children ages 7 to 11. From the onset it was clear that they were seen as the most important guests and were treated accordingly. During our travels at points the itinerary was demanding but our driver, Seamus, made sure that there were diversions ( to wit the WONDERFUL stop to see a sheep herder and his dogs) which keep them engaged and entertained.

As we arrived in each town he was sure to give information, and advice about what shops or cafes he had found enjoyable, but always with a tenor of kind advice, and not direction on what we should or should not do. No matter, every meal we had was top notch, and as much as possible affordable for a family group traveling on a somewhat modest budget.

Finally, it should be noted the bits of history and knowledge that were imparted as we toured around, in a casual way but relevant and useful as we would come through towns and see landmarks often the narrative would focus on the people of the area and our driver's understanding of that history, or points from his own experiences in the area.

We look forward to our next visit soon enough and would perhaps try to cover a few less miles and stay a bit longer on the coast.

After spending years traveling the globe wanting to see exotic, romantic, and historically exciting places I realize I could have had it all many years ago if I hadn't waited so long to visit Ireland. With Gordon Coss as our guide, my husband and I embarked on a trip from Dublin at the end of March 2022. We were immediately made comfortable for our 8-day privately escorted journey in a luxury touring sedan. Gordon was at once professional and personable enquiring about both our expectations and desires regarding dining times and any restrictions we had. I choose the backseat my husband Jerry in the front, only trying to get into the driver's side the first couple of days before remembering where we were. We tell people here we were blessed with good weather and Gordon who could find the perfect spot in Blarney for my photography loving husband to capture cherry blossoms raining down like confetti on newborn snowy lambs. And, who could recommend the perfect pub in Killarney on a Friday night where we could enjoy the crowd of locals singing along to lamentable ballads that made you cry one minute and hilarious drinking songs the next that had us wishing we were better dancers or at least not so shy. Gordon was always so well dressed in a freshly pressed shirt each morning and well-polished shoes. We saw other tour guides climbing out of buses looking rumbled and dusty and felt as proud as parents.
The pre-selected accommodations proved both comfortable as well as convenient as all were close enough to evening outings to make it possible to return on our own by walking when the weather was fair, or a quick pick up by Gordon. We stayed at some really lovely B&Bs, and on our final night were fortunate to be at the Trim Hotel and across from the grounds of Trim Castle where school children were recording a performance to benefit Ukraine.
Thank you Love Irish for providing us with such a great and knowledgeable guide as Gordon.

excellent tour. Would do again in a heart beat. Friendly, helpful, professional, tour was designed with us in mind. Felt like a queen of the castle. Ireland is the place to go. Clean, friendly and fun loving.

Daniel went above and beyond! Coming from the US for the first time, with just my grandmother, he made the trip easy for us!! Everything he planned for us on a 12 day self drive tour has been amazing! Very pleased!

We are one of three couples that recently spent a spectacular week in Ireland arranged by Love Irish. Olivia set up the tour based on our requests. She made all the arrangements for wonderful hotels, tours etc... Great job Olivia !
There are not enough words to thank our fabulous driver/guide Fintan Connell. He picked us up at the airport very early in the morning and off we went. We had some destinations/tours planned. Fintan was able to access the vibe of our group very quickly and filled in the rest of our tour personalizing it to us. Fintan made a wonderful trip all the more special.
Fintan is knowledgeable, kind, witty, helpful, professional ..... We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Fintan. It was hard to leave beautiful Ireland, but even harder to leave our new friend.
Five stars is not enough - Thank you Love Irish and thank you Fintan

We had a wonderful experience using Love Irish Tours for our recent trip to Ireland. From the beginning of planning and booking our trip, Olivia O'Rourke Harty at Love Irish Tours was so helpful and worked hard to arrange and customize a trip for us . We worked together to plan our itinerary so that we could visit places in Ireland that we had never seen before on our previous trips to Ireland. The hotels that Olivia booked us in fabulous with wonderful accommodations. The best part of the entire trip though was our driver/tour guide FINTAN CONNELL. He was awesome!!! He deserves a 10 star rating not just a 5 star rating. He really made our tour a fun and informative trip. His knowledge of the areas we traveled was great and he made us feel like family. I think that a tour guide is the most important part of any tour vacation and Fintan Connell definitely made our trip exceptional!
I would highly recommend using Love Irish Tours to book a vacation and if you are lucky Fintan Connell will be your tour guide!

