We visited Dublin over New Years, and Eamonn took our family of four (including 2 boys 12 and 15) on two separate tours. First he took us on the 5 hour tour around Dublin. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to his country. We saw castles, seals, pubs, and even a donkey! Then later in our trip he took us into the mountains to see a farm where sheep dogs are trained, afterwards we stopped for coffee in Hollywood, then Eamonn took us to Phoenix Park and taught us how to play the Gaelic sports of hurling and football. The kids absolutely loved this! We ended our tour at one of the oldest pubs in Dublin frequented by the gravediggers that worked at the cemetery next door. Highly recommend Eamonn and we can’t wait to visit again!

Eammon was a true gift! He was flexible and knowledgeable and fun! He made our trip interesting (always offering lots of tidbits) - he listened to our interests (big U2 fans so took us to some U2 spots) made our restaurant reservations (great recommendations and got us prime seats!) and took away travel stress - taking us door to door - which was key since we were traveling with our 82 year old dad. I have already recommended him to anyone I know traveling to Dublin !

Eamonn was a great guide, considered our group’s varying ages and speeds and made it comfortable for everyone . He was informative, fun, and gave us a wonderful history of Dublin! He made recommendations for our visit. The best part of our trip!

Eamonn took us to so many of the wonderful historic sites all the way from Dublin to Monaghan. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and a better guide. He filled our day full of stories, laughter and music! Newgrange was one of the most fascinating historic sites we’ve ever explored!! We highly recommend Eamonn! Thanks again !!

My wife and I spent the full day with Eamonn visiting the Glendalough, Wicklow and the city of Kilkenny. It was a memorable day touring the area outside of Dublin. Eamonn was the best guide and host you could ask for. Also, we wanted to visit the Dalkey area on our way to Wicklow and again Eamonn made this happen. Great tour, superb experience, well done!

Dublin is an amazing city. It was our first time visiting and we will come back for sure. The tour was meant to be a kick start to both give us some orientation and insights. And what can I say: It was a perfect day all the way. Thank you very much for the great time! Fully recommend!

We took a trip to Ireland for my mom’s 75th birthday. We were looking for a driver/tour guide for a series of day trips. Our most important trip was to the west of Ireland to look for the homes where our ancestors were born. Eamon was incredible and made what would have already been a life-changing trip that much better. His passion and knowledge of Irish history was incredible. Wherever you go, he has connections and experience to improve your stay. We toured Belfast, Howth and Ireland, at each stop Eamon knowing the absolutely best pubs and restaurants in addition to navigating traffic and providing history along the way. In Dublin, he arranged a special table for live music and arranged for the band to sing happy birthday to my mom. When we moved from Dublin to Galway, Eamon still had a vast network to make sure we had the best time possible. Eamon does a great job of getting to know everyone in your group and modifying itineraries based on the needs of the group. His focus is on an authentic experience and avoids some of the cliche tourist destinations. When we went to find our ancestors homes, he literally knocked on doors and chatted up strangers in pubs helping to piece everything together. Tell him what you want to accomplish and let him do his thing. I cannot recommend him more highly.

We had a great day with our driver!! Fun, educational, scenic and authentic. We had whiskey tasting overlooking a coast, lunch at a great local place and a wonderful pint of Guinness in an old, out of the way pub full of locals, not tourists. We also stopped an a fabulous whiskey distillery with a tasting and one final pub to wrap up our great day! He will set up the day however you want it, we wanted it this way, so it met and exceeding our requests!! Overall, A+++++ BOOK NOW!

My family and friends booked a tour with ChaperoneVIP tours in Dublin for September 3, 2024. Our contact was Eamonn. He was fully booked for that date, but he was kind enough to offer to do the tour himself. He picked us up at the cruise port on the day of our tour. We all had a fantastic day in Dublin Eamonn explained about the history of Dublin and we visited some of the Victorian era pubs where we had lunch and a pint of beer and Guinness stout. Lunch was fantastic we all enjoyed the food. After lunch we visited the Teeling Whiskey Distillery where we sampled whiskey. Eamonn made our day fun and enjoyable and I would recommend ChaperoneVIP Private Tours if you are planning to visit Dublin.

Eamonn was an amazing guide! He picked us up from the train station to begin our tour. We quickly discovered that this tour would be a highlight on our trip! Eamonn was a wealth of information from the history of Dublin to the best pubs and pints in town. He gave us recommendations on local pubs and restaurants. He was personable, flexible, and witty. He listened to what we were interested in doing and brought us to places that we never would have found on our own! His love for his country is contagious and brought us closer to our Irish heritage! I highly recommend choosing Eamonn for your guide if he deserves an A++. We loved every minute of our tour!

Eamonn is a terrific guide! He has extensive knowledge of historical events as well as the local area. We enjoyed specialized service and he willingly accommodated all of our requests. He is friendly, witty and flexible. Our Dublin day would not have been as memorable without him!

What a fantastic experience, from booking to the tour itself. Eamonn took the time to find out what we were interested in and plan a tour that fit those desires. At the same time, he was very flexible and changed some stops the day of the tour based upon our comments, requests and knowledge he gained from simply taking the time to get to know us. The tour was filled with information on Dublin and Ireland in general combine with stops at some great pubs in the city. He made sure every need was taken care of that all of our questions were answered. I cannot say enough about Eamonn and the incredible service he provided!

We really enjoyed our day with Eamon. We booked a 5 hour tour of Dublin and learned so much about Dublins history. We asked Eamon to show us “his Dublin” which he did indeed. We went to places I would not have thought to add to our original itinerary and we had a blast. Eamon showed us some off the beaten path places of Dublin and when I return I will call him again. I highly recommend!

Eamonn seriously made the most amazing day we could have asked for. Our tour was across the countryside to the city of Cong. We did so many amazing things that Eamonn planned for us. It truly made my Mother-In-Laws whole trip to Ireland getting to see where the John Wayne movie was filmed. We were able to pack so much into one day. Our family will definitely be back to visit again and will use him for another tour!

Eamonn was amazing. We did a seven day private tour around Ireland and requested that we see the true Ireland. He hit it out of the park and gave us such an adventure and so many avenues to see and experience every aspect of his country. He was so knowledgeable sharing history, architecture, and geography. As we got to know one another better (very quickly) he adapted and fine tuned our tour to maximize our experience. Eamonn is an exceptional tour guide and will become your new Irish Friend who shares his homeland with great pride and enthusiasm. 10 out 10 for Eamonn our new Irish Friend!
