Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Phenomenal Tour
Sep 2023 • Family
We were lucky enough to come across Personal Tours Ireland by chance. We are from the US and traveling to Ireland and no idea how to schedule a tour. After e-mailing Personal Tours, Peter Cooney reached out and gave me recommendations. They were different than what I was considering but went with his suggestions. WOW, what a great move. Peter picked us up at our hotels and from there on we were immersed in Irelands Beauty and history. We did a 4 day trip and saw and learned so much more than we ever expected. Peter was very knowledgeable and a great story teller. His van is large and comfortable. I compared pricing and he was very competitive. Peter was our tour guide but by the end he was our friend. SO professional and considerate. Peter and Personal Tours Ireland made our vacation special with memories that will last a lifetime.

Satisfied repeat customers!
Sep 2023 • Family
If you are reading this review to decide if it will be worth it to hire a personal tour guide - then I'm here to tell you to do it! You will not be disappointed!!
This was the second time we've been fortunate to tour Ireland with Peter! Five years ago we went with my husband and sons, and this time my son Shane and I surprised my sister and brother in law during their trip there! Although we went to some of the same towns, we saw completely different things - it was as if we hadn't visited there before! I dare say this trip was just as amazing as the last one. Peter never disappoints with showing us around, guiding us to new and exciting places and making the trip the absolute best! His sense of humor isn't too bad either! ;) Until next time! Karen and Shane

Fabulous Personalized Tour that Exceeded our Expectations!
Sep 2023 • Family
We returned home last evening from our Ireland vacation where we toured from Dublin to Galway and back with Peter. The decision to hire Peter is one we will not regret, he made sure we had the best experience and saw all we wanted to see and more. We visited places we would never had known about if not for his knowledge of this beautiful country. While he is professional and kind, we also had many laughs along our journey. We listened to great Irish music and learned about the history and culture of the land. ( and the English!) we all made a friend with Peter he is truly professional and welcoming. Until next time! Slainte!

Fantastic private tour of Ireland!
Aug 2023 • Family
Our group of 10, family and friends ranging in age from 5 to 53, spent three wonderful days touring Ireland with Peter. He is the owner operator of the tour company and his pride in ensuring that we were able to learn about the incredible history of his homeland was clear in everything he did. From my initial communication when planning our trip, to the presentation of his very comfortable vehicle (which he cleaned daily!) and his willingness to be flexible about requests to make unplanned stops for pictures, Peter was a fabulous host. And I purposely say "host" instead of saying "tour guide" because for the 3 days we were with him, he made us feel like he had welcomed us into his home.

Trip of a Lifetime
Sep 2023 • Family
What an amazing trip! Our guide (owner and operator), Peter, has an amazing passion to guide. It was apparent from the get go. We were taken to some amazing locations during our journey, some of which we asked to visit and other Peter surprised us with, which we were extremely happy for. He provided us with wonderful informational stories, history and music of towns, routes, statues, and locations along our journeys. He was always willing to answer our questions or provide suggestions when in town. We needed up traveling for a week and stayed in a different city each night. Peter is very kind, professional, timely and respectful. We look forward to many more trips with him in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Peter is Ireland
Aug 2023 • Couples
Peter is a kind and considerate tour guide. This was our second trip with Peter. We find him to be very knowledgeable, takes health and safety seriously, listens to what we want to do and accomplish. He never ceases to amaze us with additional places to add to our itinerary. His love of Ireland shows in his day-to-day adventures that he presents to his clients. We will always have a special friend across the pond.

2nd time with Peter, and looking forward to the 3rd.
Aug 2023 • Friends
This is our 2nd time with Peter and already planning a 3rd.
I could go on and rave about his professionalism, his knowledge for Ireland, his friendly nature, etc. But I will leave it simple and just say if you want to enjoy Ireland, no matter how many days you have, Peter is the key.

The only way to see Ireland
Jun 2023
This was our second tour of Ireland with Peter and Personal tours of Ireland. He is so knowledgeable and entertaining while you are driving. He makes every effort to take care of his passengers. Anything you could possible need, Peter can provide. I suffer from motion sickness and the motion sickness bracelet, Peter provided was a game changer!

Personal tours of Ireland is the only way to see Ireland.

7 family members, 8 days, 1200 km (745 mi), 1 fantastic tour guide!
Aug 2023 • Family
Customized travel with Peter Cooney was far and above the expectations of this US family (Chicago, Boston, Seattle) - ranging in ages from 20 to 75. Peter was always on time, his 19 passenger Sprinter van was always clean. He always double checked and confirmed our plans for each day in case we wanted to tweak, cancel or add something. He was always adaptable and often suggested sites we hadn’t considered. At the end he felt like a member of the family! An extremely safe, caring driver (once he stopped to offer a woman assistance with a flat tire (she, of course, was fine!)). Very professional - yet friendly. Patient. Knowledgeable. Never felt programmed….He made this long awaited dream happen in the best way imaginable.