I just returned from our tour with Love Irish Tours and can only say that 5 stars is not enough, I would give it 10 stars if possible. First , I would like to thank Orla Begley who helped plan the private tour with me. She put up with countless emails, phone calls and changes, not only to itinerary but also the number of people coming due to the covid restrictions at home and abroad. Secondly, I can not begin to thank our driver/guide Ray Tobin. Ray went out of his way so that everyone on the trip( 13 in all) had a great time. He included some suprise stops that I never would have thought of but made the trip so great. He kept us laughing, was very caring, knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure we had a most memorable trip, right through to the end. I would highly reccommend Ray to anyone doing a tour. I will be back for another tour in the future.

I cannot begin to explain the incredible time we had on our honeymoon. First off, Edel was great to work with. I had never planned such a large vacation before but she responded very quickly to my many questions I had!

Second, Martin was our driver - and I cannot say enough good things about him. He made our trip. He wasn't just a "tour driver" - by the end of the week, it was as if we had been friends for years!! He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much. I seriously have nothing bad to say. We knew this trip would be fantastic - but he truly made it seem like a fairy tale! It's been few weeks since we have been back from Ireland and I think about it most of the day, every day. I am SO SO happy we decided to go with Love Irish Tours.

We went on the 10 day loop tour. My girl friend and I could not be more pleased with how our tour progressed. We give it a 5 star on every category. All went so well. Hotels were incredible, photo stops awesome, scenery breathtaking. We must give a standing ovation for our guide/driver, Fintan Connell. "Fin" was amazing, his attention to detail undoubtedly a big part of the tours success. Fin told of the people, history and legends of the places we were visiting. Made it so interesting and personal. Fin made good suggestions on pubs, coffee shops , restaurants to visit. We loved them all. Some of our co travelers were not in the best of health, we were impressed with the extra attention and concern Fin had for them. Fin always made sure our luggage promptly taken to room, and in morning loaded back on bus. We have misplaced luggage and other items on past tours, Fin made sure it did not happen here.

This was my 3rd visit to Ireland, my girl friends first. We will definitely return and will use Loves Irish tours, 2023. Hope to have Fin as our guide/driver.

Thank you for the memories
Robert & Sharon

We just returned from a 10 day tour of Ireland. I can not say enough great things about this company. They took care of everything. Our guide, Finn, was beyond amazing. He became like family to our group and was so very knowledgeable about the country and an excellent driver. We stayed in the best hotels and the food was excellent. They made all the arrangements for our return home Covid test. If you want to do a tour of Ireland, this is the company and Finn is your man!!!!!!!

We went on 8 day tour in a nice 24 seat coach. There were on 6 couples so there was a lot of room. Martin was our guide and was an excellent driver and narrator. We could not have asked for a better trip. All accommodations were great and meals were included which made it a big plus. When trip was over we were all close friends. Even with the Covid which took extra planning and testing that they helped out with tremendously. Thank you Love Irish Tours.

We just had Seamus drive us from Galway to Kinsale and from Kinsale to Dublin He was the best! He showed us some great sites and gave us a history lesson about the Irish and Ireland. I will come back and when I do I will request Seamus!

There was a group of 6 of us and Seamus was our driver for 2 separate trips: 1st from Galway to Kinsale, 2nd from Kinsale to Dublin. Seamus was amazing and made our trip one we will never forget. He made us feel at home and shared so many interesting facts and stories. I highly recommend him as a driver and can’t wait to come back and travel with him again. Overall our trip exceeded
my expectations in every way!

I cannot overstate enough how unbelievable our trip was! Memories that will last forever and we got to all be there as a family. I keep telling people that ask that I just felt like I was at home while there – the people, sites, experiences were all awesome. The itinerary was great and enabled us to get a little bit of everything. Even the weather was better than expected! On behalf of our entire family, thank you so much for all of your efforts to make this happen. You have been lovely to plan with and very accommodating.

I also wanted to acknowledge Gerry. He was the star of our trip. He is one of the nicest, genuine, and professional person we have ever come across. He provided us with so much history and cultural knowledge, safe travels, hospitality (and extreme patience haha), and LAUGHS! We had so much fun with him and I can say for certain that if it wasn’t for him, our trip would not nearly have been as much fun. I don’t even have enough of the right words for much we appreciated what he provided us, and by the end of the trip he was a part of our family.

I attached a few pictures of all of us. My Mom wasn’t in the one with Gerry, but she is on the left of the one in the pub (she hates pictures haha). I’m the one in the USA Hockey shirt on the far left in the Gerry picture. The other picture is of my two nephews, Riley and Connor, who both adored Gerry and he was so good to them. Connor isn’t very welcoming to people but he went to Gerry for the picture with open arms!

Thank you again so so very much for everything. I have already and will continue to recommend Love Irish Tours to everyone I know. I will also go to your website and write a review. Hope to speak with again for my next time!

A group of thirteen of us did an eight day tour of Ireland. We had the best time ever, mainly because of Love Irish Tours, they were a first class act. Edel was very informative from the very start and helped put our tour together. We stayed in the best hotels in great locations. Our tour driver Kieran was outstanding. He was always on time, accommodating, and patient. His knowledge of his country is to be commended. He made recommendations that made our trip even more memorable. Also, the way he could maneuver the bus put us all at ease. Kieran went out of his way to take us to the most picturesque viewing locations, because he didn’t want us to miss out on some of Ireland’s most beautiful scenery. We would highly recommend Love Irish Tours!

Hi EdelI can't express enough how much we enjoyed our recent 8-day tour.  Of course, the scenery was beautiful and the Irish are most friendly.  However, the attention to detail about every aspect of the tour is what made it memorable.  The pre-tour guidance from you and Patricia gave us great confidence before we even started.  Our tour guide, Neil, was exceptionally knowledgeable about so many subjects we were, as a group, hard pressed to come up with a question he couldn't answer.  We came away with a good knowledge and appreciation of Irish history and current Irish life.  His friendliness and caring for all of us made us feel like we were family.</em>

Your choice of hotels was overall outstanding, especially for Ann and me.  I mentioned to you our 34th wedding anniversary fell during the trip and five of the hotels upgraded our room and gave us lovely treats.  We can't thank you enough for arranging that and making our anniversary celebration so special.  Also, the breakfasts and dinners were delicious.

You can be sure we will recommend your company to family and friends who are planning to travel to Ireland.  We wish you continued success with your business and thank you again for a wonderful tour.

Hi Edel
I am one of the 9 ladies that traveled in the Carol Burnett tour. We just returned from Ireland last night and I wanted to thank you for all the work you put into the amazing tour. I have traveled with some tours before and this has been the best one. You accommodated our every wish, the castle stay was superb. Seamus was the absolute best driver I have had. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and answered any questions that we had. He went above and beyond with the care and treatment he showed us. I am very great full for your work in meeting each of our goals. Seamus and you are a true gem of Ireland. I will recommend Love Irish Tours to my friends and have them request Seamus as a driver as he really made the experience extra special. Thank You! Love

f you're looking to book a tour of Ireland don't go any farther. This is the best tour company you will find from our point of view from our booking agent, Adel to the driver Seamus.  Adel was quick to respond to all of our questions and booked us to see all the wonderful sights we saw, including one night stay in the Dromoland Castle which was a priceless memory for our group. Seamus, our tour driver, was friendly, knowledgeable about his country and told us many facts. He took us to all the prearranged tours we booked, plus more.  My friend and I have both traveled the states and abroad and has not experienced the personal service and positive personally that he exhumed. Thank you again for all your help, we will tell all our friends about Loveirishtours

Nine of us girls just completed a 9 days in Ireland that included a 5-day tour for a milestone birthday celebration. Our front line contact at Love Irish Tours was Edel Boyle. She was friendly, informative, prompt to respond and flexible. As you can imagine getting nine women to agree on one itinerary was a challenge, so we took a chance and left it up to Adel. It worked out fantastic; we saw most of the major sites along with all the beauty of the Irish countryside. As a special treat we spent one night at the Dromolone Castle in Clare, it was simply magical. Our trip would not have been nearly as special if not for our driver Seamus. To begin, his foremost concerned was our safety, on or off the road. Seamus was quite a jokester, a singer and a true Irish gent!  His knowledge of the country was unbelievable always keeping us engaged and wanting to know more. It was obvious that he was very proud of his Irish heritage.  I have vacationed in the Caribbean, Scotland, Italy, and Canada.  Never have I had such a wonderful experience and Edel and Seamus were key players. While initially planning our trip, Ireland was not my top pick and I was definitely proven wrong. Sometime soon, we hope to return to this beautiful country, continue our journey and share a few laughs with our new friend Seamus. Thank you, Adel, Seamus and Love Irish Tours!

Love Irish Tours is by far the best travel company I have been associated with.  A previous trip I made to Italy was booked through another travel/tour company and my experiences with them were nothing like what Love Irish Tours provided to our group.
Edel was extremely helpful and guided us in all of the right directions.  She was very responsive to our questions and went out of her way to provide us with as much information as possible to make our trip memorable.
Seamus , our driver, made my experience the trip of a lifetime!  My expectations were exceeded in every way and
he was instrumental in my assessment.  He never made me feel uneasy on the road; he was very safe, yet he was also very attentive to our many questions and comments.  He provided us all with an immeasurable amount of information about Ireland and took us to the most amazing areas! He was also kind enough to listen to our special requests and, if there was a way to fit it into the schedule, Seamus would do it with a smile.  I know I speak for everyone in the above group when I say that we were all sad to leave our most excellent driver and informative guide when our tour ended on Tuesday!
My previous experiences with staff at other travel companies does not compare to the professionalism and experience that the Love Irish Tours staff provided to our group.
Thank you, and you can be assured, I will be recommending Love Irish Tours to all of my family and friends!  And, as far as I am concerned, I plan on returning to Ireland again and Love Irish Tours will be my first point of contact when that time comes!

A group of nine friends just completed an eight day trip to Ireland. As the leading organizer, I was under pressure to find the right tour company.
Love Irish Tours was simply fantastic. Their rep Edel Boyle was informative, responsive, friendly and promptly answered all my trivial and pertinent questions. She was our pivotal contact person for three months prior to our trip and during our trip. Edel also arranged for our spectacular driver/guide. Seamus was always helpful, jovial and always on time.
His knowledge of Ireland was remarkable. He know everything, in every quadrant of the country. As we made changes to our itinerary, Seamus made recommendations that frankly made our trip special. Cliffs of Kerry, Galway Cathedral and many more. Also, his skillful driving put us at ease and he made longer drives fun and engaging. He was simply the best.

I, along with 8 friends, are just completing a 9 day tour of Ireland, set up through your company. I want to let you know how INCREDIBLE this trip was. We saw almost every point of interest in the country. We were able to change our itinerary on a daily basis due to things some wanted to see or places suggested by our Absolutely Wonderful driver/ tour guide. Seamus , our driver, was incredible. He knows his country like the back of his hand. We saw places that we never had on our original agenda. Besides showing the sights, he was absolutely a gentleman, a comedian, a fantastic driver, and most of all , by the end of the trip, he was our friend . I have been to several countries using tours like this, but never had a guide as fantastic as Seamus. I think if he a had another week with us we'd all be speaking Gaelic. Bless you for setting us up with him.

Dear Love Irish Tours
I am just finishing up a wonderful week in Ireland. This has been the best tour that I have taken; I have taken a similar tour through Italy, river cruises through Europe and Russia, and a Mediterranean cruise. Our contacts with Edel have been informative, efficient, and professional. Her help was greatly appreciated. Our driver/guide Shamus is exceptional. His knowledge and love for his country is so obvious. He listened to our ideas and was an expert at making arrangements for our time in Ireland. His handling of the mini-bus through tight quarters was amazing and he attended to our every need. We had fun together and we appreciated his efforts on our behalf. We wanted to let you know how much enjoyed our tour!

My husband and I are sadly in the last days of our first trip to Ireland.  We are with the Wellinghoff group.  We just have to thank you for all your help in making this one of our best trips ever.  From start to finish your company has been top of the line all hotels where wonderful.  However what made our trip so special was your choice of Seamus for our driver!  What a gem, he was so knowledgeable and his pride in his country was just so beautiful.  He took us to some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen, his hidden gems!!!  We have gone on tours in Italy, France and Switzerland, and in America, and by far your company and Seamus are far above any other tour company and guide.  We have not been on a trip before where by the second day we are planning when we can come back!!!  All the spots that Seamus suggested to grab a bite or to shop where always right on. His knowledge of Ireland and all the personal touches he added to his stories made our time fly by with such fun and laughter.  We love Ireland and we will be back and will use your company and Seamus again. I will tell our friends about you and Seamus!!! Thank you again.

Hi Edel, I just wanted to thank you for everything. My friend and I had an amazing time. I'm glad everything worked out perfectly. Here are some photos that we took during our stay. I obviously have a lot more, but can only send a few on my phone. My friend and I are both glad we decided to do the drive tour, we were able to experience the beauty of Ireland on a closer level. Thanks again for all your help! Have a great rest of the week!

We have booked our trip with Love Irish tours for May and I must say they were so helpful from the first inquiry right through the booking process. I would recommend using this great company as they will take great care of you! Me and my family are so excited about our trip and meeting Love Irish tours for a coffee

They are excellent... I traveled with my daughter for 12 days... Everything was well planned out by Mary... There we no hiccups...so when we arrived at our destinations.. everyone was well prepared for our arrivals... We had a most wonderful vacation thanks to Mary and "Love Irish Tours".. All of the accommodations were just superb... Thanks again for making this special.

Thank you, Mary, for planning a great trip to Ireland for us - even at the last minute. We enjoyed every minute of it because Ireland is a beautiful country populated by wonderful people. Our driver, William Barrett, made our trip perfect. He catered to our every need. He was very personable and was happy to do whatever we wanted - if we didn't know what we wanted, he always had interesting suggestions. Anyone who travels through Ireland with William as their driver will have a wonderful and memorable trip.

Wonderful experience using Love Irish Tours. We planned a VERY last minute trip to Dublin. Mary made sure we could see everything we wanted to see and was wonderful to work with. She was easily reachable and responsive to emails.
Damien O'Reilly was our driver: guide and I can't say enough about him. Caring, knowledgeable, interesting, funny and accommodating are just a few of the positive adjectives to describe him. You definitely won't go wrong booking with Love Irish Tours.

I can not say enough good things about Love Irish Tours. I worked with Mary to plan the perfect vacation to Ireland. Mary was incredible from start to finish. ( Even checked to see how my trip was after we returned home from our vacation.)
This was my first trip to Ireland and I didn't know much about Ireland; other then a few places I wanted to see while we were there. Mary helped me figure out realistically what we could see in a day, as well as put our B&amp; B's and hotels in the perfect locations based on what we wanted to see. I had many questions during the planning process. They were answered almost immediately even with the 5 hour time difference.
